Constitutional Law of India
Pandey, J N
Constitutional Law of India - 39th ed. - Allahabad Central Law Agency 2003 - 712 p.
The Constitution of India is an organic document which defines the powers and functions of the various organs of the State and their inter se relationship. It is modelled on the pattern of a federal structure with a strong basis in favour of the Centre. It provides for Parliamentary democracy with an Executive responsible to the Legislature. Like American Constitution, it has armed the Judiciary to test the validity of the Parliamentary legislation on the touchstone of the constitutional provisions.
The Constitution guarantees to its citizens certain fundamental rights: right to equality, right to freedom of speech and religion, right to property and right to constitutional remedies-rights which are essential for the development of human personality. In this, the Indian Constitution has gone a step forward than the Bill of Rights incorporated in the Constitution of the U.S.A. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land, and naturally during the course of the last 22 years a number of commentaries, written by eminent men of law and learning, have come out on the Constitution.
