Malik And 'Malik Kamil

Malik and 'Malik kamil, the word 'Malik' is not a term of art implying full proprietary ownership free from any limitation. On the contrary, it is a term which has to be interpreted according to the surrounding circumstances of each case. The addition of the word 'kamil' does not have any sensible effect, although it is doubtless a slightly stronger term or form of expression to say that someone is 'Malik kamil' or absolute owner than that he is only 'Malik' which in proper cases would also mean absolute owner, Rani Huzur Ara Begum v.
