Raising The Bar: Landmark Judgements from the Indian Judiciary

Year: 2024

Author: Pinky Anand

Why did a regular judgment by the Allahabad High Court result in the imposition of Emergency across India? How did Sanjay Dutt’s arrest under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act affect the law’s future? What was the curious turn of events that led to the back and forth regarding the decriminalization of same-sex relationships?

In India, whenever the legislature has resorted to petty politics, the judiciary has always stepped into be the nation’s conscience keeper. Passing landmark judgments like the ones against Triple Talaq and honor killings as well as preserving the citizens’ right to identity and expression, the courts of India have consistently set a high bar when it comes to putting its citizens first.

Raising the Bar explores some cases and judgments that have shaped the citizenry and the country going forward. With the cases analysed in detail by one of the country’s foremost lawyers, this book is a must-read to grasp the legal history of modern India.
