Hindu law r/w
Caste Disability Removal Act, 1850
Bangladesh Laws (Revision and Declaration Act, 1973
It is pertinent to note that Hindu law is religious law, the right to property is made by that law dependent upon the observance of the tenants of that faith.

It is absolutely a wrong notion and misconceived social psychology. A plaintiff’s failure never means that the defendant is the lawful owner of the subject matter. In a case like the present one where the defendants, besides resisting the plaintiffs’ claim, fail to establish their lawful title over the suit land, they should not be allowed to continue with the possession, if any, over the same. .....Sufia Bewa and ors Vs.
