Liberty And Corruption: The Antulay Case And Beyond

by Upendra Baxi

This work lays bare the emergent political economy of corruption in India and the rather effected role of the judicial process and power in the resurrection of democratic values in public life.

Basing his premise on an analysis of the famous Antulay case, the author goes on to illustrate how anti-corruption laws in India tend to protect rather than punish the corrupt.

Regarding the Antulay case as next only in importance to Kesavananda Bharti case, the work raises critical issues concerning the erosion of democracy in India and the fate of Indian Law and jurisprudence. It seeks to restore to political agenda a lost cause : rectitude and integrity in the wielding of public power in India.

The book highlights ways in which conscientious citizens should endeavour to redeem the future of Indian democracy by campaigns for law reform. The work explores both the jurisprudence of corruption and the corruption of jurisprudence.

"My labour of writing and of your reading the book, should help the production of a new Indian destiny." - The Author
