लैंगिक न्याय के संवैधानिक परिप्रेक्ष्य

1. “संवैधानिक प्रावधान”:

• “अनुच्छेद 15(1)”: यह प्रावधान लिंग के आधार पर भेदभाव की मनाही करता है। इसके तहत, राज्य किसी व्यक्ति को धर्म, जाति, नस्ल, लिंग या जन्म स्थान के आधार पर भेदभाव नहीं कर सकता है, जिससे महिलाओं को समान अवसर प्रदान किया जा सके।
• “अनुच्छेद 21”: जीवन और व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता का अधिकार, जिसे सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने व्यापक रूप से व्याखित किया है। इसमें महिला के सम्मान और सुरक्षा का अधिकार शामिल है, जो लैंगिक हिंसा और उत्पीड़न से संरक्षण प्रदान करता है।
• “अनुच्छेद 46”: अनुसूचित जातियों, अनुसूचित जनजातियों और अन्य कमजोर वर्गों के आर्थिक और शैक्षिक हितों की रक्षा करने का प्रावधान है, जिसमें महिलाएं भी शामिल हैं। यह महिलाओं के समावेशी विकास की दिशा में कार्य करता है।
• “अनुच्छेद 243D(3)”: यह स्थानीय निकायों में महिलाओं के लिए आरक्षित सीटों की बात करता है, जिससे स्थानीय शासन में उनकी सक्रिय भागीदारी सुनिश्चित होती है।

2. “प्रासंगिक निर्णय विधियाँ”:

• “विशाखा बनाम राजस्थान राज्य (1997)”: सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कार्यस्थल पर यौन उत्पीड़न के खिलाफ दिशानिर्देश जारी किए। यह निर्णय अनुच्छेद 15 और 21 के अंतर्गत महिलाओं के खिलाफ यौन उत्पीड़न को लैंगिक न्याय के मुद्दे के रूप में मानता है।
• “ललित कुमार शर्मा बनाम उत्तर प्रदेश राज्य (2017)”: सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने निर्णय दिया कि धारा 125 सीआरपीसी के तहत पत्नी को maintenance का अधिकार है, यदि उसे भेदभावपूर्ण आधार पर अस्वीकार किया जाता है, तो यह संवैधानिक उल्लंघन है।
• “गिता हरिहरन बनाम रिज़र्व बैंक ऑफ इंडिया (1999)”: इस निर्णय में सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने यह स्पष्ट किया कि लिंग आधारित भेदभाव संविधान के समानता के सिद्धांत के खिलाफ है और दोनों माता-पिता के पास समान अधिकार होने चाहिए।

निष्कर्ष:

भारतीय संविधान लैंगिक न्याय की दिशा में महत्वपूर्ण प्रावधान प्रदान करता है। इन संवैधानिक प्रावधानों और निर्णय विधियों के माध्यम से, न्यायपालिका ने लैंगिक समानता की दिशा में महत्वपूर्ण कदम उठाए हैं, जिससे समाज में महिलाओं के अधिकारों और सम्मान की सुरक्षा को सुनिश्चित किया जा सके।

• “उन्नति और विस्तार”: भारत का संविधान जीने के अधिकार को अत्यधिक गतिशील तरीके से समझता है। यह अधिकार मूल रूप से जीवन और व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता के संरक्षण की गारंटी प्रदान करता है, लेकिन इसके दायरे में निरंतर विस्तार हो रहा है।
• “प्रमुख निर्णय”:
  • “केशवानंद भारती केस (1973)”: सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने निर्णय दिया कि जीने का अधिकार केवल शारीरिक अस्तित्व तक सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि इसमें जीवन की गुणवत्ता भी शामिल है।
  • “नलसार यूनिवर्सिटी केस (2005)”: कोर्ट ने शिक्षा को जीने के अधिकार का हिस्सा माना, यह मानते हुए कि शिक्षा का अधिकार जीवन की गुणवत्ता में सुधार करता है।

**2. “व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता (Article 19):

• “स्वतंत्रता का विस्तार”: संविधान के अनुच्छेद 19 ने व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता के अधिकार को आधारभूत बनाया है, जो विभिन्न प्रकार की स्वतंत्रताओं जैसे बोलने की स्वतंत्रता, अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता, और आंदोलन की स्वतंत्रता को सुरक्षित करता है।
• “प्रमुख निर्णय”:
  • “मणका गांधी केस (1978)”: इस निर्णय में सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा कि संविधान की स्वतंत्रता की अधिकार केवल सरकारी हस्तक्षेप से ही नहीं बल्कि समाज की अन्य बाधाओं से भी मुक्त होनी चाहिए।
  • “शिवकुमार यादव केस (2021)”: कोर्ट ने कहा कि निजता का अधिकार भी व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता का हिस्सा है, जिसे निजता के उल्लंघन से सुरक्षा दी जानी चाहिए।

निष्कर्ष:

भारत का संविधान, अपने गतिशील दृष्टिकोण के माध्यम से, जीवन के अधिकार और व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता के दायरे में निरंतर विस्तार कर रहा है। यह संविधान प्रगतिशील समाज की आवश्यकताओं के अनुसार अद्यतित रहता है, और इसके द्वारा प्रदान किए गए अधिकारों की व्याख्या और संरक्षण में न्यायालयों की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका है।
