Reported in: 2005(1)ALT740

ORDERL. Narasimha Reddy, J.1. In a way and in a sense, this writ petition demonstrates the extent to which the institutions of ancient origin as well as the concept of public interest litigation have become vulnerable. It also indicates the abyssal levels, to which the norms of journalism have drifted.2. The petitioner claims to be a registered organization, with an object of espousing the causes of labourers. It filed the writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents, viz. the authorities of Labour and Police Departments, to take immediate action in respect of criminal cases filed against Suryalaxmi Cotton Spinning Mill, Mahaboobnagar, and violation of labour laws therein after calling for records. The basis or inspiration for filing this writ petition is said to be the items of news, published in various newspapers, during the months of November and December, 2004.3. Two workers of the mill, referred to above, are said to have died in the year 1998. Investigation into the same...

After recording the evidence of the respondent and the ninth revision petitioner and after taking into consideration the documents produced by them, the Executing Court overruled the objections of the revision petitioners and directed their arrest. Hence, this revision contending that since the order dated 04-10-1988 in C.M.P.No.12983 of 1988 and C.M.P.15196 of 1988 is not a decree within the meaning of Sec...

B. Sudershan Reddy, J.1. It i universally agreed amongst the Democratic States that 'Rule of Law' is a vital element in a free democracy. This principle is enshrined in our Constitution and jealously guarded by the Courts. The very concept of 'Rule of Law' encompasses a just legal system and a just legal system has rules, and principles that are understood by those applying them. The rules apply to all persons. No one should be above the law, and all people should be treated equally as Lord Denning recalled Thomas Fuller's words 'Be you never so high, the law is above you'.Professor Dicey, observed:'When we speak of the 'rule of law' as a characteristic of our country, not only that with us no man is above the law but that every man, whatever be his rank or condition, is subject to the ordinary law of the realm and amenable to the jurisdiction of the ordinary Tribunals. In England the idea of legal equality, or the universal subjection of all classes to one law administered by the ordi...
