GLH

The Gujarat Law Herald was started in the year 1981 under the joint auspices of the Bar Council of Gujarat and Ahmedabad Lawyers' Benevolent Fund and its first issue was published in June, 1981. The Bar Council of Gujarat Initially contributed Rs. 1,00,000 and Bar Council of India Trust also contributed Rs. 25,000 for Publication of GLH. The Very intention of publishing the GLH was to provide latest and important judgements of the High Court of Gujarat as well as Apex Court with Gujarati Section at cheaper rate on one hand and to bring the publishers of local law journals under control as regards the exorbitant increase in the rate of subscription of their publication every year on another hand. It is felt by one and all concerned that we have been successful in our mission.

It is a matter of great pleasure for GLH to state that the Gujarat Law Herald a journal “of the Lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers” is being regularly published on “No profit No loss Basis” and the same is the only law journal of its kind, published by the State Bar Council of Gujarat in the Country. The advocates are rendering honorary services in this laudable project by sparing time from their busy schedule and the sincere and who hearted efforts of one and all concerned have earned credit for our journal and has build up its goodwill in as much as the same has been appreciated by the Humble judges of the High Court of Gujarat as well as Supreme Court, Senior Lawyers, Bar, Bench and litigating public and the reporting of GLH is now considered reliable.

The Bar Council of Gujarat is now publishing GLH independently since 1994 and has made several changes as regards its layout as well as quality of paper and printings and has also increased the number of pages for reported judgements without increasing the rate of subscription for a long time amidst various constraints, and has put all its efforts for making GLH more useful and impressive which is also an experienced fact.

One of the important problems of GLH was regarding the office premises, as GLH was not having its own and independent office to carry out its activities. Since the Bar Council of Gujarat has decided to have own office premises for itself as well as for GLH, a feather is added to the credit of GLH as Late Shri Shashikant A. Lakhani Charitable Trust has donated office premises of about 883 sq.ft. Area especially for the activities of GLH. This is the kind gesture on the part of Shri Yogesh S. Lakhani, Member, BCG and Hon. Editor, GLH and his family members. Bar Council of Gujarat and GLH, sincerely thank Mr. Y. S. Lakhani and all his family members for the same. GLH also put on record on its sincere thanks to Shri Bahadursinh S. Jadeja, Chairman, BCG and all the members of the Bar Council for furnishing the said office premises of Gujarat Law Herald.

GLH is hopeful that the new and pleasant environment will provide encouragement to the young team of the editors of GLH in further taking GLH to its highest position of repute and render better services to its subscribers, Bar, Bench, Litigating public and all concerned and thereby help the cause of the Bar Council of Gujarat which will go a long way in the matter of publication of the Bar Council of Gujarat which will go a long way in the matter of publication of GLH and will leave behind them a glorious path of success for their successors to follow in future.

At this golden era in the history of GLH. GLH Could not control its excitement to make a strong appeal to all the member of the legal fraternity in the State of Gujarat to appreciate the gesture of the Bar Council of Gujarat and subscribe for their own GLH. GLH is confident that in near future it will Adorn the library of every lawyer of Gujarat.
