Law and Identity in Colonial South Asia
Author: Mitra Sharafi
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107047978
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This book explores the legal culture of the Parsis, or Zoroastrians, an ethnoreligious community unusually invested in the colonial legal system of British India and Burma. Rather than trying to maintain collective autonomy and integrity by avoiding interaction with the state, the Parsis sank deep into the colonial legal system itself. From the late eighteenth century until India's independence in 1947, they became heavy users of colonial law, acting as lawyers, judges, litigants, lobbyists, and legislators. They de-Anglicized the law that governed them and enshrined in law their own distinctive models of the family and community by two routes: frequent intra-group litigation often managed by Parsi legal professionals in the areas of marriage, inheritance, religious trusts, and libel, and the creation of legislation that would become Parsi personal law. Other South Asian communities also turned to law, but none seems to have done so earlier or in more pronounced ways than the Parsis.

Environmental Jurisprudence in India
Author: C.M. Abraham
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004635432
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Within the last two decades, India has not only enacted specific legislation on environmental protection but has also virtually created a new fundamental right to a clean environment in the Constitution. The models and methods adopted in the Indian context appear, at first sight, similar to those in other common law systems. Yet there are many subtle differences which have changed the structure and content of legal development in India. Indian environmental jurisprudence brings out the unique characteristics of a new legal order which has gradually been established in India. The distinguishing nature of this jurisprudence, as this book shows in detail, has three interconnected elements. First, the nature of the new Indian constitutional law regime accords greater importance to public concerns than protecting private interests. Secondly, this jurisprudential development reflects certain aspects of Indian legal culture, through implicit and explicit reliance on autochthonous values and concepts of law, encapsulated in the Indian juristic postulate of dharma. Thirdly, the emerging Indian environmental jurisprudence bears testimony to the activist role of the Indian judiciary which has also had a significant impact in many areas other than environmental law. In short, the development of environmental jurisprudence in India manifests neo-dharmic jurisprudence in postmodern public law. It accommodates ideas currently voiced by experts around the world for protecting the environment in forms modified by the Indian legal culture.

CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
Author: JATINDRA KUMAR DAS
Publisher: PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.
ISBN: 812034829X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1157
Book Description
The book written with a rich teaching experience of the author at National Law University and State University, attempts to critically analyse Indian High Court and Apex Court cases on the Law of Civil Procedure. It also evaluates the relation between statutory procedural law and case laws as subject. Most importantly, the book presents recent judgments of Supreme Court, particularly based on Post Amendment Acts of 1999 and 2002. Also, these cases have been analysed in addition to a critical examination of the radical and far reaching effect of the Code. This lucid and well-organised book is divided into five parts. Part I develops theoretical foundations of the readers on Civil Procedure Code. Part II demonstrates certain important issues on the (i) scope of jurisdiction of civil courts to entertain disputes, (ii) principles governing res sub judice, res judicata and foreign judgement, (iii) nature of powers exercised by civil courts in matters relating to place of suing, institution of suit, transfer of cases, withdrawal and compromise of suits, (iv) necessary conditions for first hearing, interim order, trial as well as special suits, (v) scope and ambit of law relating to pleadings, appearance and non-appearance of parties, discovery, inspection, production of documents, death, marriage, insolvency of parties, judgment and decrees. Part III explores various issues on appeals, reference, review and revision. In this part, an attempt has also been made to discuss different facets of law on first appeal, second appeals, appeals from orders, appeal by indigent persons, appeals to the Supreme Court. Part IV is devoted to discuss various principles on execution. Part V deals with miscellaneous issues on the Law of Civil Procedure and includes Appendix on the Law of Limitation. The book will prove useful to the students of LLB and LLM for their course study. Besides, the book will be of immense use to the professionals. Key Features • Written with case analysis method. • Contains an authoritative discussion on the complexity of the Second Appeal after its determination and re-determination since the British period. • Important Supreme Court and High Court decisions are examined and analysed critically.

Precedent in English Law
Author: Rupert Cross
Publisher: Clarendon Press
ISBN: 0191024449
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This fourth edition of Precedent in English Law presents a basic guide to the current doctrine of precedent in England, set in the wider context of the jurisprudential problems which any treatment of this topic involves. Such problems include the nature of _ratio_ _decidendi_ of a precedent and of its binding force, the significance of precedents alongside other sources of law, their role in legal reasoning, and the account which must be taken of them by any general theory of law. Considerable re-writing has been undertaken to update case-law and take account of the possible implications for the doctrine of precedent of the impact of European Community law, making it an indispensable work of reference for readers interested in the past history, present state, and future developments of English rules of precedent.

Worshipping False Gods
Author: Arun Shourie
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 9350295393
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
Over the last couple of decades, B.R. Ambedkar has come to be idolized as no other political leader has. His statue is one of the largest in the Parliament complex. Political parties have reaped rich electoral dividends riding on his name. A decades-old cartoon of him in a textbook rocked Parliament for days recently, causing parties across the political spectrum to run for cover and call for the withdrawal of the 'offending' cartoon. In Worshipping False Gods, Arun Shourie employs his scholarly rigour to cast a critical look at the legend of Ambedkar. With his distinctive eye for detail, Shourie delves into archival records to ask pertinent questions: Did Ambedkar coordinate his opposition to the freedom struggle with the British? How does his approach to social change contrast with that of Mahatma Gandhi's? Did the Constitution spring from him or did it grow as a dynamic living organism? Passionately argued and based on a mountain of facts that it presents, Worshipping False Gods compels us to go behind the myths on which discourse is built in India today.
