Trials of Truth:India’s Landmark Criminal Cases
Pinky Anand
Senior Advocate &Former Additional Solicitor General
The book deals with some of the landmark criminal cases and provides an insight into their proceedings from a lawyer’s perspective. Through this book, the readers have a chance to relive the cases that horrified, shocked and sometimes even divided the country.
While Pinky Anand has had the chance to be involved in some of these cases herself, her keen insights and research skills are apparent in the manner she has presented them. She gives us a lawyer’s perspective on each case; a ringside view of some of the sensational trials. It includes the Rajiv Gandhi murder case, Nithari Killings, Nirbhaya, Jessica Lal and Nanavati murder case, combining simplicity and accuracy to interpret complex legal cases.
This is an attempt to involve persons dealing with constitutional responsibilities to involve themselves in public discussions. Two common threads running through the 10 chapters of this 200-odd page book are how some of the cases affected society and how society intervened to change the course of the trial.

Pinky Anand
A close look at criminal cases that shocked the country. Drawing on her vast experience as a senior advocate and Additional Solicitor General at the Supreme Court, Pinky Anand examines criminal cases that have captured public interest. Breaking down each aspect of cases such as the Nirbhaya rape, the Nanavati murder, the Nithari killings and others, she gives us an inside look and lawyer’s perspective into the manner of legal proceedings, strategies employed by legal counsel on both sides and the rigour with which courts come to verdicts.
Even years after they have been tried in court, these instances are cemented in people’s memories on account of either their brutality, the trials or the landmark judgments they resulted in. Anand’s insights not only delve into the finer details but also provide context to the cases that have had a lasting impact on society as well as legal institutions.
