Justice D.A. Desai, retired judge of Supreme Court and chairperson of Law Commission of India is one of the vanishing species of committed and creative minds in India’s legal institutions and jurisprudence. According to justice V.K. Krishna Iyer, "Justice Desai’s judicial performance in various fields of jurisprudence is a reflection of his philosophy which is the same as the philosophy of the Constitution of India." Justice Desai was not carried away by unnecessary weight of doctrine of precedents. He kept the institution of law functionally just, vibrant and working. In this book, Prof. Shukla critically examines 47 judgments of justice Desai in Gujarat High Court and Supreme Court of India. The book will be of great value to not only students of jurisprudence, company and constitutional law, sociology of law, and political institutions, but also all those who are interested in social transformation through law.
