Overview

India's judiciary stands at the centre of some of the most consequential constitutional debates of our time. Judicial Independence vs. Executive Overreach offers a clear, compelling, and rigorously researched examination of how the collegium system evolved, why it remains contested, and what its future means for the balance of power in a modern democracy. Drawing on landmark cases, historical developments, and contemporary controversies, this book unpacks the tensions between judicial autonomy and governmental influence, from the post-Emergency era to the NJAC judgment and ongoing challenges in appointments, transfers, diversity, and transparency. Rather than arguing for a return to executive control or defending the collegium uncritically, it presents a nuanced analysis of how institutional reform can strengthen independence while ensuring accountability. Accessible, timely, and grounded in constitutional principles, this work is essential reading for students, lawyers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the evolving architecture of India's democratic institutions.
