In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-śāstraKrītānuśaya (क्रीतानुशय) refers to “cancellation of purchase”, and is commonly classified as one of the eighteen vyavahārapada, or “law titles” in the ancient Dharmaśāstras. These vyavahārapadas are categories of ‘legal procedures’ and define a major type of crime for which a person may be tried. The term is derived from vyavahāra (“lawsuits” or “case”) which defines the case between the plaintiff and the defendant, which is often related to social and commercial transactions.
Vikrītakrītānuśaya is mentioned in the following sources as one of the eighteen vyavahārapadas: the Yājñavalkyasmṛti (2.5) and the Nāradasmṛti (mātṛkā 1.30). In the Manusmṛti this is known as Krayavikrayānuśaya (‘cancellation of sale purchase’) and in the Arthaśāstra as Vikrītakrītānuśaya (‘cancellation of purchase or sale’).
Dharmashastra (धर्मशास्त्र, dharmaśāstra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.
