pt.1. Rights. Personal liberty; Privacy, equality and dignity; Social justice and reservations; Socio-economic rights; Refugees and non-citizens; A rightless zone: Kashmir after article 370 -- pt.2. Constitutional structure. Federalism; Anti-defection; Fourth branch institutions -- pt.3. The judiciary. The courts; Judges; Chief Justices -- Epilogue: a constitutionalism without a court.
In Unsealed Covers, Gautam Bhatia provides a snapshot of the Indian judiciary between 2014 and 2023. The 2014 general election saw the installation of the first majority non-coalition government in many decades (the NDA). The 2019 general election saw its return with a greater majority. It is commonly accepted that the NDA years have generated significant conflict within and around various democratic institutions meant to act as checks and balances against majoritarian power.
One of the most important theatres of conflict has been the judiciary-in particular, the Supreme Court. Critics have distinguished the Supreme Court’s past assertive record with its quiescent and sometimes facilitative attitude towards the NDA government(s). Unsealed Covers provides a unique terrain where the actions of the judiciary and its relationship with the government are examined in terms of evolution and chronology. It also comments on some of the most important judgments of the past decade.
