Home Dictionary Name: fictitious entryFictitious entry
Fictitious entry, A fictitious entry is one which is not genuine. It is an unreal entry. Entries which are not genuine cannot confirm anybody's rights. It is too obvious to be stressed that an entry which is incorrectly introduced into the records by reason of ill-will or hostility is not only shorn of authenticity but also becomes utterly useless without any lawful basis, Bachan v. Kankar, AIR 1972 SC 2157 (2160): (1972) 2 SCC 555: (1973) 1 SCR 727....

Entry
Entry, the depositing of a document in the proper office or place; actual entry on land is necessary to constitute a seisin in deed, and is necessary in certain cases, as, e.g., to perfect a common-law lease.When a person without any right has taken posses-sion of land, the party entitled may make a formal but peaceable entry, which is quite an extra judicial and summary remedy, on such lands, declaring that thereby he takes possession, which notorious act of ownership is equivalent to a feudal investiture by the lord; or he may enter on any part of it in the same county, declaring it to be in the name of the whole; but if it lie indifferent counties, he must make different entries. This remedy by entry takes place in three only of the five species of ouster-viz., abatement, intrusion, and disseisin; for as in these the original entry of the wrongdoer was unlawful, they may therefore be remedied by the mere entry of him who has right. But upon a discontinuance or deforcement, the owner...
Forcible entry
Forcible entry is the entering upon any land or tenement with a strong hand, or in a violent manner, in order to take possession. There may be a forcible entry although no actual force is used, as, for example, when threats are made or an unusual number of persons collected. Forcible entry was permissible at Common Law in certain cases, e.g., when the rightful owner had been wrongfully deprived of possession, but it was absolutely pro-hibited by the Statutes of Forcible Entry (5 Rich. 2, c. 7; 15 Rich. 2, c. 2; 8 Hen. 6, c. 9), which make forcible entries punishable with imprisonment. The first of these statues provides that 'none shall make entry into any lands or tenements, but in case where entry is given bylaw, and in such case not with strong hand nor with multitude of people, but only in a peaceable and easy manner.' A forcible entry by a person entitled to possession, though indictable, does not give rise to civil responsibility in damages. See Hemmings v. Stoke Poges Golf Club,...
