given a special status. They are called fundamental rights.

Judiciary & BureaucracyBureaucracy means government by central

administration .Judiciary aims in protecting the society, the

human values & the spirit of the constitution. Judiciary & executive are the offspring's. Bureaucracy to serve the legislature .

QUALITIES OF CORRUPTION * Selfishness * Human greed * Craze to achieve more * Than individual rights * Corrupt practices

RESULT

The society has made the people responsible to mind the bureaucracy & judiciary corrupt.

Corruption has reached the higher level, we cannot accept the desired services from them to the constitution & rumors of the law.

THERE IS GREAT SENSE IN THE PHASE OF CONSTITUTIONEvery one has to attach point consideration to one’s

duties more than the undaunted spirit of striving to enforce the individual rights.

one goes hungry to bed.You don’t need just equal right to vote . Every citizen
