Mr N.S. Bindra is an eminent counsel, an author of repute of "The Interpretation of Statutes" and a contributor to this esteemed Journal. In his article Mr Bindra has strongly criticised our two articles on two Supreme Court decisions in Gopalan's case and Mohammed Yamin's case. According to Mr Bindra, our criticism of these two Supreme Court decisions "is absolutely misconceived and entirely misleading" and that "much of the research made and exhibited" in our two articles is "otiose". For all his errors we welcome Mr Bindra's article and take his criticism, though erroneous and unjustified in our stride as part of the debate and dialogue on the subject. In the words of Mr Justice Holmes, "the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market" or in the words of Mr Justice Cardozo,"The tide rises and falls, but the sands of error crumble."
