- B.

- C.
The Hindu Succession Act shall prevail as 3 wills cannot be created.
- D.
The Will shall prevail over the Hindu Succession Act.
Correct Answer
D. The Will shall prevail over the Hindu Succession Act.Explanation
The correct answer is "The Will shall prevail over the Hindu Succession Act." This is because a will is a legal document that expresses a person's final wishes regarding the distribution of their property after death. As long as the will was validly executed and not revoked, it takes precedence over the general laws of succession. In this case, although there were multiple wills and revocations, the last will created in 2005 would be considered the most recent expression of the individual's wishes and would therefore prevail over the Hindu Succession Act.Rate this question:

International Law recognizes the principle of territoriality, which means that each country has jurisdiction over acts committed within its own territory. Therefore, a country cannot declare illegal a transaction between two foreigners that is intended to be carried out in their own respective countries, as it goes against the principle of territorial sovereignty.Rate this question:

The correct answer is that the law of contract generally concerns a relationship between two parties only. This means that contracts are typically formed between two individuals or entities, and the rights and obligations under the contract are enforceable between these parties. In contrast, the law of tort involves actions that cause harm or injury to others, and the injured party can seek compensation or damages from the party responsible for the harm. Tort law is not limited to a specific relationship between two parties and can involve multiple parties.Rate this question:
