Folc-land
Folc-land, the land of the folk or people. It was the property of the community. It might be occupied in common or possessed in severalty: and in the latter case, it was probably parcelled out to individuals in the fole-gemot or Court of the district: and the grant sanctioned by the freemen there present. But while it continued to be folc-land it could not be alienated in perpetuity; and therefore, on the expiration of the term for which it had been granted, it reverted to the community, and was again distributed by the same authority. Spelman describes folc-land as terra popularis qu' jure communi possidetur-sine scripto (Gloss. Voce Folc-land).

The possessors of folc-land were bound to as...
Entertainment expenditure
Entertainment expenditure, the expression 'enter-tainment expenditure' is of wide import. However, in the context of disallowance of 'entertainment expenditure' as a business expenditure by virtue of sub-s. (2A) of s. 37, the word 'entertainment' must be construed strictly and not expansively. Ordinarily, 'entertainment' connotes something which may be beneficial for the mental or physical well being but is not essential or indispensable for human existence. A bare necessity, like ordinary meal, is essential or indispensable and, therefore, is not 'entertainment' the expenditure incurred in extending customary hospitality by offering ordinary meals as a bare necessity, is not 'entertainment expenditure', C.I.T. v. Patel Bros., (1995) 4 SCC 485: AIR 1995 SC 1829 (1833). [Income-tax Act, (43 of 1961), s. 37(2A)]...
