Lord Cornwallis prepared the law code with the help of his colleague George Barlow. This code was a comprehensive code and covered all sectors of administration that comprised police, judicial, fiscal and commercial. It was based on the principle of Montesquieu that means The Separation of Powers. This concept was already in practice in the West.
