Justice Mishra explained how law and literature are connected, like two friends.
He said that laws tell us how to behave, and literature, through stories and movies, shows us how people act, which can reflect those laws.
He gave examples from famous books, plays, and movies like 'Chha Mana Athaguntha' and 'Merchants of Venice,' showing how literature can highlight laws and injustices.

In short, both help us learn about society and how we should treat each other.
