The book is a commentary on the Notaries Act, 1952 and the Notaries Rules, 1956.

The eligibility, appointment, renewal, removal, rights and duties of notaries have been exhaustively dealt with in this piece of work. The book covers all relevant legislations that make a notarial act significant not only for national but also for international jurisdictions.

It provides a detailed explanation of the various functions of Notaries including verification, authentication, certification or attestation of any instrument; administration of oath or taking affidavit from any person; translation and verification of the translation of any document from one language to another; acting as a commissioner to record evidence in civil and criminal trial and; acting as an arbitrator, mediator or conciliator, if so required.
