Abstract	Justice is purpose and function of law assigned to it by the state. Injustice on gender basis calls for justice in general and gender justice in particular. However justice is not a static concept as it is evolved and gets changed over the time. Justice in its broadest sense comprises of all state actions to regulate selfish actions of people and thereby to treat equals equally on proportionate basis. Administration of justice in concerned with harmonization of individual assertions and rights with the community interests. At any point of time the balance is struck at that point of time where the society accepts it through its legitimate institutions. Gender equality has never received optimum attention of the society as the women are regarded as the champions of family and community interests. Assertion of rights by women has led to sea change in the socio-legal life of all societies across the world. Gender sensitivity and self assertion by women have led to changes in law through legislative instruments, policy documents and precedents. It is apparent that the law influences society is in turn influenced by the society. With the marginalization of women in their roles and treatment the society has been responsible for gender injustice. The law has responded to it by new protective legislations, welfare measures and inventive decisions. Hence the society has positively impacted the law. But the inverse question viz., whether the changes in law are positively changing the society in line with desired goals is moot question. Hence gender injustice cannot be alleviated by law alone. There has to be socio-economic movement changing the mindsets of different role players. In this paper an attempt is made give the conspectus of justice, gender justice and the state actions towards elimination of gender injustice. Suggestions are made to establish nexus between law and society through desired goals set for state and for the society.
