NEW DELHI, OCT 15: Bitter over the way he was sacked from the Union cabinet and the way a section of media reported the whole episode, former Law minister Ram Jethmalani plans to present his side of the story through Big Egoes and Small Men, which he says is a book on three conspirators.

quot;I want to present to the people the whole story in one comapct form. At least, my book will go to those who should read my book 8211; important judges in India and abroad and well-known lawyers 8211; and judge the incident,quot; Jethmalani said, a week before the release of the book.

Asked who were the conspirators, the former Law minister said: quot;Chief Justice of India A S Anand, Attorney General Soli Sorabjee and Union Minister Arun Jaitley 8211; who played a key role in my ouster from the Cabinet.quot;

Big Egoes and Small Men starts thus 8211; quot;This book is about an incident in Court No 1 of the Supreme Court of India on 21st July, the likes of which has not smudged ever the copy book of any court in the Commonwealth or the United States.quot;

Narrating sequence of events relating to his differences with Justice Anand over the appointment of Justice retd B M Lal as MRTPC chairman, the book accuses the Chief Justice of converting quot;his administrative fight with the then Law Minister Jethmalani into a judicial one by criticising him in open Court.quot;
