Property and land disputes take up the largest proportion of cases in Indian courts. A significant number of such disputes are within families, with siblings and cousins fighting with each other. This creates an unnecessary drain on the economy and on productivity. In this book we discuss the psychology of property disputes within the family and also look at some historical property disputes in India, starting from the ancient and medieval ages. In this book we briefly discuss the history of property disputes in India within the family. We also briefly cover the psychology of property disputes within siblings. We also discuss the laws related to property transfers and legal strategies one may take if they are caught in a property case.

This pivotal Research Handbook analyses the interconnectedness of family property and the law through historical, contemporary, comparative and jurisdiction-specific lenses.

By accessibly recounting and analyzing the unique experience of institutions in colonial Indiawhich were influenced heavily by both British Common Law and indigenous Indian practices and traditionsLaw and the Economy in Colonial India sheds new light on what exactly fosters the types of institutions that have been key to economic development throughout world history more generally. The culmination and years of research, the book goes through a range of examples, including textiles, opium, tea, indigo, tenancy, credit, and land mortgage, to show how economic laws in colonial India were shaped neither by imported European ideas about how colonies should be ruled nor indigenous institutions, but by the practice of producing and trading. The book is an essential addition to Indian history and to some of the most fundamental questions in economic history."

This book systematically introduces the practice of restorative justice in India, as a resource for comparative criminal justice research. “Restorative justice” focuses on the rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims, and with the community at large. It has gained momentum as a justice reform movement in Western countries within the past three decades, and it is estimated that up to one hundred countries worldwide utilize restorative justice practices. Within Western countries, it is seen largely a response or alternative to the perceived deficiencies of the existing criminal justice system. India has a rich tradition of restorative justice, and this work introduces both the traditional basis and contemporary practices of this justice system in India, in a comprehensive and systematic way. The contributions to this work cover three main areas: I. The Tradition of Restorative Justice in India II. The Development of Restorative Justice in India III. Restorative Justice Practices in India The third part – “Practices” covers special topics: including Restorative Justice and the Court, Restorative Justice and Incarceration, Restorative Justice and Juveniles, and Restorative Justice and Woman. The book covers the full range of the issues of restorative justice in India and will be a highly valuable resource book for researchers and upper level graduate students interested in alternative justice models in general, comparative criminology, and criminal justice in India specifically. “A landmark volume in the history of restorative justice and criminology in India. Many outstanding scholars in this collection outline the Indian experience of restorative justice from which the world has much to learn.” John Braithwaite Australian National University

“Most of my clients are well educated, run good businesses with good potential, and are serious about improving the way they manage their business. As multi-generational multiple families, they have a basic desire to stay together and therefore seek my assistance. Since they are all experienced businessmen in a competitive world, and their time is precious, they are also clear that I must deliver value. And, to me, delivering value is to create a positive family business governance structure that also simultaneously improves business performance and results.” 1.

Global Trends in Dispute Resolution Series, Volume 11 It can be said that negotiation is about what to do, whereas mediation is about how to do it—how to make sure control is in the hands of the disputants. Although mediation (as well as conciliation) is taking hold in dispute resolution worldwide, among the nations, India shows the strongest signs of interest in developing a pervasive legal mediation culture. In this invaluable book, more than 20 formidable thought leaders with global reputations in dispute resolution describe how mediation is used, and can be used, to resolve different types of disputes in India and international cases. With a focus throughout on the law and procedure applicable to conciliation and mediation in India—addressing the involvement of each of the stakeholders in the process (with relevant hints on practice)—the contributors examine such issues and topics as the following: mediator ethics; court-annexed mediation; institutional mediation; mediating commercial disputes; mediating company, insolvency, and bankruptcy disputes; mediating government disputes; mediating investor-state disputes; mediating family disputes; e-mediation; community mediation and citizen empowerment; mixed-mode dispute resolution; and cross-border enforcement of mediated settlements. Two practice-oriented chapters synthesize the process, techniques, and approaches that experienced mediators and mediation advocates have found to be most valuable in their preparation for a mediation. Included is a detailed commentary on Part III of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 and the 2018 Singapore Convention on Mediation. There is little doubt that mediation is the dispute resolution choice of the next-generation lawyer. Present-day lawyers, judges, and users are becoming increasingly convinced that early conflict resolution through facilitated negotiations avoids the pitfalls of adversarial modes of dispute resolution, especially in terms of user satisfaction. This book takes into account where India stands at present, covering statutes, international conventions, and academic literature, thus bequeathing a broad understanding of the subject for legal practitioners, judges, arbitrators, mediators and conciliators, users, and technical experts who wish to understand it.
