Description

The connection between India and England started in 1600 AD when Queen Elizabeth I granted a Charter to the East India Company to carry on trade in the East Indies. The connection between Privy Council and India started from 1657 when a Committee of the Privy Council was set up called "the Committee for the business and trade". This Committee was empowered to entertain appeals from foreign plantations, as they were called. In this description the East India Company was apparently included, but to what extent, if at all, Indians availed themselves of the right of appeal is not recorded. Eventually the Privy Council, the ultimate Appellate Court for India, as a part of the British Empire. The tie between India and the Privy Council lasted for about 300 years. As per the Privy Council records the earliest appeal from India to the Privy Council was in 1791 and the last appeal was in 1949. During this period the Privy Council decided about 2500 cases from India.
Systematic reporting of the Privy Council Judgments started from Moore's Indian Appeals which covered the period from 1836 to 1872. Thereafter Indian Appeals were started and it covered the period upto 1950 when the tie between Privy Council and India was snapped. Most of the Privy Council judgments on Indian cases are reported in these two Law Reports.
There are certain decisions of the Privy Council on cases brought from India which were reported in Stray Shortlived Law Reports which are not available but many of which are included in the English Reports. Thus an English Barrister Mr. Knapp published a Law Report between 1829 and 1836 which is known as Knapp's Privy Council Appeal Cases and cited as Kn., Kn.K.C., Kn.P.C., Kn. & Moo., Knapp. and Knapp P.C.C. These reports have been included in Volume 12 of the English Reports. There was another English Barrister Mr. E.F. Moore who published a Law Report including Privy Council Judgments and the said report was published between 1836 and 1862. These reports are included in volume 12 to 15 of the English Reports. The citation of these reports is Moo. There is another series of Law Reports known as Moore's Privy Council cases, new series, which covered a period between 1862 and 1873. This series is included in volume 15 to 17 of the English Reports.
