About The Book: The Administration of Justice in Southern India by John Bruce Norton is a critical examination of colonial judicial practices in South India under British rule. Norton, drawing on his experience as Advocate-General, highlights systemic issues, including delays, corruption, and the alien nature of British laws imposed on native populations. He advocates for reforms to align the justice system more closely with local customs and needs, aiming for a fairer, more efficient legal framework. The book remains a valuable historical and legal reference.
