Description
This comprehensive and insightful volume traces the evolution of the Supreme Court of India from a passive, positivist court into an activist institution, articulating counter-majoritarian checks on democracy. In this revised and updated edition, professor Sathe, one of India’s renowned jurists, critically analyses recent judgments of the supreme Court on issues such as secularism, the right to education, the new economic policy on disinvestment, and contempt of Court.
