21. At this stage, I am also reminded of question posed by
Sri Justice P.N.Bhagwati (as he then was) in Khadri and others
Vs. State of Bihar and observations of Justice J S Verma (as he
then was) in Nilabati Behera Vs State of Orissa. Justice Bhagwati
posed this question: Why should the Court not be prepared to
forge new tools and devise new remedies for the purpose of
vindicating the most precious of the precious fundamental
right to life and personal liberty?. Justice Verma said, The
primary source of the public law proceedings stems from the
prerogative writs and the courts have, therefore, to evolve
new tools to give relief in public law by molding it according
to the situation with a view to preserve and protect the Rule
of Law.
