This important new work is an insider's account of the role of the Supreme Court of India in interpreting the main themes of the Constitution and in formulating contemporary public law in the country.

Starting from the earliest days, the author examines the challenges which the highest court of the land has faced during its difficult, but exciting journey of nearly six decades. Written by one of the Supreme Court's most respected judges, known for his personal rectitude, belief in judicial collegiality, and social justice, this book explains what the Constitution is intended to achieve and the contribution of the Court towards that end. The author situates where the Court has failed or faltered and where its role has been exemplary. Consisting of short accessible essays, this work provides an insightful commentary on a wide range of topical issues.
