Shiba Prasad Singh vs Rani Prayag Kumari Debi on 7 April, 1932
12. We would have come to the same opinion even without the aid of the decision of the Supreme Court in Puttarangamma's case, , and the decision of the Privy Council in Shiba Prasad Singh's case. AIR 1932 PC 216, on the basis of the text of Mitakshara which has come up for consideration before us. We however make it clear that while understanding the said text, we have relied upon the opinion of distinguished and erudite Sanskrit scholars who were at the same time eminent jurists such as Telang, J. and Dr. Jolly, in preference to the opinion of the three learned English Judges who were members of the Full Bench of the Bombay High Court.
