ORDERH.N. Naga Mohan Das, J.1. Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi wrote in the weekly 'Harijan' as under:-'True Democracy cannot be worked by twenty men sitting at the center. It has to be worked from below by the people of every village....''Independence must begin at the bottom. Thus, every village will be a republic or Panchayat having full powers. It follows, therefore, that every village has to be self-sustained and capable of managing its affairs even to the extent of defending itself against the whole world. It will be trained and prepared to perish in the attempt to defend itself against any on slough from without. Thus, ultimately, it is individual who is the unit. This does not exclude dependence on and willing help from neighbours or from the world. It will be free and voluntary play of mutual forces. Such a society is necessarily highly cultured in which every man and woman knows what he or she wants and, what is more, knows that no one should want anything that others can...

ORDER1. C.A. Nos. 3163-64/95. These appeals by special leave arise from the judgment dated January 18, 1995 of the Full Bench of the Kerala High Court in writ appeal Nos. 416 and 187 of 1992. The Division Bench, doubting the correctness of the judgment in Public Service Commission v. Dr. Kanjamma Alex (1981) KLT 24 (subject matter of CA No. 1197/81) had referred the question to the Full Bench. Facts lie in a short compass and are stated as under :2.

B. Sudershan Reddy, J.1. Several of the most devisive moral conflicts that have beset us Indians, in the period since the dawn of independence have been transmuted into constitutional conflicts - conflicts what the Constitution of India forbids - and resolved as such. The most prominent instances include the conflicts over Federalism, Secularism, sex- based discrimination and affirmative action. The conflicts over affirmative action programme occupy a large space.2. The great bulk of constitutional litigation concerns State enactments and nearly all of that litigation purports to be based on a single sentence of Article 14 and, indeed, on one or the other of two pairs of words, 'equality before the law' and 'equal protection of the laws'. If the Constitution is the embodiment of our aspirations, it must have become so very largely because of those two pairs of words. Each is a protection with centuries of history behind it, often dearly bought with the blood and lives of people determi...
