PREM L. NAIN (1930 – 2008) was born in Pakistan. At the age of nine, he lost his father, and his eldest brother, Jethanand L. Nain, 20 years his senior, brought him up as his son. Inspired by J.L. Nain who was a barrister at law, Prem completed his LLB from Government Law College, Bombay, and went on to become a leading advocate and senior counsel at the Bombay High Court. He specialized in company and inheritance matters and was on the board of directors for several companies in Mumbai.
Though an accomplished lawyer, he had a fun loving nature and was widely loved by those who knew him. He was spiritual but at the same time loved narrating children's stories and his witty remarks and amicable nature made him extremely popular with children of all ages.
Unknown to even members of his family was Mr Nain's philanthropic trait. His charitable disposition found manifestation in acts and deeds
geared towards helping the poor and the needy.
His passion for writing was discovered after his demise. Panajpur Express is a collection of his writings, penned during his long legal career. It is being published posthumously by his children Bina Khiani and Madan Nain, as a tribute to their father.
1935, a British-ruled India: When hardly any legal practitioners of Indian origin were allowed to practice, Paresh Rastogi, a young and righteous lawyer, arrives in the quaint town of Panajpur to set up his own legal practice. But soon, he is met with racist judges and uncooperative government officials who want to make his life very difficult.
Being new in town, Paresh faces jealousy, contempt and even hatred from several senior lawyers who find his honest ways a threat. The cases that appear simple at first, take him through a trail of twists and turns, making him look deeper and dwell into his own values. Not only does Panajpur present itself with an unseemly animosity towards Paresh, but also makes him encounter with corrupt and power-hungry people. This honest lawyer is challenged again and again and torn apart on the decision of siding with the right or the wrong, while the line between the two keeps blurring.
Will Paresh be able to stand against all adversities of the new town or will he become the very thing he hated?
