Covid-19: Analysing the legal nuances of the lockdown order

Abstract

COVID-19 has posed a serious challenge to countries all over the world taking lives, destroying livelihood, bringing down the economies to the ground. The question now is not how soon it will pass away but how effective will it be dealt with it. Nearly 3/4th of the countries which are affected do not have sufficient preparedness to deal with it. It may be the lacking of a Mitigation Plan, or maybe the lack of an effective health care system, or maybe the lacking of an efficient R&D, or it may also be the lack of an efficient far-sighted Leader. India has been under the shadow of a few of many problems. The government of the country relies on the Laws to bring out a Preventive Mechanism to deal with the outburst of cases and other effects. One of which is the LockDown order which has been held as one of the first, earliest, and strictest in the World. The paper seeks to analyze critically the legal backing of such Lock Down, testing the nuances of it on the Constitutional Touchstone.
