While ostensibly a commentary on the Constitution of India, it is, in fact, a comparative treatise on the universal principles of justice and constitutional government which manifest themselves wherever the Anglo-American political system has been adopted. The book may, thus, be offered as a commentary also on foreign Constitutions, such as those of England, U.S.A., Canada, Australia, Eire, Japan, West Germany, Bangladesh, Nepal etc. etc.
This edition, in nut-shell, is the most authoritative, exhaustive, radically revised, enlarged and most up-to-date on the subject and there is little doubt that for its tried and proven utility, the book in its present edition will have its Biblical place on the shelf of every Lawyer, Constitutional Law Experts, Administrators, Executives, and all such individuals who are in anyway concerned with the Constitution of India. Needless to say that the fine print and the fascinating get-up of this new edition will only add to the spell of the book on our patrons. Changes made by Constitution Amendment Acts, upto the 93rd Amendment, have been incorporated in the body of this book. All notable decisions of the Supreme Court as far as possible, have been cited in this edition.
This book needs no credentials. It is a classic work of its master author, without a peer in the field of Constitutional Law. It has stood the test of time, vis-à-vis the most critical scrutiny from all intelligent quarters, and held its sway over the entire segment of the legal populace, that is in any way whatsoever concerned with this most important and popular branch of law. Needless to say that the book has virtually dominated the field and is considered as the most dependable and potential source of information on constitutional matters.
