Anon

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Anon., An., A., abbreviation for anonymous. Anon. is frequently in the older reports used as the title of a case where the reporter for some reason or other was unable or unwilling to state the names of the parties. In modern times the names of the parties in nullity suits in the Divorce Court are generally concealed under initials, and this has been also done in Bankruptcy cases, which have been often styled 'A Debtor, In re,' to the considerable confusion of references.

Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
