Mohammad Soleman Molla And Ors. vs Tasadduq Hossain And Ors. on 17 June, 1935

3. Further, the Muslim Law does not recognize any right of inheritance to the office of Muthavalli (Vide S.206 in the Principles of Mohamedan Law, by Mulla 18th Edition). No doubt, the very same section in the above text book says that the office of Muthavalliship may become hereditary by custom in which case the custom should be followed. For this proposition, no doubt, Mahammed Soleman V. Tasaddug Hassan, [AIR 1935 Calcutta 623] Mohomed Haji Harron Kadwani, In re, [AIR 1935 Bombay 254] Phatmabi v.Haji Musa [(1913) L.L.R 38 Madras 49] and other decisions have quoted as authorities. But, so far as Tamil Nadu is concerned, this law based on custom cannot be applied, in view of the amendment made by the legislature of then State of Madras to the Central Enactment, Shariat Act, 1937, by Madras Act 18/49. While the Central Enactment Shariat Act, abolished customary law on several matters, it retained the customary law so far as ?Charities and charitable institutions and charitable and religious endowments?. But, by the above said Madras amendment to charities and charitable institutions and charitable and religious endowments, only the Muslim personal law is made applicable and not any custom or usage to the contrary. This is clear from the above said amendment introduced to S.2 of the Shariat Act, 1937.
