EDITORIAL NOTE

The last two years have been immensely difficult, worldwide, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We are glad that the world is recovering gradually. However, the pandemic has ensued global crisis exacerbating deep-seating social inequalities within our societies. Women, low-income households, children and young people, as well as low-skilled, part-time temporary and self-employed workers, all have been disproportionately affected.

Keeping these issues in mind, the Editorial Board presents the 13th Issue of the Indian Journal of Law and Justice. Once again, with the incessant efforts and ‘never-say-die’ spirit of the editorial team, the India Journal of Law and Justice sets its foot in its journey for the second decade.

Keeping in tandem with the objective of the journal of being a multidisciplinary journal, the key focus of this edition ranges from human rights issues of women, women refugees, human trafficking, trans-rights, the criminal justice system to public health management, artificial intelligence and big data in health sector and human gene editing.

    Sabarimala Debate: An Analysis of the Judgment of Indian Young Lawyers Association V. State of Kerala
    (University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Biswas, Sujit Kumar; Baraily, Nivedita
    Religion has always remained one of the most intrinsic elements in an individual’s life. The rights to freedom of religion coupled with the right to equality are the monumental foundations of Indian democracy. When on one hand the Supreme Court was confronted to choose between women’s rights and religious rights, it inclined towards women’s rights in the case of Indian Young Lawyers’ Association v. State of Kerala and others. But was this choice made as a matter of public interest and beneficial to the general mass? This paper not only discusses the ongoing Sabarimala debate, that is, whether or not allowing women of menstruating age is a move towards women empowerment and development but also attempts to bring forth the subsequent reaction after the judgment. This research paper also attempts to comprehend whether such a decision of the Supreme Court contravenes the constitutional mandate of secularism.
