Secret History of Selection of Supreme Court Judges
Published on 2024
About the book:
The central argument of this book is that despite all established formal constitutional requirements, there are multiple unwritten criteria that are used for appointing judges to the Supreme Court. The book examines the debates surrounding the Indian judicial system and anecdotal evidences and deeply analyses the Indian political developments that resulted in the present 'collegium system' of appointing judges to the Supreme Court of India and brings to the fore the secret and unwritten criteria that have determined the selection of judges to the highest court of law in this country. The National Judicial Appointments Commission's (NJAC) judgment on the appointment of judges to the Supreme Court has been the subject of a deeply polarized debate in the public sphere and academia. This book subsequently analyses the NJAC judgment and provides a rich context to it, in terms of philosophical, comparative, and constitutional issues that underpin it. The book examines the secret constitutional principles behind selecting judges and their application in the NJAC judgment; and comparatively looks at the judicial appointments process in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Pakistan, enquiring into what makes a good judge and an effective appointments process. The book is a deep dive into the constitutional concepts of judicial independence and separation of powers as discussed in the NJAC judgment.About The Author:

About the book:
The public policy approach to disaster management studies the responses that the state evolves when managing disasters. These state responses are important because they have implications on the development strategy that the state would adopt after the disasters have occurred and also how communities would mould their responses in future such occurrences.

The number of questions on Disaster Management are increasing every year in the UPSC Civil Services Main Examination even when the subject continues to receive step brotherly treatment. The problem is compounded when the subject is seen as a veritable arm of 'Geography', even when the UPSC has placed the subject under GS Mains Paper -lll. This book provides a through treatment to the subject by re-visiting the intellectual discourse through the prism of public policy and provides the readers with theoretical underlings, ideas and interdisciplinary perspectives to tackle the UPSC Main Exam questions.- Comprehensive coverage of Disaster Management

- Overall, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of disaster management from a public policy perspective, illuminating the strategies and frameworks shaping responses to disasters in India.
