Biographical essays-mini-biographies for each of the first 93 (1950-1989) judges of the Supreme Court of India, most of the contents collected by the author from interviews with the judges. By whom and why each was chosen is discussed for the first time. Attention is paid to changes in their backgrounds and the selection processes over the four decades.
This book contains biographical essays for each of the first ninety-three judges who served on the Supreme Court of India from 1950 through mid-1989. It is the first close look at these judges, and follows them from their birth to their deaths. An attempt is made to account for why they were chosen - the selection criteria employed and, to the extent possible in a furtive selection environment, to identify those who selected them. The latter represents the first comprehensive attempt to connect the dots between a potential nominee and his ultimate appointment. The book concludes with a collective portrait of them, paying particular attention to changes in their backgrounds - fathers' occupation, education, pre-SCI careers, caste, religion, region, over the four decades.
