Dwelling place
Dwelling place, primarily the expression means 'residence', 'abode' or 'home' where an individual is supposed usually to live and sleep and since the expression has been used in a Taxing Statute in the context of a provision which lays down a technical test of territorial connection amounting to residence, the concept of an abode or home would be implicit in it. In other words, it must be a house or a portion thereof which could be regarded as an abode or home of the assessee in the taxable territories, C.I.T., Madras v. Ratnaswamy, AIR 1980 SC 525 (529): 1980 2 SCC 548....

Residence
Residence, is a concept that may also be transitory. Even when qualified by the word 'ordinarily' the word 'resident' would not result in construction having the effect of a particular place for dwelling always or on permanent uninterrupted basis. Thus understood, even the requirement of a person being 'ordinarily resident' at a particular place is incapable of ensuring nexus between him and the place in question, Kuldip Nayar v. Union of India, AIR 2006 SC 3127.Residence, is flexible and must be construed accord-ing to the object and intent of the particular legislation where it may be found. It must be something more than occupation during occasional usual visits within the local limits of the court, more specially where there is residence outside those limits marked with a considerable measure of continuance, Paster J.S. Singh v. Jyotsana Singh, AIR 1982 MP 122 [See Divorce Act, 1869, s. 3(3)]Residence, is generally understood as referring to a person in connection with the place wh...
Temple
Temple, is as 'an edifice or place regarded primarily as the dwelling place or 'house' of a deity; hence an edifice devoted to divine worship. Historically, the word is applied to sacred buildings of Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc., but now to those of Hindu-ism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, etc.' The essence of the matter is the existence of a place of public religious worship. In the case of a temple, it becomes a place of public religious worship when the idol is installed and consecrated and the pranaprathishta or vivification ceremony is performed. 'Until then, it is elementary knowledge that the image does not become an object of worship. The deity does not begin to reside in the Idol (the visible image) until the consecration or the appropriate ceremony is completed, T.V.D. Naidu v. Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (Administration) Department, Madras, AIR 1989 Mad 60. (See also New English Dictionary, Vol. IX, Part II)Means a place, by whatev...

Place of residence
Place of residence, the expression 'place of resi-dence' connotes a place where a person has his dwelling house, which need not necessarily be permanent or exclusive. A person may have more places of residence than one at a given time. A place occupied by a person with the intention of setting up a fixed, though not permanent, abode, would be deemed to be a place of residence. Sojourn for a purely temporary purpose will not constitute residence, and the place of sojourn will not be deemed a place of residence within the meaning of the Act: but where a person possesses establishment at more places than oneand spends time more or less considerable in all those places, as exigencies of his occupation, vocation or fancy demand, he would be deemed to have a place of residence at each of those places. The words of the definition in s. 2(10) read with s. 2(6) are sufficiently wide to include the case of a person who had a place of residence in India as well as a place of residence in an area ...
