If sold in open market
If sold in open market, the words 'if sold in the open market' do not contemplate actual sale or the actual state of the market, but only enjoins that it should be assumed that there is an open market and the property can be sold in such a market and on that basis, the value has to be found out. It is a hypothetical case which is contemplated and the Tax Officer must assume that there is an open market in which the asset can be sole, Ahmed G.H. Ariff v. C.W.T., (1969) 2 SCC 471: AIR 1971 SC 1691 (1696). [Wealth Tax Act, 1957, s. 7(1)]...

Special case
Special case. By (English) R.S.C. 1883, Ord. XXXIV., the parties may, after writ issued, concur in stating the questions of law arising in the action in the form of a special case for the opinion of the Court, and 'if it appear to the Court or a judge that there is in any action a question of law which it would be convenient to have decided before any evidence is given or any question or issue of fact is tried, or before any reference is made to a referee or an arbitrator, the Court or judge may make an ordr accordingly, and may direct such question of law to be raised for the opinion of the Court, either by special case, or in such other manner as the Court or judge may deem expedient.' Similar power is given to referees to state a case by Ord. XXXVI., r. 52, and see the (English) Administration of Justice Act, 1932 (22 & 23 Geo. 5, c. 55). As to special case before the Judicature Acts, see (English) C.L.P. Act, 1852, ss. 42-48, and 13 & 14 Vict. c. 35 [(English) Turner's Act]. Where ...
case number
case number The National Visa Center (NVC) gives each immigrant petition a case number. This number has three letters followed by ten digits (numbers). The three letters are an abbreviation for the overseas embassy or consulate that will process the immigrant visa case (for example, GUZ for Guangzhou, CDJ for Ciudad Juarez). The digits tell us exactly when NVC created the case. For example a case with the number MNL2001747003 would be a case assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. 2001 is the year in which NVC received the case from the USCIS (formerly INS). The Julian date is 747 plus 500, so this case was created on September 4, 2001, the 247th day of the year. The 003 shows that it was the third case created for Manila on that day. This case number is not the same as the USCIS receipt number, which is written on the Notice of Action, Form I-797, from the USCIS. A consular section abroad cannot find a case if all you have is the USCIS receipt number. Source: Department of State. ...
Case, action on the
Case, action on the. The action on the case lay where a party sued for damages for any wrong or cause of complaint (such as negligence, or breach of contract not under seal) to which covenant or trespass did not apply. Statutory sanction was obtained for this form of action under the Statute of Westminster 2 (13 Edw. 1, c. 24), which regulated and limited the increasing practice of framing new writs by officers of the Crown and empowered the Clerks in Chancery to frame new writs in consimili casu with writs then in existence, see Pollock on Torts and Law Quarterly Review, Vol. 52, p. 68. Under the statutory sanction many new writs which were analogous to the writ of trespass, or in consimili casu with that action, were invented and issued under the appellation of 'trespass on the case' (brevia 'de transgressione super casum') as being founded on the particular circumstances of the case thus requiring a remedy, and to distinguish them from the old writ of trespass; and the injuries them...
