Social Science / Activism & Social Justice

Description

I Got Justice is a powerful, deeply reflective narrative drawn from the six-decade legal journey of Dr. Pratap Narayan Agrawal—advocate, public prosecutor, scholar, and an unwavering seeker of truth. Through real cases, lived experiences, and landmark public interest litigations, the book exposes the complex realities of India’s justice delivery system and the moral battles fought outside and inside the courtroom.

From dramatic sessions trials in the tribal district of Bastar to PILs filed in matters of grave public importance—corruption allegations in the BALCO disinvestment, the tragic deaths of schoolchildren, large-scale tribal suffering due to administrative neglect, abuse of power by bureaucracy, and issues of constitutional identity—the author brings forth stories that challenge the reader to confront the gap between judgment and justice.

Through these cases, Dr. Agrawal raises bold and timeless questions:

Who protects truth when witnesses turn hostile? Why does justice fail despite honest effort? What happens when political power and administrative machinery collide with public welfare?

The book is at once an autobiographical journey and a scholarly critique. It highlights how free legal aid, PILs, and Lok Adalats—designed to empower the poor—often struggle against systemic inertia. Yet, it also affirms the judiciary as the final guardian of public trust.

Co-authored with Advocate Vaibhav Kartikeya, I Got Justice becomes not merely a record of cases, but a quest—a pursuit of justice in a landscape where truth must constantly fight against untruth. It is an essential read for lawyers, students, academicians, policy thinkers, and citizens who believe in the transformative power of law.

A courageous, honest, and thought-provoking work, this book is a tribute to the idea that justice is not a destination, but a lifelong pursuit.
