 Acknowledgement
The success and final outcome of this project required a lot of guidance and assistance from
many people and I am extremely fortunate to have got this all along the completion of my
project. Whatever I have done is only due to such guidance and I would never forget to thank
them.

I take this opportunity to record deep sense of gratitude to my teacher,

Dr. Nancy Sharma Ma’am, University Institute of Legal Studies, Chandigarh for her
incontestably perfect unmatched guidance, encouragement, valuable suggestions and efforts
made during the preparation of this project and during her lectures which enabled me to
complete this project successfully on the topic,

“Guardianship under Hindu Law”

I owe my regards to the entire faculty of the Department of Legal Studies from where I have
learnt the basics of law and whose informal discussions, intellectual support helped me in the
entire duration of this work.
