Abstract
In this illuminating piece, learned Supreme Court Judge, Justice S.B. Sinha examines the diversity of constitutional challenges facing the Supreme Court in the post-liberalization era. While acknowledging the importance of adhering to the constitutional design of separation of powers, Justice Sinha justifies and elucidates the need for a pro-active judiciary to ensure good governance. He provides an analytical elaboration on the legal dimensions of globalization by critically looking at the judicial approach towards "emerging actors" like multinational corporations. He further illustrates on the impact and influence of globalization on crucial essential public services and the apex court's response to the same. Thus, Justice Sinha argues for a more rights-based approach towards interpreting the Constitution in order to fully realize the social, democratic and human values enshrined therein.
