Synopsis

This book is an extensive analysis of reported cases that have been heard and decided in the various Courts throughout British India. It presents what was at the time, a comprehensive summary of the systems in place for the administration of justice in that region, including the laws that were still in effect from the time of the East India Company. This book provides an overview of the different jurisdictions under which people lived in India at the time of its publication, as well as the complexities of a legal landscape that was comprised of elements from multiple legal traditions in use throughout the subcontinent. The author examines the laws that were enacted by the regional legislative councils, and discusses the legal doctrines and systems of law that were peculiar to India, including Hindu Law and Muhammadan Law. The author also presents a history of the development of the legal codes and systems that were in use up to the time of publication, with particular emphasis on the changes and reforms brought about by the British. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the complex legal history of India.
