Law relating to Human Rights (17th Edition)

Law Relating to Human Rights (17th Edition) is a comprehensive and authoritative treatise on the legal framework governing the protection and enforcement of human rights in India. The book examines the constitutional foundation of human rights through fundamental rights and directive principles, along with statutory mechanisms established under the Protection of Human Rights Act.

It provides detailed coverage of the functioning and powers of the National Human Rights Commission and State Human Rights Commissions, as well as remedies available for violations of civil and political rights. The book also discusses India’s obligations under international human rights conventions and their impact on domestic law.

Special emphasis is placed on judicial interpretation of human rights, including landmark decisions on the right to life and liberty, custodial justice, freedom of expression, equality, and protection of vulnerable groups such as women, children, and minorities. By combining constitutional principles, statutory provisions, and case law, this edition presents a holistic view of human rights jurisprudence and its practical application.
