ACodification in writing by Parliament
BReasonableness
CCertainty
DContinuous and compulsory observance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Codification in writing by Parliament
1. The unit lists eight requisites of a valid custom.
2. These include Antiquity, Certainty, Reasonableness, Compulsory Observance, Conformity with Law and Public Morality.
3. Also Unanimity of Opinion, Peaceable Enjoyment and Consistency.
4. Codification in writing by Parliament is not in this list — a custom is binding by usage, not by codification.
5. So codification-by-Parliament is NOT a requisite for a valid custom.
