Election
Election, the word 'election' means any and every act taken by the competent authority after the publication of the election notification, Manda Jaganath v. K.S.

Decree
Decree [fr. decretum, Lat.], an edict, a law.The term was also used for the judgment of a Court of Equity. But by the (English) Judicature Acts, 1873 and 1875, the expression judgment, which was formerly used only in Courts of Common Law, is adopted in reference to the decisions of all Divisions of the Supreme Court, and [(English) Judicature Act, 1925, s. 225, replacing (English) Act of 1873, s. 100] includes decree.

Entices takes
Entices takes, the expression used in s. 361, I.P.C. is 'whoever takes or entices any minor'. The word 'takes' does not necessarily connote taking by force and it is not confined only to use of force, actual or constructive. This word merely means, 'to cause to go', 'to escort' or 'to get into possession'. No doubt it does mean physical taking, but not necessarily by use of force or fraud. The word 'entice' seems to involve the idea of inducement or allurement by giving rise to hope or desire in the other. This can take many forms, difficult to visualise and describe exhaustively; some of them may be quite subtle, depending for their success on the mental state of the person at the time when the inducement is intended to operate. This may work immediately or it may create continuous and gradual but imperceptible im-pression culminating after some time, in achieving its ultimate purpose of successful inducement, Thakorlal D. Verdgama v. State of Gujarat, AIR 1973 SC 2313 (2320); See als...
