Succession of Muslim tenant devolves by:

A. Customary law
B. Sections 20–23
C. Muslim Personal Law
D. Collector orders
Correct Answer: C. Muslim Personal Law

In many legal systems, matters of succession, inheritance, and personal status for specific religious communities are governed by their respective personal laws. Option C: 'Muslim Personal Law' is accurate because the succession of a Muslim tenant, particularly concerning their tenancy rights, is primarily governed by the specific provisions of Muslim Personal Law, which dictates the inheritance rules applicable to their community based on Sharia principles.

  • Option A: 'Customary law' might apply in some contexts but is generally superseded by codified personal laws for Muslims.
  • Option B: 'Sections 20–23' refers to specific statutory sections, which might be part of a broader act, but the overarching principle for Muslims is their personal law.
  • Option D: 'Collector orders' implies administrative discretion, which is not the primary mode of devolution for personal succession matters.
