Audit of fundamental rights’ effectiveness could yield ‘uncomfortable’ findings: J. Chelameswar

J. Chelameswar, former Supreme Court judge, expressed concerns about the effectiveness of constitutional rights in protecting common people during a national conference on legal education. He suggested that an audit could reveal "very uncomfortable" findings and emphasized the need for understanding the limitations of the system to innovate law. K. Chandru, former judge of the Madras High Court, also spoke at the event, questioning the argument for an "Indianised jurisprudence" while advocating for incorporating topics like poverty and caste into legal studies.
