Sometimes those who fight a legal case... all alone, are rewarded with a beautiful resort place within a forest...

Sometimes those who fight a legal case... all alone, are rewarded with a beautiful resort place within a forest....

The Case: Government issued a notifications declaring a large area of land as "Forest Land"...

Many owners of land in this notified area were affected... Most of them did not fight.

One person decided to fight. He met a lawyer. He questioned and challenged the notification.

After many years, High Court accepted his case and the notification was set aside and declared illegal.

Government came to Supreme Court against High Court order.

Supreme Court clarified that notification is set aside only for the one person who challenged the notification.

It means that those who did not came to fight legal case, will not get any benefit.

So now in this large forest area,.... only this one man's land will be his own.... He will probably built there a tourist resort ... 🌼

Yesterday, I received a brilliant email in appreciation of my poems type book about Judges and Lawyers. I have quoted the letter below

Yesterday, I received a brilliant email in appreciation of my book. I have quoted the letter below as it is without editing :

Respctd. Sir,

I am Advocate Prachi Gupta, 2015 law graduate, learning the nuanses of practicing at Delhi High Court. I was buying a Bare Act when I found your novel Tomato Soup Vol.2 with the seller and the Prefaces were so amusing that I bought it then and there.

Although I could not find Vol.1 but I have asked the seller guy to get it for me if he could, by some ways.

Honestly, I love these short snippets that happen in courts on a day to day basis and I too have inherited the "Pata hai aaj court me kya hua...!" genes from my dad who is a Sessions Judge, in Delhi Distt. Courts. Thus the lamas talking about the wiring of judges and lawyers was on point and much relatable.

The incident of a lawyer sleeping for courts been closed for 15 years was just bang on, sir!!!!

I am of no stature to review the book written by a lawyer of such a high standing, but I could not stop myself from appreciating your work sir. I hope someday I ll also be able to see my transition from an Advocate to Lawyer to Senior Advocate :D.

Barring few spelling mistakes, the book is a must read and really looking forward to "Ek tha tiger, ek thi Cow". Aah! The counter FIRs and compromises and quashings.

I hope that Tomato Soup series does get a publisher for it to rock the stacks of Courts, Bar rooms and cafeterias. Best wishes sir. May the force be with you :)

Thanks.
Sincere Regards.

PRACHI GUPTA, Advocate

Suppose if "One Category Number" is fixed for same type of cases, in courts, all over India?

💞🌼 Suppose if "One Category Number" is fixed for same type of cases, in courts,  all over India?

Suppose there are cases were landlord is seeking eviction of tennant. Suppose all those type of cases in India are given one category number like 99999991...

Cases were landlord is above age 60, then category 99999992
Cases where landlord is a lady, then category 99999993 etc..

Cases where rape victim is below age 18 then category 88888881
Cases where rape victim is above age 40 then category 88888887

Then what will happen?

It will be easier to club for all courts in India to club all such cases in category number 99999991.

Then they can be clubbed together. The case laws on these type of cases can be easily clubbed and seen from across India from all High Courts.

If fact justice can speed up faster if a "Common all India level categories" are determined and published.

Once such list of categories is published, it can be left on all High Courts to accept it or not as per their regional requirements.. Most probably all High courts will welcome it.

May be some software engineers can also help by developing  such software.

I think this can speed up justice.

Just Imagine what may happen if Courts permit Amazon, Flipkart, etc to serve court summonses

Imagine ! Just Imagine what may happen if Courts permit Amazon, Flipkart, etc to serve court summonses to parties !

They will not only fast serve the parties but will also upload photos of party served along with his signature on mobile software....

Then serving of parties will not be a problem for courts in India. Even if the addresses were incomplete, these private services will find out and serve the party from their database.

They will also find out mobile numbers of parties with help of Facebook, WhatsApp, Airtel and other services.

In other words, once these private process servers are allowed, the justice could be faster....much faster...

Just imagine.

Concerns about abuse of Social media by rival paid groups and concerns suggesting an Auto Regulator

Concerns on social media abuses by rival paid groups of social media :-

1) If a crowd or mob on social media goes wild afater someone, only blocking one or two tabs on search words can silence the whole mob.

2) This will need a Regulator and a regulatory authority.

3) What if this authority becomes biased or purchased? It will curb abuse of one section and will allow abuse by another section.

4) What if there is a mechanism by which all readers can individually report and abuse is blocked by an automatic software when certain minimum number of requests are made?

5) Is this possible? Is this possible in India?

....Yesterday, I heard that a 17year old girl drank bottle of mosquito repellent liquid....

......Yesterday, I heard that a 17year old girl drank bottle of mosquito repellent liquid....

Now Try to See Legal and Social Consequences to her future husband and future in-Laws :-

1) Since attempt to suicide is now not considered offense, parents could get immediate treatment in hospital. The girl recovered fast. The episode ended peacefully.

2) The girl has history of being stubborn, too much demanding, mood disorders, and desires to control parents with threat to commit suicide if her wishes are not met.

3) The parents will probably hide such history from future would be husband and in laws. 

4) In future, if such incident happen at her matrimonial home, her husband and in laws may probably have to see jail.

🌼 Now the constructive suggestion : 

If Law is truly an instrument of social engineering, Law should ensure that pre-marriage psychological behaviour of a girl is also given due weightage while considering guilt of her husband and in-laws.

From cases,  I have seen entire families going to jail due to suicide of a wife who had some borderline  personality disorder.
