Rent
Rent [fr. reditus Lat.], a certain profit issuing yearly out of lands and tenements corporeal; it may be regarded as of a two fold nature--first, as some-thing issuing out of the land, as a compensation for the possession during the term; and secondly, as an acknowledgment made by the tenant to the lord of his fealty or tenure. It must always be a profit, yet there is no necessity that it should be, as it usually is, a sum of money; for spurs, capons, horses, corn, and other matters, may be, and occasionally are, rendered by way of rent; it may also consist in services or manual operations, as to plough so many acres of ground and the like; which services, in the eye of the law, are profits. The profit must be certain, or that which may be reduced to a certainty by either party; it must issue yearly, though it may be reserved every second, third, or fourth year; it must issue out of the thing granted, and not be part of the land or the thing itself.Consideration paid, usu. periodically...

Cessation of service
Cessation of service, the 'cessation' of service pursuant to Rule 18 of the Fundamental Rules would, in substance and effect, stand on the same footing as 'his removal' from service within the contemplation of Article 311(2) of the Constitution, particularly when it is against the will of the employee who is willing to serve, or who had never lost the animus to rejoin duty on the expiry of his leave. Another reason for equating 'cessation' of service under this rule with 'removal' within the meaning of Article 311(2), is that it proceeds on a ground personal to the employee involving an imputation which may conceivably be explained by him in the circumstances of a particular case, State of Assam v. Akshaya Kumar Deb, (1975) 4 SCC 339: AIR 1976 SC 37 (39)....
Copy, true copy
Copy, true copy, The expression 'copy' in s. 81(3) of the Act, means a copy which is substantially so and which does not contain any material or substantial variation of a vital natureas could possibly mislead a reasonable person to understand and meet the charges/allegations made against him in the election petition. Indeed a copy which differs in material particulars from the original cannot be treated as a true copy of the original within the meaning of s. 81 (3) of the Act and the vital defect cannot be permitted to be cured after the expiry of the period of limitation, T.M. Jacob v. C. Poulose, (1999) 4 SCC 274: AIR 1999 SC 1359 (1369). [Representation of the People Act, 1951, s. 81(3)]See also Chandrakant Uttam Chodankar v. Dayanand, (2005) 2 SCC 188....

Demurrage
Demurrage, a term used in commercial navigation, signifying on allowance made to the owners of a ship by the freighter, for detaining her in port longer than the period agreed upon for her sailing. It is usually stipulated in charter-parties and bills of lading, that a certain number of days, called running or working or lay days, shall be allowed for receiving or discharging the cargo, and that the freighter may detain the vessel for a further specified time, or as long as he pleases, on payment of so much per diem for such overtime. When the contract of affreightment expressly stipulates that so many days shall be allowed for discharging or receiving the cargo, and so many more for overtime or demurrage days, such limitation is interpreted as an express stipulation on the part of the freighter that the vessel shall in no event be detained longer; if detained the charterer, is liable for damages for breach of contract for which the rate of demurrage is generally the measure. This hold...
Deputation
Deputation, concept of 'deputation' is well under-stood in service law and has a recognised meaning. 'Deputation' has a different connotation in-service law and the dictionary meaning of the word 'deputation' is of no help. In simple words 'deputation' means service outside the cadre or outside the parent department. Deputation is deputing or transferring an employee to a post outside his cadre, that is to say, to another department on a temporary basis. After the expiry period of deputation the employee has to come back to his parent department to occupy the same position unless in the meanwhile he has earned promotion in his parent department as per Recruitment Rules, State of Punjab v. Inder Singh, AIR 1998 SC 7 (15): (1998) 7 SCC 372.'Deputation' can be aptly described as an assignment of an employee (commonly referred to as the deputationist) of one department or cadre or even an organisation (commonly referred to as the parent department or lending authority) to another departmen...
