Imagine a person seeking justice from a quasi-judicial body in India, where a member repeatedly denies them fair treatment and makes biased statements. If this member openly acknowledges their bias and even asks the petitioner to tolerate insults against their way of life, despite an existing order against such behaviour, would this constitute a denial of justice and a violation of their right to live with dignity and freedom? If so, could the petitioner seek substantial compensation from the State department responsible for appointing this body?
Best Answer
Yes, this would constitute a denial of justice and a violation of the petitioner’s right to live with dignity and freedom under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. The petitioner could seek substantial compensation from the State department responsible for appointing the body for the harm caused due to the biased and discriminatory conduct of the member.
