But not thereafter, As far as the language of s. 34 of the 1996 Act is concerned, the crucial words are 'but not thereafter' used in the proviso to sub-s. (3). This phrase would amount to an express exclusion within the meaning of s. 29(2) of the Limitation Act, and would therefore bar the application of s. 5 of that Act. To hold that the court could entertain an application to set aside the award beyond the extended period under the proviso, would render the phrase 'but not thereafter' wholly otiose, Union of India v. Popular Construction, (2001) 8 SCC 470. [Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, s. 34(3)]...

Dowry

Dowry [dos mulieris, Lat.], otherwise called maritagium, or marriage goods, that which the wife brings the husband in marriage. This word should not be confounded with dower, Co. Litt. 31.Means any property or valuable security given or agreed to be given either directly or indirectly--by one party to a marriage to the other party to the marriage; orby the parents of either party to a marriage or by any other person, to either party to the marriage or to any other person, at or before or any time after the marriage in connection with the marriage of the said parties, but does not include dower or mahr in the case of persons to whom the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) applies. [Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (28 of 1961), s. 2]The word 'dowry' in, s. 304B has to be understood as it is defined in, s. 2 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. There are three occasions related to dowry. One is before the marriage, second is at the time of marriage and the third is 'at any time' after the marriage. ...

From, 'To'

From, 'To', when a period is delimited by statute or rule, which has both a beginning and an end and the word 'from' is used indicating the beginning, the opening days is to be excluded and if the last day is to be excluded the word 'to' is to be used. In order to exclude the first day of the period, the crucial thing to be noted is whether the period of limitation is delimited by a series of days or by any fixed period. This is intended to obviate the difficulties or inconvenience they may be caused to some parties. For instance, if a policy of insurance has to be good for one day from the 1st January, it might be valid only for a few hours after its execution and the party or the beneficiary in the insurance policy would not get reasonable time to lay claim, unless the 1st January is excluded from the period of computation, Tarun Prasad Chatterjee v. Dinanath Sharma, (2000) 8 SCC 649: AIR 2001 SC 36 (39). [General Clauses Act, 1897, s. 9]...

Reading of a Bill

Reading of a Bill, in House of Commons, the three stages through which a Bill passes, are: First Reading, Second Reading and Third Reading. During the first reading only short title is read by the clerk. During second reading there is a wide debate in general application and desirability of measure. Second reading normally takes place on the floor of the House but certain public Bills are referred to Second Reading Committee for consideration in principle. After it the Bill is referred to Standing Committee for detailed examination. Third reading takes place when a Bill is reported from the Committee of the whole House without amendment or when the consideration of a Bill, as amended, is concluded. After the third reading the Bill is reviewed in its final form with amendments earlier made. No debate may takes place. Parliamentary Practice, Erskine May, 22nd Edn., 1997, p. 494.In India three readings are done for a Bill for facilitating adequate scrutiny and debate. First reading is the...

Used substantially

Used substantially, 'used substantially' for the pur-pose of the mine or a number of mines under the same management, in relation to workshops. The use of the word 'and' makes both the conditions conjunctive. Sub-clause (xi) uses the words 'if solely used' for the location of the management, sale of liaison offices, or for the residence of officers and staff, of the mine, in relation to lands and buildings. The difference in language between the two expressions 'used substantially' and 'solely used' is obvious. It is therefore, possible to contend that lands and buildings appurtenant to a coal mine, if not exclusively used for purposes of the colliery business, would not come within the definition of mine in s. 2(h), i.e., it would depend upon the nature of user, and that the crucial date is the date of vesting, New Satgram Engineering Works v. Union of India, AIR 1981 SC 124: (1980) 4 SCC 570: (1981) 1 SCR 406....
