Annuity
Annuity, in order to constitute an annuity, the payment to be made periodically should be a fixed or predetermined one, and it should not be liable to any variation depending upon or on any ground relating to the general income of the fund or estate which is charged for such payment, CWT v. P. K. Banerjee, (1981) 1 SCC 63 (75): AIR 1981 SC 401.

Hundred
Hundred, a subdivision of the county, the nature of which is not known with certainty. In the Dialogus de Scaccario, it is said that a hunred 'ex hydarum aliquot centenariis, sed non determinatis constat; quidam enim ex pluribus, quidam ex pauucioribus constat.' Some accounts make it consist of precisely a hundred hides: others, of a hundred tithing, or of a hundred fee families. Certain it is that whatever may have been its original organization, the hundred, at the period when it became known to us, differed greatly as to the extent in the several parts of England. This division is ascribed to King Alfred, and he may possibly have introduced it into England, though it was established among the Franks in the sixth century. In the capitularies of Charlemagne we meet with it in the form known among us, Capit. 1. 3, c. x. See HUNDREDORS....
Tenancy in Common
Tenancy in Common. Legal estate in undivided shares inland has been abolished by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 1, which reduced the interest of tenants-in-common to that of a cestui que trust under a trust for sale of land. The following notes have been kept verbatim to explain titles as they existed immediately before 1926. This estate is created when several persons have several distinct estates, either of the same or of a different quantity, in any subject of property, in equal or unequal shares, and either by the same act or by several acts, and by several titles, and not a joint title. A tenancy-in-common will, as a rule, be construed to exist wherever the instrument creating it indicates that the land is to be held in shares, equally, or in moieties, or the nature of the transaction is such as to preclude the intention of survivorship such as an acquisition of land by partners for the purposes of their business.A tenancy-in-common differs from a joint-tenancy in this respect:...
