Lord Cornwallis, the British Governor General of India, introduced 48 regulations in 1793 which are generally known as the Cornwallis Code. This Code originated from a number of earlier regulations, viz, the orders and regulations introduced between 1772 and 1790, Hindu and Muslim laws, traditional institutions, the regulations of permanent settlement, and the British laws. The aim of the Cornwallis Code was to introduce an institutional code of law and an administrative system suitable for British colonial state. On 1 May 1793, Cornwallis announced his Code. Permanent settlement is the main subject of the Cornwallis Code. Earlier, the District Collector was at the same time the tax administrator, judge and magistrate.
