Description
V.N. Shukla's Constitution of India has proved itself, over eleven editions, to be the most authoritative and respected academic book on the Indian Constitution. Its outstanding reputation has established it in the foremost rank of classic legal textbooks. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated by Prof. (Dr) Mahendra Pa! Singh taking into account the developments since the publication of the previous edition. The current edition includes the latest Constitutional Amendments and Supreme Court decisions on issues such as equality and affirmative action, education, women's rights, and principles of constitutionalism and judicial review. This book has been an ideal study and reference companion for students and practitioners alike and is frequently cited in the courts. The Supreme Court of India cited the 11th Edition in Indian Medical Association v. Union of India [(2011) 7 SCC 179], the 10th Edition in Rameshwar Prasad (VI) v. Union of India [(2006) 2 SCC 1] and the 7th Edition in Umaji Keshao Meshram v. Radhikabai [1986 Supp SCC 401] while the Constitutional Court of South Africa cited the 9th Edition in Nalandazeli Fose v. The Minister of Safety and Security [Case CCT 44/96]. This book is not only valuable for legal scholars, judges, practitioners, government officials and NGOs but for anyone interested in learning about the principles underlying our Constitution.
