Specific provision to the contrary
Specific provision to the contrary, in the absence of any specific provisions to the contrary, the purpose of the Haryana legislature as well as of the Parliament in enacting the Haryana Children Act and the central Children Act (Act 60 of 1960) respectively was to give separate treatment to delinquent children in trial, conviction and punishment for offences including offences punishable with death or imprisonment for life. S. 27 is not 'a specific provision to the contrary', within the meaning of s. 5 of the Act; the intention of the Parliament was not to exclude the trial of delinquent children for offences punishable with death or imprisonment for life, inasmuch as s. 27 does not contain any expression to the effect 'notwithstanding anything contained in any Children Act passed by any State legislature'. Parliament certainly was not unaware of the existence of the Haryana Children Act coming into force a month earlier or the central Children Act coming into force nearly fourteen ye...

Coke, the meaning of the word 'coke' given in Webster's New International Dictionary, Vol. I which is as follows: 'The infusible, cellular, coherent residue obtained when coal is subjected to destructive distillation. It consists mainly of carbon, is hard, porous, and grey, and has a submetallic lustre. Any similar substance left as a residue when petroleum, shale oil, etc. are distilled to dryness.'
