Human rights and the law c.1

Mr. Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer, in this book expresses himself on a wide-ranging variety of issues. He has gone beyond and written with zeal and amazing originality on a panorama of subjects. In this remarkable book, he has, with refreshing fearlessness and passion for sociospiritual betterment, explored men and matters, issues and themes, displaying a deep commitment to humanity and a critical app roach to problems. This book shows him at his best.
Law does not exist for its own sake. It is related to social situations and functions in relation to objectives and attitudes lying out side the law. Social situations, objectives and attitudes are in a constant state of flux and law cannot hold the allegiance of a dynamic society if it remains a backwater removed from urgent social and economic problems. So, Krishna Iyer believes that law must res pond to the demands of the present. He wants law and the judicial process to herald social change. He wants law to meet the challenges of the future. To him no case ever poses a cold question of law. Every case is soon transformed into a human problem, raising crucial questions and demand ing just solutions. Sure, Krishna Iyer, proffers fascinating answers in his own inimitable, felicitous way.
