Hypocrisy in Constitution:
The preamble of Indian constitution to establish a ‘Sovereign, Secular, Socialistic, Democratic Republic’. After1991 economic reforms, the socialistic goals of the constitution have taken a back rest if not scarified. There are provisions in constitution which do not have punitive enforcement measures. eg. Articl 18, Abolition of titles, Fundemental duties,etc. The fundamental duties prescribe numerous duties to a citizen. The law is silent on the punishment if their duties are not followed performed.
The height of Indian contradiction and deceit can be seen in article 105. The 44th Constitutional Amendment Act omitted the reference to British house of Commons in the provisions pertaining to Parliamentary privileges albeit without any real change in the actual meaning.
Legal hypocrisy in India:-
The judiciary is one of the most respected institution in Indian democracy. It has been the watchdog of Indian democracy and guarantor of rights. However the judiciary has used innovative interpretations such as basic structure doctrine to achieve its noble goals.
The judiciary has read "consultation as concurrence" in order to safeguard itself from executive overreach and protect judicial independence.
The judiciary had to read “due procedure of low” in article 21 as “due process” in order to safeguard the right of individuals and widen the ambit of personal liberty.
Hypocrisy in Institutions:
Indira Gandhi was criticized for calling for a committed judiciary and bureaucracy. But wherever there is a regime charge, post-elections the entire bureaucratic leadership is shuffled. The state of officer in some institutions have been so poor that the Supreme Court had called the CBI as a “caged parrot speaking in the master voice”. The pace of various cases pending with the CBI have depended upon the prevailing political climate.
