If ever a colossus strode across the Indian legal arena, it was once Nani Palkhivala. After a brilliant academic career, he quickly became one of India’s most sought after lawyers and remained at center stage for five decades. Famous for his phenomenal power of concentration and persuasive advocacy, he was once a supremely successful lawyer. Early in his career, he authored probably the most finest commentaries on the law and practice of source of revenue tax. His reputation as a constitutional lawyer is deservedly formidable. Between 1965 and 1995, he argued nearly all important constitutional law cases before the Supreme Court of India: Golak Nath, Bank Nationalisation, Privy Purses, Kesavananda Bharati, St. Xavier’s, Mandal Commission and the Election Commission matter. Palkhivala also represented India in three major international disputes. A man of many parts and strong opinions, he gave critical lectures on the yearly budget, which attracted audiences in far more than 1,00,000. Amazingly, he never referred to a single note. An Atypical human being, he gave generously, but quietly, to charitable causes. This book chronicles Palkhivala’s journey as a lawyer and discusses the important cases in which he gave the impression and that changed the destiny of the country. The book provides a rare insight into his working methods and style of advocacy. No student of law, no lawyer, no chartered accountant, no member of the judiciary and no well-informed citizen can find the money for to miss reading this book.
