Shiva Gopal 's Conveyancing, Precedents & Forms is a clear, succinct and practical guide to the subject, and has today assumed the position of a classic on the subject. Five editions and several reprints have gone by and this is now the sixth edition of the work.

The new edition follows the style and pattern of the earlier editions and at the beginning of each chapter an updated text explains in sufficient detail the relevant law regarding the type of documents covered by that chapter.

In the new edition statutory law amendments have been incorporated at the respective places and new precedents have been added where necessary. Latest case-law has also been added to the book.

The book is once again divided into three parts -

Part I deals with conveyancing of deeds.

Part II deals with drafting of petitions for Courts under some special enactments.
