Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Codification in British India All attempt has been made in the following pages to point out the great and growing importance of the subject which is not, as supposed in some quarters, merely dry and academic, useful to Jurists and Legislators only. Viewed aright it is interesting and of practical importance to the practising lawyer, the student of history, as well as to the public in general. True, the enumeration of the different enactments in their chronological order forms a part, a minor part of the subject, but this is not the whole subject; it docs not exhaust the subject; it is not even the whole history of codification in this country. Codification is a branch of legislation, and law cannot be properly understood apart from the history and spirit of the nation whose law it is, and hence it has been necessary to deal to a certain extent with the legal and constitutional history of India. Questions relating to the genesis, essence, principle, form and interpretation of the British Indian Codes have been the subject-matter of discussion in a good many reported cases and arc of the utmost importance to practising lawyers. In this connection reference may he made to the case of Secretary of State for India v. Moment [ (1912) 40 I. A. 48, 53] where it has been held that the Government of India can not by legislation take away the right to proceed against it in a Civil Court in a case involving a right over land, and that any Act which takes away such a right is ultra vires. Besides these important questions there is the question of the feasibility of further codification in this country. The answer to this question depends 011 the answer to another question, viz. whether the present Anglo-Indian Codes have been a success. It has been stated 011 high authority that they have been "triumphantly successful"; but they cannot be, and are not, perfect, nor exhaustive. It should be noted also that great as the advantages of codification arc, it is not the panacea for all the ills human society is heir to. Codes "cannot regulate the time to come, so as to make express provision against all inconveniences, which are infinite in number," and "it is the duty of the Judges to apply the laws not only to what appears to be regulated by their express dispositions, but to all the cases where a just application of them may be made, which appear to be comprehended within the express sense of the law or within the consequences that may be gathered from it" [Kamini v. Promotho (1911). 13 C. L. J. 609]. Here comes in the maxim of justice, equity and good conscience; a maxim which has played and is still playing an important part in the history of the development of law and of codification.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British India: Calcutta Calcutta's trade in metals was even more upset by the war in 1916 - 17 than in 1915 - 16. High prices and more recently the necos sity of obtaining priority certificates have reduced contracts to the lowest possible requirements. In the United Kingdom control of the steel trade dates practically from the creation of the Ministry of Munitions. Maximum prices have since been fixed for most metals, and the quantities available for ordinary commercial pur poses are very greatly reduced. The result in India has been to post.

Download or read book Early Records of British India Classic Reprint written by James Talboys Wheeler and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Records of British India The subject-matter of the present volume is, perhaps, sufficiently told on the title-page. It may, however, be explained that the compiler was originally employed to report on the records of the Home Department in Calcutta, and intended to confine his extracts to the papers preserved there. As, however, he proceeded with the task it was discovered that the value of those records had been much overrated. They were incomplete in themselves, and not only overloaded with detail, but were mostly written in the verbose style of the eighteenth century. Those of an early date had been destroyed in the great storm of 1737, or were lost at the capture of Calcutta in 1756 by the Nawab of Bengal. Those of a later date throw considerable light upon the progress of affairs during the transition period, when the Company's servants were beginning to exercise a political power in India; but they do not furnish details as regards the social life of the early English settlers in Bengal, which is still a desideratum in Anglo-Indian history.

In his attitude towards foreign countries he was an, advocate of an advanced Liberalism, and was ever ready to encourage others in a forward policy which was by no means to his liking when applied to his own country, for in domestic politics he upheld the old order and resisted all attempts at reform. For these reasons he became the popular hero, and therefore dominated English politics for upwards of ten years.

Download or read book The Government of Social Life in Colonial India written by Rachel Sturman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early days of colonial rule in India, the British established a two-tier system of legal administration. Matters deemed secular were subject to British legal norms, while suits relating to the family were adjudicated according to Hindu or Muslim law, known as personal law. This important new study analyses the system of personal law in colonial India through a re-examination of women's rights. Focusing on Hindu law in western India, it challenges existing scholarship, showing how - far from being a system based on traditional values - Hindu law was developed around ideas of liberalism, and that this framework encouraged questions about equality, women's rights, the significance of bodily difference, and more broadly the relationship between state and society. Rich in archival sources, wide-ranging and theoretically informed, this book illuminates how personal law came to function as an organising principle of colonial governance and of nationalist political imaginations.

Download or read book Governments in the Muslim World written by Charles F. Bingman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never in modern times has there been a greater need for understanding of the Muslim world. Nothing in that world is more important than the relationship between Muslims and their Faith, yet now that Faith has become far more confusing and challenging. The emergence of religious fundamentalism, often linked to terrorism, seems wholly inconsistent with the teaching of the Quran and the other holy documents of the Faith, which defines itself as a religion of peace and forgiveness. Muslims everywhere have found themselves facing two dilemmas: first, a failure of the governments that demand to rule them; and then a major concern over what kind of Faith true Muslims should believe in. But while religion tends to control people's lives, it is not the primary source of conflict in the Muslim world. That source is the yearning for power which has produced leadership unwilling to negotiate and unable to compromise, along with the sins of personal greed and a culture of corruption. What do most Muslims really want? To live in peace, to live a devout life, and to achieve a successful life for themselves and their children. "Governments in the Muslim World" describes in many ways how far they are from these desires.
