Civil Law
Civil Law, that rule of action which every particular nation, commonwealth, or city has established peculiarly for itself, more properly distinguished by the name of municipal law.The term 'civil law' is now chiefly applied to that which the Romans complied from the laws of nature and nations.The 'Roman Law'and the 'Civil Law' are convertible phrases, meaning the same system of jurisprudence; it is now frequently denominated 'the Roman Civil Law.'The collections of Roman Civil Law, before its reformation in the sixth century of the Christian era by the eastern Emperor Justinian, were the following:--(1) Leges Regi'. These laws were for the most part promulgated by Romulus, Numa Pompilius and Servius Tullius. To Romulus are ascribed the formation of a constitutional government, and the imposition of a fine, instead of death, for crimes; Numa Pompilius composed the laws relating to religion and divine worship, and abated the rigour of subsisting laws; and Servius Tullius, the sixth king,...
Precedent
Precedent, a decision is a precedent of its own features. Further, the enunciation of the reason or principle on which a question before a court has been decided is alone binding as a precedent, Uttaranchal Road Transport Corporation v. Mansaram Nainwal, (2000) 6 SCC 366.A precedent acquirers added authority from lapse of time, the longer a precedent has remained unquestioned, the more hard it becomes to reverse it. The courts has to adopt a construction of law, which would inevitably result in upsetting titles long founded on the contrary view, Pratap Bahadur Sahi v. Lakshmidhar Singh, AIR 1946 PC 189: 73 IA 231; Vijaya Charari v. Khubchand, AIR 1964 SC 1099.Precedent, are not an immutable dogma. Courts may evolve principles which are applicable to the facts involved in each case, Rumana Begum v. Government of Andhra Pradesh, 1992 Cr LJ 3512.Means every judgment must be based upon facts, declared by the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 to be relevant and duly proved. But when a Judge, in dec...
Deed
Deed [fr. d'd, Sax.; ded gaded, Goth.;daed, Dut.], a formal document on paper or parchment duly signed, sealed, and delivered. It is either an indenture (factum inter partes) needing an actual indentation [(English) Real Property Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 106), s. 5], reproduced by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 56 (2), made between two or more persons in different interests, or a deed-poll (charta de una parte) made by a single person or by two or more persons having similar interests. By the (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 57, a deed may be described according to the nature of the transaction, e.g., 'this lease,' 'this mortgage,' etc., or as a 'deed' and not habitually by the word 'indenture.'The requisites of a deed are these:-(1) Sufficient parties and a proper subject of assurance.(2) It must be written, engrossed, printed, or lithographed, or partly written or engrossed, and partly printed or lithographed in any character or in any language, on paper, vellum, or parchm...
Leave
Leave, having regard to the language of Rule 123 doubtless the word 'leave' has been used as a verb and not as a noun. Taking the word in its ordinary parlance if used as a verb it clearly connotes that the candidate should have given up the job or quitted the service or severed all connections with the post that he was holding. If the word 'leave' would have been used as a noun in the sense of obtaining leave or furlough then the concept of permission would undoubtedly have to be considered. In Black's Law Dictionary, Revised Fourth Edition at p. 1036 the author referring the case of Landreth v. Casey, 340 III 519; 173 NE 84 (85) observes as follows: 'Wilful departure with intent to remain away, and not temporary absence with intention of returning.' To the same effect is the definition of the word 'leave' when used as a verb in Webster's New International Dictionary at p. 1287 where it has been defined as meaning 'desert, abandon, forsake, to give up the practice, to quit service and...
Insurance
Insurance, see, Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), s. 80C, Expl. 1.Insurance, the act of providing against a possible loss, by entering into a contract with one who is willing to give assurance, that is, to bind himself to make good such loss should it occur. In this contract, the chances of benefit are equal to the insured and the insurer. The first actually pays a certain sum, and the latter undertakes to pay a larger, if an accident should happen. The one renders his property secure; the other receives money with the probability that it is clear gain. The instrument by which the contract is made is called a policy; the stipulated consideration, a premium. As to what is known as a coupon policy, i.e., a coupon cut out of a diary, etc., see General Accident, etc., Assce. Corpn. v. Robertson, 1909 AC 404.Insurable Interest must be possessed by the person taking out a policy; he must be so circumstanced as to have benefit from the existence of the person or thing insured, and some preju...
