Water and watercourse
Water and watercourse. In the language of the law the term 'land' includes water, 2 Bl. Com. 18. An action cannot be brought to recover possession of a pool or other piece of water by the name of water only, but it must be brought for the land that lies at the bottom, e.g. 'twenty acres of land covered with water.'-Brownl. 142. See POOL. By granting a certain water, though the right of fishing passes, yet the soil does not. Water being a movable, wandering thing, there can be only a temporary, transient, usufructuary property therein. Consult Coulson and Forbes on the Law of Waters, Gale on Easements, and Angell on Watercourse. 'Water' does not include the land on which it stands, unless perhaps in the case of salt pits or springs, where the interest of each owner is measured by builleries, ballaries or buckets of brine, Burt. Comp. pl. (550), and see Co. Litt. 4 b.The (English) Waterworks Clauses Act, 1847, and the Waterworks Clauses Act, 1863 (see Chitty's Statutes, tit. 'Water,' and...

Grounds
Grounds, 'Grounds' within the contemplation of s. 8(1) of the Maintenance of Internal Security Act, 1971 means 'materials' on which the order of detention is primarily based. Apart from con-clusions of facts, 'grounds' have a factual constituent, also. They must contain the pith and substance of primary facts but not subsidiary facts or evidential details. This requirement as to the communication of all essential constituents of the grounds, Vakil Singh v. State of J&K, AIR 1974 SC 2337: (1975) 3 SCC 545.Grounds mean all the basic facts and materials which have been taken into account by the detaining authority in making the order of detention and on which therefore, the order of detention is based, Khudiram Das v. State of West Bengal, AIR 1975 SC 550: (1975) 2 SCC 81: (1975) 2 SCR 832.'Grounds' in Article 22(5) do not mean mere factual inferences but mean factual inferences plus factual material which led to such factual inferences. The 'grounds' must be self-sufficient and self-expl...

Vagueness of ground, irrelevant ground
Vagueness of ground, irrelevant ground, a distinction between grounds which are merely vague and those which are extraneous or irrelevant often tends to be over-looked. Particulars of vague grounds can be, as seen already, supplied even later so as to show that the grounds were justified. If not supplied, the detenu can also ask for them. But, no amount of particulars of it would cure the defect of a ground given which is extraneous to the purposes for which preventive detention may be ordered. Any such ground would vitiate the detention order at its inception. At any rate, this Court could not separate the extraneous or irrelevant ground from the proper and the relevant ones. It could only order the release of detenu because something extraneous to the legally authorised objects of detention had also affected the decision to detain, Prabhu Dayal Deorah v....
