About the Book:
This volume is organised into ten comprehensive chapters, each written in a self-learning format enriched with extensive citations and landmark judgments of the Supreme Court of India. A distinctive feature of the book is its broad comparative approach, offering insightful parallels between the Indian Constitution and major constitutional systems around the world, including those of the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, Russia, Germany, Ireland, and several others. This comparative framework enables students across the globe to better understand and appreciate constitutional principles in a wider context.
Every chapter begins with a clear structural overview, allowing readers to grasp the chapter’s scope at a glance. At the end of each chapter, unit-end exercises, activities, and case-study analyses—using both the traditional method and Christopher Langdell’s case method—are provided to make classroom teaching and learning dynamic, engaging, and effective. These features guide both teachers and students on how to navigate the material meaningfully. A concise reading list is also included for further reference.
Although primarily designed for Master of Laws (LL.M.) students in Indian and foreign universities, the book will also benefit anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the Indian Constitution. LL.B. and LL.B. (Hons.) students will find it particularly helpful for strengthening foundational knowledge. The volume is equally useful for aspirants preparing for NET, Judicial Service Examinations, Legal Service Examinations, and Civil Service Examinations, as well as practicing advocates at the Sub-Divisional Courts, High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India.
