“…… As long as the human beings are not free from error, no intellectual opinion can ever be the last word.
……The judges of the Supreme Court also need to know where they sometimes go wrong so that they may correct themselves for the future; and the law may progress……
This book is a refreshing example of a healthy and balanced criticism……
……I hope the members of the bar and the teachers of law will make it a tradition to publish fair comments on important judgments of the Supreme Court……”
