Jurisprudence :Study of India legal theory

JURISPRUDENCE-A Study in Indian Legal Theory is a continuing exercise in the exposition and inter pretation of legal theory. Its first 1972 edition received tremendous response which underwent in Reprint in 1976. Of course the rubric thought content of this work is essentially based on western legal theory and is a key to the understanding of con temporary Indian jurisprudence. However, the main thrust herein is to highlight on indigenous legal princi ples-their rationale, need and impact in the growth and develop ment of Indian jurisprudence coloured and conditioned by the eternal Indian notions of Dharma, Nyaya and Neeti as interwined and expounded by ancient seers and sages. To pure Shastric jurists the controversy between Austin and Hart and Hart. Fuller and others inter se on the relationship between Law. Morality and Justice is not only confusing but exasperating too for they cannot think of law devoid of morality and justice.

The 1985 Edition has made further attempt to interpret, assess and evaluate the new emerging Indian jurisprudence in the light of changing constitutional philosophy. Social developments and judicial interpre tation. Some of these developments which are enormous and far reaching have been succinctly incorporated herein. Indeed this study may become the precursor of some more serious work in the near future.
