On Sunday evening, the auditorium at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi buzzed with laughter and camaraderie during the launch of two books by Tushar Mehta, the Solicitor General of India. Titled The Bench, the Bar, and the Bizarre and The Lawful and the Awful, these works explore the humorous side of law through true stories rather than fictional anecdotes. Tushar Mehta remarked on the unique perspective of an advocate writing humorously about legal matters, likening it to a surgeon humorously discussing their operating room. Chief Justice Surya Kant praised the books, describing them as engaging reads that blend legal dilemmas with humor. He noted that they invite readers to enjoy courtroom experiences without the usual stress. The event concluded with light-hearted exchanges, including a playful challenge from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding Mehta's choice to omit references to Indian courts, which elicited laughter from the audience.
