Scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, it is an accepted fact that members of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes are by the large backward in comparison with other communities in the country.

National insurance
National insurance. The (English) National Insur-ance Act, 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5, c. 55), introduced by Mr. Lloyd George, established a wide system of compulsory state insurance covering both ill-health and unemployment, which is based upon premiums contributed in part by the employer, in part by the employee, and in part by the State. The Act consisted of three parts, the first dealing with National Health Insurance, the second with Unemployment Insurance, and the third contained miscellaneous provisions. This Act remained the basis of National Health Insurance, although the subject of very extensive amendment, until the National Health Insurance Act, 1924, consolidated the law. The law has been consolidated again by the (English) National Health Insurance Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5, and 1 Edw. 8, c. 32), amends and repeals the whole of the Acts passed in 1920, 1922, 1924 and 1928.

Notice
Notice, the making something known to a person of which he was or might be ignorant. Notice is either (1) statutory; (2) actual, which brings the knowledge of a fact directly home to the party; or (3) constructive or implied, which is no more than evidence of facts which raise such a strong presumption of notice that equity will not allow the presumption to be rebutted. [S. 154, I.P.C. and Art. 61(2)(a) const. 56 Indian Evidence Act]Constructive notice may be subdivided into: (a) where the facts of which actual evidence is supplied give rise to a further enquiry which a man exercising ordinary caution would make equity has added constructive notice of the facts, which that inquiry would have elicited; and (b) where there has been a designed abstinence from inquiry for the very purpose of avoiding notice. See CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE.A purchaser with notice may protect himself by purchasing the title of another bona fide purchaser for a valuable consideration without notice; for, otherwise, ...
Nuncupative Will
Nuncupative Will, a verbal testament depending merely upon oral evidence, being declared by the testator in extremis before a sufficient number of witnesses and after wards reduced to writing, 2 Bl. Com. 500.The (English) Statute of Frauds, 29, Car. 2, c. 3, restricted nuncupative wills, except when made by mariners at sea, and soldiers in actual service. Nuncupative wills are abolished by the (English) Wills Act, 1837, s. 9, but with a proviso by s. 11 that any soldier being in actual military service, or any marine or seaman being at sea, may dispose of his personal estate, as he might have done before the making of this Act. A will made by a soldier under s. 11 accordingly requires no attestation, and s. 15, avoiding gifts to attesting witnesses, has no application to such a will [Re Limond, (1915) 2 Ch 240]. The Wills (Soldiers and Sailors) Act, 1918, slightly enlarges the class of persons to whom s. 11 applies (s. 2), and extends the right to make wills, without the formalities re...
