Development of law on a case-law basis provides scope for both error and evolution. This paper focuses on the question of gifts to minors by looking at a pivotal Privy Council decision of 1928; the restrictive interpretation placed on that decision by the Courts of British India; and the manner in which the decision of the Privy Council has been distinguished, ignored, or superseded by the Courts of post-Partition India and Pakistan in decisions resurrecting pre-1928 case-law and invoking the authorities which underlay, and the textbook comments which reflected, the earlier position.
