WHEREAS it is enacted by Section IX. Regulation VII. 1832, of the
Bengal code, that " whenever in any civil suit the parties to such suit may
be of different persuasions, when one party shall be of the Hindoo and the
other of the Mahommedan persuasion; or where one or more of the
parties to the suit shall not be either of the Mahommedan or Hindoo
persuasions ; the laws of those religions shall not be permitted to operate
to deprive such party or parties of any property to which, but for the
operation of such laws, they would have been entitled;" and whereas it
will be beneficial to extend the principle of that enactment throughout
the territories subject to the Government of the East-India Company, it
is enacted as follows :
So much of any law or usage now in force within the territories subject
to the Government of the East-India Company, as inflicts on any person
forfeiture of rights or property, or may be held in any way to impair or
affect any right of inheritance by reason of his or her renouncing, or
having been excluded from the communion of any religion, or being
deprived of caste, shall cease to be enforced as law in the courts of the
East-India Company, and in the courts established by royal charter within
the said territories.
