COURSE PLAN

A. LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED Constitutional Law is the basic Law of the Land. The knowledge of the Constitutional Law of our country is must for a law professional. As the Constitutional Law is a very vast subject, for the convenience of Law students Bar Council of India divided it into two parts to be taught in two semesters. First Part of the Constitutional Law covers Citizenship, Fundamental Rights and the available remedial measures for the infringement of Fundamental Rights such as Writ Jurisdiction, Directive Principles of State Policy and its relationship with Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and the related topics. First part basically explains about the individual rights guaranteed to the citizen of India and the Policies of the State in safeguarding the guaranteed rights. Second Part majorly covers the three wings of the Governance in India i.e., executive, legislation and judiciary and their inter-relation, powers and functions of the each wing and other administrative authorities constituted under the Indian Constitution. The basic understanding of the Civics paper in +2 level is required to understand this subject. As the subject is contemporary and relevant in all days of life, the student must develop the knowledge about the present controversies and the contemporary affairs to understand the discussion on contemporary issues raised by faculty in the class. As the separation of powers between three wings is based on the classical theory of different Constitutions in the world, the student should read the structure of different Constitutions existing in the world and their structure. As a last & compulsory resort, every student must read relevant portion Constituent Assembly Debates along with each and every topic given in the syllabi. The subject can be learnt only through interaction which obviously makes the mandatory obligation on each and every student to develop the habit of class room discussion.

B. OBJECTIVES a) To provide understanding about the concept of Constitutional law i.e., constitutionalism, rule of law, separation of powers, citizenship etc., b) To enlighten students about the human rights and fundamental freedoms and their origination and judicial activism behind expansion of the definition of fundamental rights
