Creating Legal India: Colonialism and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
| The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was the final court of appeal for legal disputes from all corners of the British colonial world. This paper asserts that it played a critical role in the creation of a “centripetal jurisprudence” of empire—the homogenization of local legal economies through the application of precedents from communities and contexts across the empire. The paper focuses upon the Privy Council’s role in the creation of legal India, a phenomenon that has been overshadowed by other forms of colonial state “summarizing” like the census. The court served not only as an organ through which the customs and practices of the subcontinent were compressed into conformity with each other. It also acted as a forum where members of the legal profession both gained and worked to formulate a legal awareness that was pan-Indian in scope.
