In or in relation to
In or in relation to, the words 'in or in relation to' which occur in clause (b) are not repeated in clause (c). But these words occur in S. 476 both with reference to clause (b) and clause (c) of s. 195 (1). The interpretation of these words is not res integra. There was a conflict of judicial opinion in regard to the meaning and ambit of these words. Now, thus, the settled position is that the bar in s. 195(1)(b) of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 does not apply if there is no proceeding in any court at all when the offence mentioned in the aforesaid clause (1) has been committed. In other words, the s. contemplates only the proceedings pending or concluded and not in contemplation. The rationale behind these decisions is that if the two proceed-ings, one in which the offence is committed and the other, the final proceedings, in the same or a transferee court are, in substance, different stages of the same integrated judicial process, the offence can be said to have been committed ...

Process and processing
Process and processing, the natural meaning of the word 'process' is a mode of treatment of certain materials in order to produce a good result, a species of activity performed on the subject matter in order to transform or reduce it to a certain stage. According to Oxford Dictionary one of the mean-ings of the word 'process' is 'a continuous and regular action or succession of actions taking place or carried on in a definite manner and leading to the accomplishment of some result.' The activity contemplated by the definition is perfectly general requiring only the continuous or quick succession. It is not one of the requisites that the activity should involve some operation on some material in order to effect its conversion to some particular stage. There is nothing in the natural meaning of the word 'process' to exclude its application to handling. There may be a process which consists only in handling and there may be a process which involves no handling or not merely handling but u...
Judicial power
Judicial power, 'judicial power' may be defined as the power to examine questions submitted for determination with a view to the pronouncement of an authoritative decision as to rights and liabilities of one or more parties, Firm of Mohd. Ali and Sons v. V. Madhavarao, AIR 1964 AP 132 (135). (Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, s. 24)The legislatures in India cannot exercise a power which can be described as essentially judicial and not legislative. There has been a lacuna in creating jurisdiction, supplies it, it acts within the legislative field. Where, however, the legislature goes further than this & compels the determination of a case at the hands of a court taking it completely out of reach of the court to make a contrary decision, the matter is one under judicial and not legislative power, Biharilal v. Ramcharan, AIR 1957 MP 165.Means the judicial power which every authority i.e., courts i.e., High Court and subordinate judiciary, established under Chapters V and VI of Part VI and th...
Environment

[National Environment Tribunal Act, 1995, s. 2 (d)]The word 'environment' is of broad spectrum which brings within its ambit 'hygienic atmosphere and ecological balance'. It is, therefore, not only the duty of the State but also the duty of every citizen to maintain hygienic environment, Virender Gaur v. State of Haryana, (1995) 2 SCC 577 (580). (Constitu-tion of India, Art. 21)Its normal meaning relates to the surroundings, but obviously that is a concept which is relatable to whatever object it is which is surrounded. It is a polycentric and multifaceted problem affecting the human existence, T.N. Gadavarman Thirmaplad v. Union of India, (2002) 10 SCC 606 (618): AIR 2003 SC 724.
