He examines the statutory foundations, key judicial developments, and the growing influence of international principles that shape how Indian courts treat foreign states and state‑owned entities. By breaking down the distinction between sovereign and commercial acts and outlining the procedural safeguards involved in suing a foreign state, Pradyuman offers readers a clear, practical understanding of a complex and increasingly relevant area of law.
