‘The book on “Jurisprudence of Privacy” is a valiant attempt to trace the historical evolution of privacy in the context of jurisprudence from across the world. The book also conducts an in-depth analysis of the interface of privacy and defamation, the test of proportionality, privacy and the State, etc. The book also quotes diverse academic papers, judicial decisions and various other books ‘on the subject.
The authors have dealt with various dimensions of privacy including the data of privacy, protection of data and the challenges that the digital era poses to privacy. The discussion on the Data Protection bill in the context of the GDPR from the EU, as also the responsibilty of intermediaries is quite exhaustive. The balance between protection of data and the utilization of data is a vexed issue which has been dealt with. Exceptions o privacy have also been elaborated in detail, The delineation between physical privacy, family privacy, commercial privacy, communication privacy and the distinct approaches towards each of these faces of privacy shows a refreshing approach towards privacy.
The book would be a ready source for lawyers, law students, industry representatives, policy seekers and policy makers, governmental authorities and even to judges.
I wish the authors and publishers success in the publication of the book.

Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 is a recent enactment of parliament, which has gained importance, considering the number of offences of money laundering alleged to be committed in recent times. There was therefore need for a comprehensive book on the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and the Rules made thereunder. The Law of Prevention of Money Laundering authored by Mr. R.K.Naroola, Advocate and Mr. Udayan Mukerji, a retired officer of the Indian Police Service, and published by OakBridge meets this need. On a cursory glance of the different chapters of this book, I find that almost all aspects of the Law Prevention of Money Laundering and the likely issues that may arise under this law have been covered in the book. I have no doubt that the book will be useful to not only Lawyers and Judges but also to the investigation agencies and all others interested to know the law on the subject.

Book on Law of Bail by Senior Partners R K Naroola and Udayan Mukerji foreword by Retired Supreme Court Justice Sikri and Introduction by Prof. Moolchand, former Member Law Commission.
This work engages with one of the most critical aspects of criminal jurisprudence—the delicate balance between personal liberty and the interests of justice. Rooted in constitutional values and shaped by evolving judicial interpretation, the law of bail reflects the fundamental presumption of innocence and the need for fairness in the legal process. As highlighted throughout, the exercise of judicial discretion must remain principled, consistent, and humane. This book makes a valuable contribution by examining the nuances, challenges, and inconsistencies in bail jurisprudence, while offering clarity and insight. It will serve as a useful resource for practitioners, scholars, and all those committed to the rule of law.
