An excursion into the domain of Indian constitutional law would reveal that it has been no stranger to judge-made doctrines. Constitutional silences are often supplied with judicially crafted tests such as 'arbitrariness' test, basic structure doctrine and 'manifest arbitrariness' test in order to aid constitutional interpretation. The concept's strength, rather than its weakness, is the abstraction that underpins it. Concepts such as "reasonability," "arbitrariness," and "manifest arbitrariness" are essentially abstract concepts, into which the judges feed information based on their personal experiences and feeling of political responsibility in order to fulfil the obligation of coherence. The history of these ethereal ideas and their influence on the discourse surrounding constitutional law raises hopes for the effectiveness of constitutional morality as a tool for interpretation. The author has tried to analysis and evaluate the future prospectus of constitutional morality.
