Learn The Law - Understanding Of Law For Common Persons

Year: 2023

Author: Vijay Kumar Singh

Learn the Law has been written for the lay person with the objective to make people aware of their rights and duties.

Written in a simple manner, the book is divided into six units which cover the historical evolution of the Indian Legal System, Constitutional Law, Hierarchy of Courts and Administration of Justice, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Family Law.

The first unit traces the historical evolution of the Indian Legal System starting from the concept of “Dharma” in the Vedic period charting its journey through the Moghul period and then the British period which actually put the foundational stone of the current legal system.

The People of India draw their rights from the Constitution (though with reasonable restrictions) and have the ability to question unconstitutional conduct by the State before the Judiciary. The Judiciary is the guardian of the Constitution. Rights and the enforcement of rights have been covered in Unit II of this book.
