Chandrachud’s writing is simple for the lay reader and yet holds the attention of both the lawyer and the legal scholar. The book ignites interest in the law and in our Constitution, and is also a must-read for those who are in the legal profession. Chandrachud’s book is eminently readable. You will enjoy it thoroughly.’  \nZia Mody  \n‘Stories, well-told, are more readable than judgements of courts. And this is a book of stories about select cases, written in a style that would have pleased the great master of law and language, Lord Denning. It is a must-read. Once you read them you will never forget them.’  \nFali Nariman  \n‘The Supreme Court of India has come to occupy centre space in public discourse and consciousness. This puts the Court in the unenviable position of being the cynosure of public attention – and concomitant public scrutiny. An exposition of the setting and context in which important cases were decided would help the informed lay opinion maker demystify the Court. The author has wisely chosen issues of contemporary relevance which were addressed in forgotten cases and presented them in a style that identifies the strengths but also spots the moments of weakness of the institution. A must-read for those interested in understanding the working of our powerful Court.’  \nHarish Salve  \n‘There’s nothing more riveting than the well-told account of a complex court case, where intriguing arguments collide with each other whilst the fate of real people hangs precariously in the balance. That’s what makes this collection of stories irresistible. If you are a fan of Perry Mason or Rumpole of the Bailey, these real-life accounts will take you to the next level – the intriguing twists and turns  \nthat often occur in the defence of our Constitution.’  \nKaran Thapar  \nThe Cases That India Forgot  \nChintan Chandrachud  \nJUGGERNAUT BOOKS  \nKS House, 118 Shahpur Jat, New Delhi 110049, India  \nFirst published by Juggernaut Books 2019  \nCopyright © Chintan Chandrachud 2019  \n10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1  \nThe views and opinions expressed in this book are the author’s own.

One of the early comments that I received was that my writing was still somewhat ‘legalistic’ and difficult to access for those with little or no training in law. This turned out to be a wider complaint against lawyers and legal scholars – that their writing was often hard to read and difficult to understand. The vast majority of writing by lawyers (including commentary which is directed towards the general public) is remarka","cbCaimu6B5x5EPsA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimu6B5x5EPsA","pdf",922834,137,"English","# Preface\n# Contents\n## Part 1: Politics\n## Part 2: Gender\n## Part 3: Religion\n## Part 4: National Security\n# Postscript\n# Notes\n# Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"What is the book’s main focus?\",\"answer\":\"The book tells ten stories about India’s “forgotten” cases—decisions that are not widely remembered but should be.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the book organized?\",\"answer\":\"The cases are divided into four overarching themes: politics, gender, religion, and national security.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the author say legal writing can be hard to access?\",\"answer\":\"The author explains that commentary and legal scholarship are often difficult for lay readers to understand, which became a key motivation for writing the book.\"}]","The Cases That India Forgot - 10 Stories About India’s Forgotten Cases | PDF",1789949329,211]
