In one or two respects there is some justification in this criticism. But by and large, the alleged over-elaboration and complexity are more apparent than real.This is the sixteenth edition of the book - India’s Constitution & this edition builds on the success of its previous editions in providing a comprehensive understanding of the constitutional principles. It takes into account constitutional developments over the period and also throws light on the important issues.
