Rights in Review is a CLPR publication which analyses 15 key judgements ruled by the Supreme Court in 2014. This publication is aimed at acquainting the reader with various aspects of fundamental rights protection and the relevance and impact of the decisions in public life. The focus among the decisions in 2014 was the introduction of several procedural safeguards regarding death penalty review and mercy petitions by the Court. Apart from this, the Court also ruled on the issue of state regulation of religious and traditional practices and highlighted the secular freedom to adopt.

This Report is based on an in-depth analysis of the judgments delivered by these special fast-track courts from the date of their establishment to December 2014 to examine how effective these courts have been in terms of both speeds of disposal and in securing substantive justice.
