Fees
Fees, perquisites allowed to officers in the administration of justice, as a recompense for their labour and trouble, ascertained either by Acts of Parlia-ment, by rule or order of Court, or by ancient usage; in modern times frequently commuted for a salary, e.g., by the (English) Justices Clerks Act, 1877.Although, however, the officers of a court may be paid by salary instead of by fees, the obligation of suitors to pay fees usually remains, these fees being paid into the fund out of which the salaries of the officers are defrayed. In the Supreme Court they are collected by means of stamps under s. 26 of the (English) Judicature Act, 1875, and a Treasury Order of July, 1884, a judicial Order of the same year fixing the amount, and see Supreme Court Fees Rules, 1930.The mode of collecting fees in a public office is under the (English) Public Office Fees Act, 1879 (42 & 43 Vict. c. 58) (repealing and replacing the (English) Public Office Fees Act, 1866), by stamps or money, as the Trea...
Hinduism
Hinduism, Hinduism is so tolerant and Hindu religious practices so varied and eclectic that one would find it difficult to say whether one is practicing or professing Hindu religion or not. Especially when one is born a Hindu the fact that he goes to a Buddhist temple or a church or a durgah cannot be said to show that they are no more Hindus unless it is clearly proved that they have changed their religion from Hinduism to some other religion, Ganpat v. Presiding Officer, AIR 1975 SC 420 (424): (1975) 1 SCC 589: (1975) 2 SCR 923.Hinduism cannot be defined in terms of Polytheism or Henotheism or Monotheism. The nature of Hindu religion ultimately is Monism/Advaita. This is in contradistinction to Monotheism which means only one God to the exclusion of all others. Polytheism is a belief of multiplicity of Gods. On the contrary, Monism is a spiritual belief of one Ultimate Supreme who manifests himself as many. This multiplicity is not contrary to on-dualism. This is the reason why Hindu...
Norman-French
Norman-French, the tongue in which several formal proceedings of state are still carried on. The language, having remained the same since the date of the Conquest, at which it was introduced into England, is very different from the French of this day, retaining all the peculiarities which at that time distinguished every province from the rest. A peculiar mode of pronounciation (considered authentic) is believed to have been handed down and preserved by the officials, who have, on particular occasions, to speak the tongue. Norman-French was the language of our legal procedure till the 36 Edw. 3....
Traditional occupation
Traditional occupation, 'traditional occupation' means an occupation followed in a family in which it is handed down by an ancestor to his posterity. If there is a s. of the population following an occupa-tion of that description that s. can be regarded as a class.

State of Jammu and Kashmir, AIR 1973 SC 930 (939): (1973) 1 SCC 420: (1973) 3 SCR 236....
Traditions
Traditions, Traditions are doctrines, customs, practices, beliefs and usages which are handed down from generation to generation. One of the traditions of the Allahabad High Court, which is now more than 130 years old and has seen many generations of lawyers, is that a case would be adjourned on the 'Illness Slip' of a counsel. This and other traditions of the Court bind the lawyers and Judges in a sacred relationship of mutual trust and understanding. The adjournment of a case on the 'Illness Slip' reflects the Court's respect for theounsel and its consciousness that a lawyer or counsel, though an officer of the Court, is nevertheless a human being who can fall ill. It also reflects the faith and trust the lawyer has in the Court that the Court would, on his 'illness slip', adjourn the case, Rais Ahmad v. State of Uttar Pradesh, (1999) 6 SCC 391: AIR 1999 SC 3080 (3083).1. Past customs and usages that influence or govern present acts or practice 2. The delivery of item or an estate, B...
