Desertion
Desertion, (1) the criminal offence of abandoning the naval or military service without license. See ss. 12 et seq. of the (English) Army Act, 1881, replacing similar s.s of the (English) annual Mutiny Acts, and Reg. v. Cuming, (1887) 19 QBD 13.Also (2) an abandonment of a wife, a matrimonial offence, for which the remedy is under (English) Judicature Act, 1925, s. 185, by which a sentence of judicial separation may be obtained either by the husband or wife on the ground of desertion, without cause, for two years and upwards; and see (English) Matrimonial Causes Act, 1857 (20 & 21 Vict. c. 85), s. 21, as to orders for the protection of the property of wives deserted by their husbands; and the (English) Summary Jurisdiction (Married Women) Act, 1895 (58 & 59 Vict. c. 39), repealing and re-enacting the (English) Married Women (Maintenance in Case of Desertion) Act, 1886, under which a deserted wife may obtain an order from justices of the peace that the husband pay her such weekly sum, n...
Regular or regularisation
Regular or regularisation, the words 'regular' or 'regularisation', do not connote permanence. They are terms calculated to condone any procedural irregularities and are meant to cure only such defects as are attributable to the methodology followed in making the appointments. They cannot be construed so as to convey an idea of the nature of tenure of the appointments, B.N. Nagarajan v. State of Karnataka, AIR 1979 SC 1676 (1681): (1979) 4 SCC 507: (1979) 3 SCR 937. (Constitution of India, Arts. 309, 162)...
Regularly
Regularly, the word 'regularly' in clause (b) of s. 12(3) has a significance of its own. It enjoins a payment or tender characterised by reasonable punctuality, that is to say, one made at regular times or intervals. The regularity contemplated may not be a punctuality, of clock-like precision and exactitude, but it must reasonably conform with substantial proximity to the sequence of times or intervals at which the rent falls due, Mranalini B. Shah v. Bapalal Mohanlal Shah, AIR 1980 SC 954 (956): (1980) 4 SCC 251. [Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Contral Act, 1947, s. 12(3)(b)](ii) The word 'regularly' to mean payment of rent in a uniform and consistent manner without any breach or default. The legislature never contemplated that a single default could be condoned. This inference is fortified by the words 'without sufficient cause'. A correct interpretation of the plain language and the words and phrases used in cl. (ii) of s. 9(1) of the Act seems that the word 'regular' ...
Revive
Revive, to make oneself liable for a debt barred by the Statute of Limitations by acknowledging it; or for a matrimonial offence once condoned by committing another. The legal effect of an acknowledgment of a statute-bared debt is that of a promise to pay the old debt, and for this purpose the old debt is a consideration in law, Philips v. Philips, (1844) 3 Ha 281 (299). As to what will amount to an acknowledgment, see Tanner v. Smart, (1827) 6 B&C 603; Re River Steamer Co., (1871) LR 6 Ch 822; and LIMITATION OF ACTIONS, and, as to testamentary instruments, REPUBLICATION....
Within such period
Within such period, means within the period which ends with the last day of limitation prescribed. In other wards, in all cases falling under s. 5 what the party has to show is why he did not file an appeal on the last day of limitation prescribed. That may inevitably mean that the party will have to show sufficient cause not only for not filing the appeal on the last day but to explain the delay made thereafter day by day. In other words, in showing sufficient cause for condoning the delay the party may be called upon to explain for the whole of the delay covered by the period between the last day prescribed for filing the appeal and the day on which the appeal is filed. To hold that the expression 'within such period' means during such period would, be repugnant in the context, Ram Lal v. Rewa Coalifieds Ltd., AIR 1962 SC 361 (364): (1962) 2 SCR 762. (Limitation Act, 1963, s. 5)...
