Animal
Animal, 'Animal' means any living creature other than a human being. [Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (59 of 1960), s. 2(a)]Animal includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians fish, other chordates and invertebrates and also includes their young and eggs. [Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 (53 of 1972), s. 2(a)]In common parlance animal is understood as a quadruped creature but fish is also an animal but of a different kind. Prawn is included in the definition of fish as given in the Maritime Zones of India (Regulation of Fishing by Foreign Vessels) Act and has all the essential attributes of an animal viz. life, sensation and voluntary motion. It is therefore not possible to accept the contention that prawn is not a livestock, I.T.C. v. Person in charge, Agricultural Market Committee, (2004) 2 SCC 794 (799): AIR 2004 SC 1796. [Maritime Zones of India (Regulations of Fishing by Foreign Vessels) Act, 1981, ss. 2(b), 3 & 12]The word 'animal' denotes any living creature, other ...
Occupancy right
Occupancy right, occupancy rights are creatures of statutes, or to be more precise the creatures of custom adopted by statute, which by defining the nature of the evidence, which a person claiming such rights is required to adduce, have extended such rights to a larger class of ryots. They are creatures of custom or of statute only in the sense that acquisition of such rights by ryots does not depend upon the bounty or gift of the landlord, but they can be acquired against his will. This does not imply that the landlord cannot by grant confer on his tenant, rights exactly similar to rights of occupancy. He can in his grant define rights which he is granting to his tenant, by mentioning in detail in the different clauses of the Patta the exact incidents of the rights he is granting. If he does so, the ryot or tenant would get these rights, Jogendra Narayan Dhar v. Askarulla, AIR 1937 Cal 27: 169 IC 700....

Environment
Environment, includes water, air and land and the inter-relationship which exists among and between water, air and land, and human beings, other living creatures, plants, micro-organism and property. [National Environment Tribunal Act, 1995, s. 2 (d)]The word 'environment' is of broad spectrum which brings within its ambit 'hygienic atmosphere and ecological balance'. It is, therefore, not only the duty of the State but also the duty of every citizen to maintain hygienic environment, Virender Gaur v. State of Haryana, (1995) 2 SCC 577 (580). (Constitu-tion of India, Art. 21)Its normal meaning relates to the surroundings, but obviously that is a concept which is relatable to whatever object it is which is surrounded. It is a polycentric and multifaceted problem affecting the human existence, T.N. Gadavarman Thirmaplad v. Union of India, (2002) 10 SCC 606 (618): AIR 2003 SC 724. [Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, s. 2(a)]'Environment' includes water, air and land and the inter-relation...
