Law is not a mausoleum. It is not an antique to be taken down, dusted, admired and put back on the shelf.It is like an old but vigorous tree having its roots in history, yet continuously taking new grafts and putting out new sprouts and occasionally dropping dead wood. It is essentially a social process, the end product of which is justice and hence it must keep on growing and developing with changing social concepts and values.
Otherwise, there will be estrangement between law and justice and law will cease to have legitimacy Though " continuity with the past is a historical necessity," Conformity is not to be turned into a fetish.
