Public order
Public order, expression 'public order' has a distinct corrodation. Investigation into the offence under the Essential Commodities Act, may not be equated with the maintenance of public order as is commonly understood, Romesh Lal Jain v. Naginder Singh Rana, (2006) 1 SCC 294.Public order, has a comprehensive meaning so as to include public safety in its relation to the maintenance of public order and maintenance of public order involves consideration of public safety.

Industry
Industry, 'Industrial dispute' and 'workman' taken in the extended significance, or exclude it. Though the word 'undertaking' in definition of industry is wedged in between business and trade on the one hand and manufacture on the other, and though therefore it might mean only a business or trade undertaking, still it must be remembered that if that were so, there was no need to use the word separately from business or trade. The wider import is attracted even more clearly when we look at the latter part of the definition which refers to 'calling, service, employment, or industrial occupation of, avocation of workman. 'Undertak-ing' in the first part of the definition and 'industrial occupation or avocation in the second part obviously mean much more than what is ordinarily understood by trade or business.

Relinquishment and assignment of tenancy
Relinquishment and assignment of tenancy, the distinction between an assignment on the one hand and relinquishment or surrender on the other is too plain to be ignored. In the case of an assignment, the assignor continues to be liable to be landlord for the performance of his obligation under the tenancy and this liability is contractual while the assignee becomes liable by reason of privity of estate. The consent of the landlord to an assign-ment is not necessary, in the absence of a contract or local usage to the contrary. But in the case of relinquishment, it cannot be a unilateral transac-tion; it can only be in favour of the lessor by mutual agreement between them. The relinquishment of possession must be to the lessor or one who holds his interest. In fact, a surrender or relinquishment terminates the lessee's rights and lets in the lessor, W. H. King v. Republic of India, AIR 1952 SC 156 (158): 1952 SCR 418. [Transfer of Property Act, 1882, s. 108(j)]...
