Respected Sir,
Please guide me regarding this.
I started Company Law from ICAI Module(started from Directors). I read about 30-40 pages. But I faced many problems:-
1. Topics are not written in a good sequence to understand clearly.
2. No reference of Rules etc. are taken for elaborating and clarifying the topic.
3. Some(in fact almost all) prominent teachers says that it is better to study from Munish Bhandari Text Book rather than Module from Knowledge as well as exam point of view.
4. Even those teachers who suggest Module for all subjects says that for Law don't go with Module.
5. Many teachers says that if u will read Munish Bhandari Text Book rather than Module, you will got many new things. But if u read Module rather than Munish Bhandari Text Book, then u will not get anything extra in Module as compared to Munish Bhandari, In fact u will loose some things.
Now I am thinking to shift to Munish Bhandari from Module due to all above reasons. So please guide me. Please give me certain facts & reasons to understand the importance of Module as compared to Munish Bhandari so that I can go with Module with full confidence and believe.
Thanks in advance sir.

Nitesh,
Should you check a bookstore, you'll find many books authored by different people on a single topic. Do all the books score well with the readers?
Same with the modules, for some papers it could be awesome but for others it's just good - so in this case go for the one that is better i.e. Munish Bhandari.
If you wanna be on the safe side, just read the module like a novel (I used to read sidney sheldon during my school days) then try to hit it off with the Munish's book.
My suggestion, for Law handbook/main book is sufficient. When is your attempt?

Students score exemptions after reading from munish Bhandari sir's book. Also in it you will find many questions from previous attempts. Go with sir's book, if module is difficult to understand.
