Few will deny that the post emergency higher judiciary in India has earned widespread public acclaim for its innovative and creative jurisprudence notwithstanding the argument advanced by some critics that it has exercised excessive jurisdiction transgressing at times the executive and legislative domains contrary to the original checks and balances design of the constitution. While the issue of judicial restraint in the context of constitutional separation of powers deserves serious attention the fact of the matter is that juristocracy invariably triumphs when the elected representative in a democracy cannot be trusted to provide good and lawful governance. From this perspective the unprecedented judicializtion of politics and the growth of judicial activism in Indian seems to be an organic response to pressures within the political system itself. The contributors to the volume are well known scholars lawyers and academics. They reflect on the itinerary of higher judiciary and its contributions to constitutional law and public good contextualized for the developmental path of the political system since the commencement of the Republic in 1950.
