“Principles of Natural Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity are the pillars upon which our Democratic Republic stands. These principles are not mere words. They are the guiding stars that illuminate the path towards a just and equitable society. Embedded within the Constitution, we find Part 3 that guarantees the fundamental rights of our citizens. They serve as the bedrock of democracy ensuring that individual freedom is protected and cherished. However, it is crucial to recognise that these rights do not exist in isolation.
