The Bombay Regulations

The Bombay Regulations by Ram Shelkar, published by Nasik Law House (Edition 2023), is a comprehensive, carefully revised compilation of the historic regulations that governed civil, judicial, administrative, and revenue affairs during the Bombay Presidency era. These regulations, foundational to early administrative governance in Western India, are presented with updated annotations, concise historical overviews, and insightful interpretative notes that bridge the gap between past statutory frameworks and modern legal understanding. The book offers section-wise clarity, simplifies archaic language, and explains the regulatory intent behind each provision. It highlights how these regulations influenced the development of administrative law, judicial processes, territorial governance, and revenue administration. Researchers will find the commentary especially valuable for tracing legislative evolution, while practitioners and students benefit from a structured, easy-to-navigate presentation of otherwise difficult-to-access early legal material. Designed as an essential reference for law libraries, academic institutions, and professionals engaged in legal history or administrative studies, this 2023 edition preserves authenticity while enhancing usability. Its detailed indexation and contextual insights make it a rare and authoritative resource for understanding the origins of statutory governance in India.
