    The document discusses the rule of law in India and its constitution. It notes that the concept of rule of law can be traced to ancient Hindu scriptures and identifies its key elements as the abhorrence of arbitrary power, equality before the law, a formal rational court system, and judicial independence and separation of powers. It examines some important court cases that have upheld the rule of law in India like Shankar Prasad v. Union of India and Keshavanand Bharti v. State of Kerala. However, it also acknowledges that despite its focus on human dignity, significant human rights abuses still occur, such as custodial violence where injuries are not properly documented.
