Home Dictionary Name: cokeCoke
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.' When the Parliament used the word 'coke' in s. 14(i) of the Central Act it has no intention to give it a meaning other than the ordinary dictionary meaning which would cover petroleum coke. At any rate, the language employed is so wide viz., 'Coke in all its forms' that petroleum coke which is a form of coke cannot possibly be excluded merely by reference to the word 'Coal', India Carbon Limited v. Superintendent of Taxes, (1972) 1 SCR 316: (1971) 3 SCC 612: AIR 1972 SC 154. [Central Sales Tax Act (74 of 1956), s. 14(i)]...

Coke was bitterly hostile to the injunction of equity. The controversy between Coke and Lord Ellesmere, the Chancellor, was acute. James I. referred the whole matter to Bacon, the Attorney-General, and others learned in the law. Acting upon the recommendations of this committee of counsel, James I. decided the matter in favour of Chancery. It should be menti...

Coal mine
Coal mine, The expression 'no person, other than the Central Government or a government company or a corporation owned, managed or control in India, in any form' is semantically sweeping and is wide in meaning so as to spare no class of coal, including even coking coal, because coking coal is a species of coal, coal itself being the genus. A definition of 'coal mine' in the Coal Mines (Nationalisation) Act, 1973. S. 2(b) of the Act defines coal mine to mean 'a mine in which there exists one or more seams of coal'. It is apparent that even a coking coal mine is a coal mine because the definition is broad, Mahindra Nath Shukla v. State of Bihar, (1980) 3 SCR 595: (1980) 3 SCC 353: AIR 1980 SC 1308 (1311). [Coal Mines (Nationalisa-tion Act (26 of 1973) s. 2 (b)]The (English) Coal Mines Act 1911, (1 & 2 Geo. 5, c. 50), repealing and reenacting, with alterations, a great part of the existing law, and itself amended by the (English) Coal Mines Act, 1914 (4 & 5Geo. 5, c. 22), contains a set o...
Jews
Jews. Several Statutes were passed in the reign of Queen Victoria respecting the Jews. See 8 & 9 Vict. c. 52, giving them relief as to municipal offices; 10 & 11 Vict. c. 58, and 19 & 20 Vict. c. 119, ss. 21, 22 as to their marriages; 21 & 22 Vict. c. 48, s. 5, amended by 23 & 24 Vict. c. 63, as to their making declara-tions as a qualification for office; and the Jews Relief Act, 1858 (21 & 22 Vict. c. 49), empowering either house of Parliament by resolution to allow them to omit the words 'upon the true faith of a Christian' from the form of oath then required to be taken by members of Parliament. The Promissory Oaths Act, 1868 (31 & 32 Vict. c. 72), has since prescribed a form of oath containing no reference to the faith of a Christian, and the Promissory Oaths Act, 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 48), repeals 21 & 22 Vict. c. 48, and the Jews Relief Act, 1858, except s. 4, which provides that the official patronage of a professing Jew shall devolve on the Archbishop of Canterbury. By s. 3 of...
Material resources of the community
Material resources of the community, The expression 'material resources of the community' does not mean that the ownership of the resource must already vest in the State. The distribution envisaged by Article 39 (b) necessarily takes within its stride the transformation of wealth from private ownership into public ownership by nationalisation. Hence the expression 'material resources of the community' is not confined to natural resources; it is not confined to resources owned by the public; it means and includes all resources, natural and man-made, public and private-owned, Sanjeev Coke Manufacturing Company v. M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited, AIR 1983 SC 239 (251): (1983) 1 SCC 147: (1983) 1 SCR 1000. [Constitution of India, Art. 39 (b)]The expression 'material resources of the community' would cover the lands held by private owners also, State of Maharashtra v. Basanti Bai Mohanlal Khetan, AIR 1986 SC 1466: (1986) 2 SCC 516: (1986) 1 SCR 707....
