The Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai on Wednesday (September 3, 2025) described human dignity as the “soul of the Constitution” which sources and binds together core values like personal liberty, freedom to choose, equality and fraternity.
The Supreme Court has championed the right to dignity through multiple judgments to better the lives of women, prisoners, ordinary workers, persons with disabilities, and other marginalised and minority groups over the decades, the Chief Justice said.
