  abstract: "Judicial Activism in India is an examination of judicial review and its role in democracy, with special reference to India. It traces the evolution of the Supreme Court of India from a passive, positivist court into an activist one, articulating counter-majoritarian checks on democracy." "Tracing the role of the Supreme Court from the making of the Constitution, Professor S. P. Sathe analyses the functioning of the Court and crucial changes in its mandate. In particular, he probes the post-Emergency period, when the Court liberally interpreted the Constitution in expanding the rights of the people and facilitating access for the common man. This was an attempt to regain the social legitimacy the judiciary had lost during the Emergency." "Professor Sathe discusses the processes through which the Court's new avatar has been legitimized, and highlights what the Court must do to sustain this legitimacy. In this solidly documented and insightful exploration of the part played by the Supreme Court in India's democracy, Professor Sathe raises important questions regarding the relationship between democracy, governance, the Constitution and the judiciary." "Judicial Activism in India addresses this crucial issue of our times. With a preface by Upendra Baxi, it is essential reading for graduate and post-graduate students of constitutional law, lawyers, judges, political scientists, sociologists, activists and others concerned about the role of India's judiciary and its impact on our democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
