Definition :

Ordinarily resides, the expression 'ordinarily resides' signifies something more than a temporary residence. When a person leaves a place where he had been residing a permanent resident for good i.e., with no intention to come back and goes to some other place to live there, the former place where he used to live, classes to be his ordinary place of residence and the later place becomes his ordinary place of residence. The question of residence is largely a question of intention. However in cases of minor no question of intention can arise. The place has to be determined by finding out as to whether the minor was ordinarily residing and where such residence would have continued but for the recent removal of the minor to different place, Jagdish Chandra Gupta v.
