Bar of the House
Bar of the House, in the Lok Sabha, the Bar consists of a wooden Bar placed between two pillars near the door which opens into the Central aisle facing the Speaker and which connects the benches on either side of the aisle. Before an offender is brought to the Bar of the House, the Speaker makes an announcement about it in the House and emphasizes the solemnity of the occasion and asks the members to keep total silence in order to maintain the dignity and authority of Parliament and to emphasise the significance of the reprimand. Thereafter he orders the watch and ward officer to bring the offender in. He is brought in and he stands at the Bar. The Speaker then reads out to reprimand after which he makes the offender to withdraw Lok Sabha Debates, Vol. Lvii, 1961, p. 5501.In the House of Lords, the bar is a wooden barrier which excludes persons who are not peers.

Standard gold bar
Standard gold bar, the definition of the term 'standard gold bar' under s. 2(u) does not contemplate the standard gold bar being cut into pieces. A standard gold bar being of a prescribed weight and purity cannot in many cases be handed over to a certified goldsmith without cutting the same. If a dealer, therefore, has to give a cut piece of standard gold bar to a certain goldsmith the remaining portion of the standard gold bar will be treated as primary gold in his hands, Hukumchand Ratanchand Banthia v. Union of India, AIR 1970 SC 1453 (1466): (1969) 2 SCC 166. [Gold Control Act, 1968, s. 3(u)]...
Bar, plea in
Bar, plea in, a pleading showing some ground for barring or defeating an action at Common Law. A plea in bar was therefore distinguished from all pleas of the dilatory class, as impugning the right of action altogether, instead of merely tending to divert the proceedings to another jurisdiction, or suspend them, or abate the particular writ or declaration. It was, in short, a substantial and conclusive answer to the action. It followed from this property, that, in general, it must either deny all, or some essential part of, the averments of fact in the declaration, or, admitting them to be true, allege new facts which obviated or repelled their legal effect. In the first case the defendant was said, in the language of pleading, to traverse the matter of the declaration; in the latter, to confess and avoid it. Pleas in bar were consequently divided into (1) pleas by way of traverse, and (2) pleas by confession and avoidance.In Equity, a plea in bar was a defence resorted to when there w...
