<summary type="text">Transfer of property act, IV of 1882
Huq, Obaidul
Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (Act IV of 1882) enacted with a view to 'define and amend certain parts of law relating to transfer of properties by acts of parties'. This is not a consolidating Act, nor does it purport to be a complete code dealing with the transfer of properties. It only deals with the transfer of immovable property including certain incorporeal rights by one living person to another living person by voluntary acts. It is based on the English law of real property, and many of its provisions are borrowed from various enactments which it repeals and supersedes.&#13;
Although the Act applies to the transfer of properties between living persons, the ambit of the words 'living person', by an amendment in 1925, has been enlarged to include artificial or legal person such as a company or an association of individuals. It includes current as well as future transfer transactions. In this Act, 'property' has been defined in a generic sense to mean not only physical objects but also interests comprised therein. It includes the right of equity redemption and a debt secured by charges. Actionable claims are also properties of this category.&#13;
The Transfer of Property Act specifically deals with certain modes of transfer of properties by way of sale, mortgage, gift, exchange and lease. Sale of immovable properties of the value of one hundred taka or more must be effected by registered instrument. Immovable properties of the value of less than one hundred taka can be transferred either by a registered instrument or by simple delivery of possession. The rights and obligations of the buyers and sellers have been enumerated in section 55 of the Act. The Act defines mortgage as the transfer of an interest in specific immovable property for the purpose of securing payment of money advanced by way of loan or performance of an engagement which may give rise to a pecuniary liability. The Act enumerates six types of mortgages, viz, (i) simple mortgage, (ii) mortgage by conditional sale, (iii) usufructuary mortgage, (iv) English mortgage, (v) mortgage by deposit of title deed and (vi) anomalous mortgage. In all mortgages where the principal money secured is one hundred taka or more, every mortgage other than a mortgage by deposit of title deeds has to be registered as well as effected with at least two witnesses.&#13;
The Transfer of Property Act is a general law dealing with the various modes of transfer of immovable properties and actionable claims. Any dispute arising out of this Act comes within the jurisdiction of the civil court. While the transfer of agricultural land was governed by the BENGAL TENANCY ACT (now EAST BENGAL STATE ACQUISITION AND TENANCY ACT), the transfer of both non-agricultural land and houses and premises on such land was regulated by the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act till enactment of separate legislation on the subjects. These separate and special statutes are (i) The Non-Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1949 and (ii) The Premises Rent Control Act, 1991. The latter had its origin in the Bengal House Rent Control Order, 1942. The disputes relating to determination of rent for premises and deposit of rent by the tenant, repair of rental premises in municipal areas are to be filed with and settled by the Controller (of House Rents) appointed under the Premises Rent Control Act, 1991.

<summary type="text">Roman law in context
Johnston, David
Roman Law in Context explains how Roman law worked for those who lived by it, by viewing it in the light of the society and economy in which it operated. The book discusses three main areas of Roman law and life: the family and inheritance; property and the use of land; commercial transactions and the management of businesses. It also deals with the question of litigation and how readily the Roman citizen could assert his or her legal rights in practice. In addition it provides an introduction to using the main sources of Roman law. The book ends with an epilogue discussing the role of Roman law in medieval and modern Europe, a bibliographical essay, and a glossary of legal terms. The book involves the minimum of legal technicality and is intended to be accessible to students and teachers of Roman history as well as interested general readers.

Law, Ministry
Special Powers Act, 1974 promulgated on 9 February 1974 (Act XlV of 1974) providing special measures for prevention of certain prejudicial activities and for conducting more speedy trial and effective punishment for certain grave offences. It was a follow-up of the repealed Security Act, 1952, Public Safety Ordinance, 1958 and Bangladesh Scheduled Offences (Special Tribunal) Order, 1972 (President's Order No. 50 of 1972).&#13;
&#13;
Political exigencies were, however, instrumental in prompting amendments or deletion, or insertion of additional provisions, especially with regard to freedom of the press. The major insertions were related to counterfeiting currency notes and government stamps, smuggling, adulteration of food and drink, drugs and cosmetics, conspiracy to commit offences as well as related offences by companies. Under section 2, the Act defines a prejudicial act as any deed which is intended or likely to (i) prejudice the sovereignty or defence of Bangladesh; (ii) prejudice the maintenance of friendly relations of Bangladesh with foreign states; (iii) prejudice the security of Bangladesh or to endanger public safety or maintenance of public order; (iv) create or excite feelings of enemity or hatred between different communities, classes or sections of people; (v) interfere with or encourage or incite interference with the administration of law or maintenance of law and order; (vi) prejudice the maintenance of supplies and services essential to the community; (vii) cause fear or alarm to the public or any section of the public; and (viii) prejudice the economic or financial interests of the state

Matin, Abdul
The General Clauses Act can clearly be called a general guide, a small dictionary or an Act interpreting the legal and administrative terms or a grammar of laws and statutes used in our day to day life. The Act as a result plays an important role in the Family of Laws, Acts and Statutes. This aspect of the Act made a stone thrown wave in my mind to write a book on the subject with up to-date. Amendments' and 'case laws specially the case ‘laws and ' amendments of' Bangladesh. But' since the law of this subcontinent has no boarder line, though of the territorial line, I tried to furnish the important .case- laws of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan to make the book an enriched one, going back to the case laws even of about  ninety years. I shall fell highly rewarded if the book serves the need of' the Judges, the members of the legal pJ: confession, the research scholars, students and to those who reserve the thirst of reading the legal treatises.

Vold, George Bryan
This is a fantastic book for anyone doing an undergraduate degree in Criminology, anyone interested in Criminology, and/or anyone doing a Law degree. I am studying both Law and Criminology and 'Theoretical Criminology' has been an enormous help in my studies. The text is set out logically and in plain language, yet it provides a well-rounded and in-depth discussion of criminological theories and their origins. This is a fascinating piece of literature. Please note that this is not a text directly compatible with a Law degree, but an excellent supplement and allows for depth of knowledge regarding crime.

<summary type="text">Customary  international  humanitarian law : volume I- rules
ICRC
International humanitarian law (IHL), also known as the law of war or the law of armed conflict, is the area of public international law which aims, “for humanitarian reasons, to limit the effects of armed conflict. It protects persons who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities and restricts the means and methods of warfare”. War is as old as mankind and so, in a sense, is IHL. Behavior during armed conflict “has always been subject to certain principles and customs”, based on the practices of armies around the world. Since the mid-19th century, however, many such rules have been codified by States in international treaties, like the Hague Regulations and Geneva Conventions.  Not withstanding this increasing codification of IHL, customary rules remain relevant in contemporary armed conflicts.
