๐ŸŒฟ 80 Years of Independence. 80 Years of Constitutional Aspirations. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

As India celebrates its 80th Independence Day, we honour the visionaries who fought for freedom and the Constitution that transformed that freedom into a promise of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Independence is not merely a moment in history; it is a continuing commitment to uphold constitutional values, strengthen democratic institutions, and safeguard the rights and dignity of every citizen.

On this milestone occasion, let us reflect on our constitutional journey, celebrate our achievements, and renew our resolve to build a more just, inclusive, and democratic India.

Happy 80th Independence Day! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

๐Ÿ”น Feeding Tube and the Constitution: What Harish Rana Case Actually Changed

Authored by Aaishwary Raj, a 3rd-year law student at Gujarat National Law University.

The Supreme Courtโ€™s ruling in the Harish Rana case did more than permit withdrawal of clinically assisted nutrition and hydration (CANH). It fundamentally reshaped how Indian courts may reconstruct the will of a patient who can no longer express one.

This piece examines:
โ€ข Article 21 and the right to die with dignity
โ€ข CANH withdrawal as โ€œauthorised omissionโ€
โ€ข Substituted judgment and constitutional autonomy
โ€ข Dworkinโ€™s theory of critical interests
โ€ข Structural inequalities in accessing dignified death

The article raises a deeper constitutional question: Can a right truly remain meaningful when access to it depends upon the ability to litigate before the Supreme Court?

In this post titled โ€œManifest Arbitrariness and Article 14: Cure or Constitutional Drift?โ€, authored by Divija Manaktala, a 2nd-year student at Maharashtra National Law University, Mumbai, the article critically examines how the Supreme Courtโ€™s expansion of Article 14 from reasonable classification to the doctrine of manifest arbitrariness has reshaped constitutional equality.

While the doctrine empowers courts to strike down laws that are cruel, excessive, or morally indefensible, the piece cautions that its unregulated use risks turning Article 14 into a discretionary judicial veto over legislative wisdom.

Arguing for a principled middle path, the article urges calibrated limits on arbitrariness review to preserve both substantive justice and democratic legitimacy.

In this post titled โ€œIs the Constituent Assembly Still Supreme? Revisiting the Bar of Article 329โ€, Atharv Sharma, a 2nd-year law student at Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur, analyses the evolving judicial interpretation of Article 329 and its tension with the Constituent Assemblyโ€™s authority.

The article explores whether the bar on judicial review in electoral delimitation remains sacrosanct, or whether the Supreme Court can intervene using the Basic Structure Doctrine and transformative constitutionalism to safeguard democratic legitimacy.
