The Book
The present book looks into the Indian Supreme Court from a non-traditional point of view. The major purpose of the book is to make a survey of the Judicial Behaviour and Judicial Decision Making of the Supreme Court of India. It is an attempt to look to the highest judiciary in India through the lens of behavioural research. When this book was first published in the year 2000 it was the first published book in this area on the Indian Supreme Court. This area was neglected by the Indian researchers in Political Science and Law for quite a significant period of time. It was in fact, a virgin area of research and very few scholars looked into the Indian Supreme Court through this lens. Quite in the contrary, the research on judicial behaviour and judicial decision making was a very common area of research in the United States of America and we find that there are a plethora of works in this field. In the wake of behavioural revolution, the pioneering efforts were taken by leading stalwarts in America in judicial behavioural research. The most important pioneers include Professor C. Herman Pritchett, Professor David J. Danelski, Professor Joel B. Grossman, Professor Sidney Ulmer, Professor Walter F. Murphy and no less than a person like Professor Glendon B. Schubert. These American scholars significantly developed highly sophisticated models for the study of this unexplored field in the American context. But unfortunately, it could not develop much interest among the Indian researchers. From the Indian perspective the credit definitely goes to an American scholar, Professor George H. Gadbois Jr. who applied the new models and techniques to the study of Indian Judiciary. It was Professor Gadbois who can claim the credit of new path breaking trend which inspired Indian scholars like me to look at the Indian Judiciary from a new angle, not following the traditional method of study of the Indian Supreme Court. This book is an attempt to try and explore the undiscovered areas of the Indian Supreme Court, the highest Court in the country. It would serve the purpose of the academicians and the researchers to a great extent. Since this area is fertile for research, it might invite scholars to explore many dimensions of the Supreme Court of India.
