The second edition of this monumental work has been revised and updated with many new headings like – Extra-Judicial Killings, Foeticide, Hindsight, Honour Crime, Independence of Judiciary, Information Blackout, Normative Jurisprudence, Partner – Right to choose, Patient-Doctor Relationship, Personal Choices, Privacy – Right to, Single Mothers and Women’s Empowerment, etc.

A legal quotation may be the core of the decision or a seed sown for future development of law. These quotations relate to many aspects of law and life. Some speak of the role of the State and the Judiciary, some comment on individual rights and freedoms, others remark on nation building – Some are idealist, some downright practical. Quotations from judgments of newly appointed judges to the Supreme Court have also been incorporated and the Judge Index updated, by which readers can refer to the quotes of their idol judges.

Notable Quotes from those landmark judgments of the Supreme Court which dominated the landscape since the publication of the 1st edition, – K.S. Puttaswamy, where 9 Judges unequivocally declared the right to privacy as a fundamental right and Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Assn., where, 4-1, the Judges decided that Judges must have the final say in the appointment of Judges and many other judgments addressing other some very important issues: like protecting women’s rights, the admonition of eve-teasing etc. has been included in this edition.

This compilation will enable the lawyers and judges and others interested in law, to access the appropriate quotation or principle with ease; refer to the decision and understand the context in which the quoted statement has been made.
