History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.1254

v4.c63.1254

¹¹⁷¹ Vide *Khunni Lal v. Gobind* L. R. 38 I. A. p. 87 where A and B, being father and son and forming a joint family and A becoming a convert to the Moslem religion, it was held that A did not forfeit his interest in the joint family property and that the only effect of the conversion was that it operated as a severance of A from the family and that one half of the property immediately vested in A and the other half in B. Vide p. 101 where the P. C. say that the Legislature virtually set aside the provisions of the Hindu Law. The Act of 1850 is felt by many Hindus as a great hardship and should be removed from the statute book. In England the Blasphemy Act of 1698 is still in force.
