| Summary, etc. |
The commentary and indeed, the legal fraternity of India, is also beholden to the brilliance and legal acuity of the late Justice ST Desai, a former judge of the Bombay High Court, then the first Chief Justice of the High Court of Gujarat and thereafter, a very respected Senior Counsel in the Supreme Court of India, for close to three decades, upon whom the mantle fell to carry forward the work of revising this book. At the time when ST Desai, wrote the revised commentary, the task of penning a commentary to the new acts on Hindu Succession, Marriage. Adoptions and Maintenance, and Minority and Guardianship, also fell upon his shoulders, as these acts had come into effect. By then, he was already, besides being a well-known lawyer and later a judge of the Bombay High Court. established as the author of his brilliant commentary on the Law of Partnership in India. His carrying forward the commentary and revising the book added to the lustre of this book on legal firmament. I shall not dwell much upon the fact that the commentary has, time and again, proven useful to the whole of the legal fraternity and that various segments of the commentary and topics discussed, have found a place in many important judgments of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, and that many a judgment has, in fact, relied upon this commentary. That is the great respect and recognition that this book commands because of the in depth analysis of this branch of law, as a result of those venerable legal luminaries Sir D F Mulla and Justice ST Desai. Nor will I dwell long upon the aspect of how this commentary has traced legal developments oments in the field of its operation. For the reader interested in that, I would, apart from the commentary and analysis of law therein, draw attention to the seminally brilliant work evident in the Introduction at the beginning of the book, penned by Justice ST Desai, which has been an integral part of the book since the 12th Edition and my own minor contribution, in explaining the origins of this branch of law by way o some portion included in the preface to the 17th edition ---provided by publisher |
