Christian Law Of Succession In India
Christians in India have had different laws on succession. The British Indian Government enacted the Indian Succession Act of 1865 on the recommendations of the 3rd Law Commission. This Act was intended to be applied to different communities in British India who did not have a law of their own in matters of succession. It was specifically provided that it would not apply in the case of Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs or Jains. But its provisions were to apply in the case of Christians.
An authoritative exposition and critical analysis of Christian law of succession in India is given in the book "Christian Law of Succession in India" by Advocate Dr. Sebastian Champappilly.
