Abstract

It is the happiness of the king that is drawn from the happiness of his subjects, and the king's wellbeing is obtained from the welfare of his subjects. He will view as beneficial to him whatever it is that satisfies his subjects, rather than simply considering as worthy of praise whatever it is that satisfies him. "Good governance" as an all-encompassing concept that incorporates all aspects of a nation's governance, including its legal system, economic policies, and regulatory framework, among other things. The government of a state must adhere to the rule of law if it is to sustain good governance. To us, the idea of a rule of law is relatively new. But that's not the case. The Vedas, Upnishadas, Kautilya Arthshahstra, and countless other ancient texts in Indian tradition describe the principles of good administration and the rule of law. Several old texts elaborate on the Rule of Law, even in the Rajdharma notion. The Rule of Law means that everyone, even government officials and those in positions of power, must abide by the law. The Indian Constitution does not include a specific definition of good governance or Rule of Law, nor does it clarify their relationship. The judiciary employed this word in multiple rulings.
