Our Government

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Our Government, the expression 'Our Govern-ment' means the Maharaja's Government, in other words, the Government of the State of Travancore. After the integration of the two States of Travancore and Cochin and the formation of the United State of Travancore-Cochin the expression 'Our Government' has to be construed according to the new set-up of government and when the Council of Ministers had come into being, it is obvious that the expression 'Our Government' as adapted to fit in with the new Constitution means 'The Council of Ministers', P. Joseph John v. State of Travancore-Cochin, (1955) 1 SCR 1011: AIR 1955 SC 160 (165). [Travancore Public Servants (Inquiries) Act (11 of 1122 ME), s. 1.]
