520			_aJurisprudence is the knowledge of law, or more widely expanded, it is the systematised knowledge of any branch of law. The science of law is what is loosely known as jurisprudence. The jurisprudential concept of ethical governance and society is of great significance. It has been the watchword of all major social, economic and political reforms movements. All social thinkers, scholars, jurists, and reformers from Socrates to Mahatma Gandhi have been making supreme endless efforts in quest of ethical governance and society. They wanted to abolish torture, tyranny, tension, injustice and exploitation from governance and society. For this purpose they took the help of the general concept of 'rule of law'. The article seeks to highlight the basic contours of 'rule of law' and its relevance regarding ethical governance and society. A jurisprudential survey of certain leading decisions of the Supreme Court have been made which recognise the right to health, right to shelter, right to education, right to environment and protection and promotion of human rights of women. - Reproduced.
