After returning to India in August 1912, Nehru enrolled at the [[Allahabad High Court]] and tried to settle down as a barrister. His father was one of the wealthiest barristers in British India, with a monthly income exceeding Rs. 10,000 (£850).{{sfn|Nanda|2007|p=34}}<ref>{{cite book | last=Pandey | first=B.N. | title=Nehru | publisher=Palgrave Macmillan UK | year=1976 | isbn=978-1-349-00792-9 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PO-wCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA19 | page=19}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last=Bhagavan | first=Manu | title=Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit| publisher=Penguin Random House India | year=2023 | isbn=9789357086462 | url=https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Vijaya_Lakshmi_Pandit/N4DyEAAAQBAJ?hl=&gb | page=23}}</ref> Although Nehru was expected to inherit the family's lucrative practice,{{sfn|Nanda|2007|p=167}} he had little interest in his profession, and relished neither the practice of law nor the company of lawyers. His involvement in nationalist politics was to gradually replace his legal practice. In 1945-46, he was a member of the [[INA Defence Committee]] during the [[INA Trials]], putting on a barrister's gown and appearing in court after over twenty-five years.{{sfn|Gopal|1976|p=308}}
