Description: "This book, originally published in 1965, was written by Fyzee as a companion volume to his erudite and authoritative Outlines of Muhammadan Law. Since then it has been a source book for the Indo-Anglican interpretation of Muslim law. This long-awaited revised edition makes available in one volume the original forty-three cases along with the author's commentary and extracts from judgements, as well as ninety-three new cases relating to significant developments since its original publication." "The themes covered in the original edition have now been extensively revised and updated. New judicial rulings from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have been added to all of its nineteen chapters. The only book of its kind, it is a treasure house of old and new rulings. It provides an incomparable view of contemporary Muslim law, as it is being applied in the three countries within the parameters of their constitutions and under their systems of judicial administration."--BOOK JACKET.
