The Calcutta Weekly Notes Law Notes and Notes of Cases of the Calcutta High Court and of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the English Law Courts Monday December 14 1908

The provisions as to holding a magiterial enquiry and the recording of evidence behind the back of the accused and the withholding of bail pending further enquiry may lead to the abuse of the procedure at the instance of the police. [...] 33 of the Evidence Act is specially objectionable in the portion where it contemplates the admissibility of an approver's evidence recorded by a Magistrate in camera where the High Court may have reasons to believe that the absence of the approver has been caused in the interest of the accused. [...] In the eye of the Hindu Law of all ties formed on earth that of marriage is the most sacred and absolutely indissoluble and the idea of repudiating a marriage is utterly revolting to the sense and sentiments of the Hindu community. [...] Atter the death of the husband her duty to live with him ceased so the ground on which her right to maintenance was suspended during the life-time of the husband could not stand and therefore her right to the maintenance revived after the death of the husband even though she continued to live in the place where she lived during the life-time of the husband. [...] 44 of the Code of Civil Procedure is that if there are two causes of action and the relief asked With respect to one is a dclaration of right to immoveable property and with respect to the other a claim of a different character permission of the Court should be taken for the joinder of the two causes of actions.
