Summary, etc. N. R. Raghavachariar's commentary on Hindu Law (Principles and Precedents) is a masterly and a critical exposition of rules contained in the Hindu dharmasastras and the commentaries thereon, judicial decisions, Central and State statutes. What is ordinarily understood as Hindu Law is not the customary law of the<br/><br/>country like the Common Law of England. Neither it is<br/><br/>a statute law in the sense that some King or Legislature framed the law and enforced its acceptance by the people. It may be described as an amalgam of rules laid down in the Hindu dharmasastras and the commentaries thereon, judicial decisions, Central and State statutes and judicial expositions often passive but sometimes provocative of their meanings. It is a synthetic corpus juris evolved by judicial development.<br/><br/>The scheme favoured by the original author Sri N.R. Raghavachariar for keeping distinct the law as traditionally administered from the law as embodied in the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, and the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, is being continued in deference to the wishes of the original author's family.<br/><br/>The decisions of the different High Courts on all the laws as codified particularly on the subject of Hindu Law are cited even more comprehensively, than before, by giving references to the various new law journals in which they are reported. They indicate how in a large measure there has been a calculated drifting away from the shastric requirements. The law as given is quite up-to-date and has not omitted reference to any important decision. A new feature is the incorporation of the case-law along with the enunciation instead of keeping them separately as footnotes. It is hoped that this would simplify the task of the reader.<br/><br/>The present edition fully maintains the excellence of the material, at the same time throwing into prominence the rapidity of the changes effected by Parliamentary legislation in regard to the modified part of the law.
