14 Jurisprudence Matthew H. Kramer In Defense of Legal Positivism: Law Without Trimmings 1st Indian Edition, 2003 Price Rs The author is Professor of Legal and Political Philosophy in the University of Cambridge. Whenever there is a legal rule, the question arises: what makes the legal rule different from other rules? For example how is a rule of cricket different from the legal rule that only the owner of a house (or those who have his permission) can normally enter it? This book explores this question in the context of morality whether a legal rule must be moral before it can have the character of a legal rule. The author distinguishes between different possible meanings of morality in this context whether a law has to be good and not evil for it to be a law or whether a law has to be in the interest of the common people and not just politicians for it to be a law. The main argument of the book, in defence of legal positivism, is that a law to be a law can be evil and a law can be purely in the interests of politicians and still be a law it does not have to be good, and nor does it have to be for the benefit of the people. This is what the author calls the separability of law and morality : the key argument of legal positivism. The chapters of the book discuss the arguments of various authors, such as Fuller, Dworkin, Finnis and MacCormick who argue that for a law to be a law it must be morally good. This means that, for example, in India a law to be a law must be Constitutionally valid. And since the Indian Constitution is considered morally good, if a law is Constitutionally valid, then it is morally good. This book will be extremely useful for students of all Jurisprudence courses in India; especially those who need to study the Hart-Fuller debate (discussed in Chapter 3 of the book) and the Hart-Dworkin debate (discussed in Chapter 6 of the book), legal academics, teachers of Jurisprudence courses, and libraries.

Ph.: (0522) , , ; Fax: Restitution Gerard McMeel The Modern Law of Unjust Enrichment and Restitution 1st Indian Edition, 2003 Price Rs The law of restitution is the law of failed or mistaken transactions. Given that almost as many transactions fail as succeed, it is as important and essential an area of law which the student and lawyer need to know as the law of contract. The law of unjust enrichment has had a statutory basis in India since 1872, but it was only in 1991, in the landmark House of Lords case of Lipkin Gorman v Karpnale, that it was settled in England that the basis of the law of restitution is the unjust enrichment of the defendant. Once the basis of the law was settled 1991, this area of the law has seen stupendous development in England in the following decade. This book written in a very simple and clear style, makes this difficult and new area of law easily accessible to the lawyer and the student. The largest number of cases in this area relate to S. 72 of the Contract Act, and have to do with overpaid income tax, sales tax or excise duty, and the most difficult question before the Court is the defences available to the defendant. There has been a great deal of development and case law in this particular area in England, and there are six chapters in the book that cover a treatment of Defences. Even though Indian law has had a statutory basis since 1872, the law is comparatively underdeveloped in India. This book, by making available all the latest developments in English law in this area in the 1990s, precisely, simply and in a small volume, can greatly aid the development of the law in India. Therefore this book would be invaluable to Contract lawyers, Tax lawyers, Corporate lawyers, Government lawyers, judges, students and academics who wish to understand this complex area of law and contribute to its development in India. Sale of Goods Law of Sale of Goods & Hire Purchase 6th Edn., 2005 Price Rs This new updated edition of the book has been enriched with the developments that have come into being since the preceding edition.

To enable quick access to the information the author has given: Detailed Contents Subject Index Table of Cases contains the necessary citations to enable easier reference to the original reports. A handy reference book which can easily be recommended to students preparing for professional examinations at any level. Even though the Sale of Goods law is an important branch of mercantile law, it extends its dimensions much beyond the commercial and the economic development and the social life in general. The book is of general interest and a must read for all those looking for a lucid exposition on the subject. 18

23 Women and Law & Law Relating to Child/Law, Poverty and Development Mamta Rao Law Relating to Women and Children 2nd Edition, 2008 In Press In India feminine glory was at its zenith in the Vedic period, after which it suffered a decline. After Independence, the Constitution of India and some enactments provided for benign discrimination in favour of women and children. However, despite the laws, discrimination and violence continues unabated. The malaise of discrimination in personal and labour laws is reflected in a number of cases filed in various courts of the country. While women attempt to empower themselves economically, they are faced with problems of sexual harassment at the workplace and domestic violence. The gender sensitive approach of the judiciary, as is reflected in a number of decisions, however, is the ray of hope. A sincere attempt has been made in this book to highlight the problems faced by women, the laws to safeguard their interests and the judgments given by various courts. The other part of the book deals with the plight of children, because they are a national asset. Unfortunately, in our country children face problems of child labour, sexual abuse and child trafficking. In this part of the book all relevant enactments, provisions and latest case law have been incorporated relating to children. The subject is of greater relevance today and has been introduced in the curriculum of undergraduate and postgraduate legal studies. The book will also be found useful for its wealth of material by lawyers, judges and social activists. P.L.
