Prem L. Nain

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.
