Contravention
Contravention, an act done in violation of a legal condition or obligation; particularly any act by an heir of entail in opposition to the provisions of the deed of entail; also, the action founded on the breach of law-burrows, Bell's Dict.--Art. 13(2) provides that the law shall be void to the extent of the contravention. Contravention in the context takes place only once when the law is made, for the contravention is of the prohibition to make any law which takes away or abridges the fundamental rights. There is no question of the contravention of Art. 13(2) being a continuing matter, Mahendra Lal Jaini v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1963 SC 1019 (1030): 1963 Supp (1) SCR 912. [Constitution of India, Art. 13(2)]Contravention, in relation to any requirement of the Act, includes a failure to comply with the requirement, Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act, 1963, s. 55(1) (UK), Halsbury's Laws of England, Vol. 4(1), para 56, p. 37....

Possibility on a possibility
Possibility on a possibility. Lord Coke lays it down as a rule that the event on which a remainder is to depend must be a common possibility, and not a double possibility, or a possibility on a possibility, which the law will not allow. Thus he tells us that the chance that a man and a woman, both married to different persons, shall themselves marry one another is but a common possibility. But the chance that a married man shall have a son named Geoffrey is stated to be a double or remote possibility; see Williams on Real Property; 2 Rep. 51 a; 10 Rep. 50 b; Co. Litt. 184 a. The idea that there cannot be a possibility and a possibility seems to have been a conceit invented by Popham, C.J., but it was never really intelligible, Whitby v. Mitchell, (1890) 44 Ch D p. 92, per Lindley, LJ, and never applied to trusts of personal estate [Re Bowles, (1902) 2 Ch 650]. It gave rise, however, to the rule, now well settled in regard to limitations and trusts of realty created by instruments comin...

Judicial power
Judicial power, 'judicial power' may be defined as the power to examine questions submitted for determination with a view to the pronouncement of an authoritative decision as to rights and liabilities of one or more parties, Firm of Mohd. Ali and Sons v. V. Madhavarao, AIR 1964 AP 132 (135). (Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, s. 24)The legislatures in India cannot exercise a power which can be described as essentially judicial and not legislative. There has been a lacuna in creating jurisdiction, supplies it, it acts within the legislative field. Where, however, the legislature goes further than this & compels the determination of a case at the hands of a court taking it completely out of reach of the court to make a contrary decision, the matter is one under judicial and not legislative power, Biharilal v. Ramcharan, AIR 1957 MP 165.Means the judicial power which every authority i.e., courts i.e., High Court and subordinate judiciary, established under Chapters V and VI of Part VI and th...
Horse-racing
Horse-racing, a lawful pastime. By 13 Geo. 2, c. 19, no plates or matches at horse-races under 50l. value could be run, under penalty of 200l. to be paid by the owner of the horse or horses, and 100l. by the advertiser of the plate. This was repealed by 3 & 4 Vict. c. 5. Formerly wagers of not more than 10l. on a legal horse-race could be recovered by action, but now all wagers are void by the Gaming Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 109), and 'no better illustration can be given of a wagering contract than a bet on a horse-race', Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co., (1892) 2 QB 490, per Hawkins, J. See also RAE COURSE and GAMING.The horse-racing is a sport which primarily depends on the special ability acquired by training. It is speed and stamina of the horse, acquired by training, which matters. Jockeys are experts in the art of riding. Between two equally fast horses, a better trained jockey can touch the winning post. K.R. Lakshmanan v. State of Tamil Nadu, AIR 1996 SC 1153: (1996) 2 SCC 2...
