Reviews
This book...is essentially meant for lawyers and judges dealing with labour law...the basic aim...is to impart an understanding of the very linkage between labour issues and constitutional philosophy as perceived by Justice V R Krishna Iyer. -- Organiser It is a must for students, trade unionists, academicians, lawyers, judges and more particularly, the judges of the Supreme Court, where we are noticing a wind of change, and to the people in public life. It will be a ready reference for further studies on any topic in industrial jurisprudence. -- Economic & Political Weekly Social Justice and Labour Jurisprudence is a labour of love, a paean of praise, and a faithful recording of Krishna Iyer's work. Its collection of interpretations and judgements, steeped in Iyer's egalitarianism and humanitarian philosophy, is no doubt valuable in itself. -- Himal South Asian
