Nature Of Fundamental Rights

1. Evidence 1: Part III of the Constitution prevents the establishment of authoritarian rule. Inference 1: Therefore, Fundamental Rights act as definitive limitations on the powers of the state's executive and legislative branches.

2. Evidence 2: The state is permitted to impose reasonable restrictions on citizen freedoms. Inference 2: This demonstrates that Fundamental Rights in India are absolute in their operational nature.

3. Evidence 3: Article 14 guarantees equality before the law to all 'persons'. Inference 3: Consequently, foreign corporations and companies can claim this specific fundamental right.

1. Assertion (A): The Fundamental Rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution are entirely absolute and immune from any form of state interference.

2. Reason (R1): The Constitution explicitly prohibits the government from placing any limitations on individual liberties to ensure a government of men, not laws.

3. Reason (R2): The courts are tasked with striking a balance between individual liberty and necessary social control.

1. Statement 1: Advise them they have no recourse, as Part III rights are strictly confined to biological Indian citizens.

2. Statement 2: Advise them they can challenge the law, as certain rights like Article 14 (Equality before law) act as limitations on state power and protect legal entities like corporations.

3. Statement 3: Advise them to ignore the law, as Fundamental Rights ensure the state cannot restrict corporate liberty in any capacity.

1. They serve as constitutional speed-breakers against arbitrary laws crafted by the legislature.

2. The ultimate authority to decide whether a state-imposed restriction is 'reasonable' rests with the Parliament.

3. They are uniquely absolute, preventing the state from ever prioritizing social control over individual freedom.

4. Legal persons, such as registered companies, are eligible to claim a select subset of these rights.
