Home Dictionary Name: enableFor the purpose of enabling the Court to compare
For the purpose of enabling the Court to compare, The clear implication of the words 'for the purpose of enabling the court to compare' is that there is some proceeding before the court in which or as a consequence of which it might be necessary for the court to compare such writings. The direction is to be given for the purpose of 'enabling the court to compare' and not for the purpose of enabling the investigating or other agency 'to compare', State of U.P. v. Ram Babu Misra, AIR 1980 SC 791: (1980) 2 SCC 343: (1980) 2 SCR 1067....

Drawback
Drawback, 'drawback' means the repayment of duties or taxes previously charged on commodities, from which they are relived on exportation, State of Uttar Pradesh v. Delhi Cloth Mills, (1991) 1 SCC 454 (468).The term used in commerce to signify the remitting or paying back upon the exportation of a commodity of the duties previously paid on it.A drawback is a device resorted to for enabling a commodity affected by taxes to be exported and sold in the foreign market on the same terms as if it had not been taxed at all. It differs from a bounty in this, that the latter enables a commodity to be sold for less than its natural costs, whereas a drawback enables it to be sold exactly at its natural cost. Were it not for the system of drawbacks it would be impossible, unless when a country enjoyed some very peculiar facilities of production, to export any commodity that was more heavily taxed at home than abroad. But the drawback obviates this difficulty, and enables merchants to export commod...
As Parliament may by law determine
As Parliament may by law determine, the leverage given by constitutional mandate by reason of inclusion of the words 'readjusted by such authority and in such manner as Parliament may by law determine' (emphasis supplied) depicts the intent of Parliament as to its true effect. It is an enabling provision for adjustment of sets in accordance with the need of the situation. This authorization as contained in Articles 82 and 170 stands out to be an enabling provision for incorporating sub-article (3B) under Article 332. Be it noted that proportionality though mainly dependent upon the basis of population but it cannot always be done with arithmetical precision and mathematical nicety. The provision incorporated 'as Parliament may by law determine' stands out to be an enabling provision to meet the exigencies of the Constitution, Subrata Acharjee v. Union of India, (2002) 2 SCC 725: AIR 2002 SC 846 (846)....

(2) The hiring of work and labour (locatio operis faciendi). (3) The hiring of care and services to be performed or bestowed on the thing delivered (locatio custodi'). (4) The hiring of the carriage of goods (locatio operis mercium vehendarum) from one place to another. The three last are but sub-divisions of the general head of hire of labour and services.The rights, duties, and obligations of the parties resulting from the contract of bailment for hire may be thus stated:-(I.) Hire of things. The letting to hire implies an obligation to deliver the thing to the hirer; to refrain from every obstruction to the use of it by the hirer during the period of the bailment; to do no act that shall deprive the hirer of the thing; to warrant the title and right of possession to the hirer, in order to enable him to use the thing, or to perfor...
Jews
Jews. Several Statutes were passed in the reign of Queen Victoria respecting the Jews. See 8 & 9 Vict. c. 52, giving them relief as to municipal offices; 10 & 11 Vict. c. 58, and 19 & 20 Vict. c. 119, ss. 21, 22 as to their marriages; 21 & 22 Vict. c. 48, s. 5, amended by 23 & 24 Vict. c. 63, as to their making declara-tions as a qualification for office; and the Jews Relief Act, 1858 (21 & 22 Vict. c. 49), empowering either house of Parliament by resolution to allow them to omit the words 'upon the true faith of a Christian' from the form of oath then required to be taken by members of Parliament. The Promissory Oaths Act, 1868 (31 & 32 Vict. c. 72), has since prescribed a form of oath containing no reference to the faith of a Christian, and the Promissory Oaths Act, 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 48), repeals 21 & 22 Vict. c. 48, and the Jews Relief Act, 1858, except s. 4, which provides that the official patronage of a professing Jew shall devolve on the Archbishop of Canterbury. By s. 3 of...

Very severe laws, commonly called the penal laws, were passed against Roman Catholics, generally under the name of Papists (see that title), after the Reformation, an Act of Elizabeth, for instance, 13 Eliz. c. 2, punishing with the penalties of a pr'munire (see that title) any person bringing into this country any Agnus Dei, cross, picture, etc., from Rome; an Act of James, 3 Jac. 1, c. 5, penalizing the sale or purchase of Popish primers; and an Act of William and Mary (11 & 12 Wm. 3, c. 4), punishing any Papist assuming the education of youth with imprisonment for life.
