Experiencing Trauma

...Dalai Lama assured that “cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove fear… gives us strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter.” Dalia gives a quote to understand about the ways people can see someone complexly.

Legal History

...served the Bombay High Court since its inception in 1862.1 The initial idea was to document one judgment of the First Court from each year which was modified to include a judgment of the Bombay High Court of each year. I soon realized that it was too expansive an idea to merit a single judgment a year. I could collect and collate, as many as ten judgments which would qualify to show the development of the law we desired to portray.

Our Chief Justice Mohit Shah and our Justice Chandrachud wholeheartedly supported the idea to complement the Book published on this the sesquicentennial of our Court. As the number of Judges grew, fewer judgments of each Judge would be selected as illustrations. These judgments are not the only path-finding groundbreaking ones; they are also ones with simplicity and legal elegance. The number of judgments we settled upon just would not permit all deserving judgments to be compiled; only a few have been picked from each year as the first in a series of such compilation.

The selection evinces the fountain of talent that awaits the future. This enumeration is a joint effort, involving...
