has broken +ve contract. A can enforce this right against B. This is
known as right in personam.
1. LEGAL AND EUITABLE RIGHT (NATUAL JUSTICE):- The division
of right has its origin in England. Legal ight is recognised by Law. While
equitable right has been recognised by natural justice. In England there
were two types of courts: (i) Legal courts (ii) Chancery courts
Chancery Courts recognised the conquerable rights on the basis of
justice, equity and good conscience.
4. Vested & Contingents Right:- These rights is of permanent nature
that depends upon the happening of an uncertain event. Thus
contingents right becomes full right only when such uncertain events
happen according to the condition.
5. Proprietary and Personal Right:- Proprietary rights which are
concerned with property. A person possessing any property has the
proprietary right over it, and personal right means the right related with a
person or a body. Every person has a status. He should not be injured or
defamed. If any person injures or defames another person then the
wrong doer infringes the personal right of a person.
6. Perfect or Imperfect Right:- These rights which are enforceable by
law are perfect and which law does not enforceable are imperfect rights.
7. Right of Re-propia and Right in re-alena:- Right in re-propia means
the right in ones own thing whereas right in re-aliena means the right in
the things of others.
4 Law is the command of sovereign comment. Critically examine the
main features of Analytical School? OR
Discuss the essential characteristics of the Analytical School?
INTRODUCTION : The main features/essential characteristics of
Analytical School of Jurisprudence are as under:- The jurists of
analytical school consider that the most important aspect of law is its
relation to the State Law is treated as an imperative or command
emanating from the state. For this very reason this school is known as
the Imperative school.
The exponents of this school are concerned neither with the
past nor with the future of law but with law as it exists, i.e. as it is
(positus).For this reason this school is termed the positive school. Its
founder is John Austin who was the professor of jurisprudence in the
University of London.
He is also considered as the father of English jurisprudence. He studied
the Roman Law in Germany. There he was that Roman Law is very
systematic and scientific whereas English Law is not systematic and
scientific. So he tried to make English law in well manner. For this
purpose he wrote a book Province of English Jurisprudence. In this
book he difined English law and made it in a systematic way.
Austin said that only positive law is the subject matter of
jurisprudence. He separated both the morals and the religion from the
definition of the law. Prior to Austin the law was based upon customs
and morals but Austin reduced all things from the definition of law. He
divided law into two parts :
(i) Law propriety so called (II) Law impropriety so called.
It further divided into two parts :-
(1) Law of God (Divine Law) (II) Law of Men ( Human Law)
Law of God is also called divine law. It is a law set by God for human
beings on earth. Men also make law of men is made by men, so it is
called human Law. This law makes a relationship between persons and
the Law. This law is imposed upon persons and is made by persons.
Human law is further divided into two parts :-

5 Define and distinguish law and morals. Up to what extent morals help
in the development of law.
Introduction:- Play an important role in the development of law. In the
ancient society there was no difference between law and morals. The
Vedas and suteras which are the main ancient sources of law are based
upon morals. In the western society also the position was the same. The
legal system of Greek was also based upon the doctrine of natural
rights, which was in fact founded upon morals. So the Roman law also
recognised the doctrine of natural law, which was founded upon morals.
In the middle period also morals were the basis of law. In the 17th and
18th centuries natural law theories become very popular which were
also based upon morals. However in modern times it was only Austin
who discarded morals from law. He said that law is a command of
sovereign. But after him there came the Historical School that
recognised morals as the part of law.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAW AND MORALS
When the Austin did not give any place to morals in law then there came
a question of the difference between law and morals. Later on the courts
tried to make difference between law and morals. In the modern times
there is clear difference between law and morals. In every developed
and civilized society the following are the differences between morals
and laws:-
MORALS LAWS
1.The morals are concerned with individual and are the laid down rules
for the moulding of his character.
2.Morals are mainly concerned with the internal conduct of the nature of
a person.
3.The morals are an end in themselves.
4. The observance of morals is a matter of individuals conscience.
5. Morals are considered to be universal in nature and value. 1. The
laws are mainly concerned with the society as a whole and lay down the
rules for relationship of individual with each other and with the state.
2. Law is concerned with the external conduct of the individuals.
3. Laws are meant by which the evils ends. The justice is achieved.

7 Define Natural Law theory. Also explain its relevancies in the Modern
times.
INTRODUCTION: The Natural Law school is not independent school. It
has deep concern with historical, analytical school. The main contents of
this theory is that it has been interpreted differently at the different times
depending on the needs of the developing legal thought but the greatest
attribute of the Natural la w theory is its adaptability to meet new
challenges of the transient society.
According to the pro pounder of this theory says that, Law is a product
of the straight thinking of human mind. According to Socrates, he duely
assert it that the positivist authority should be obeyed but not blindly and
it ought to be subject to criticism if deserve so. Plato: He was in the view
that each individual be given best suitable role by reason of his capacity
and abilities. Thomas Acquinas (Roman Thinker):- He means that
Natural Law is a part of Divine Law. This part is applied by human
beings to govern their affairs and relations. Thomas Hobbes (Roman
Thinker) :- According to him that there should be an absolute authority
which should govern and control the affairs of human beings in the
reciprocal transmission of concerned with every span of life. Rousseau
(Roman Thiner) : He held that there two types of will:1. The will of
individual and 2. General will. The authority through his rule must
respect the both and in the administration of rule making process. These
will should be reflected.
Definition:- From the jurisprudence point of view Natural law is not a
body of actual enacted or interpreted law enforced by courts. It is in fact
a way of looking at things and a humanistic approach of Judges and
Jurists. It embodies within it a host of ideals such as morality, justice,
reason, good conduct, freedom, equality, liberty, ethics and so on. The
phrase Natural Law has a flexible meaning. The chief characteristic
feature of natural law may be briefly stated as follows :-
i) It is basically a priori method which is different from empirical
method. It used to stress upon a cause and effect relationship between
the facts on the verge of logic.
ii) It symbolizes physical law of nature based on moral ideals which
has universal applicability at all places and times.
iii) It has often been used either to defend a change or to maintain
status quo according to needs of the time.
iv) The concept of Rule of law in England and India and due process
in USA are essentially based on Natural Law philosophy.
MODEN NATURAL LAW THEORIS:- The following are the three main
thinker who contribute to the Modern Natural Law theories:-
1. Stammler:- He was much more influence by Positive Law. He says
that all positive law is an attempt at just law with regard to will and
purpose of the law maker should have the proper understanding and
knowledge of actual social world or social reality. Various a time in his
concept he inter changeable used the word will with the purpose and he
conclude that it is the will of the people which enable them to secure
their purpose under social reorganisation.
2. KOHLER:- His thoughts were influenced by Hegal. According to
him Law is standard of conduct which is consequence of in the impulse
of human being that urges him towards a reasonable form of life. It also
http://kuklawnotes.blogspot.in/p/jurisprudence-1-what-is-administration.html 12/42
12/16/2017 Law Notes (LL.B Notes): JURISPRUDENCE
derives its validity from the moral and ethical standard in society. So that
he laid down stress upon moral and cultural development of society.
3. Finnis: Finnis also is a very famous jurists of the present century.
He has given the definition and place to natural law. According to finnis
Natural Law is the set of principles of practical reasonableness in
ordinary human life and human community. He sets up the proposition
that there are certain basic goods for human being. Fennis lists them as
under :-
i) Life:- The term life signifies every aspect of vitality in good shape
for self determination.
ii) Knowledge: Knowledge is a process of knowing of unknown with
the help of sense.
iii) Sociability of Friendship:- Doing something best for the sake of
ones friends purposes, ones well being.
iv) Role:- It is the expression of a status of human being in practical
form such role is protected and recognised by law.
v) Religion:- Question of the origins of cosmic order and of human
freedom and reason expressed thus this view is a good that even an
ethicist can value.
vi) Practical reasonableness :- This is the logic expression of the ideas
and decision in practical circumstances. This the measurement of just or
unjust in a real situation.
Despite the merits of Natural Law philosophy it has been criticized for its
weakness on the following grounds. In other words the demerits of the
Natural Law may be read as follows :-
i) Moral proposition i.e. ought to be may not always necessarily
conform to the needs of the society.
ii) The concept of morality is a varying content changing from place to
place, therefore it would be futile to think of universal applicability of law.
iii) The rules of morality embodied in natural law are not amendable to
changes but legal rules do need a change with changing of the society.
iv) Legal disputes may be settled by law courts but disputes relating to
moral and law of nature cannot be subjected to judicial scrutiny.
CONCLUSION:-The brief survey of the theories of Natural law reveals
that its concept has been changing from time to time.
8 Explain the importance of Legislation as source of Law. OR
Distinguish between supreme and subordinate legislation?
INTRODUCTION:- Legislation means the process of law making. This
law making power is vested in the legislation body which is sovereign
body. It is called Parliament at the centre level and legislative assembly
at the state level. Legislation is the most important and modern source
of Law. This source has played an important role in the development of
modern law and also different from custom and precedent etc.
LEGISLATION AS A SOURCE OF LAW:- The importance of legislation
starts from the beginning of analytical school. This school ignored the
importance of custom and gave the stress on command of sovereign
which can make law only through legislation. This school also ignored
the judge made law. About custom they say that the custom are not law
but they are the source of law.
HISTORICAL SCHOOL:- It gives no importance to the legislation rather
gives more importance to custom. According to them the function of law
in only to specify and to correct the custom into law whereas in the
modern times the importance of legislation has considerably been
increased. With the coming of existence of the State the legislation has
http://kuklawnotes.blogspot.in/p/jurisprudence-1-what-is-administration.html 13/42
12/16/2017 Law Notes (LL.B Notes): JURISPRUDENCE
also been come into existence and become most important source of
law. The scope of legislation has become very wide in the modern times.
KINDS OF LEGISLATION:- There are two kinds of the legislation :-
1. Supreme Legislation:- It has the powers of making law and is known
as supreme legislation in each country. This power is vested in
sovereign body in India i.e. Parliament at the centre and legislation in
the State.
2. Subordinate Legislation: It is inferior from supreme legislation and is
indirect legislation. It takes power to make law indirectly from
Parliament, who gave him power to make law that is why is called
subordinate legislation authority. It is further divided into the following
parts :-
i) Autonomous Laws : A group of persons for making law is known as
autonomous law and body i.e University or Boards.
ii) Judicial Rule :- means the rules made by judicial body under power
owed from supreme authority i.e. High courts or supreme court etc.
iii) Local Law: means law made by local bodies under the control of SC
i.e Zila Parishad, Municipal Corporation.
iv) Colonial Law: It is for those countries who are under the control of
any other country can make laws with the permission that country.
Executive Law:- The law and the rule can be made by the executive
body in the State under the power conferred by the Sovereign/
Parliament which is also known as delegated legislation. It includes the
following origins :
I) Legislation:- The legislation is the super power to make law for a
country.
II) Executive:-The executive body of the nation is to imposes law in
the country.
III) Judiciary:- The Judiciary is to explain and implies the law so
passed.
Parliament in India delegates its laws making power to the executive
body and this power is called legislated or delegated legislation.
Many reform acts were handing power of making reforms,
controlling of employment, development of education. In 20th century
some important matters were given to delegated legislation to restrict
the State to interfere in the daily life of the citizens.
CRITICISM:- Many of the writers has criticized this power because it
gives much power to the executive body and administration body. The
legislation has passed by facing the complicated problems in the
constitution. There were some supporters also who were in the favor of
this delegation of power.
REASONS FOR DELEGATED LEGISLATION
i) Lack of Time:The parliament has the shortage of time because of a
Public welfare state. It has to pay much time towards national problems.
ii) Technicality of Matters:- With the progress of society the things have
become more complicated and technical. Therefore the policy is made
by the Parliament and the imposing matter is left on the masters of it.
iii) Flexibility: Law should be flexible and according to the need &
conditions of the Public along-with the local matters which are different
from area to area, So keeping in view of this reason the power is
handed over to the executive.
There are some dangers in delegations of this power:-
i) The executive body may uses the more powers than the powers
delegated by the Parliament. (ii) The Parliament has no time to examine
the rules passed by the executive under delegated legislation.

12/16/2017 Law Notes (LL.B Notes): JURISPRUDENCE
10 Judges are the makers of law not discovers of law. Do you agree with
this view?
INTRODUTION:- There are two contrary theories regarding the
question as to whether Judges declare the existing law or make the law.
There are two which are as under :-
1. Theory that judges declare the law or Declaratory Theory.
2. Theory that judges make the law or legislative theory. (Law making
theory)
1. DECLARATORY THEORY :- The first theory is the declaratory theory
as described by Hall and Blackstone and they supported by Dr. carten
also.
According to the declaratory theory no new law is created by the
Judge, Courts of Justice do not make law, their province is to ascertain
and declare what the law is. Judges only discover the existing laws.
Hale enunciates declaratory theory of precedents and contends that
whilst Parliament alone legislates in the strict sense the Judges only
expound the law and their decisions are the best evidence of what law
is. The result of his theory is that the effect of the decision is
retrospective for it does not only declare what law is but what it always
has been. Nevertheless as Maine has pointed out once the Judgement
has been declared and reported we start with a new train of thought and
frequently admit that the law has been modified.
According to Lord Esher, There is in fact no such hing as Judge-
made law, for h judge do not make the law, though they frequently have
to apply the existing law to the circumstances as to which it has not
previously been authoritatively laid down that such law is applicable.
Declaratory theory is based on the fiction that the English law is an
existing something which is only declared by the Judges. This theory is
known as the theory of judicial precedent.
LAW MAKING THEORY
The second theory is that the Judges do not declare law but make the
law in the sense of manufacturing of creating entirely new law. Bentham
http://kuklawnotes.blogspot.in/p/jurisprudence-1-what-is-administration.html 17/42
12/16/2017 Law Notes (LL.B Notes): JURISPRUDENCE
and Austin, have opposed the traditional view as a childish fiction and
have declared that Judges are in fact the makers and fulfill a function
very similar to that of the legislature.
Lord Becon: The new point decided by the Judges is a direct
contribution towards law-making. Professor Dicey supported this view
and gives example of English common law which has been made by the
judges which has been made by the judges through their judicial
pronouncements.
Prof. Gray : supports this law making theory and says that judges alone
are the makers of law. He discredits the declaratory theory.
Judges are without any query law-makers but their power of law
making is not un-restricted. It is strictly limited for instance they cannot
over rule a statute where the statute clearly lays down the law. The
legislative powers are restricted to the facts of case before them.
According to Salmond : Who is strong support of this view says that he
is evidently troubled in mind as to the true position of precedent. He
further says that both in law and in equity declaratory theory altogether
totally rejected.
Such cases which are not covered by existing laws the judicial
decisions created new notions and formulae new principles which were
never contemplated earlier. Supreme court over-ruled the Golak Nath
decision in Keshwanand Bharis case and laid down a new basic
structure theory and in Golak nath case the new principle of prospective
over-ruling was evolved by Judges.
RECONCILAION OF THE TWO THEORIES
The above two views about making of law by judges are not exclusive of
each other but they are rather complementary. It will be seen that
neither the purely declaratory theory nor the purely legislative theory
represents the whole truth. Judges develop the law but cannot be said
to legislate. The common law is not made but has grown and the more it
changes the more it remains the same thing.
The answer to the question whether the Judges make or
discover law much depends upon the nature of the particular legal
system. In common law system it may be stated that the Judges make
law while in other countries where is law is codified the judges only
supplement the law. It is true that custom and statutes do not render the
judges some super fulvous knowledge.
11 Explain the phrase, Law is social Engineering as propounded by
Roscoe Pound.
INTRODUCTION:- Roscoe Pound is considered to be the, American
Leader in the field of Sociological jurisprudence. He comes from
Harvard Law School and had a great academic favour. According to
him, the end of law should be to satisfy a maximum of wants with
minimum of friction. He defined law as containing the rules, principles,
conceptions and standards of conduct and decision as also the precepts
and doctrines of professional rules of art. He considers law as a means
of a developed technique and treats jurisprudence as social
engineering.
The main propositions of Roscoe Pound theory of Social Engineering
are as under:-

13 Lay down the essential features of the Historical school. Discuss the
views of Society in this regard. OR Discuss the philosophy of law as
given by Sovging under Historical School? OR Write critically note on
the following Soveging (Volkgeist Theory).
INTRODUCTION:- Jurisprudence is a subject in which the definition
nature and the sources of law are studied various writers under various
schools have defined law. Austin under Analytical school says that law
is the command of sovereign. He added only the law in the study of
jurisprudence. But under historical school Soviging says that law is the
general consciousness (Volkgeist) of the people. It means what the
common people think or behave is the base of law. Law shows the
general nature of the common people. This theory of Volkgeist is
bassed on the historical method. Soveging is the father of it. According
to Soveging, Law is the General consciousness of he people.
HISTORICAL SCHOOL
http://kuklawnotes.blogspot.in/p/jurisprudence-1-what-is-administration.html 21/42
12/16/2017 Law Notes (LL.B Notes): JURISPRUDENCE
Historical School is a branch of Law, which studies law from the past
history. It says that law is based on the General Consciousness of
people. The consciousness started from the very beginning of the
society. There was no person like sovereign for the creation of law.
The law in the ancient times was based mainly upon
simple rules, regulation, custom, usages conventions etc. These things
were later on developed by the jurists and lawyers. These things were
later on converted into set form of law.
CAUSES OF COMMING OF THE HISTORICAL SCHOOL
14 Define Precedents? Lay down the importance of the precedents as
the source of law. In what sense they are binding? Do the judges make
law?
INRODUCTION:- Precedents literally means previous judicial decision.
The decisions of the higher courts are binding on the lower courts. The
binding force of decision is called precedent. The precedents play an
important role in the development of law. It is the second important
source of law. First source is customs and the third source is legislation.
Sometimes act may be insufficient for the case or there may be an
vacuum or any thing missing in the act. Under these circumstances the
court can apply their own mind. These independent decisions becomes
precedents which are followed later on by the same & Lower courts.
This method of decision is also called as Judge made law. The English
and American law is mostly based upon the precedents. In India Art.141
of Indian Constitution says that the decision of the higher courts shall be
binding upon the lower courts.
DEFINATION OF PRECEDENTS:- Precedents are a decision of a court
which is also called judicial decision. According to the Oxford University,
Precedents means the previous decision case given by a court
according to rules. Various writers have given the definition of
precedents is conduct of court adopted by the lower court in similar facts

CONCLUSION
No doubt Duguit was a sociologist because he gave a lot of
development to society. The social solidarity itself contains the welfare of
the people. Duguit said that law should be according to the social
solidarity. Here he discards natural principal but the theory of the social
solidarity itself is based upon natural law, which demands that the
people should served properly according to their needs. In this way
Duguit put out the natural law principal from the door and accepted
through the window.
However the contribution of Duguit is accepted by many writers and
some of them also adopted this theory.

:-
1.Possession 2. Enjoyment 3. Disposal.
According to Salmond :- Salmond defines ownership as a relationship
between person and the right. Right means to have a thing under
possession. Thing always represents physical objects. But right always
represents a thing which is not in physical existence like copy right and
allowances are always thing which are called property. And which are
not in physical existence.
Salmond has included all those right which are property in the concept
of ownership. In view of the above it is learnt that Austin and Holland
definitions are not complete. But salmond is completely perfect in his
definition.
KINDS OF OWNERSHIP
There are various kinds of ownership which are as under :-
1. Corporal and Incorporeal ownership: Corporeal and incorporeal
ownership also called material and immaterial ownership. Corporeal
ownership is the ownership of a material object and incorporeal
ownership is the ownership of a right. Ownership of a house, a table or a
machine is corporeal ownership. Ownership of copyright a patent or a
trade mark is incorporeal ownership.
2. Sole and co-ownership:- The general principal of ownership is that
vested in one person only. But some times it vested in many persons in
other words two or more person have the right of ownership. If only one
person have right of ownership that known as sole ownership and where
two or more persons have the right of ownership then know as co-
ownership.
3. Vested and contingent ownership:- Ownership is either vested or
contingent it is vested ownership when the title of the owner is already
perfect. It is contingent ownership when the title of the ownership is yet
imperfect.
4. Absolute and Limited ownership:- means owner is one in whom are
vested all the rights over a thing to the exclusion of all or when a person
has an absolute right over his property known as absolute ownership.
When there are limitations on the user duration or disposal of rights of
ownership the ownership is limited ownership.
5. Legal and Equitable ownership:- Legal ownership is that which has its
origin in the rules of common law. Equitable ownership is that which
proceeds from the rules of equity. Legal right may be enforced in rem
but equitable rights are enforced in personam.
CONCLUSION
The ownership is a relationship between person and the right. These
rights include the right of possession enjoyment and disposal of the
property. If all conditions are there then it is called Ownership.

Even though right and duties are opposite points but there is a great
relation between two relations. The right and duties has a relation of
Father and Child, Husband and Wife because there is no father without
child and no wife without husband. So right and duties cannot be
separated form each other.
Right/Claim Liberty or privilege Power Immunity
Duty No claim Liability Disliability
