Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About the Book : In order to increase the usefulness of this work, so often referred to by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the present edition has been further extended to embrace the principles of the Hindu Law according to the various Schools in force throughout India. Book I., which deals with the Law of Inheritance, has been augmented by the addition of the Succession under the Dayabhaga. Portions have been re-written or discussed and the matter in general re-arranged to include the Sources of the Hindu Law and the works of authority according to the different Schools. The importance of Benami transactions, which form part of the Hindu Law in order to assist in the determination as to what property belongs to a joint family, at least in cases of partition, cannot be overrated, and consequently a separate chapter has been devoted to the subject.
