Abstract
Aristotle notably referred to the concept of Justice as “ To be conscious of that we are perceiving or thinking is to be conscious of our existence”. Aristotle couched the idea of Justice into a larger frame for understanding the relation between Justice and Equality. The essence of the interdependence between Justice and Equality is stated in his idea of Distributive Justice. The central claim of Distributive Justice states that, Justice attains its platform when the share distributed to a person is in ratio to the worth or ability of the person to uphold the burden itself. In a more elaborated statement, Justice attains its notion, when shares are equally distributed between two persons is in proportion to their equal worth or value and unequally distributed is in proportion to their unequal worth or value. Equality avows the idea of Justice even in Unequal distribution of shares based on the pedestal of the worth of an individual. The substantiality of Distributive Justice attains its connotation and inference only when it is related to the existential reality. In respect to that, the Aristotelian idea of Distributive Justice is set forth as a casing to understand the arena of the Forest Right Act 2006 of India. The Forest Right Act of 2006 is an attempt by the Government of India, not only to safeguard and have sustainable use of Forest Resources. But also to bestow Justice to Tribes and Forest Dwellers whose identity and livelihood is entangled with the unruffled breath of the Forest Land. In a crux the research done in the chapter is an attempt to explore three different aspects - first, a theoretical understanding of the work of Justice, more precisely the idea of Distributive Justice as premeditated by Aristotle. Secondly, to briefly study the scaffold of the laws that were carved out in independent India for the known yet unknown Land and its people. Thirdly, to recount the Forest Right Act of 2006 in order to understand the practicality and implementation of Distributive Justice from the stand of Merit. Justice will enlighten itself only when the line between imagination and knowing is beclouded and Truth arises from the facet of reality.
