During his talk, Justice Misra explained how independence in India and the adoption of the Constitution created the concept of the “citizen” and the elimination of the concept of “subject” – putting the rulers and the ruled on an equal footing. “The Indian constitution is an organic document and must therefore reap and grow on the bedrock of constitutional morality” he added. Through his lecture he talked about how the courts, in particular the Chief Justice Supreme Court of India, made rulings on the constitution over the decades following independence.

Justice Misra also said it is the court’s responsibility to act as a sentinel in upholding constitutional morals and ethics, giving the example of his recent landmark ruling to decriminalise homosexuality in India – ending a law that dated back to the colonial era. In reaching that decision, the Supreme Court overruled a previous judgement that only a small number of people were exercising their rights. However, as he explained to the assembled law students and staff, “it’s not the number that determines the right. A right permissible under the Constitution is a right that has to be respected.”
