Experts discuss salient features of Indian Constitution

LUCKNOW : A conference on ‘Constitution-A Comparative Viewpoint’ was organised in judge’s auditorium of the Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court here on Monday in which experts explained in detail about the salient features of the Constitution.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof M P Singh, National Law School, Delhi, explained in detail the different features of the Constitution of India.

In order to make his point, Prof Singh also cited a statement of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, architect of the Indian Constitution, and stressed that the Constitution would work well only if people implementing it were good.

Prof Singh said that no organ of the state should be so strong that it should deprive people of their rights.

Citing the Magna Carta, he said that it was only after this charter that people started raising voice for liberty and freedom in the world.

The Manga Carta was a document signed by King John after negotiations with his barons and their French and Scots allies at Runnymede, Surrey, England in 1215. Prof Singh also exalted the Constitution, saying that one of its key features was that it connected with every person.

Senior judge of the Lucknow high court, Justice Vikram Nath also hailed the Constitution.

Earlier, Justice D K Upadhyay of Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court welcomed the chief guest.

Additional advocate general K P Tripathi, government advocate Vimal Srivastava , chief standing counsel S P Singh and a large number of judges and lawyers were present on the occasion.
