The Constitution of IndiaIndia Bharat Varsha (Jambu Dvipa) is the name of this land mass. The people of this land are Sanatan Dharmin and they always defeated invaders. Indra (10000 yrs) was the oldest deified King of this land. Manu's jurisprudence enlitened this land. Vedas have been the civilizational literature of this land. Guiding principles of this land are : सत्यं वद । धर्मं चर । स्वाध्यायान्मा प्रमदः । Read more does not lack behind and this document of vision does provide for affording protection to the people of the country. The Constitution which is given by the people to themselves, has to be, like human life, a living document. The Constitution makers were people of great vision and made earnest efforts to fathom every aspect of human life and provided securities and protections therein. Since human life many a times spring surprises and the human conduct and behaviour being unpredictable, unforeseen future happenings could not thus be adequately dealt with in the Constitution. The rights which are determined by the Constitution and Statute, and protections which are made available to the people of country find their expression in the said documents. They are eloquent and clear in their tune and tenor. As already stated all the future happenings could not be visualized and express provisions made for them. The human rights were determined and consequently expressed in Constitution. Beneath the surface, unforeseen rights, are born from the bossom of ‘express constitutional rights’ which may be termed as “Implied Constitutional Rights”. The implied rights of which the Constitution is source have to be culled out there-from by judicial engineering. The “implied constitutional rights” would be, thus, those which would synchronize with the express rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
