Condition
Condition. An event upon which a right under contract or to property may arise, become altered, or cease. Condition has been used in connection with personal obligations to distinguish one kind of obligation from another in the same transaction and to limit property. In their primary meaning, conditions precedent are events, but for the happening of which, rights will not arise.A condition subsequent puts an end to a state of things which, but for its happening, would have continued. Dependent or collateral conditions depend upon their mutual fulfilment as in a contract for sale of land where, unless otherwise agreed, the payment of the purchase money is conditional upon the conveyance and vice versa.Conditions may be imposed by the parties, either expressly or by necessary implication arising our of the construction of the document or agreement, or they may be implied bylaw according to the nature of the transaction.A peculiarity of conditions precedent is that an illegal or impossibl...
Condition of service
Condition of service, includes transfer of the employees, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief v. Subhash Chandra Yadav, (1988) 2 SCC 351: AIR 1988 SC 876. [Cantonment Board Service Rules (1937) R. 5C]The expression 'conditions of service' is an expression of wide import. As pointed by the Supreme Court in Pradyat Kumar Bose v. Hon'ble the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court, (1955) 2 SCR 1331, the dismissal of an official is a matter which falls within 'conditions of service' of public servants. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in North West Frontier Province v. Suraj Narain Anand, (1948) LR 75 IA 343, took the view that a right of dismissal is a condition of service within the meaning of the words under s. 243 of the Government of India Act, 1935. Lord Thankerton speaking for the Board observed therein: 'apart from consideration whether the context indicates a special significance to the expression 'conditions of service' their Lordships are unable in the absence of any su...
Conditions of sale
Conditions of sale. The terms set forth in writing upon which an estate of interest is to be sold by auction, tender, or private treaty. Together with the particulars (q.v.) the conditions constitute the offer for sale. Conditions of sale will be construed so as to collect the meaning of the parties without incumbering them with the technical meaning of words; for, as Lord Hardwicke declared, 'there is no magic in words.' But the conditions should be accurate, for they cannot be contradicted by parol at the sale; 'the babble of the auction room,' as Lord Eldon termed it, being inadmissible as evidence, and this although the purchaser by the written agreement bind himself to abide by the conditions and declarations made at the sale. If the conditions require alteration, they should be so altered in writing before the sale. See AUCTION; CONTR-ACT OF SALE. In sales of land, conditions of sale usually refer to the following matters:-Bidding at the auction, payment of deposit, date of compl...
Conditional limitation
Conditional limitation partakes of the nature both of a condition and a remainder. At the Common Law whenever either the whole fee or a particular estate, as an estate for life or in tail, was first limited, no condition or other quality could be annexed to this prior estate, which would have the double effect of defeating the estate, and passing the lands to a stranger, for as a remainder it was void, being an abridgment or defeasance of the estate first granted, and as a condition it was void, as no one but the donor or his heirs could take advantage of a condition broken; and the entry of the donor or his heirs unavoidably defeated the livery upon which the remainder depended. On these principles it was impossible by the old law to limit by deed, if not by will, an estate to a stranger upon any event which might abridge or determine an estate previously limited. But the expediency of such limitations, assisted by the revolution effected by the Statute of Uses, at length established ...

Express condition
Express condition, the words 'express condition' stipulates that condition must be clear, manifest, explicit, unambiguous and there is no question of drawing any inference. If there is no express condition restraining partial alienation of the leasehold property, it would not be open to the transferee of the lessor's right to invoke the forfeiture clause for determining the perpetual lease and such conditions cannot be inferred by implication, Raghurao Rao v. Eric P. Mathias, (2002) 2 SCC 624: AIR 2002 SC 797 (802). [Transfer of Property Act, 1882, s. 111(g)]...
Mortgage by conditional sale and sale with a condition of repurchase
Mortgage by conditional sale and sale with a condition of repurchase, there is a clear legal distinction between the two concepts, a mortgage by condition sale and a sale with a condition of repurchase. The former is a mortgage, the relationship of debtor and creditor subsists and the right to redeem remains with the debtor. The latter is an out and out sale whereby the owner transfers all his rights in the property to the purchaser reserving a personal right of repurchase, Bhoju Mandal v. Debnath Bhagat, AIR 1963 SC 1906 (1907). [Transfer of Property Act, 1882, s. 58 (c)]...
