That’s why I’ve been working so hard to get close to him, so that I would have enough access to gather it.There’s only one problem, though. Now that I know him, I’m starting to think that maybe I have the wrong target. Maybe he’s not the man I thought he was before I met him. That maybe I’m falling for the man I’m finding out he is.I thought working with Mac would be simple, but now that love is involved, things are getting very complicated.Mac MackenzieWhen I promoted Kira Baker to be my “right hand woman,” I knew it was going to be hard to keep my mind on work when she was around. Her chestnut curls, her deep hazel eyes, her curves that go on for days…all of these things are very distracting.But when things heat up between us, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is more than just a physical attraction.And when I find out things about her past that she thought would always stay hidden, I know one thing for certain—I will do anything to protect her.

Landmark Judgments That Changed India


Asok Kumar Ganguly - 2015
    Of these, it is the judiciary’s task to uphold constitutional values and ensure justice for all. The interpretation and application of constitutional values by the judicial system has had far-reaching impact, often even altering provisions of the Constitution itself. Although our legal system was originally based on the broad principles of the English common law, over the years it has been adapted to Indian traditions and been changed, for the better, by certain landmark verdicts.In Landmark Judgments that Changed India, former Supreme Court judge and eminent jurist Asok Kumar Ganguly analyses certain cases that led to the formation of new laws and changes to the legal system. Discussed in this book are judgments in cases such as Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala that curtailed the power of Parliament to amend the Constitution; Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India and Others that defined personal liberty; and Golaknath v. State of Punjab, where it was ruled that amendments which infringe upon fundamental rights cannot be passed.Of special significance for law students and practitioners, this book is also an ideal guide for anyone interested in the changes made to Indian laws down the years, and the evolution of the judicial system to what it is today.
