India’s commitment to justice does not end on its limits, Supreme Court Judge Justice Surya Kant said on Friday, the country’s courts have also increased the security of fundamental rights to non -resident Indians in some cases.
Addressing the Indian migrants in Sweden on Friday, Justice Kant said, “The Indian Constitution, when fully felt, is not only a set of rules” but “a moral compass” and “implements to a nation where justice is not a privilege of some people, but a right to all.”
The judiciary, he said, “As one of the major constitutional columns, it plays a central role in translating this vision into reality.”
Justice Kant said that “in India, the courts have served not only as an assistant, but as moral voices – maintaining marginalized rights, protecting freedom, and maintaining the integrity of democratic processes.”
Justice Kant said that “the judiciary has retained values such as secularism, equality and dignity, through a series of decisions and royal interventions, which form the cornerstone of our constitutional identity” and “For migrants, it becomes a source of immense assurance and pride.”
He said, “You can stay far away from India, but you are complicatedly connected to its legal, cultural and emotional clothes. This is especially true when migrant members have to face legal challenges related to property, heritage, marital issues, or mentor. India’s commitment to justice does not end on its boundaries.
Appreciating the members of the diaspora, he said that “in a global world, where identity often becomes blurred and less rigid, it is easy to feel disqualified. Still, Indian migrants have shown the world how it can actually be globally global, while it is a delicate balance.

Justice Kant said that “India and Sweden share a commitment for justice, gender equality, and human dignity – the values inherent in our two national stories. Our legal systems may vary in structure, but not in aspiration. India’s pluralism and social democracy of Sweden are both in the belief that there are relationships with every person. Really people should be formed.”
The Supreme Court judge also said that “Our discovery of freedom and equality is not present in a vacuum. It draws strength from what we are – the values that we take and the culture that shapes us … promises freedom, equality, and fraternity in our constitution, but the fulfillment of that promise depends on the contradictions within us.”
