Justice means giving each person his due or, in more conventional terms, giving each person his due. Justice and fairness are closely related terms that are often used interchangeably today. However, the two terms also have more distinct meanings.

In jurisprudence and philosophy, justice refers to the theory of what a person deserves and what is the proper proportion of good and evil for him. Justice can be divided into several categories. One of them is distributive justice, where property and other goods are distributed.

Etymologically Nyaya means to connect. That is, this is a special aspect of human relations where human-to-human connection is made. In general, justice refers to fairness or justice. This justice is a moral concept. Which is a kind of idealism. Justice is an absolute value. Where people expect justice.

The issue of justice is discussed in different ways in different spheres of social life. Hence various forms of justice have evolved.

Thus, there are four main dimensions of justice: social justice, economic justice, political justice, and legal justice. All these forms are completely interrelated and interdependent. Justice is real only when it exists in these four dimensions.

Social Justice:

Social justice is an ideological concept. According to this concept – It is said to achieve the overall welfare of the people. According to this concept, a balance will be established between individual rights and social control. This idea favors ending the exploitation of people in society. Equality before the law, equal protection of the law, independence of the judiciary, end of discrimination, etc. prevail in such justice. People can achieve social justice through protests, riots, activism, etc. People can work for social justice by taking up social work, victim advocacy, community development, and other such professions. Social justice is a political and philosophical movement that aims to further redistribute wealth and opportunities. By addressing historical injustice and directing resources to disadvantaged communities, social justice advocates hope to create a more just and equal society.

Economic Justice:

Economic justice is closely related to social justice. According to this idea- Private property should be taken for the public interest. Again the development and role of private ownership have to be controlled. According to Marxists, economic justice can only be established on the basis of the abolition of private property.

Political Justice:

According to the concept of political justice, it refers to the free and consistent participation of the public in the political life of the country. According to this concept –

  • Universal adult suffrage shall be recognized or acknowledged to establish political justice.
  • There will be no discrimination in government jobs. 
  • Equality will be established in politics.

Legal Justice:

According to this concept -

  • Law will be reasonable and justice under law will be easy for all.
  • Law will be for all. The law shall not discriminate. 
  • The law will be equal for all and the rule of law will be established.

The nature of justice in Marxist view:-Marxists speak of economic equality as justice. According to Marxists, without economic equality in society, the issues of equality, rights, freedom, rights - etc. become meaningless. Therefore justice in society can be established only in a communist society free from exploitation. Justice in society can be established only when equality is established in the economic sphere.

According to me, justice is a function of giving freedom to an individual and promoting equality through proper rules. It aims to provide equal rights, opportunities, and benefits to an individual and society in a fair manner.

For example, during a job interview, some interviewers do injustice by looking at the context and relationship for the job, on the other hand, poor people remain without jobs. To stop such atrocities there must be justice in the individual to protect the rights of the individual and provide fair equal opportunities and facilities. Therefore, this paper emphasizes my views on justice and how judges can give freedom to a person.

Finally, although justice is primarily a co-ordinator of social ideals, it varies in different places and in different time contexts because the ideals change in different countries and times. Changes in political systems and philosophies in the modern era have led to the evolution of the concept of equality and paved the way for the establishment of proper equality.
