This book contains 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. Several important decisions have been rendered by the courts,
and have been commented upon. These include the seminal and important aspect as
to whether a national partition, under the erstwhile section 6 of the Hindu
Succession Act, would bring about an actual partition, resulting into the
disruption of a Mitakshara coparcenery, which is an issue of considerable importance,
in view of the decision of the Supreme Court.
