Selected Leading Case Laws For Judicial Service Examinations

This book provides subject-wise, section/ topic-wise selected cases/ maxims and covers major subjects for all States. This book will be very beneficial for Prelims, Mains and Interviews.

The primary objective of this book is to streamline the material that students need to read and memorize for both preliminary (for direct and conceptual questions) and mains examinations. By focusing solely on the most relevant cases for exam requirements, this book minimizes the material while ensuring comprehensive coverage.

To effectively memorize a case law for prelims or deeply understand the legal points for mains, it is crucial to read the entire discussion around its ratio. This book organizes all relevant case laws subject-wise and section-wise, including actual excerpts/extracts from judgments instead of summaries. Where necessary, the ratio is concisely provided, with detailed discussions included wherever required. Certain notes are added for clarification in specific cases.

Key portions of the extracts are bolded to help readers quickly grasp the main points of each judgment. Reading these excerpts enables students to understand core issues and judicial reasoning without reading each judgment in full, enhancing comprehension and aiding in crafting effective mains answers. Additionally, cases related to DJS mains PYQs are distinctly highlighted with an asterisk (*). Beyond case laws, the book includes important maxims and theoretical pointers for subjects like Family Law and Torts.

This book covers all major and most of the minor laws tested in various judiciary exams, including those in Delhi (DJS), Haryana (HJS), Madhya Pradesh (MPCJ), Rajasthan (RJS), Uttar Pradesh (UPPCSJ), Chhattisgarh, and others. Though the book might look extensive at first, the bolded portions enable a thorough revision of the same in a short span of time, making it suitable for efficient last-minute revision. With evolving exam patterns and new laws, this book is an indispensable resource, guiding aspirants through changing requirements.
