New Delhi [India], September 17: “The book Life Beyond Judicial Desk”, as the title suggests, gives a deep insight into the history of the Allahabad High Court. The feature of this book is that it is not like any other typical law book, but rather is a combination of legal history and some untold stories from the Allahabad High Court. It starts with a unique story of how Justice Sir John Gibb Thoms opposed the executive interference in Judicial matters, an instance leading to the “judicial independence” long before it became a topic of discussion throughout.
The book discusses how the Allahabad High Court came into existence, the rich history of its bar associations: Oudh Bar Association and High Court Bar Association and also its prominent members.
One of the striking features of the book is the in-depth discussion of the “Jurisdiction” issue. Mr. Prakarsh has discussed all the relevant cases like Nirmal Das Khaturia and Nasiruddin.
