Dependent
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Dependent, 'dependent' has a wholly artificial meaning different from its statutory definition. No coparcener in a Hindu undivided family is a dependent of the family; he is an owner of the entire property of the family in common with the other coparceners. His rights arise on birth into the family, and so long as the family remains joint, his internest in the property is no whit less than the interest of any other coparcener, C.F.T. v. Darshan Surendra Parekh, AIR 1968 SC 1125: (1968) 2 SCR 589. [Expenditure Tax Act, 1957, s. 2(g)]
Means any person who is related to an emigrant and is dependent on that emigrant. [Emigration Act, 1983 (31 of 1983), s. 2(1)(c)]
Means any person who is related to an emigrant and is dependent on that emigrant. [Emigration Act, 1983 (31 of 1983), s. 2(1)(c)]
