Abstract:
The customary laws of Union Territory of Lakshadweep islands are a
challenge for judicial institution as well as administrative machinery. With the
peculiarities of socio-legal institutions, Lakshadweep system stands apart from the
mainstream of legal systems in India. How far do the charismatic modernisation
trends flowing into the Lakshadweep society affect the people already protected
by the uncodified laws of the past? Many are the issues at this stage. This study
analyses them. It examines the growth, evolution and development of the legal
system in the islands vis-a-vis the administrative mechanism imposed by the
mainland ethos and culture.
