League of Nations (Societe des Nations)
League of Nations (Societe des Nations), is a conventional assembly which was set up early in 1920 at the conclusion of the War of 1914-1919 (First World War), with a membership of 58 States. The Covenant, consisting of 26 Articles at the beginning of each of the Peace Treaties, is its charter, pledging these States to promote international co-operation, and achieve peace and security by accepting obligations not to go to war, and to respect treaties. Among the important principles which underlie the League are the 'collective system,' e.g., collective action to prevent aggression, as well as to assist members to carry on their common interests more effectively; the duty of reduction of armaments; equality for States, e.g., recognition of greater responsibility of large Powers, with legal equality for all, large or small; undertaking to use peaceful settlement for disputes, with recognition that any war is the responsibility of all peoples; provision of means for adapting existing righ...

G. Sreenivasa Rao, (1989) 2 SCC 290.Article 39(d) of the Constitution proclaims 'equal pay for equal work for both men and women' as a Directive Principle of State Policy. Equal pay for equal work for both men and women means equal pay for equal work for everyone and as between the sexes. The Preamble to the Constitution declares the solemn resolution of the people of India to constitute India into a Sovereign Socialist Democratic Republic. Again the word 'Socialist' must mean some thing. Even if it does not mean to each according to his need it must at least mean 'equal pay for equal work'.'The principle of equal pay for equal work is expressly recognized by all socialist systems of law, e.g., s. 59 of the Hungarian Labour Code, Pa...

Forcible entry
Forcible entry is the entering upon any land or tenement with a strong hand, or in a violent manner, in order to take possession. There may be a forcible entry although no actual force is used, as, for example, when threats are made or an unusual number of persons collected. Forcible entry was permissible at Common Law in certain cases, e.g., when the rightful owner had been wrongfully deprived of possession, but it was absolutely pro-hibited by the Statutes of Forcible Entry (5 Rich. 2, c. 7; 15 Rich. 2, c. 2; 8 Hen. 6, c. 9), which make forcible entries punishable with imprisonment. The first of these statues provides that 'none shall make entry into any lands or tenements, but in case where entry is given bylaw, and in such case not with strong hand nor with multitude of people, but only in a peaceable and easy manner.' A forcible entry by a person entitled to possession, though indictable, does not give rise to civil responsibility in damages. See Hemmings v. Stoke Poges Golf Club,...
