In a book that foregrounds the socialist spirit reflected in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution and the egalitarian push enshrined in the Directive Principles, it is disconcerting that Babu and Shetty regularly refer to Iyer as "his lordship", despite the decision taken by Supreme Court judges and the Supreme Court Bar Association back in the early 1970s to abandon the practice.
