This book was well received and commended by the legal professionals as well as by the lay public. This edition begins by explaining the origin of the word Bench as to how the newly appointed Judge sat on a wide Bench on his first sitting with his family members and friends while a welcome address was offered by the lawyers. The word Bar has its origin in a regular Bar which divided the sitting arrangement between Judges and Lawyers. It continues with stories set up as a group under distinct titles of the chapters. For example, it has a chapter on humour in court. One witness who was evidently throughout his deposition prevaricating and was admonished by the court protested by saying "But My Lord I was wedded to truth". The Judge queried, when did you become a 'divorcee?'. It has chapters on courageous lawyers, as also lawyers who were known for their quick wit. It has stories about destiny. It tells us how Nani Palkhivala, (described by C.K. Daphtary as one in a century) chose the legal profession just because in the first instance he was not appointed as professor of English in the University of Bombay, though he was best qualified for the post. In the present second edition there are over twenty-five more stories.... less

Today, We frequently hear the Cacophony about crime against women; women`s nightmares as well as women empowerment. The newspapers` pages and T.V. channel programmes are flooded with reports on such matters; debates, seminars and conferences are organised on these valunerable issues; laws are amended to protect the women, still we observe that not much has changed to mitigate the plight and the ailing condition of women at large. This all is happening despite of the fact that woman is endowed by Nature with virtually inherent capacity to possess invincible energy and panurgy. However, to emancipate woman from the shackles of miseries, what all we require is to tell her: Woman, Know Thyself: Law Relating to Women in India. The society needs to convince the women: Identify your ingress, realise your worth, invigorate your actions and inosculate with male counterparts to perform alongside. As such, women have an innate quality of multi-tasking. There is so much potential in each woman that it only needs to be explored and put to use with confidence. In view of the above, the authors have tried hard to instill confidence in women by hiughlighting women`s dignity in historical perspective; their social and economic status in the past and the present; suggesting solutions to avert the problems faced by the women such as female foeticide; rape and molestation; impact of violent media on women`s safety; honour killing; live-in relationship; kidnapping & abduction; acid attacks on women and other aspects of their physical and emotional security. The authors Dr. Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgtal, a sitting judge of High Court of Delhi, and Hasan Khurshid, a Journalist, have not only highlighted and discussed various aspects and issues of the women but have also provided the detailed list of the Constitutional and legal safeguards available to women in India in a single compilation in the form of this book.... less

The concept of businesses giving back to society ... more

The concept of businesses giving back to society is as old as commerce, variously known as charity, philanthropy, social work, etc. With the advent of modern businesses, this giving back is more systematised and is variously known as CSR, sustainability, corporate citizenship or shared value. Still, CSR is often unstructured, ambiguous and nebulous, in part because it deals with subjects that often defy precision and standardisation. Being an evolving discipline, CSR lacks a universally agreed theory to address issues of organisation, structure, strategy, culture, frameworks, etc. that are standard for other corporate disciplines. The Companies Act, 2013 has added to the complexity by 'mandating' corporate spends on CSR, directing where such money is to be spent and requiring Board and senior management attention. For too long CSR in India had been left to non-directional, haphazard do-gooding; 'Governance' the process through which decisions are taken of CSR through the law is expected to inject greater professionalism in the full range of CSR operations. This book is a contribution to the effort to reduce some of the nebulousness that characterises CSR and bridge the gap in systemic formality between CSR and other disciplines. It is expected to be a reference book for corporates, a handbook for practitioners including NGOs and implementing partners and a resource book for academicians. The book draws on international and national best practices, academic theories and examples from ground-level work. It is designed as a go-to publication for all facets of sustainability, both operations and governance, to improve accountability and transparency of all constituents of CSR.... less
