Abstract

COMMENTS 393 natural guardian will on occasions have to journey far to instruct counsel to obtain permission for him to deal with the minor's estate. Before a decedent's estate can be distributed a host of claimants will have to be satisfied, and complicated compromises will have to be worked out if undue fragmentation is not to reduce seriously the value of the estate. If, as is almost always the case, there are minors involved, the court must be approached for consent, and even uncontentious litigation costs time and money. This marked altera­ tion in the character of the law by no means displeases the reforming section of die community, who feel that it is consonant with India's march towards modernity. 4. In the course of the drafting of the bills which subsequently became the "Hindu Code," and the passage of these bills through both Houses of Parlia­ ment, a process which took much time and involved the contribution at various stages of many minds, some of which seem to have been applied to the task rather hurriedly, numerous slips were intruded into the text. One of the problems set by the HSA has already been treated exhaustively but inharmoniously
