RULE OF LAW: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN USA, U.K AND INDIA (By- Anjana Pradeep)
I am a staunch believer of the
fact that the judiciary of the three countries have contributed
significantly to the development of the concept of rule of law. The judiciary
has consistently upheld this concept. I also believe it has played an important
role in the development of the judiciary and society in all three countries,
but more efficient application of the rule of law in the judicial process is
required. The framers of India's and the United States' constitutions
recognised the importance of the rule of law in a democratic setting and
included provisions for it in their respective constitutions. In its
government, the United Kingdom has also followed the rule of law. The judicial
systems of all three countries address the rule of law and have issued numerous
landmark decisions based on the provisions of the rule of law. Separation of
powers is observed in all three countries.
