Bengaluru: Legal luminaries on August 10 emphasised the need to highlight the “unenumerated rights within Constitutional framework” in the best interests of the masses.
Vibrant legal brains delved deep into the “said and unsaid” aspects of the Statute at a two-day seminar organised by the Karnataka Law University. Several law colleges joined hands in “igniting the minds” of the young generation.
The seminar was organised in the sprawling M. S. Ramaiah College of Law saw speakers delve deep into the “unsaid” aspects in order to throw light on the nuances of the Constitution.
Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H. K. Patil who inaugurated the seminar explained the guarantees provided by the state government in the interest of the people.
“We have provided potable drinking water to each and every village which by itself is a revolutionary step,” Patil added.
National Law School of India University Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) Sudhir Krishnaswamy, in his erudite speech said, the Constituent Assembly fully elaborated fundamental rights as well as socio-economic rights explicitly in the Statute.
“There are three stages in giving effect to the fundamental and socio-economic rights. These are, recognising through executive action, interpretation by the judiciary and incorporation and amendment by the legislature. This needs to be thoroughly understood by the law students,” the NLSIU Vice Chancellor explained.
Prof. (Dr.) Basavaraju, Vice Chancellor of KSLU, Hubballi, was of the view that the government must take steps to effectively implement various rights given to the people in the Constitution.
“Law students should create awareness among the people about the fundamental rights,” Dr Basavaraju added.
In the six technical sessions after the inauguration of the seminar, experts from the legal fraternity discussed in great detail the unenumerated rights within the Constitutional framework.
