Why Choose This Book?

What happens behind the closed doors of the Supreme Court Collegium? How are judges selected, how do institutional disagreements unfold, and where should the line be drawn between judicial consultation and executive influence? Without Fear or Favour brings these questions into focus through the experiences of former Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul. Recent media coverage of the memoir has drawn attention to his candid observations on judicial appointments, the Collegium system and the handling of sensitive cases. For lawyers, judges, law students and serious readers of constitutional affairs, this is a timely opportunity to examine the judiciary beyond reported judgments.

About the Book

Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul’s memoir traces nearly five decades in the Indian judicial system, from the Delhi Bar through the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Madras High Court to the Supreme Court of India. Alongside reflections on important judgments concerning freedom of speech, privacy, women’s permanent commission in the armed forces and Article 370, the book examines the institutions and relationships that shape judicial work.

Its recent prominence stems from Justice Kaul’s account of the Collegium’s internal functioning, disagreements over judicial appointments and concerns about executive influence. These are his recollections and assessments, offering readers material for informed discussion about judicial independence, transparency and constitutional governance.

Caveat Legalis

This book is a memoir containing the author’s recollections, opinions and interpretations of judicial and institutional events. It should be read as a first-hand account, not as a substitute for judicial decisions, official records or independent reporting. Readers researching specific legal issues should consult the relevant judgments and current law.
