Description
This unique and classic compendium covers the law as laid down by the Supreme Court on 'Deeds and Documents' from its inception in 1950 till date. The entire Supreme Court case-law of the provisions of Ss. 61 to 100 of the Evidence Act, 1872 has also been analysed herein. Except the provisions of the Evidence Act, almost every deed/document is governed by a specific body of law depending on the nature of the deed/document concerned, whether it is a contract, an arbitration agreement, a will, a conveyance/transfer deed, a labour settlement, a court document, a government grant, etc. etc. Hence, there is no complete pre-existing separate and clearly defined body of law on 'Deeds and Documents'. This subject thus necessarily is a selective collection of rulings of law.
An attempt has been made to classify the rulings on the Construction/Interpretation of Deeds and Documents in a rigorous fashion, borrowing well-established ideas from the law on the Interpretation of Statutes. So for example, there are "Basic Rules", "Subsidiary Rules", "Internal Aids", "External/Extrinsic Aids" for construction/interpretation of deeds/documents, etc.
For the first time ever every legal aspect of this subject is deeply analysed. This authoritative work has been designed to provide the most exhaustive, analytical and systematic coverage of the case-law as laid down by the Supreme Court on the subject and shall be found indispensable by every lawyer, judge, presiding officers of the courts, jurist and scholar.
