Item
Identifier: UB-005-01-06-127
Abstract

Item
Identifier: UB-005-01-06-133

“A Simple Stark Claim”, 12 May 2019
Item
Identifier: UB-005-01-06-101
Abstract
This piece deals with the fundamental claim to "dignity" by the most marginalized sections of society.

He examines how the state often complicates this claim through bureaucratic hurdles and "law-in-books." The synopsis highlights Baxi’s plea for the judiciary to listen to the "voice of suffering." He posits that the truest measure of a legal system is how...
