Description

About The Book: The "Hindoo Law: Defence of the Daya Bhaga" refers to a legal case in 1865 concerning the will of Prosoono Coomar Tagore, a prominent Indian businessman. The case was significant in interpreting Hindu inheritance laws, particularly the Daya Bhaga school of law, which allowed sons to inherit property independently of their fathers. The Privy Council’s judgment upheld the principles of the Daya Bhaga, emphasizing individual inheritance rights over those under the Mitakshara school, which required joint family property. The ruling had lasting implications for Hindu law, influencing future legal interpretations regarding inheritance and property rights in India.
