The Supreme Court of India was brought into being by the Indian Constitution in 1950, and has witnessed India’s transition from colonial rule to democracy. Empowered with a jurisdiction far greater than that of any comparable court in the world, the Supreme court has watched over and participated in the affairs of the nation, to try to secular and democratic justice.
‘The Supreme Court of India’ presents a vivid glimpse of the Supreme Court — with its tradition of independence, erudition, and courage — over these tumultuous years. This collector’s item traces the history of the court, its working, and the evolution of its policies over the years.
The book contains many rare photographs from the Supreme Court archives, including photographs of nearly all the Chief Justices and Judges of the Court and the Court Building itself. This book will appeal to general reader and those interested in law and the history of independent India, and will also be an asset to libraries and institutions.
