STATEMENT OF FACTS
For the sake of brevity and convenience of the Hon’ble Court, the facts of the present case
are stated hereunder:-
BACKGROUND
1. Indriyana is a developing democratic country in the Asian Continent. It is the second-most
populous country in the world. It consists of 28 States and 9 Union Territories. The
diversity in cultural aspects like religion, language, traditions etc. is truly a remarkable
feature.
2. Taking inspiration from the Constitutions of the major democracies of the world, the
Constitution of Indriyana was wisely drafted by the members of its Constituent Assembly.
Democracy, Equality and Secularism are the essence of the Constitution. It encompasses
the values of Human Dignity and Equality. It guarantees to its citizens certain Fundamental
Rights - the scope of which is considerably enlarged by the dynamic judgments of the
Supreme Court of Indriyana.
3. In Indriyana, the majority of legal orders are built on a hierarchical system of legal actions,
with the Constitution at the top. A State's laws and other legal actions must be consistent
with Constitutional ideals. According to the Constitution of Indriyana, 1950, the State has
specific responsibilities towards its citizens, including but not limited to the protection of
basic rights, and the Supreme Court of Indriyana serves as a right preserver. If a statute or
other legal measure established by the State is in conflict with the Fundamental Rights of
the citizens guaranteed under Indriyana Constitution, the Supreme Court, as a guardian,
shall declare it null and void to the extent of inconsistency with the provisions.
