As the case may be, expression 'as the case may be' is otherwise rendered superflous, Union of India v. Ashok Kumar, (2005) 8 SCC 760.--the words 'as the case may be' would only mean 'whichever the case may be', Shri Balaganesan Metals v. M.M. Shanmughan Chetty, (1987) 2 SCC 707 (718): AIR 1987 SC 1668. [T.N. Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 (60 of 1960) s. 10(3)(c)]The expression 'as the case may be' is what the expression says, i. e. as the situation may be, in other words in case there are separate and distinct units then concept of need will apply accordingly.

Burden of proof

Burden of proof [onus probandi, Lat.]. the most prominent canon of evidence is, that the point in issue is to be proved by the party who asserts the affirmative, according to the civil law maxims, Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, nonqui negat; Actori incumbit onus probandi; and Affirmanti non neganti incumbit probatio. The burden of proof lies on the person who has to support his case by proof of a fact which is peculiarly within his own knowledge, or of which he is supposed to be cognizant. See Best on Evidence, Bk. III., Pt. 1, ch. 2.The expression 'burden of proof' really means two different things. It means sometimes that a party is required to prove an allegation before judgment can be given in its favour; it also means that on a contested issue one of the two contending parties has to introduce evidence, Narayan Bhagwantrao Gosavi v. Gopal Vinayak Gosavi, AIR 1960 SC 100: (1960) 1 SCR 773: (1960) SCJ 263.The phrase 'burden of proof' has not been defined in the Indian Evidence Act....


Commercial establishment

Commercial establishment, in the definition of a Commercial Establishment in s. 2 cl. 3 of the U.P. Shops and Commercial Eastblishment Act, 1947, the clerical and other establishments of a factory to whom the provisions of the Factories Act, 1934, do not apply, are included in the connotation of that expression. It is true that the reference in the definition by which clerical and other establish-ments of factories are included is to the Factories Act of 1934, but by virtue of s. 8 of the General Clauses (1987 10 of 1897), it must be construed as a reference to the provisions of the Factories Act LXIII of 1948 which repealed the Factories Act of 1934 and re-enacted it. It is difficult to say that field workers who are employed in guiding, supervising and controlling the growth and supply of sugarcane to be used in the factory are employed either in the precincts of the factory or in the premises of the factory; and if these workers are not employed in a factory, the provisions of the F...


Reasonable opportunity

Reasonable opportunity, the broad test of 'reason-able opportunity' is, whether in the given case, the show cause notice issued to the delinquent servant contained or was accompanied by so much information as was necessary to enable him to clear himself of the guilt, if possible, even at that stage, or, in the alternative, to show that the penalty proposed was much too, harsh and disproportion-ate to the nature of the charge established against him, Uttar Pradesh Government v. Sabir Hussain, AIR 1975 SC 2045 (2048): (1975) 4 SCC 703: (1975) Supp SCR 354.
