Judgment text as reported

Mst. MUMTAZ BIBI VS QASIM Source of law---Commentary on Muslim Personal Law by Dinshaw Fardunji Mulla---Validity---Dinshaw Fardunji Mulla was not a Muslim scholar who can be accredited with religious expertise to interpret precepts of Islam---Dinshaw Fardunji Mulla, of Zoroastrian faith by descent, was a legal scholar who authored treatises on various subjects of law, including contract law and Muslim Personal Law---Treatise of Dinshaw Fardunji Mulla on Muslim Personal Law is like any other legal commentary by a scholar of law as opposed to the commentary by a Muslim jurist with expertise or authority to interpret primary sources of Islamic Law---Dinshaw Mulla's commentary can therefore not be treated as a source of law itself but like any other treatise commenting on a subject of law can be used as a reference and a commentary.
