Description
10 Landmark Judgments in 21st-Century India brings together some of the most important judgments delivered by the Supreme Court of India between 2015 and 2020. Believing that it is critical that the law on these matters be brought out to highlight crucial constitutional law developments, the book is the rest of its kind to clarify the law on crucial concepts of constitutional law in requisite detail using the landmark judgments. Dedicating one chapter to each judgment, Dushyant Kaul and Devanshu Sajlan begin with the basic concepts, relevant history and established judicial precedents on an issue. The judgment is then scrutinized in detail along with the reasoning of each judge or set of judges. Employing mainly primary and secondary sources for research methodology, the judgments are used as a pivot to bring out all points of discourse by leading academicians and scholars on the work and discuss the case law germane to these nuanced points. Finally, the judgments are analyzed in detail to bring out the law that the apex court has declared. 10 Landmark Judgments in 21st-Century India thus is a succinct, yet informative guide that keeps the law students, lawyers, scholars and the general public abreast with the latest judgments on significant public law issues.
