Material facts and material particulars
Material facts and material particulars, all those facts which are essential to clothe the petitioner with a complete cause of action, are 'material facts' which must be pleaded, and failure to plead even a single material fact amounts to disobedience of the mandate of s. 83(1)(a) of Representation of the People Act. 'Particulars', on the other hand, are 'the details of the case set up by the party'. 'Material particulars' within contemplation of cl. (b) of s. 83(1) of RPA, 1951 would therefore mean all the details which are necessary to amplify, refine and embellish the material facts already pleaded in the petition in compliance with the requirements of cl. (a), Shri Udhav Singh v. Madhav Rao Scindia, AIR 1976 SC 744: (1977) 1 SCC 511: (1976) 2 SCR 246.Distinction between 'material facts' and 'particulars'.

Carry over
Carry over, a term used in the Stock Exchange to denote the process of postponing the completion of a contract, either for the purchase or sale of stocks or shares, to a later date than that originally fixed. When this happens the buyer usually pays the seller interest on the capital involved, the seller retaining the stocks or shares till the transaction is ultimately completed. This interest is called a 'contango.' If, on the other hand, the buyer is anxious to pay for and take up to stocks or shares but the seller is unable to deliver, the buyer would not pay interest to the seller, but on the contrary exacts a payment from him, as consideration for postponing the completion of the contract. This payment is called a 'backwardation,' or shortly a 'back.'An income-tax deduction (esp. for a net operating loss) that cannot be taken entirely in a given period but may be taken in a later period (usu. the next five years), Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn....
