Synopsis
The Indian court system touches the lives of crores of people, yet for most, it remains unfamiliar and intimidating territory. What does it actually feel like to fight a case for ten years over a family property? To sit in a courtroom on the first hearing, full of expectations, only to be told the judge is on leave? To be an undertrial locked in a crowded jail while your tea shop is demolished and your son drops out of school?
Living Legally answers these questions through ten human stories. Each one follows a different person navigating a different corner of India's legal system: a stressed district judge, a vengeful wife who misuses the law, a greedy senior advocate, a retired landlord fighting a false case, and a Bangalore pensioner who loses his savings to a sophisticated cyber fraud. One story retells the Mahabharata as a corporate property dispute that winds its way from a district court all the way to the Supreme Court of India.
None of these stories are real, but all of them are true to life. Each ends with a plain-language Lessons section pointing readers to the legal options available in similar situations. The book has been updated to reflect India's new criminal laws, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, which came into force in July 2024.
An ideal read for students of law, litigants, and anyone curious about the world behind India's courtroom doors.

Living Legally : Short Stories Based Upon the Indian Court System
Print on DemandSeller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Indian court system is a large institution. There are thousands of cases being heard daily in the different courts of the land, big and small. Some of the cases run into years and others into decades. It thus affects lakhs or crores of people.In this book, we write a few stories illustrating different aspects of the Indian court system, how it affects the common people in different situations of life. One of the stories is interpreting the timeless Indian epic, the Mahabharata, as a dispute fought in the Indian courts. None of these stories are real, any similarity with persons living or dead is purely a matter of coincidence. Our aim is to present the Indian court system from different viewpoints, and thus help the reader to gain an appreciation of the experience of different aspects of the court system for the common man. At the end of each story, we have added a section on lessons to learn from that story. The intention is to show how the common man can succeed in getting justice if they persevere, even if the process is slow and fraught with difficulties. Seller Inventory # 9798215445624
