Equity, Trusts and Specific Relief

............................................................................................................................
Description
The Fourth edition of this popular book comes in the hands of its readers with additional authoritative case-law useful for practitioners and students too. To bring the book in line with revised law curriculum a new Chapter XXI: "Fiduciary Relationships" has been added, discussing what is fiduciary relationship, how it comes into existence along with a list of cases, wherein it springs up. New and recent cases, discussing the general parens patriae jurisdiction of courts over religious and charitable trusts [Executive Officer, Ardhanareshwar Temple v. Sathyamurthy, (1999) 3 SCC 115]; guidelines when one trustee may act for all [J.P Shrivastava & Sons (P) Ltd v. Gwalior Sugar Co. Ltd., (2005) 1 SCC 172] what type of questions might arise in cases for specific performance [Rajeshwari v. Puran Indoria, (2005) 7 SCC 60] and benefit gained by unjust enrichment (from fiduciary relationship) must be restored back to the trust-S.P. Gaekwad's case, (2005) 11 SCC 314 have been included. It is the author's sincere effort to keep the readers abreast of recent position of law in this area. I am thankful to the Eastern Book Company, the publishers Malik Brothers and the ever enthusiastic staff of the publishers for their meticulous assiduousness and judicial accuracy in bringing out this mini volume on Equity, Trust and Specific Relief.
