Neither does US recognize it as a right. No matter whether you believe jury nullification is a perversion of justice or irreplaceable bulwark against tyranny, it’s origin can’t be disputed. Jury nullification is not a right that was ever recognized explicitly, but an unintended side-effect of other rights (right to jury trial and jury verdicts being final).
“Phenomenon called Jury Nullification.”
Disgusting langauge, it makes it sound like a newfangled perversion of the justice system instead of an actual right that people have.
Here’s the thing: this is an Indian article and they specifically don’t have jury trials or nullification as a right.

It kind of does. It says “By a trial jury of your peers”, which implies, more or less, the jury of your peers are the final arbiter.
The Constitution says that it is not spelling out all the rights just the ones that it has listed.
And those rights are human rights. They are not granted by the Constitution but merely recognized in a document.
Wake up. A piece of parchment did not create human rights.
