Supreme Court on Hindu Law

The Supreme Court has been established by the Constitution of India in 1950. It is the highest judicial tribunal of the Indian Union. It has wide appellate, writ, revisional and in some cases, original jurisdiction. The law declared by it is binding on all the courts of the country. When the Supreme Court, as the apex adjudicator declaring the law for the country, invested with constitutional credentials under Article, 141 it clarifies a confused juridical situation, then its substantial role is that of a legal mentor of the nation. The Allahabad, Bombay, Karnataka High Courts held that even the 'obiter dicta' of the Supreme Court is also 'law' within the meaning of Articles. Keeping that in view, I have made an earnest endeavour to bring together the decisions of the Supreme Court on Hindu Law in one comprehensive volume so that it becomes easy for the legal fraternity to refer them at leisure and convenience. The present work is designed topic-wise for clarity and cogency and may be useful in all possible manner. However, its usefulness is to be judged for whom it is meant and if appreciated, it would be a great reward for the labour undertaken.
