ABOUT THE SERIES 

Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy in collaboration with the India International Centre hosts a series ‘The Working of the Indian Constitution: Stories and Scholarship’. As a part of this initiative, we host the ‘Great Cases’ series, which aims to foster in-depth discussions on landmark rulings that have profoundly shaped the Indian Constitution. Each session will feature legal professionals – offering their unique perspectives on the ruling. 

The series invites members of the legal fraternity to speak to the audiences (a mix of people from the legal field, students, media, and related professionals) to talk about great cases that have left an indelible impression on the Indian legal system.
