Relating To - Definition - Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition relating-to

Definition :

Relating to, words 'relating to' words of com-prehensiveness which might both have a direct as well as an indirect significance, depending on the context. They are not words of restrictive context, State of Wakf Board v. Abdul Azeez Sahib, AIR 1968 Mad 79.

The words 'relating to' are of wide import and can take in their sweep any suit in which the grievance is made that the defendant is threatening to illegally recover possession from the plaintiff-licensee. Suits for protecting such possession of immovable property against the alleged illegal attempts on the part of the dependant to forcibly recover such possession from the plaintiff, can clearly get covered by the wide sweep of the words 'relating to recovery of possession' as employed by s. 41(1), Manusukhlal Dhanraj Jain v. Eknath Vithal Ogale, AIR 1995 SC 1102 (1105): (1995) 2 SCC 665. [Presidency Small Cause Courts Act (15 of 1882), s. 41(1)]
