Important Principles of Constitutional & Writ Jurisdiction

- Supremacy of the Constitution: The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and all actions of the legislature, executive, and judiciary must conform to it.
- Rule of Law: Every individual, including the government, is subject to the law, ensuring equality before the law and protection from arbitrary actions.
- Separation of Powers: Legislative, executive, and judicial powers are distributed among different organs to prevent misuse and maintain checks and balances.
- Judicial Review: Courts have the power to examine the constitutionality of laws, executive orders, and administrative actions.
- Fundamental Rights Protection: Citizens can approach the High Courts or Supreme Court to safeguard their fundamental rights through writ petitions.
- Doctrine of Basic Structure: The Parliament cannot alter the basic features of the Constitution through amendments.
- Principle of Natural Justice: Ensuring fairness, impartiality, and the right to be heard before any decision affecting rights is made.
- Public Interest Litigation (PIL): Allowing citizens and groups to seek enforcement of rights for larger public interest, even if they are not directly affected.
