A powerful new volume gathers India’s finest legal minds to assess the Court’s triumphs, trials—and the road ahead.

As the Supreme Court of India enters its diamond jubilee year, a new book asks a bold and necessary question: Has the nation’s highest court truly delivered complete justice?

Titled [In]Complete Justice? The Supreme Court at 75, this authoritative and timely volume is edited by Justice S. Muralidhar, one of India’s most respected jurists and a former Chief Justice of the Odisha and Punjab & Haryana High Courts. The book offers a searching, often unsparing examination of the Court’s role as the guardian of the Constitution.

Across 624 pages, the collection brings together former judges, senior advocates, legal scholars, policy researchers, and a journalist, each weighing in on the evolution, challenges, and contradictions of an institution that has both shaped—and been shaped by—India’s turbulent democratic journey.

What has the Court stood for?

From dramatic midnight hearings to historic verdicts and missed opportunities, the Supreme Court has been hailed as a sentinel of liberty—and criticized for moments of silence in the face of power. This book delves into the Court’s constitutional legacy, asking:

• Has it been the counter-majoritarian force our founders envisioned?
• Has it safeguarded individual rights against the tide of populism and executive overreach?
• Has it remained faithful to the spirit of liberty, equality, fraternity, and dignity enshrined in the Constitution?

Through a series of insightful essays and candid interviews, the contributors examine everything from the court’s institutional structure and shifting jurisprudence to its controversial decisions and evolving public perception.

Justice Muralidhar writes in his introduction:

“At 75, the Supreme Court is both a source of pride and a subject of scrutiny. This volume does not seek to praise or indict—it seeks to understand.”
