About this listen
Included within: The Full Review by the late Khushwant Singh of Rajesh Talwar’s 1995 classic ‘Courting Justice: The Terrible Truth About Our Courts.
Courting Justice: The Terrible Truth About Our Courts was first published in 1995 and created a sensation at the time. The text of the original book remains the same; however, at the end of each chapter there is an update. Most of the book still remains relevant to the present times and is being republished in Kindle format for this reason.
It introduces in its first section, named Part 1 those who form at the grass root level the dramatis personae or the cast: important functionaries such as the clerk, the judge, the lawyer, the witness, the policeman and the tout. This book is not only important because it focuses on malpractices and corruption at the Courts but because it will give to the reader a sense of the atmosphere at the trial court where judicial proceedings are being conducted in the vast majority of cases. Part 2 of the book under the heading ‘Common Litigation’ discusses some areas of legal reform in certain common civil litigation: landlord-tenant disputes, matrimonial disputes, etc. It also discusses the criminal justice system in the chapter: Who Will Police the Police? The necessity to restructure our tax laws has also been discussed in this part of the book. Part 3 discusses ‘Uncommon Litigation’ viz those disputes which though concerned with the very basic issues of the rights of the citizen vis a vis the state and other citizens rarely ever surface in the Court room and the reasons for this. Part 4 is Solution with a question mark. The question mark is there to indicate that actually no solution is being offered. Some suggestions have of course been made and it is hoped that these will stimulate further discussion on the process of judicial reform.
