Summary: The title of the work, "Judiciary under Constitution", speaks for itself. It is an attempt to set out all aspects of the judiciary in India in terms of the Constitution. The important rule of the judiciary in a civilised, democratic government is ample justification for the work undertaken by the author. It is common knowledge that the Constitution of India is no copy of the existing Constitutions of the world, written or unwritten. The distinguished architects of the Constitution fused the best in those Constitutions and evolved a Constitution for India suited to the needs of a Democratic Social Republic. We are justly as proud of our written Constitution as any other country of its written or unwritten Constitution. The Constitution of India is an incarnation of the spirit of the Rule of Law. If a democracy means a government of laws and not of men, the supremacy of the Rule of Law is essential. And for ensuring a government of laws or government according to the law, an independent judiciary is needed. The express provision for judicial review of legislation as to its conformity with the Constitution makes it the duty of the Supreme Court, specially as regards fundamental rights, to act as a sentinal on the qui vive.
