De Jure
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
De jure [Lat.] (by right), opposed to de facto. The most striking instance of the recognition by our law of the distinction between things de jure and de facto is found in the statute-book, which entitles the first Act of Parliament passed in the reign of Charles the Second as of the twelfth year of his reign, the previous years having been spent by him in exile, and the affairs of the kingdom having been conducted by the Protector. See DE FACTO
