["In the center of the counterrevolution, stood the judiciary."
(Ref.: 'Behemoth, The Structure and Practice of National Socialism:1933-1944' by Franz Neumann at <https://www.academia.edu/33203383/NEWMAN_BEHEMOTH_THE_STRUCTURE_AND_PRACTICE_OF_NATIONAL_SOCIALISM?auto=download>.)
<<[Dr. Ambedkar, the Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee and the Law Minister, had asserted that] “If I was asked to name any particular article in this Constitution as the most important — an article without which this Constitution would be a nullity — I could not refer to any other article except this one (i.e. article 25, converted into 32). *It is the very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of it* [emphasis added].”>>
(Ref.: <https://thewire.in/rights/supreme-court-article-32-ambedkar-arnab-goswami>.)
A project underway to strip the Constitution of its very soul!?
<<Justice Shah told the Wire that whilst the Supreme Court was right to grant bail to Arnab Goswami because “personal liberty is paramount”, he was dismayed that many other more important and weighty matters pending before the court keep getting repeatedly postponed whilst Arnab Goswami was heard out of turn and given precedence. Amongst the matters pending which have not got the Supreme Court’s attention as yet Justice Shah mentioned Article 370, the Citizenship Amendment Act, concerns about electoral fraud, migrant workers, the denial of internet to Jammu and Kashmir, the prosecution of intellectuals and several habeas corpus petitions.
Speaking about Chief Justice S.A. Bobde’s comment that he wants to discourage petitions under Article 32, Justice Shah said he is “really surprised” by this. Justice Shah said Article 32 “is a corner stone of democracy”. He said “to discourage its use is strange”.>>]
