Dipak Misra: Judge with a Difference

EDITED BY PRADEEP RAI & INDERJIT BADHWAR

Dipak Misra: Judge with a Difference presents an analytical compilation of 50 significant Supreme Court judgements associated with the judicial career and legacy of Justice Dipak Misra, former Chief Justice of India. The book examines a wide range of important constitutional and legal issues, offering readers insight into the reasoning, context and wider implications of landmark decisions. The cases discussed span questions of constitutional governance, individual liberty, human dignity, judicial independence, privacy, fair trial, federal disputes and the relationship between law and society. Among the subjects explored are **passive euthanasia and living wills, the Cauvery water dispute, the Nirbhaya case, Hadiya’s marriage, WhatsApp privacy, FIR transparency, constitutional patriotism, judicial roster and institutional functioning, mob lynching, defamation, women’s property rights and other significant questions of Indian jurisprudence**. Featuring contributions from legal scholars and practitioners, the volume places these decisions within their broader constitutional and jurisprudential context. It is designed as a useful reference for **law students, researchers, lawyers, academics and readers interested in the development of Indian constitutional law and judicial thought**. Published as a Special Edition (2018), this volume offers a detailed look at some of the important judicial questions and decisions that shaped the public and legal discourse during Justice Dipak Misra’s tenure.
