ADVOCATE GENERAL TAUGHT ENGLISH TO ME

Kanhaiya Lal Misra (31.08.1903 – 14.10.1975)

Summary: This is second part of the series 'Command Over Language Is An Asset' told through life of Kanhaiya Lal Misra. 

In this and next post, we will briefly talk about life sketch of Kanhaiya Lal Misra and what I heard about him in the corridors of the Allahabad High Court. 

In other tributes to KL Misra, different words for the same incident are used. However, they are equally, if not more praise worthy than my description. 

I have described them as I have heard in the corridors of the Allahabad High Court.
