Vesting, 'vesting' is a word of slippery import and has many meanings. The sense of the situation suggests that in s. 117(1) of the Act 'vested in the State' carries a plenary connotation, while 'shall vest in the Gaon Sabha' imports a qualified disposition confined to the right to full possession and enjoyment so long as it lasts, Maharaj Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1976 SC 2602: (1977) 1 SCC 155: (1977) 2 SCR 1072. (U.P.Z.A. & LR Act, 1950, s. 4, 6 and 117)
Vesting, any property in a trustee refer to cases where a new trustee is appointed, and are not intended to cover cases in which it is sought to recover possession of the trust property by ejecting trespassers who are wrongfully in possession of it, Johnson D. Po Min v. U. Ogh, AIR 1932 Rang 132: 10 Rang 342.
Vesting assent, defined by s. 117 (1) (xxx.), (English) Settled Land act, 1925, to mean the instrument whereby a personal representative after the death of a tenant for life or statutory owner or the survivor of two or more tenants for life or statutory owners vests settled land in a person entitled as tenant for life or statutory owner. For the contents, see s. 8 and 1st Sch. (ibid.) and VESTING DEED and VESTING INSTRUMENT.
The term 'vesting assent' should be distinguished from an assent by personal representatives (see ASSENT), which vests the property in a person who is not tenant for life or statutory owner (see Bridgett and Hayes' Contract, 1928 Ch 163, and next title).
