Who gets to decide when that liability ends?

Jigyasa Verma, University of Allahabad ABSTRACT Indian Constitution’s deliberately broad, open‐textured language has enabled the Supreme Court to act as a dynamic interpreter rather than a mechanical umpire, progressively expanding and concretising fundamental rights and structural principles.
