Section C (20 marks)- Analytical question

(Attempt all questions. Each question carries equal marks)

Q.8. Read the paragraph and answer the following questions:

This Writ Petition has been filed for the enforcement of the fundamental rights of working women
under Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India in view of the prevailing climate in which the
violation of these rights is not uncommon. With the increasing awareness and emphasis on gender
justice, there is increase in the effort to guard against such violations; and the resentment towards
incidents of sexual harassment is also increasing. The present petition has been brought as a class
action by certain social activists and NGOs with the aim of focusing attention towards this societal
aberration, and assisting in finding suitable methods for realization of the true concept of 'gender
equality'; and to prevent sexual harassment of working women in all work places through judicial
process, to fill the vacuum in existing law. The immediate cause for the filing of this writ petition is an
incident of alleged brutal gang rape of a social worker in a village of Rajasthan. That incident is the
subject matter of a separate criminal action and no further mention of it, by us, is necessary. The
incident reveals the hazards to which a working woman may be exposed and the depravity to which
sexual harassment can degenerate; and the urgency for safeguards by an alternative mechanism in the
absence of legislative measures. In the absence of legislative measures, the need is to find an effective
alternative mechanism to fulfill this felt and urgent social need.

Each such incident results in violation of the fundamental rights of 'Gender Equality' and the 'Right to
Life and Liberty'. It is clear violation of the rights under Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution.
College of Legal Studies Jan.-May. 2017
One of the logical consequences of such an incident is also the violation of the victim's fundamental
right under Article 19(1)(g) 'to practice any profession or to carry out any occupation, trade or
business'. Such violations, therefore, attract the remedy under Article 32 for the enforcement of these
fundamental rights of women. This class action under Article 32 of the Constitution is for this reason.
A writ of mandamus in such a situation, if it is to be effective, needs to be accompanied by directions
for prevention; as the violation of fundamental rights of this kind is a recurring phenomenon. The
fundamental right to carry on any occupation, trade or profession depends on the availability of a
"safe" working environment. Right to life means life with dignity. The primary responsibility for
ensuring such safety and dignity through suitable legislation, and the creation of a mechanism for its
enforcement, is of the legislature and the executive. When, however, instances of sexual harassment
resulting in violation of fundamental rights of women workers under Articles 14, 19 and 21 are
brought before us for redress under Article 32, an effective redressal requires that some guidelines
should be laid down for the protection of these rights to fill the legislative vacuum.

In the absence of domestic law occupying the field, to formulate effective measures to check the evil
of sexual harassment of working women at all work places, the contents of International Conventions
and norms are significant for the purpose of interpretation of the guarantee of gender equality, right to
work with human dignity in Articles 14, 15 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution and the safeguards
against sexual harassment implicit therein. Any International Convention not inconsistent with the
fundamental rights and in harmony with its spirit must be read into these provisions to enlarge the
meaning and content thereof, to promote the object of the constitutional guarantee. This is implicit
from Article 51(c) and enabling power of the Parliament to enact laws for implementing the
International Conventions and norms by virtue of Article 253 read with Entry 14 of the Union List in
Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. Article 73 also is relevant. It provides that the executive power
of the Union shall extend to the matters with respect to which Parliament has power to make laws. The
executive power of the Union is, therefore, available till the parliament enacts to expressly provide
measures needed to curb the evil. Thus, the power of this Court under Article 32 for enforcement of
the fundamental rights and the executive power of the Union have to meet the challenge to protect the
working women from sexual harassment and to make their fundamental rights meaningful.
Governance of the society by the rule of law mandates this requirement as a logical concomitant of the
constitutional scheme. The exercise performed by the Court in this matter is with this common
perception shared with the learned Solicitor General and other members of the Bar who rendered
valuable assistance in the performance of this difficult task in public interest. The progress made at
each hearing culminated in the formulation of guidelines to which the Union of India gave its consent
through the learned Solicitor General, indicating that these should be the guidelines and norms

College of Legal Studies Jan.-May. 2017

declared by this Court to govern the behaviour of the employers and all others at the work places to
curb this social evil.

Gender equality includes protection from sexual harassment and right to work with dignity, which is a
universally recognized basic human right. The common minimum requirement of this right has
received global acceptance. The International Conventions and norms are, therefore, of great
significance in the formulation of the guidelines to achieve this purpose.

The obligation of this Court under Article 32 of the Constitution for the enforcement of these
fundamental rights in the absence of legislation must be viewed along with the role of judiciary
envisaged in the Beijing Statement of Principles of the Independence of the Judiciary in the
LAWASIA region. These principles were accepted by the Chief Justices of the Asia and the Pacific at
Beijing in 1995 as those representing the minimum standards necessary to be observed in order to
maintain the independence and effective functioning of the judiciary. The objectives of the judiciary
mentioned in the Beijing Statement are:

(a) to ensure that all persons are able to live securely under the Rule of Law;

(b) to promote, within the proper limits of the judicial function, the observance and the
attainment of human rights; and

(c) to administer the law impartially among persons and between persons and the State."

(1) Suggest a suitable title for the above passage and justify the title. [2 Marks]

(2) Write the précis of above paragraph in your own words as plainly as possible. [6 Marks]

(3) Explain the following terms according to their meaning and context: [12 Marks]

(a) remedy under Article 32

(b) gender justice
(c) class action
(d) 'Right to Life and Liberty'
(e) writ of mandamus
(f) legislative vacuum
(g) International Conventions
(h) Seventh Schedule
(i) Rule of Law
(j) human rights
(k) right to work
(l) judicial activism
