The Law of Joint Property and Partition in British India (Classic Reprint)

The subject of this Treatise was the subject on which I dehvered Lectures as the Tagore Law Professor for the year i8g6 in the University of Calcutta. During the i6 years which have since elapsed, case-law has largely discussed several incidents of joint property, while legislature has made new provisions for the partition of revenuepaying estates. In the present Edition I have attempted to discuss the principles in the light of the authoritative decisions up-to-date, without interfering with the old division of the subject according to the personal laws of the people in British I ndia. This division of the subject will, it is hoped, facilitate the student in discriminating the principles of the different systems of law on the same questions, though it may inconvenience the busy practitioner who will have to refer to different parts of the Treatise in order to collect all the information on any question. But this inconvenience, it is hoped, will be minimized by a reference to the Index which will show at once where the same question has been discussed according to the different systems of law. calcutta, 1R am Charan Mitra.
