This authoritative work on Family Property, Partition, Will, Succession and Inheritance covers the law as laid down by the Supreme Court from its inception in 1950 to date. The present two volume Digest has been conceived and planned based on the time-tested SCC index system to enable the discovery of all the rulings, easily and quickly.
In India this branch of law is a combination of general law i.e. law which applies regardless of a person’s religion or community, and personal laws i.e. laws which apply based on a person’s religion or community. Hence, the authors have tried to provide the law on all aspects from a general perspective under the heading The General Principles of Law Relevant to All Communities. The rulings which are given here are either based on general laws, or even when arising out of personal law adjudication, are such that they are uniformly applicable or relevant to all communities.
Thereafter the authors have discussed these very topics under different Personal Laws, namely:
Christian Law
Hindu Law
Muslim Law
Parsi Law
