For those who have the time to do it, some lack the patience to write their ideas, some lack the determination to publish, some lack opportunity to publish. So when Raj published the article I was delighted and specially the reference he made to Derrida. It only showed the man’s intellectual prowessand I always like people with that endowment. ” He specifically pointed out three main aspects in the book relating to appointment of judges, internal problem of delay and better management of the courts system.

His articles cover several aspects of the democracy and try to reflect the future of the democracy on its people. Equally, these have helped the right-minded members of the civil society to have a clear and right perspective on the legal issues that have a social dimension and contextual relevance. ”On the author, he added, “He is a great public man and a voracious reader.
