Dr. Balram Singh vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court emphasized the historical social injustices faced by marginalized communities, particularly manual scavengers, and highlighted the constitutional protections against untouchability, forced labour, and exploitation. The judgment underscores the importance of legislative measures to eradicate such practices and uphold human dignity. The court's reasoning reflects a commitment to social justice and constitutional morality. The case primarily addresses issues related to social discrimination and the state's obligation to eliminate degrading practices.
