What You’ll Find Inside This Book:
This book is a tribute to those brave souls who enter the courtroom not just to fight cases, but to survive heat, confusion, paperwork, and the mystery of “Who actually knows what’s going on here?”
Let’s begin with our heroes:
Lawyers – Those black-coated warriors who dress like winter has arrived… even in 48°C heat. You’ll find them sweating more than the accused, but still standing with pride like they’ve just won a Filmfare Award for “Best Drama in a Bail Plea.”
They carry files thicker than wedding albums, use Latin words no one understands (not even them), and begin every sentence with “With all due respect…” just before disrespecting the opposite lawyer's entire education.
Judges – Legends who can sit for hours without blinking, without moving, and somehow still know when to say “Next date?”
Their post-lunch expressions are so peaceful, even yoga instructors feel jealous.
And the biggest courtroom mystery? Whether the judge is listening, meditating, or quietly planning dinner.
Opposite Counsels – They are trained to say “Objection!” the way we say “Hello.”
Whether it’s a murder case or someone lost their cat – “Objection!”
Sometimes, even the judge looks confused: “Objection to what?”
“To the tone, Your Honor. Very objectionable.”
Clerks – The true multitasking masters.
They type, file, gossip, print, listen to cricket commentary, and drink tea — all at once.
Need your file today? Sure. Just submit 4 forms, 3 passport-size photos, 2 copies of your Aadhaar, and one packet of Parle-G biscuits.
And then, there’s the courtroom chaos:
Love stories that begin during 15-year-old land disputes.
By the time the case ends, the lawyers are married, divorced, and remarried — all during lunch breaks.
Judgments sent as WhatsApp voice notes because the judge’s laptop hung, and the stenographer was on sick leave (due to stress from the last WhatsApp judgment).
Witnesses who speak like poets:
"Main wahaan tha, par sab kuch andhera tha,
Jab chaku chala, main sirf daaru mein dooba tha."
Advocates who ask for adjournments because “client ki tabiyat kharaab hai” — which usually means “client just didn’t feel like coming.”
Other famous excuses:
Scooter got flooded.
Internet was down.
Pet dog was in depression.
Horoscope said “Don’t argue today.”
Technology in court? That’s a different joke altogether.
Once, a lawyer tried to present an email, but it took 20 minutes just to connect the projector.
Another time, Wi-Fi was so slow that Mr. B filed a petition claiming “Digital Torture.”
His lawyer argued: “If YouTube buffers for 10 minutes, it’s mental cruelty, Your Honor.”
Sometimes, the court becomes a mini-theatre:
A man once brought a chappal as “Exhibit A” in a fight case.
The chappal mysteriously disappeared, only to be seen later on a peon’s foot.
One advocate cross-examined a parrot. Yes, a real parrot.
It said, “Tota hoon, jhooth nahi bolta.” The judge agreed.
Lunch time in court? That’s when real justice is served.
Butter chicken is more punctual than most lawyers.
One hearing had to pause because someone’s Zomato order arrived at the judge’s bench.
The judge, with full dignity, simply said, “Smells like contempt.”
And the most shocking part?
All of this happens under oath.
In the name of truth, justice, and samosa breaks.
So buckle up. This isn’t just a book — it’s a guided tour of India’s funniest courtroom dramas, starring real people, real chaos, and really questionable logic.
Entry free. Bail extra.
