5 Manager of the House and Property in Common

The manager (jamindar/jethan of the household tradition): the family-head's stewardship of the common property — the jethani-jethan seniority tradition's modern residue; the manager's powers: management-and-cultivation; the family's maintenance-and-expenses; the limited disposal power — the case-law's classic rule: Rabindra Kami v. Tilottama Kami (NKP 2062, Vol. 4, D.No. 7528): the household manager may dispose of up to half of the ancestral immovable property without the other coparceners' consent (the old Partition Law's Section 19(1) as applied — the mother-as-manager's deed sustained within the half); beyond-and-for-necessity: the consent-or-court-sanction requirements; the manager's fiduciary accountability (the accounts- and-offsets at partition: the manager's expenditures credited-and-advances charged — the hishab- kitab); the Code 2074's consent regime (the major-disposal consents; the minor's-and-absent members' protection).
