Summary: Centre-State relations have assumed much importance in India. There have been con flicting views on this important subject between the Centre and States, the Centre assuming more powers than envisaged in the Constitution, and some States demanding utmost autonomy. Even eminent jurists and constitutional experts differ when they say: 'India possesses a dual government; both the Union and the State governments are substantially independent of each other' and 'India is anything but federal'. Former Presi dent N. Sanjiva Reddy said: 'restoration of Centre-State relations to the frame originally envisaged in the Constitution is important factor for consideration in to-day's India'. This book makes an in-depth study and clear analysis of the complex problem in the light of judicial pronouncement pertaining to Centre-State disputes under the Indian Federal System. It also studies the role of the Supreme Court as an interpreter of the constitutional provisions regarding Centre State powers and as arbiter of States destinies.
