Inheritance under Hindu Law

About this book

"Inheritance under Hindu Law" by Gazi Shamsur Rahman is an authoritative, research-based and analytical book on the Hindu Law of Inheritance. By presenting inheritance — one of the most important branches of Hindu personal law — in a simple, well-organised manner and from a judicial perspective, the book serves as a reliable reference for lawyers, judicial officers, researchers and law students.

The book discusses in detail the fundamental principles of Hindu inheritance law, the classification of heirs, determination of succession to property, inheritance in joint family property, the inheritance rights of women and men, the principles of property distribution and the related legal provisions. The topics are also analysed in light of practical application through relevant statutes, important court judgments and judicial interpretations.

The book is especially useful for lawyers, judges, law students, researchers, teachers and readers interested in Hindu personal law and property law. It is also an effective aid for preparing for the Bar Council, judicial service and other law-based competitive examinations.
