Settled Principles Of Law

Objectives
The objective of this chapter is to apprise the students of the settled legal principles of law. In other words, when a question of law is agitated before higher judiciary, say up to the level of National Commission and/or The Supreme Court of India it can be said that the said question of law is finally settled. Needless to mention even a settled legal principle may be altered with prospective overruling by the apex court or by amendment of the law itself.
