<p>Paruck The Indian Succession Act has earned its standing as the most comprehensive and analytically rigorous commentary on the law of succession in India. This book explains and illustrates the provisions of the Act in a lucid, comprehensive and systematic manner and intends to capture the most recent case law, statutory amendments, and doctrinal commentaries. As India debates its future civil law architecture, this work continues to stand as both guide and participant in this transformation.</p>

<p>The 2025 edition arrives at a pivotal juncture, shaped by two significant developments since the 2021 edition&mdash;namely, the Supreme Court&rsquo;s ruling in Supriyo v Union of India (2023) and the enactment of Uttarakhand&rsquo;s Uniform Civil Code in early 2024. Together, these milestones invite both critical scholarly reflection and a reimagining of legislative frameworks.</p>
