About the Historic Author

Sir Dinshah Fardunji Mulla (1868 – 1934)

Sir D.F. Mulla was one of India’s most distinguished legal scholars, jurists, and judges. Born into a Parsi merchant family in Bombay, his journey into law was famously inspired by a personal letter from the British poet laureate Lord Alfred Tennyson. Mulla co-founded the prominent law firm Mulla & Mulla in 1895, served as the principal of Government Law College, Bombay, and was knighted in 1930. He ultimately attained global elite status when appointed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London.

Today, his masterly treatises remain the ultimate foundational texts for Indian civil litigation and commercial law. Continually updated by leading contemporary jurists, his works are heavily cited by the Supreme Court of India and High Courts nationwide.
