Both for voluntary and permissive waste an action lies against a tenant, whether for life or years, by virtue of the statute of Gloucester, 6 Edw. 1, c. 5.

Standard gold bar
Standard gold bar, the definition of the term 'standard gold bar' under s. 2(u) does not contemplate the standard gold bar being cut into pieces.

Union of India, AIR 1970 SC 1453 (1466): (1969) 2 SCC 166. [Gold Control Act, 1968, s. 3(u)]...
