Interpreting Ambedkar's Concept of "Constitutional Morality" Vis a Vis the Supreme Court's Jurisprudence on the Same

Abstract

The Constitution of India provides for division of power. The role of the legislature is to make laws, the role of the executive is to implement those laws and the role of the judiciary is to interpret the framed laws by the legislature. In recent times, Constitutional morality has become an important tool used for judicial activism frequently. This study will first analyse the interpretation given by Dr. Bhim Ram Ambedkar and thereafter, consequently the study will reflect on major landmark judgments which acted as constitutional moment in the history of the interpretation of constitutional morality. It will parallelly compare the meaning of the term by Dr. Ambedkar and Apex Court. In the very recent case of Suprio vs Union of India, the concept of Constitutional Morality was again discussed by the Honourable Supreme Court, by a Constitutional Bench. In the end, the study will conclude by interpreting the analysis of judgments and some suggestions to solve the problem as portrayed by the hypothesis.
