Behind the Bookshelves is a segment where we delve into the reading habits of trailblazers and news makers from across the legal fraternity.

In the fifth edition of this series, we catch a glimpse of the reading preferences of Senior Counsel Navroz Seervai. He reveals that right from his childhood, reading was as constant a fixture in the Seervai household as law was.

From Dickens to Tolstoy, Austen to Ishiguro, Seervai highlights his favourite authors and genres of the literary universe.

Stick around for the end, where Khaitan & Co Partner Nandini Khaitan cross-examines the Senior Counsel on his knowledge of poetry!
