Abstract

The chapter presents the citation network of a set of land acquisition judgements from the Supreme Court of India and tries to analyse the citation behaviour of the apex court in terms of the network structure. We find that the structure of the network displays ‘small-world’ properties and the degree distribution reveals that most cases are rarely cited and there are only a handful which are cited very often. We also find a significant overlap between the benches of important judgements in the network.
