‘This book is a pleasant read on a Saturday afternoon, andeaves the reader with an intriguing

mix of sadness and happiness.’

—P. Chidambaram, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha

The year was 1948, and aandmark verdict was handed down by the Privy Council, the highest

court of appeal for the entire Commonwealth, at the time. For the first time in the history of the

Empire, a subject had won against the British Empire. In 1937, Inder Mohanall, an Indian Civil

Service (ICS) officer, invited the wrath of the Empire when he stood up to protect India’s national

treasures. It cost him dearly, as it manifested in his suspension from service as the district and

sessions judge. This marked the beginning of aong battle for justice, which concluded in 1948 with the Privy Council reversing his dismissal and his reinstatement in the verdict of High Commissioner

for India and the High Commissioner for Pakistan vs. I.M.all. This case formed the foundation

of Article 311 of the Constitution of India, stipulating due process to be followed before any civil

service officer is removed or reduced in rank.

At the Pleasure of His Majesty provides a detailed overview of the case as well as the events thated

up to it, including what his Hindu family based inahore went through during Partition.
