"Reading law books is a lawyer’s lot and a judge’s too. Rarely is it a delight, for most
are usually verbose and repetitive with one too many ‘cuttings and pastings’. But
recently I came across one law book that made me read it cover to cover in one go. It
enlightened me. I could grasp the nuances of what I’d believed to be a dry subject: the
Commercial Courts Act.
No wonder, Sharath Chandran’s Commentary on the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 is
rushing into a second edition within no time. Literally.
On his spectacular success in bringing out a brilliant book, I congratulate the learned
author and wish him many more editions of the book."
