With respect to such goods
With respect to such goods, the expression 'with respect of such goods'had obviously to be used at the end of the s. because the second and third parts of the s. start with the words 'if any person is in relation to any goods...... knowingly concerned in any fraudulent evasion or attempt at evasion'. The words 'such goods' have clearly reference to 'any goods' at the commencement of the s. These words are not descriptive of the kind of goods to which the first part of the s. is applicable, Assistant Collector of Customs (Prevention) v. Babu Miya Sheikh Imam, AIR 1983 SC 974: (1983) 3 SCR 500: (1983) 3 SCC 447. [Customs Act, 1962, s. 135 (i)(a) (ii)]...
Confession to a priest
Confession to a priest. The English law does not recognise the duty of a priest (whether Roman Catholic or Anglican) to keep secrets revealed to him in his religious character, Normanshaw v. Normanshaw, (1893) 69 LT 468; Wheeler v. Le Marchant, (1881) 17 Ch D 681; but some judges have disapproved of extorting such secrets [see, e.g., per Best, C.J., in Broad v. Pitt, (1828) 3 C&P 518]. The practice of the law on this subject is very uncertain, and in Phillimore's Ecclesiastical Law as edited by Phillimore, L.J., when at the bar, the view is taken that it is not improbable that an English Court would decide the question in favour of the inviolability of confession and expand the law into harmony with that of other Christian states. See Best, Ev.; Taylor, Ev. The 113th Canon provides that 'if any man confess his secret and hidden sins to the minister for the unburdening of his conscience, and to receive spiritual consolation and ease of mind from him,' he 'do not reveal to any person who...
