This motion debates whether the Supreme Court of India's landmark constitutional judgments of 2025 have broadened or curtailed the scope of fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
Aaj ki debate ka motion hai: 'Kya Supreme Court ke 2025 ke Constitutional Rulings se Fundamental Rights ka daayra badhna chahiye, ya simat-na chahiye?' — yeh ek deeply important constitutional sawaal hai jo har naagrik ko seedha prabhavit karta hai. Main, Nyaya, aaj ke is legal awareness debate mein neutral moderator hoon — yahan koi verdict nahi sunaya jaayega, sirf principles aur perspectives saamne aayenge. Toh Counsel Aarav, aap pehle apna paksh rakhiye — floor aapka hai.
My lord, main aaj is motion ke paksh mein yeh sthaapit karna chahta hoon ki Supreme Court ke 2025 ke constitutional rulings ko Fundamental Rights ka VISTAR karna chahiye — sankuchit nahi. Article 13 spasht kehta hai ki State ka koi bhi aisa kaanoon jo Fundamental Rights se asangat ho, shoonya hai — yeh judicial review ki neenv hai, aur Supreme Court ka yeh daawitv banta hai ki woh is neenv ko aur mazboot kare. Article 32 — jo Constitution ki 'heart and soul' hai — swayam ek Fundamental Right hai, aur agar Supreme Court apne rulings ke zariye rights ko sankochain karta hai, to woh usi adhikar ko kamzor karta hai jis par nagarikon ka bharosa tika hai.

My lord, Aarav sahab ne bahut jazbaati baat ki — lekin jazba aur jurisprudence alag hote hain. Article 13 ke tahat yeh sthaapit hai ki koi bhi law jo fundamental rights ke vipaksh mein ho, void hai — yani Constitution ne already ek robust safeguard rakha hua hai. Agar hum Supreme Court ko 2025 mein har naye social demand par rights 'expand' karne ki khuli chhoot de dein, to yeh judicial overreach hoga, jo separation of powers ko undermine karega aur Article 141 ke binding precedent ko unpredictable bana dega.

My lord, vipaksh kehta hai ki fundamental rights ko limit karna chahiye — lekin yeh seedha Article 32 ke khilaf hai, jo Constitution ka 'heart and soul' hai aur khud ek fundamental right hai. Article 13 spasht kehta hai ki koi bhi law jo fundamental rights ke viruddh ho, void hai — toh Supreme Court ka kaam rights ko sankuchit karna nahi, balki unhe aur prasthapit karna hai. 2025 ke rulings mein agar Court rights ka vistar karti hai, to woh sirf apne constitutional mandate ko poora karti hai.

My lord, paksh ne jo argument diya hai — ki expansion hi raasta hai — woh fundamentally incomplete hai. Article 13 spasht kehta hai ki rights ka enforcement tab meaningful hota hai jab judicial review disciplined ho, not expansive for its own sake; har woh 'expansion' jo established constitutional framework se bahar jaaye, woh rights ko dilute karta hai, strengthen nahi. Aur Article 141 ke tehat Supreme Court ke rulings sabhi courts par binding hain — isliye 2025 mein agar Court bina restraint ke rights expand kare, toh precedent ka ek aisa avalanche aayega jo lower courts ke liye manageble nahi hoga, aur ultimately common citizen ko hi nuksan hoga.

Aaj ki debate ka motion tha: 'Should Supreme Court's 2025 Constitutional Rulings Expand or Limit Fundamental Rights?' — ek taraf ka kehna tha ki Article 32 aur Article 13 ke tehat Supreme Court ko fundamental rights ka daaira aur broader karna chahiye, taaki justice har nagarik tak pahunche; doosri taraf ka kehna tha ki judicial expansion ki bhi ek seema hoti hai, aur Article 141 ke under binding precedent mein stability zaroori hai. Nyaya ki balanced legal suggestion yeh hai: Supreme Court ko Article 32 ki 'heart and soul' bhaavna ko zinda rakhte hue fundamental rights ka purposive interpretation karna chahiye, lekin saath hi Article 141 ke tehat consistency aur predictability ka bhi dhyan rakhna chahiye — expansion aur limitation dono ka balance hi sahi constitutional jurisprudence hai. Ab aap — citizens — is debate ko rate karein aur apna view rakhein!
