520			_aVictorian novelist Charles Dickens penned numerous works that saw immense popularity in their day. Simultaneously, his writings highlighted several social issues and problems, leading to concrete social reform. Not only do his works continue to be read and admired across the world, courts in many countries have referred to his books in their judgments. This includes Indian courts, with the Supreme Court and several high courts having quoted or referenced a number of his works (among them The Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby, Bleak House, and Oliver Twist) in various judgments. The present paper seeks to consider the judgments of Indian courts which have cited the works of Dickens and look into the issues on which, and the purposes for which such reference has been made. The paper further enquires into the reasons why an English novelist, whose works are over a 150 years old, continues to remain relevant in the present context and for the courts.- Reproduced http://14.139.60.116:8080/jspui/bitstream/123456789/48205/1/19_Literary%20Referencing%20in%20Indian%20Courts-%20The%20Instance%20of%20Charles%20Dickens.pdf
