Bare act

Set texts — Shakespeare, Dickens, Eliot, Fielding

The Merchant of Venice, The Pickwick Papers, Adam Bede and Joseph Andrews, read for the passages where law actually operates on a character — a bond enforced to the letter, a court that ruins the man who wins, a trial that turns on character rather than proof. This is a literature paper, and the examiner wants close reading, not case law.

The sections below are the ones the LL.B. papers examine on this Act, with the unit that covers each and the cases decided on it. The official text is on India Code ↗.
