If you have ever watched the movie ‘Oh My God’ you will understand how tedious and cumbersome a court trial can be. Kanji Mehta the protagonist can be seen in the movie struggling to understand law, how to file a case, finding legal help etc. I believe that if Kanji had read ‘Indian law for a common man’ he would have spared himself a significant amount of headache and trouble, though I suppose that wouldn’t be good for the movie’s run time ;)
This book ‘Indian law for a common man’ written by Sree Krishna Seelam is just that. It’s another phenomenal book written by the author of 5 killer habits. This book helps its readers to understand the basic fundamentals of Indian law in a mere span of 3 hours. It is written in an easy to read and comprehend manner and does a great job at explaining and simplifying complex matters and legal jargon for a common man with no knowledge of the legal system.
The book begins with a question - Why know the law, and the answer is to know our rights and obligations so that we can live in harmony with the society. The book is divided into sixteen chapters which include our preamble, fundamental rights and duties, the judicial system, criminal law, family law, property law, labor and employment law, Taxation and finance etc. which are further explained in a simple manner.
The book features a chapter towards the end which acts like a comprehensive guide detailing the steps to be taken from filing a case to discussing alternate methods for solving a dispute outside the courtroom, which I believe will be of tremendous help for people looking to do so in addition to the basic knowledge of the law.
The author ends the book by encouraging the readers to fulfill their obligations as a part of the society by voting in elections by realizing the tremendous authority we hold by understanding the phrase in our preamble” we the people of India”.
He urges us to actively participate in public talks to keep the law makers accountable and to keep the law alive and useful for the society. He also urges us to become aware of our rights so that we cannot be manipulated and can stand strong and be able to help others to build a fair and equal society.
