National Conference on Right to Justice in India | Saraswathy Law College

About Saraswathy Law College

The rapid growth of technology in almost all countries has led to the need for extending technical and legal education to the younger generation. Realizing the importance of legal education, the Dr. Ramadoss Educational Trust was established on a sprawling campus as a realization of the great dream of Dr. Ayya, a remarkable thinker, veteran social reformer, astute statesman, valiant fighter of Tamil culture, unassailable moralist, and tireless crusader for social justice, popularly known as "The Second Periyar." Since its establishment in 2000, the trust has been committed to empowering youth, particularly those from rural areas, by providing qualitative and standardized education.

After a long legal battle starting in 2008, Saraswathy Law College was successfully established in 2018 with the prime objective of offering high-quality and world-class legal education to aspiring students, especially from rural and disadvantaged backgrounds in and around Tindivanam, Tamil Nadu. The college offers three-year LL.B. and five-year B.A., LL.B. degree courses and is approved by the Bar Council of India, New Delhi, and affiliated with the Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, Chennai.

About the Conference

In India, the current system of access to justice through courts is founded on adversarial legalism. In most common-law nations, the adversarial system of law is used, which is defined by the state's neutrality and the parties' responsibility for initiating and conducting litigation, except for criminal cases when the state initiates the proceedings. This system of access to justice is a British legacy that was designed by the British government to exploit the Indian people.

After India's independence, when the Constitution of India was adopted, an attempt was made to create parity of power in dispute resolution methods, and the manner of access to justice was revised and adjusted. The preamble of the Indian Constitution pledges to guarantee social, economic, and political equality to the people. Furthermore, Article 14 of the Indian Constitution states: "Equality Before the Law — The state must not deny to any person within the territory of India equality before the law and equal protection of the laws." The term "equal protection of the laws" signifies two things: first, that everyone has the right to be protected under all applicable laws, and second, that everyone in Indian territory is equally entitled to such safekeeping.

To outline the relationship between the concept of justice and the Constitution in India, examine the discourse on justice and equity, especially in relation to the Indian Constitution. Look into legal theory and its applicability on law-making and policy in order to attain the ideal of a just and fair legal system based upon rights. Observe the impact of law, morality, and justice on our everyday lives.
