Book Review - M P Jain Indian Constitutional Law

2010-06-22T14:12:00.000+05:30

The well-known legal scholar Professor Upendra Baxi, in an obituary on Jain in Delhi Law Review in 2004, wrote thus: “M.P. [as he used to be called fondly] inspired affection, but never a sense of awe, usually associated with and distinctively Indian law school modes of wielding often tyrannical academic institutional power and authority; in this, it must be said, Mahavir [as Baxi called him affectionately by his first name] differed from many of his luminous contemporaries. As a teacher, researcher and author, Mahavir remained accessible to all; he wrote clearly and cogently. He did not believe that simplicity in writing betrayed the complexity of the field. He made the law bare in all its august yet technical, turgid, and prosaic detail….”

According to Baxi, “M.P.” believed that the law had an autonomous life of its own and that the stories concerning the development of the law had to be so told as to foster legalism – a public ethic of rule following.

Legalism as a virtue is best understood as a judicially imposed corpus of restraints on executive and legislative power, and as Baxi puts it aptly, is irritatingly irrelevant to the task of making India ‘safe' for the community of foreign investors, an aspect of contemporary Indian globalisation.

To describe the sixth edition of Indian Constitutional Law as “revised” by Justice Ruma Pal, former judge of the Supreme Court, and her husband and senior advocate, Samaraditya Pal, two illustrious legal practitioners, is a misnomer. The book needs periodical updating in order to keep pace with the changes in the constitutional law, and the authors have taken extreme care to keep the basic text intact while not missing the latest case laws.

The Pals admit in the preface that they expected a revision of Jain's book to be a daunting task not only because of its size but because of the author's formidable reputation as a scholar. Jain's views on the various aspects of the Constitution, they said, were erudite yet simply articulated and balanced yet definitive.

The Pals claimed that the opinions earlier expressed by Jain and the format adopted by him were maintained though they had some reservations. They also justified the addition of a new chapter on education, in view of the introduction of Article 21-A as a fundamental right guaranteeing the right to education.

The comments on these case laws by the Pals are significant. It is difficult to say whether Jain would have agreed with all the comments and interpretations interpolated by the authors. While a reader would be interested in separating the interpretation of Jain from that of the Pals, indicating this in the body of the text would have been rather cumbersome and might have even affected the style of the book. As a result, a reader has virtually to compare the fifth and sixth editions to separate the Pals' comments from Jain's.

A few instances of additions by the Pals help illuminate the value of the sixth edition. In 2007, the judgment of Justices Markandey Katju and A.P. Mathur of the Supreme Court against judicial activism by the Bench invited a lot of attention. In his ruling in Divisional Manager, Aravali Golf Club vs Chander Hass, Justice Katju spoke in favour of the classical separation of powers as enunciated by Montesquieu.

In their commentary in the book, the Pals state : “The Bench seems to have broken down in the face of intensely adverse criticism launched principally against the Supreme Court's ‘ activist' role by legislators as well as the executive. All the observations of the court relating to separation of powers was wholly uncalled for since the real question in controversy was whether the Punjab and Haryana High Court could direct creation of posts to accommodate daily wage earners who, according to the High Court, ought to have been regularised. This issue had been answered in the negative by a long line of cases and, therefore, the law was well-settled on the issue. In fact, the sudden attack on the judiciary by the judiciary finds place in the judgment after the court, having considered the merits, allowed the appeal and set aside the judgment and order of the High Court.”

The Pals, in their harsh comments on these observations, state that these are not only obiter but betray a basic constitutional criterion that judges cannot convert the courts into the hustings. “Uninformed obiter of the Supreme Court can attract media attention to the judges who author such obiter but tends to lower reputation of the court amongst the right thinking members of the society and shake the confidence of the people in an institution charged by the Constitution to enforce the rule of law,” the Pals write. They felt the Katju Bench displayed an amazing lack of courage in pointing out any particular precedent when the courts exceeded their jurisdiction and usurped the powers of the other organs of the state.

Another interpolation by the authors in the introductory chapter, citing a Supreme Court judgment delivered in 2004, says: “The Constitution is an organic living document. Its outlook and expression as perceived and expressed by the interpreters of the Constitution must be dynamic and keep pace with the changing times. Though the basics and fundamentals of the Constitution remain unalterable, the interpretation of the flexible provisions of the Constitution can be accompanied by dynamism, and lean, in case of conflict, in favour of the weaker or the one who is needier.”

Drawing from another judgment, delivered by the Supreme Court in 2008, the Pals made this addition while discussing federalism: “Instead of the word ‘federation', the word ‘Union' was deliberately selected by the Drafting Committees of the Constituent Assembly to indicate two things, namely, that the Indian Union is not the result of an agreement by the States and the component States have no freedom to secede from it. Though the country and the people may be divided into different States for convenience of administration, the country is one integral whole, its people a single people living under a single imperium derived from a single source.”

A discerning reader will be able to identify similar interpolations by the Pals, which further enrich the understanding of Jain's study of Indian constitutional law.

In his obituary, Baxi observed that “M.P.” primarily conceived the legal historian's craft as a rather relentless pursuit of the dull detail of the development of legal institutions and doctrines and doubted grand designs and equally grand narratives.
