| Bibliography, etc. note | Justice Bhagwati is one of India's, and indeed one of the world's, most outstanding jurists, a great thinker, philosopher and visionary. His judgments delivered first as a Judge of the Gujarat High Court and then as a Judge and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India have laid great stress and emphasis on the social upliftment of the poor and the downtrodden.<br/>In many of his judgments Justice Bhagwati said that law has to respond to the unsatisfied urges and demands of the people and bring about a socio-economic revolution. If justice is to be done, he said often, then law must not become stagnant or archaic while society moves forward. It must be accessible, intelligible and must change with the time, responding to the realities of modern life. By his skill, he was able to develop the law and adopt it to the needs of his own time.<br/>The book covers a wide range of subjects of constitutional, legal and social importance dealt with in the judgments delivered by Justice Bhagwati during his long career as a judge analysing and examining them critically with reference to the judgments of courts of various other countries, particularly those of England and USA and exploring their true meaning and significance.<br/>The book also presents a comparative study of human rights jurisprudence of different countries against the background of Indian decisions with particular reference to Justice Bhagwati's decisions covering a wide area of jurisprudential thinking |
