Cast iron

Cast iron, 'Cast iron' is defined in the Concise Oxford Dictionary as 'a hard alloy of iron, carbon and silicon cast in a mould'. According to New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary of English Language, the word 'cast iron' means 'an iron-carbon alloy produced in a blast furnace. It contains up to 4% carbon, and is more brittle, but more easily fused, than steel'. According to Van Nostrand's scientific Encyclopedia, 'cast iron' is 'primarily the product of remelting and casting pig iron'. (Interestingly, the expression 'cast-iron' - with a hyphen between 'cast' and 'iron' - has been defined separately as meaning 'made of cast iron', Bengal Iron Corpn. v. CTO, 1994 Supp (1) SCC 310: AIR 1993 SC 2414 (2417). [A.P. General Sales Tax Act, (6 of 1957)]Cast iron casting in its basic or rough form just be held to be 'cast iron'.

A sum agreed to be paid on breach of an agreement or any stipulation of it. See LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, and NOMINE PEN'. The fact that the parties state expressly in their contract that the sum named is 'liquidated damages' will not prevent the Court from deciding that it is a penalty.

Sums due

Sums due, a sum would be due to the purchaser when there is an existing obligation to pay it in praesenti. It would be profitable in this connection to refer to the concept of a 'debt', for a sum due is the same thing as a debt due, Union of India v.

The closure of the place of business and not itself

The closure of the place of business and not itself, the distinction between a lockout and a closure has been explained by the decision of this Court in the Management of Express Newspapers Ltd. v. Workers and Staff employed under it, AIR 1963 SC 569: (1963) 3 SCR 540. It was pointed out in that case that in the case of a closure the employer does not merely close down the place of business but he closes the business itself finally and irrevocably. A lock-out on the other hand indicates the closure of the place of business and not closure of the business itself. It is now well-established that in the case of a closure the employer does not merely close down the place of business but he closes the business finally and irrevocably, Tatanagar Foundry Co. Ltd. v. Their Workmen, AIR 1970 SC 1960: (1969) 3 SCC 464: (1970) 3 SCR 8....
