Explanation of the term Justice: The term justice is derived from the Latin word 'Just' which means a bond. Various people in a society are bound together by certain rights and duties. According to Barker,"Joining and fitting between man and man (or man and woman) in an organised system of human relations' is Justice. According to another view“the idea of justice can mark a rightful balance in a situation where two or more parts or principles are in conflict."

Different conceptions of Justice:

(i) Social Justice: Social Justice lies in providing all facilities for the development of personality of everyone and fulfil his or her social needs. Social justice also demands the support of society to the helpless, disabled and all those who are are not in a position to acquire means for themselves. They should be helped by the state by application of protective discrimination and distributive justice. As a matter of fact social justice has become the first and foremost objective of the welfare states.

(ii) Political Dimension of Justice: Political justice implies the participation of the people in the affairs of the state and the share in the governance of the country. In a democracy the system of adult franchise symbolizes political justice. Equal opportunity to public appointments, right to contest elections for public office, right to freedom of expression and speech to form associations and unions and the right to criticize government are the foundations of political justice.

(iii) Economic Dimensions of Justice: According to M.C. Setalvad,"Economic justice is the provision of equal opportunities to the citizens to acquire wealth and use it for their living. It implies that those who are disabled or old, and unemployed and therefore, not in a position to acquire wealth should be helped by the society to live."

According to Gandhiji, the equal distribution is essential to establish the economic justice in society.

Conclusion: The concept of justice is explained by Barker as a natural outcome of freedom or liberty and equality. In other words, logical consequence of freedom is equality and logical outcome of equality is justice. Thus economic equality results in economic justice. Freedom and equality are two aspects of justice. The ultimate objective of both freedom and equality is justice. Today it is universally recognised that for the proper development of personality freedom is as much necessary as equality before law, equal protection of law, and I, economic and political justice.
