Home Dictionary Name: anyAny person
Any person, the effect of the 1994 amendment on s. 147 is unambiguous. Where earlier, the words 'any person' could be held not to include the owner of the goods or his authorised representative travelling in the goods vehicle, Parliament has now made it clear that such a construction is no longer possible. The scope of this rationale does not, however, extend to cover the class of cases where gratuitous passengers for whom no insurance policy was envisaged, and for whom no insurance premium was paid, employed the goods vehicle as a medium of conveyance, National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Baljit Kaur, (2004) 2 SCC 1 (5): AIR 2004 SC 1340. [Motor Vehicles Act, s. 147(1)(b) (as amended in 1994)]The expression 'any person' can be restricted to those on the managerial or administrative staff only.

(Banking Regulation Act, 1949, s. 10)Th...
From any premises
From any premises, The words 'from any premises' cannot be connected with the phrase 'for the fixation of standard rent', because then the preposition would have been 'of any premises' or 'for any premises' and not 'from any premises'. This means that the first phrase has to be read as complete in itself beginning from the words 'for the fixation' and ending with the words 'standard rent'. The second phrase then reads 'or for the eviction of a tenant from any premises'. The words 'from any premises' go very clearly with the words 'eviction of a tenant' and not with the words 'any suit or proceeding', Jai Narain v. Kishanchand, AIR 1969 SC 1165: (1969) 1 SCC 1165: (1969) 3 SCR 854....

State of Uttar Pradesh, (1991) 1 SCC 212: AIR 1991 SC 537 (546): (1991) 1 SCC 212.The expression 'at any time' thus takes in such cases as where the Government decides to make a reference without waiting for conciliation proceedings to begin or to be completed, Western India Match Co Ltd. v. Workers Union, (1970) 1 SCC 225 (231): AIR 1970 SC 1205. [Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (28 of 1947)]Exercise of suo motu power 'at any time' only means that no specific period such as days, months or years are not prescribed reckoning from a particular date.

Body corporate established by any law
Body corporate established by any law, the words 'body corporate established by any law' should be deemed to include even a body corporate established under any law i.e., even a company. But it appears that the words 'body corporate established by any law' have been deliberately used. While all companies and corporations, as defined in the Act are liable to pay bonus, the intention seems to be that only subsidies paid by body corporate established by any law, should be deductible items and not subsidies paid by bodies corporate established under any law.
