After reading Somnath Lahiri’s statement (on page 36 NCERT Textbook). We agree with
Lahiri’s views because a police constable vigil over unlawful activities to maintain law
and order into the society. Maximum fundamental rights work under this frameworkonly as if, these are violated and requires remedial order by the court later on. These
rights do not include:
 Right to adequate livelihood
 Equal pay for equal work
 Right to work
 Right against Economic Exploitation
These are substantive to human life and should be incorporated as fundamental rights
of people.
