1. Human Rights -- 2. Human Rights - India

Indeks : Indeks ; Justice Verma?s ideas have been getting around. In the book, the various essays mix details of case history with a sense of the changing context in which precedent can be applied?taking stock of all that makes law in India something more than a dry routine that is bureaucratized and lacks public value. Human Rights is an elusive subject, and Justice Verma gives it a solid base in India. A case in point is his strong defence of public trust, in a country where the state is strong. His position led him to major judgements against politicians and officials. Important also has been Justice Verma?s evaluation of how the law has and must treat the infringements of women?s rights?where so much is obscure that exceptional initiatives must be taken in finding and understanding evidence. This book, readers will know, is no simple case book of how precedents and evidence were ordered. It shows Justice Verma?s remarkable imagination at work as he (like other exemplary members of his profession) have combined social sensitivity with a deep sense of legal practice.
