On Sunday, Tushar Mehta, the Solicitor General of India, launched two non-fiction books titled 'The Bench, The Bar and the Bizarre' and 'The Lawful and the Awful' at an event in New Delhi attended by legal luminaries, judges, and politicians. Through these works, Mehta explores the lighter aspects of the legal profession, drawing on real courtroom anecdotes from foreign jurisdictions, deliberately omitting references to Indian courts and judges to maintain his legal practice in India. He emphasized that the books are not academic critiques but collections of true stories, designed to strip away the intimidating image of the legal profession. Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Justice of India Surya Kant both spoke at the event, with Shah humorously noting that his attendance would be viewed politically, while Justice Kant praised Mehta's ability to capture the human comedy within the legal system. The Chief Justice also suggested that Mehta's next book could focus on the Indian legal system, highlighting the wealth of comical tales available within Indian courtrooms. Overall, Mehta's books aim to make the law more accessible and relatable to the general public.
