Constitutional Law - I

............................................................................................................................
Description
No advocate in India can be successful in profession without having in-depth study of the Constitution of India, the fundamental law of the land. In India, Constitutional Law is not made, but it has been evolved. There are a number of standard books on this living subject written by well-known Constitutional experts and stalwarts. But, law institutes require student-friendly text-books and only a few books of such quality are available to students. To fill in the lacuna, the author presents this book on the Law of Constitution in two parts for the use of LLB and LLM students of Indian Universities. This text-book has been written based on the syllabi of Bar Council of India and different Universities alongwith National Law Institutes. No text-book writer can claim originality of thought as the prescribed topics have to be explained based on the references. The author has referred to the books listed in Bibliography and he expresses his profound gratitude to the eminent authors and publishers of the books referred to. The readers are advised to use this text-book for academic purpose only.
