 Sri L. D. GogiaHe was born on 1932. and migrated to India at the time of partition, went through and endured tumultuous life phases, risen to unsurpassable heights in life and profession. Thus, having led a fruitful and eventful life, he left for his heavenly abode on 19-12-2011. He is survived by his wife, three sons and two daughters. Reminiscing on his life, Sri LD Gogia had to spend his childhood in an atmosphere of abject poverty. His student life was fraught with financial constraints and restraints. But penury did not dampen his spirits and hamper his cherished goals of life. He swam against tidal waves of traumatic circumstances and by indomitable courage of conviction, unstinted industry and dauntless spirit, he had risen from the pangs of poverty and reached the pinnacle of glory.This spectacular and meteoric rise from penury to pivotal position was made possible due to his sustained and tireless efforts. As a result, he made himself a legend in his own life time. Shri L.D. Gogia was the founder of Asia Law House. He first obtained copyright of Andhra Law Times from M.L. Tilak in 1977. Then he played a historic role in purchasing the copyright of Supreme Court Journal, which was established in 1938 and which had earned unique reputation and an abiding place in public estimation, from M.L.J. Publications and revitalized the journal in such a way as to bring it to its present glorious heights. He had not only brought his brothers but also his near relatives into the business of publishing and selling law books throughout India, leading a remarkable career of success and fulfilment. At the time when he started business of publishing law books and journals, there was not even a single publisher in Andhra Pradesh. He was the first publisher of law books and journals in A.P. This business has been widely expanded in all proportions with publishing of sizable number of law journals viz. Andhra Law Times, Andhra Law Times (Criminal), Andhra Law Times (Revenue) , Andhra Law Times (Legislative Supplement), and Andhra Weekly Reporter (reporting cases on Motor Accidents) besides publishing law books. The reach of these journals is extensive, stretching across States such as Orissa, Kerala and Karnataka. Shri L.D. Gogia last ambition was to bring out ALT in digital form, which had since been fulfilled weeks before his heavenly sojourn. His promising son Sri Manohar Gogia, true to the spirit and cherished goals of their father, have rededicated themselves to uphold and carry to still greater heights the banner of ALT, with their devotion and dedication, as they are aware that this is the only way they can pay true tribute to their great and illustrious father. |

CHIEF JUSTICE OF ANDHRA23-6-1954The Andhra Law Times is being started at a very appropriate moment coinciding as it does with the establishment of a separate High Court for the Andhra State. Efficient administration of of law depends on its ultimate analysis on the scrupulous and conscientious performance by judges and lawyers of thier respective duties. Law journals have a notable part to play in helping both the Bench and the Bar to properly discharge their obligations. The Andhra Law Times has the advantage of having a ditinguished Editorial Board and is also fortified by the association of young advocates with its management. with this combination of experience and enthusiasm, the Andhra Law Times should develop into a valuable legal journal and prove to be a great service to the legal profession. I extend my most sincere good wishes to the Andhra Law Times. K.SUBBA RAO
