The Labyrinth of Law in India

Ikshula

This paper seeks to reflect on a wide range of themes. The discussion of the dominant, European philosophies of law and its critique propounded by one of the finest legal scholars in India, Chhatrapati Singh were done. The paper also aims to look at the journey of law in India, from overlapping jurisdictions as existed in pre-colonial times, to the establishment or rather imposition of a foreign legal system by the British. This leads us to understand how ‘law’ reached its present form, in Article 13 of the Indian Constitution. In the latter section, the transformation of law in its localization, and its pointing towards the fact that there is little resemblance to written law was indicated.
