It also implemented a series of check-and-balances to ensure that no single body could become dominant. However, in recent times, the judiciary seems to have become the only pillar of Indian democracy. Despite its numerous achievements, its influence has spread to areas beyond those prescribed by the constitution, leading to major confrontations with the legislature and the executive. This book highlights the need for the accountability of the judiciary. Based on extensive, in-depth research, The Judiciary and Governance in India is a comprehensive account of the diverse and wide-ranging concerns of civil society and of the roles of the legal profession, political leaders, policy makers, the media, academics and social activists in preserving Indian democracy.
