The Calcutta Law Journal. July 16th 1931

The main object of the law of registration is to guard against the fabrication of documents and to facilitate the determination of facts in controversy between the parties. [...] The Registration Act is thus a very valuable adjunct to the adjective law of the country and a useful publication like the book under review containing a complete statement of the law of registration in force in this country cannot fail to be serviceable to the legal profession. [...] The Book will be of greater use to the lawyers of the Bombay Presidency and the learned author too seems to have that end in view and that is why we find in it special reference to the rules contained in the Bombay Registration Manual as also the local amendments of that Province which can scarcely be found in similar publications from the other provinces. [...] The history of the law of registration given in the introduction is a fitting prelude to the study of the subject. [...] In such instances it is the first duty of the handwriting expert to ascertain the degree of variation among the admitted writings and then note the quality and extent of the variations in the disputed writing.
