520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. The shadow of Justice Arun Kumar Mishra looms large over some of the most sensational cases handled by the Supreme Court of India during the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Be it the mysterious death of Judge B. H. Loya or the daylight murder of Modi’s one-time political bête noire in Gujarat, Haren Pandya, the imprint of Justice Mishra has been stamped heavily on these cases. The book analyses various judgments by Justice Mishra on some of the country’s most controversial incidents: the sexual harassment allegations against the then Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi, the role of another CJI, Dipak Misra, in the medical college recognition scandal, the Sahara-Birla diaries aff air, the issue of public interest in the Tata Group’s Nano car project in Singur, West Bengal, the conviction and arrest of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav in the fodder scam probe, the life imprisonment of police officer Sanjiv Bhatt, the dilution of the Forest Rights Act, the demolition of apartment complexes in Kerala, the incarceration of journalist Gautam Navlakha, advocate Prashant Bhushan being held guilty of contempt of court, and cases involving the two most powerful business houses of India — the Adani Group and the Reliance Group.<br/><br/>
