Since the publication of last Edition there have been no further amendments in the Act. The last Edition of the book was overwhelmingly received and appreciated and has stood the test of time for more than 100 years. The Eleventh Edition published in 2008 has been sold out to the last copy of the book.Good books and good pictures are like monuments, which once made, always remain there and continue to receive fresh laurels.The present edition by Sir Henry Cunningham & Sir Horatio Shephard can deservedly claim to be the one and only such Commentary on the subject which has a track record / standing of well over a hundred years.The Twelfth Edition of this Commentary attempts to expound the law embodied in the Act in an exhaustive, analytical and critical manner in clear language. The treatment is section-wise and each section carries heading and sub-headings.
