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 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.
