The Enforcement system under the Constitution of India

 In this regard, our Constitution of India reveals the Enforcement system for the implementation of human rights which are available in India. In today’s context, the direct enforcement system of human rights is mainly found underthe Constitution of India namely the Supreme Court of India (Under Artcle-32)& the High Court (Under Article 226). The major responsibility for implementation or enforcement of human rights or fundamental rights has been furnished to the Hon’ble Courts under the Supreme Law that is the Constitution of India & the ‘Supremacy of the Constitution’[1], ‘the Jurisdiction of articles 32 & 226’[2] ‘Independent Judiciary’[3] cover within the ‘Basic Structure’ of the Constitution as laid down by the Supreme Court of India which cannot be destroyed by the amendment (s) of the Parliament of India. Except the aforesaid Courts, no court or tribunal or commission or others has power & jurisdiction in respect of theimplementation or enforcement of human rights or fundamental rights in India. In the case of RomeshThappar v. State of Madras[4] was held that the Supreme Court is as the protector and Guarantor of fundamental rights or a Watchful Sentinel on the qui vive. The above said Hon’ble Courts are the protector of the rights. These rights as mentioned hereinbefore are protected, preserved & developed through the procedure of the implementation or enforcement by the issuance of appropriate direction (s) or order (s) or writ (s).  The human rights or fundamental rights are also enforced by the means of ‘Judicial Review’ or ‘Judicial Activism’ or ‘Public Interest Litigation’ by the hon’ble Supreme Court or High Court respective. The human rights or fundamental rights as contained or recognized under the Part- 03 in the Indian Constitutional Law have been guaranteed by the article 32.[5]The hon’ble Supreme Court or High Court concerned may exercised their power as conferred to enforce the rights against the State orin the case ofDelhi Domestic Working Defence Forum v. Union of India[6] held that the fundamental rights can also be enforced against the Private Institution (s) or person (s). In this connection, other relevant provisions with regard to the enforcement in addition to above said articles as- Article (s)-136, 137, 139 and the ‘Curative Petition’ has also been propounded in the case of Rupa Ashok Hurra v. Rupa Ashok Hurra[7] in this regard.

With respect to the aforesaid, the hon’ble Courts are playing the greatest and most important role & the also the Courts are performing their furnished responsibilities for theimplementation or enforcement of human rights or fundamental rights in India which is very worth appreciating. The courts have created or written the history in the field of the rights for the interest of all people beyond all kinds of discriminations. A number of leading, land mark and other cases have also been delivered by the Courts for the welfare of all. The courts are having their own the most specific place in the Indian history concerned.

[1]The Protection of Human Rights Act 1993

THE ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDIA

 In this respect, Human rights are the life giving &life saving foundation pillars of human & their life which are natural, universal & integral power for all gifted by God & Goddess free of cost only by which the existence of human & human life is possible. As the human rights are necessary, essential, compulsory & mandatory as its Enforcement system; the human rights & its Enforcement system are interrelated, mutually depends on each other. Both are the complement with each other.  In this regard, the existence of the Human rights is not possible without its Enforcement system in any case. The significance & importance of human rights are absolutely existent with its Enforcement system. In Rule of Law, the success & achievement (s) of human rights can be got only its Enforcement system. The entire concept of human rights is unsuccessful & failed without its Enforcement system. The relationship between the human rights and its Enforcement system is as the body and soul. The importance of the body & life is when; the soul lives in the body; without soul or spirit, the body is disposed of as required. The same relation is found between the aforesaid.

In today’s scenario, the deprival or deprivation and denial from the Life & Personal Liberty of human & violations of the human rightsin spite of the existence of the Enforcement system is very common openly or broad day light in the furtherance, compliance & existence of Rule of Law, subject to the principle (s) Equity, good conscience, justice, morality, Natural justice and other connected things in sovereign, secular, socialist & democratic India. The conditions of human rights is the worst in India because the human rights are being violated most seriously, heinously, fiercely which is the destruction not only of human rights but also human & humanity unlimitedly. The violations of human rights in India are untold, unexpressed & which also beyond the narrations due to their unlimited seriousness and unbearable or intolerable sorrows & pains of human. There is not standard and instrument is available for the measurement of the aforesaid unlimited & irreparable violations of human rights in spite of the existence of the Enforcement system of human rights in India. With relation to this, it can not be denied from the protection, preservation & development of human rights in the existence of Enforcement system of human rights. All the aforesaid are subject to the justified & required exceptions according to time, circumstances, necessities and other related things in India. In this regard, now the prime question is before us that who is/are the liable or responsible or accountable and answerable for the hereinbefore mentioned violations of human rights in India? Who will answer of the questions?

In this connection, the Enforcement system of human rights is playing the most significant, important and greatest role for the implementation of human rights in India. The human rights are protected, preserved and developed by the means of its Enforcement system & through the procedure of the implementation; the process of the implementation is conducted by the Enforcement system as a medium. In this respect, it pertains to reiterate that the human rights as fundamental rights have been mentioned under the Part -03 and as the directive principles of the states policy under the part -4 of the Constitution of India and under section 2(1)(d)[1] which reveals as meaning of human rights that the rights mentioned in the both International covenants & enforceable by the Courts in India. This chapter captioned or titled as-The Enforcement System of Human Rights in India’is with respect to theEnforcement System of Human Rights as direct & indirect but this research is limited to only direct enforcement system of human rights in India which includes the Supreme Court of India as the highest & guaranteed enforcement system of human or fundamental rights (Under article 32), High Court (s) (Under article 226) of the Constitution, the National Human Rights Commission (N.H.R.C.) & 25+1(Jointly Andhra Pradesh & Telangana) =26 existing State Human Rights Commissions (S.H.R.C.s) of India, the remaining States or Union Territories did not constitute theS.H.R.C.s under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. The required data of 24 High Courts of Indiahas been contained in this chapterexcept the Kerala High Court because the required data is not available on the National Judicial data gridin this regard.With regard to this, 25th High Court has been newly established in the Telangana separately from the Andhra Pradesh & has been started the functions from 01 January, 2019 in Amravati consisting with the one Chief Justice & 15 other Judges; Hon’ble Justice T.B. Radha Krishnan was appointed as theChief justice of the High Court on 01 January, 2019 & 12 other Judgers took the oath[2] consequently now there are 25High Courts in India This chapter also reveals the meaning, kinds of the Enforcement system of human rights, the conception of time bound delivery of justice, data regarding the shortage of judges, pendency of the cases, leading, landmark, recent and required case laws and other connected and relevant things. It also shows the conditions of the human rights & its Enforcement system in India.Keeping in the specific view of all heretofore contained, the main question is before us that what is Enforcement system? The meaning or definition ofthe Enforcement system is as follows:-

What is Enforcement system:- 

In this regard, the Constitution of India does not furnish the definition of the Enforcement system of Human rights.

With this relation, the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993 does also not confer the definition of the Enforcement system of Human rights.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 1966 and the International Covenant on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights, 1966 are also salient with regard to the definition (s) of Enforcement system of Human rights.

In respect of above said, the General Clauses Act 1897 does not provide the definition (s) of Enforcement system of Human rights.

In the light of all placed hereinbefore, the meaning or definition of the Enforcement system may be as:-

Enforce: - To give force or effect to (a Law, etc.); to compel obedience to.[3]

Enforcement: - The act or process of compelling compliance with a Law, mandate or command.[4]

System: - a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method.[11]

System: - a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular.[12]

In the aforesaid view of, it can be said that Enforcement system means a compelling procedure with the compliance of Law, organizing something with a specific or systematic way or method to do something or not to do something on the basis of principles or processes or law. 

To summarize it comes as under that the body or institution or officer or authority or agency or person or any other similar things who or which has the power or authority to compel someone with a systematic way or method to do something or not to do something on the basis of Law; keeping in view of consequences of the same that is the Enforcement system.
