I also understood that enforcement of fundamental rights under Article 32 of the Constitution in selective matters still far from its object, purpose, meaning, ambit and scope. Resultantly, Politics-Crime-Nexus is developed in every part of the Country. As such I invented, innovated, evolved and referred suggestions in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 151 of 1996 before Supreme Court of India, the possible RULES under sub-clause (c) clause (1) of Article 145 of the Constitution of India, to define “appropriate proceedings” for Civil Relief in respect of infringement of any of the fundamental Rights, without any extra burden of the workload upon the Supreme Court. If these Rules could have been accepted, then present procedure of preliminary hearing to consider admissibility of the Petition should have been repealed. Under my suggestion, after filing, service of copy of Writ Petition to each Respondent would have been a must. Thereafter, in any case, if matter is put before a Bench of Supreme Court for hearing and Court satisfied that even after filing and service of the copy of the Writ Petition, fundamental rights are not restored it could have been trouble some for the Head of such Department to suffer consequences thereof. Under the suggested Rules, in maximum matters, without putting the Petition before a Bench for hearing, infringement of the fundamental rights could have been removed, making bureaucracy more accountable. Here, I am reproducing my suggestions from the aforesaid Writ Petition for kind considerations of the citizen, litigants and more particularly Advocates and other legal luminaries.
