PREFACE

A fairly good command over law subjects is essential for any

law graduate to become a successul lawyer or a judge. Then
which is the best way to deal with all the major, minor &
local laws? Mere reading of bare act is not sufficient to
enhance legal knowledge. Linking method is the one such
unique & revolutionised way to study all the procedural &
substantial laws.

Linking Laws technique provides better chances of success in imparting knowledge

of the statutory provisions and alos developing insight into the subject. This linking
approach is designed to make subjects more intresting and meaningful. The
arrangment of sections of a staute is done in such a impressive way that it will
assist a learner to go through several statutes in a single stroke.

After going through this study material, a learner would surely be able to
acknowledge that linking approach is an adequate method to study the basic
fundamental principals of law along with the analysis of relevant sections.
