Book Description
Banking is the backbone of all economies the world over. And like everything that has anything to do with money, it too is prone to manipulations and irregularities. Consequently, there have been a number of legislative enactments to deal with the greed borne contingencies. But the enactments alone are not enough, for the legislations have to be enforced and the errant punished, which is the domain of the courts. It is in the courts that a legislation comes to life and becomes operative. And it is here that the finer meanings of the provisions come to the surface. The Supreme Court being the highest Court of the land with its judgements binding on all the courts and tribunals in the country, is the final interpreter of a statute. The Apex Court has passed a number of enlightening judgements and has been a wise interpreter of the statutes. There cannot be a study of the law of any kind without taking in consideration the judgements of the Apex Court. Banking laws are no exceptions. Therefore, we bring to you the fifth edition of our selected compilation of the Supreme Court judgements.
This is the 5th Edition of the book, which is a collection of the Supreme Court judgements on Banking Laws from 1950 to 2007. The first four editions of the book were published in 1980, 1984, 1991 and 2002. And in this edition we have tried to expand the scope and coverage of the book.
Banking is a vast field and it is difficult to say that the book covers all the judgements on banking, but while selecting the judgments, every effort has been made to include the judgments which are relevant. It gives a brief summary of facts of the cases and provides the ratio decidendi of the decisions.
We sincerely hope that it would be very useful ready reference on banking laws.
