Description

Constitutional law of India H M Seervai (In 3 Volumes)

Book overview

This is perhaps the best written commentary on the Constitution of India, praised by the Bar and often quoted by the Judiciary in judgements. It is running into three large and comprehensive volumes. This is a set of three acclaimed volumes.

A must have for every Advocate aspiring to practice in the High Courts and for Constitutional Law scholars aspiring to academe.

The Critical Commentary on the Constitutional Law of India by the eminent Jurist HM Seervai is a Masterpiece. It is a book for advanced students [LL.M. (Constitutional Law) and Higher] and Practitioners of Constitutional Law. It presupposes a high degree of familiarity of the reader, with the Constitutional Law of India, Politics related to the Constitution, and the the General Principles of Constitutionalism. It offers a comparative perspective on the development of the legal theories of Constitutional Law, frequently quoting decisions from USA, UK, Australia and other Common Law Jurisdictions and explaining how the Courts in India have been influenced by these.

Best Studied in conjunction with DD Basu’s exhaustive ten volume Commentary on the Constitution of India, this critical commentary by Seervai provides an insight as to how and why the decisions were given as well as explains in lucid detail the alternate and critical views on the largely positivist commentaries given by Basu.
