SUDHAR GHAR He has depicted the Exploitative and Destructive character of third Agency of Criminal Justice System i.e. Jail Administration, in the novel Sudhar Ghar.

Sudhar Ghar novel has beautifully answered these questions. Like his previous creations, this novel has also got the attention of all concerned. In reorganization of its merit, Sahit Academy New Delhi awarded him the prestigious Sahit Academy Award in 2008. Up to now 6 editions of this novel have been published.
