Interlocutory application, is nothing but an applica-tion in the course of an action.

Under any customary or personal law applicable to parties
Under any customary or personal law applicable to parties, the purpose of the payment 'under any customary or personal law' must be to obviate destitution of the divorcee and to provide her with wherewithal to maintain herself. The whole scheme of s. 127(3)(b) is manifestly to recognise the substitute maintenance arrangement by lump sum payment organised by the custom of the community or the personal law of the parties. There must be a rational relation between the sum so paid and its potential as provision for main-tenance; to interpret otherwise is to stultify the project. Law is dynamic and its meaning cannot be pedantic but purposeful, Bai Tahira v. A.C. Hussain Fiddali Chathia, (1979) 2 SCC 316: AIR 1979 SC 362 (365). [Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, s. 127(3)(b)]...
Letters-patent, or letters overt
Letters-patent, or letters overt [fr. liter' patentes, Lat.], writings of the sovereign, sealed with the Great Seal of England, whereby a person or public company is enabled to do acts or enjoy privileges which he or it could not do or enjoy without such authority. They are so called because they are open with the seal affixed and ready to be shown for confirmation of the authority thereby given. Peers are sometimes created by letters-patent, and letters-patent of precedence were granted to barristers. By letters-patent aliens are made denizens, and especially new inventions are protected; hence the incorporeal chattel of patent-right.A 'patent-right' is a privilege granted by the Crown to the first inventor of any new contrivance in manufactures, that he alone shall be entitled, during a limited period, to make Articles according to his own invention--Statute of Monopolies, 21 Jac. 1, c. 3.To be the subject of a patent-right an article must be material and capable of manufacture, an i...

Alien
Alien [fr. alienigena, alibi natus, Lat.], a person not born within His Majesty's dominions and allegiance (q.v.). See definitions in the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Acts, 1914 and 1933, infra. At common law aliens were subject to very many disqualifications, the nature of which is shown by the (English) Act of 1844, 7 & 8 Vict. c. 66, which greatly relaxed the law in their favour. It provided, inter alia, that every person born of a British mother should be capable of holding real or personal estate; that alien friends might hold every species of personal property except chattels real; that subjects of a friendly power might hold lands, etc., for the purposes of residence or business for a term not exceeding twenty-one years; and it also provided for aliens becoming naturalized.Alien, (UK) is a person who is neither a Common-wealth citizen nor a British protected person nor a citizen of the Republic of Ireland. Aliens therefore include both persons having the nationality ...
Quic quid plantatur (or fixature) solo, solo cedit
Quic quid plantatur (or fixature) solo, solo cedit, the maxim, which is found in English law, viz., 'quicquid plantatur solo, solo, cedit', has at the most only a limited application in India. There is nothing in the laws or customs of this country and traces of the existence of an absolute Rule of Law that whatever is affixed or built on the soil becomes a part of it, and is subjected to the same rights of property as the soil itself, Narayan Das Khettry v. Jatindra Nath Roy Chowdhry, AIR 1927 PC 135.There is no custom of Hindu law by which the maxim quicquid plantatur (or aedificatur) solo, solo cedit, has no application at all in India. The English law would apply unless it is clear that by local customary or other law applicable in this country, it does not the Courts of India have excluded the application of the maxim altogether, though they have help and the legislature has said in effect that there are substantial exceptions to the application of the maxim, N.P.A. Chettiar Firm ...

'The purposes of any trade union shall not, by reason merely that they are in restraint of trade, be deemed to be unlawful, so as to render any member of such trade union liable to criminal prosecution for conspiracy or otherwise.'S. 3. 'The purposes of any trade union shall not, by reason merely that they are in restraint of trade, be unlawful so as to render void or voidable any agreement or trust.'S. 4.
