Deemed
Deemed, the meaning to be attached to the word 'deemed' must depend upon the context in which it is used. In Lalji Haridas's case (1964(6) SCR 700) the Supreme Court went elaborately into the question as to the extent of this deeming provision which would have been wholly redudant if the word 'deemed' in s. 171A(4) was used in any sense other than to give an artificial construction, Hira H. Advani v. State of Maharashtra, (1969) 2 SCC 662: AIR 1971 SC 44: (1970) 1 SCR 821.The use of the word 'deemed' in r. 3(3)(b) of the Regulation of Seniority Rules indicates that the Govt. has the power to make a retrospective declaration because it is only after promotion that there is any occasion to consider whether the period of officiation prior to promotion will be counted for purposes of seniority, R.P.

Landlord and tenant
Landlord and tenant. A tenancy arises when the owner of an estate inland, called the lessor or landlord, agrees expressly or by implication to allow another person, called the lessee or tenant, to enjoy the exclusive possession and use of the land for a period less than the landlord's estate in it, generally upon payment of rent. The landlord's estate is called the reversion, and at common law, a power of distress for rent is incident to the reversion.Leases or tenancies may be (1) for any agreed period such as for years or less, e.g., for a year, half-year, quarter or week; (2) from year to year; (3) at will; (4) on sufferance; or (5) they may arise upon estoppel; or (6) exist by force of a statute (see LEASE; INCREASE OF RENT). In a narrower sense the words 'tenancy' and 'landlord and tenant' are generally restricted to lease of a house or land for occupational purposes. If nothing appears to the contrary, either expressly or by implication, in the lease or agreement, the landlord is...
Tail after possibility of issue extinct, Tenant in
Tail after possibility of issue extinct, Tenant in. This estate arises out of a special entail as to the parentage of the issue, when the express condition has become impossible by reason of death. Thus, if an estate be granted to husband and wife, and their issue, male or female, if either of them die without issue, the survivor is tenant-in-tail after possibility of issue extinct; and even if there have been issue, yet if the issue die without issue, then the surviving parent is also such a tenant; and also if an estate be entailed upon a man and his issue from a particular wife, if she die without issue, the interest of the husband becomes reduced to a tenancy-in-tail after possibility of issue extinct. Only a donee in tail-special can become such a tenant, for if the entail be general, such a tenancy can never arise; for whilst he lives he may have issue, the law not admitting the impossibility of having children at any age. As an estate-tail is originally carved out of a fee-simpl...
Statutory tenant
Statutory tenant, a person remaining in occupation of premises let to him after the determination of or expiry of the period of the tenancy is commonly, though in law not accurately, called a statutory tenant. Statutory tenant being a person who enjoys the status of irremovability, would enjoy the protection of the statute until he is evicted from the premises under the enabling provisions of the statute. A statutory tenancy would, therefore, come to an end on either the surrender of premises by such a tenant or if a decree of eviction, Biswabani Pvt. Ltd. v. Santosh Kumar Dutta, AIR 1980 SC 226: (1980) 1 SCR 650: (1980) 1 SCC 185.Statutory tenant, a tenant continuing in possession of a rented land or building after its termination of tenancy is 'statutory tenant', AIR 1989 P&H 9(10).
