Commentry on the constitution of India

The topics which have received special attention in developing the material included in this Volume, inter alia, are-Arts. 32, 76 and 105. Great controversy gathered round the functions and status of the office of the Attorney-General and the power of our Legislatures to commit for contempt, during the period which has intervened the publication of the previous Edition of this Volume and the present one. For a solution of the problems relating to these topics, it is hoped, the pages added in this Volume will be found useful.
The Opinion of the Supreme Court in the Reference Case relating to the Uttar Pradesh Legislature has introduced momentous ideas with a view to bringing the imported privileges of the British House of Commons into harmony with the guarantees of individual rights in our written Constitution. The adjustment of the Legislatures to these new ideas is not yet complete and the cry for a constitutional amendment or legislation to give a definite shape to the relationship between the Legislature and the Courts in India has been drowned by the clash of arms with an aggressive neighbour. With the restoration of a calmer atmosphere, the problem is bound to raise its head again, and any attempt to make a stable solution would be welcome, for, any conflict between the two organs of our body politic as went on in England for years would undermine our strength on the home front which we can ill afford to suffer. Considerations for such solution may be found in the comments under Art. 105(3), in this Volume.
