Law BookCivil Practical Legal Drafts
Sushan Kunjuraman's Civil Practical Legal Drafts, 2nd Edition, is the civil-side counterpart to the same author's Criminal Practical Legal Drafts — a working drafting manual rather than a bare act, at 420 pages. What stands out here is the sheer breadth of forums covered: formats for High Courts, City Civil Courts, Small Cause Courts, Co-operative Courts, Central Administrative Tribunals, Consumer Courts, Labour Courts, Motor Accident Claims Tribunals, and Family Courts, along with formats for Divisional Jt. Registrar Courts, Registrar Courts, and the Charity Commissioner's Court — jurisdictions that most drafting books leave out entirely. It also includes practical essentials like Legal Notice formats, General Correspondence formats, and dedicated drafts for Injunctions and Specific Performance Suits — two of the most frequently filed civil reliefs. For civil practitioners who work across multiple forums rather than a single court, this genuinely saves the trouble of hunting down separate specialized drafting manuals for each one.
