Residence
Residence, is a concept that may also be transitory. Even when qualified by the word 'ordinarily' the word 'resident' would not result in construction having the effect of a particular place for dwelling always or on permanent uninterrupted basis. Thus understood, even the requirement of a person being 'ordinarily resident' at a particular place is incapable of ensuring nexus between him and the place in question, Kuldip Nayar v. Union of India, AIR 2006 SC 3127.Residence, is flexible and must be construed accord-ing to the object and intent of the particular legislation where it may be found. It must be something more than occupation during occasional usual visits within the local limits of the court, more specially where there is residence outside those limits marked with a considerable measure of continuance, Paster J.S. Singh v. Jyotsana Singh, AIR 1982 MP 122 [See Divorce Act, 1869, s. 3(3)]Residence, is generally understood as referring to a person in connection with the place wh...

Act, 1852, s. 168, the forms of this action exhibited the most remarkable string of fictions then recognized by the Courts of Common Law.

The declaration stated that a lease of the premises in question for a term of years had been made by the party claiming the title (who was the real plaintiff) to John Doe, who entered upon the land by virtue of such demise, and that afterwards Richard Roe, the casual ejector, entered and ousted John Doe during the continuance of his term. Appended to this declara-tion was a notice signed by Richard Roe, addressed to the tenant in possession (...

Industry
Industry, 'Industrial dispute' and 'workman' taken in the extended significance, or exclude it. Though the word 'undertaking' in definition of industry is wedged in between business and trade on the one hand and manufacture on the other, and though therefore it might mean only a business or trade undertaking, still it must be remembered that if that were so, there was no need to use the word separately from business or trade. The wider import is attracted even more clearly when we look at the latter part of the definition which refers to 'calling, service, employment, or industrial occupation of, avocation of workman. 'Undertak-ing' in the first part of the definition and 'industrial occupation or avocation in the second part obviously mean much more than what is ordinarily understood by trade or business.
