Justiciability of ESC Rights—the Indian Experience

Introduction

Part III of the Indian Constitution guarantees “fundamental rights” to all citizens, and some of these, like the right to life (art. 21) and the right to equality (art.14), to all persons.� The fun�damental rights are enforceable in the High Courts and the Supreme Court.� In writ petitions before these courts, a person or a citizen can seek enforcement of� fundamental rights and redress for their breach.� Judicial review of executive action as well as of legislation and judicial and quasi-judicial orders is recognized as part of the “basic structure” of the Constitution which cannot be taken away even by an amendment to the Constitution.The Supreme Court has the final word on the interpretation of the Constitution, and its orders, being law, are binding and enforceable by all authorities—executive, legislative and judicial.
