Sir John Woodroffe's law Relating to Receivers became a classic in the literature of law in British India. Each edition of this treatise was lustily received by the legal fraternity, and has proved to be a comprehensive guide on the subject. This publication contains in an enlarged form portions of the Tagore Law Lectures delivered by Sir John Woodroffe in the University of Calcutta which related to the subject to Receivers. English and American texts of international fame were referred for writing the original work.
The very fact that this edition celebrates its Centenary, speaks laurels about this popular publication which is a remarkable tribute to its original author.
It is the oldest, most reliable and influential treatise on the Law Relating to recievers in India Like most laws, the law on the subject is ever growing. The judicial decisions and the pronoucements of eminent jurists on the subject have not yet ceased to widen the horizon and consequently the imperative necessity of keeping the book completely up-to-date.
