It, requires study of celestial bodies, of their positions, magnitudes, motions and distances, etc. Astronomy is a pure science. It was studied as a subject in ancient India and India has produced great astronomers, long before anyone in the Western world studied it as a subject. Since Astrology is partly based upon study of movement of sun, earth, planets and other celestial bodies, it is a study of science at least to some extent, P.M. Bhargava v.

Gift.

Such a transaction is apt to be very jealously scrutinized in a Court of Equity, and will be set aside on proof of undue influence (see that title), or of a fiduciary relationship of the donee to the donor, see Huguenin v. Baseley, (1806-8) 14 Ves 273; W. & T. L.C.; Morley v. Loughman, (1893) 1 Ch 736 (757); Lyon v. Home, (1868) LR 6 Eq 655. In the absence of any such objectio...
Step in aid of execution of the decree
Step in aid of execution of the decree, the expression 'step in aid of execution of the decree' not defined in the Limitation Act nor is it capable of a precise or exhaustive definition. It will have to be construed in the light of the facts and circum-stances in each case and the present case is indeed a peculiar one with litigation raised on two fronts; the parties with diametrically opposite avowed objects one (namely, the appellant) to execute and reap the fruit of the foreclosure decree and the other (namely, the respondent, judgment-debtor's son) seeking the assistance of the court to completely nullity the very decree in order to maintain his title to and possession of the suit property, Prem Raj v. Ram Charan, AIR 1974 SC 968: (1974) 3 SCR 494: (1974) 2 SCC 1. (Limitation Act, 1908, Art. 182)...
