Dr. Basu was a distinguished Judge of Calcutta High Court. His Commentary on the Constitution of India, written over twenty years ago is still used extensively as the primary treatise on constitutional law. Dr. Basu was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1985. Every year, contemporary topics of constitutional significance are chosen for annual Essay Writing Competition. The themes in the previous years have ranged from the role played by constitutional conventions in India to the use of constitutional power to disqualify a person from contesting democratic elections. This year, the topic has been chosen against the backdrop of the need for promotion of the Fundamental Duties present in our Constitution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>RULES<\/u><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The competition is open for all undergraduate students of law colleges\/departments of law of all Universities, pursuing the 5-year-course or the 3-year-course.
