Law of Affidavits : with More Than 200 Model Forms (3 ed)

This book puts forward the view that a sound and satisfying foundation for a general and fully National Indian Law of Affidavits lies in our unalterable commitment to Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and Smritis which speak in solemn organic harmony.

The succeeding chapters contain detailed discussion concerning affidavits in general and in the context of various enactments and legal proceedings.

Affidavits find a place not only in the Code of Civil Procedure, but in other statutes as well.

Still the basic and fundamental principles are based on the overview of the CPC and gain relevance and significance from these.

The book puts forward the enormous and many-side literature on affidavits spread over different statutes in India and brings to the readers the quintessence of judicial dicta concerning affidavits laid down in myriad of cases decided by the Indian courts with reference to well-known English and American decided cases in order to make it an extensive work.

Feeling the vital importance of affidavit in the ongoing cases, various new Model Forms, updated decided cases of Supreme Court and various High Courts have been incorporated in the present edition. More than 200 Model Forms of Affidavit will prove useful practically to all concerned.

The book is useful to the judges, lawyers, administrators and would also help laymen understand the law of affidavit better.
