SECTION I
Q.1 Answer any Six of the following in two sentences only.
12 marks
1.Which three principles do consist in Dicey's theory of Rule of Law?[2]
Answer
A. V. Dicey, in Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution (1885), gave the Rule of Law three meanings:
- Supremacy of law, or absence of arbitrary power. No man may be punished except for a distinct breach of law established in the ordinary manner before the ordinary courts. Wide discretionary authority in the government is the opposite of the Rule of Law.
- Equality before the law. Every man, whatever his rank or condition, is subject to the ordinary law of the realm and amenable to the jurisdiction of the ordinary tribunals. No official enjoys exemption from the law that governs the citizen.
- The constitution is the result of the ordinary law of the land. In England the general principles of the constitution, such as the right to personal liberty, are the result of judicial decisions in cases brought by private persons, not of a written guarantee.
