supreme court of india

The Supreme Court of India came into existence on 28th January 1950 at N.Delhi. The Supreme Court is the guardian of the Constitution. But for a few aberrations, the Supreme Court has performed its constitutional obligations honorably  It has given landmark judgments upholding individual liberty,freedom of expression,secularism,rule of law,women empowerment, worker's rights,positive discrimination and accountability to the Constitution. Except for a short period in its history,The Supreme Court has been giving a liberal and progressive interpretation to the Constitution! The Preamble to the Constitution has been its pole star!
By and large the Judges and lawyers of the Supreme Court have been persons of high integrity and character. If India is still a vibrant democracy,it is in no small measure due to the high standards set by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court judgments are cited in many countries of the world.
The Supreme Court has time and again reiterated that the Indian Constitution is a dynamic and evolving one with the times. The Supreme Court has frowned upon arbitrariness,abuse of power,corruption,preventive detention and gender violence.
In the present period of transition, the Supreme Court of India is destined to play a crucial role!
