本书对印度宪法中的司法角色进行了完全重新的理解。作者对印度宪法中的司法角色提出了完全重新配置的理解。他清晰而批判性地审视了基本结构学说在当今的意义和地位。他讨论了基本结构审查是否是司法权力的适当行使还是滥用的问题。他认为，对该学说的大部分批评源于未能充分描绘宪法司法审查的轮廓。他从法律、道德和社会学三个类别来评估基本结构审查的合法性。它批评了塞瓦伊、萨特、奥斯汀和巴希等主要学者的观点。它还分析了凯萨瓦南达·巴蒂案后的情况，并研究了法院如何扩大基本结构原则的范围。他试图制定一个重要的基准，以此来评估司法绩效，并最终消除印度目前关于司法能动主义的辩论中固有的混乱。
This book presents a completely reconfigured understanding of the judicial role in Indian constitutional law. The author presents a completely reconfigured understanding of the judicial role in Indian constitutional law. He lucidly and critically examines the significance and status of the basic structure doctrine today. He addresses the question whether basic structure review is an appropriate exercise of judicial power or an abuse of it. He argues that much of the criticism against the doctrine emerges from a failure to adequately map the contours of constitutional judicial review. He assesses the legitimacy of basic structure review under three categories-legal, moral, and sociological. It critiques the views of major scholars including Seervai, Sathe, Austin, and Baxi. It also analyses the post Kesavananda Bharti cases and studies how the scope of the basic structure doctrine has been expanded by the court. He tries to develop an essential benchmark against which judicial performance may be assessed and the confusions currently inherent in the Indian debate on judicial activism finally eliminated.
