Entertainment
Entertainment, In Stroud's Judicial Dictionary (4th Edn., Vol. 2, p. 916) the word 'entertainment' has been defined thus:Entertainment ..... for a public or special occasion ...... is an entertainment in the sense of a gathering of persons for entertainment.Entertainment (Small Lotteries and Gaming Act, 1956) c. 45, s. 4(1) included a tombola drive alone without accompanying festivities.The monologue or patter of a comedian, even if delivered at an entertainment provided by an institution whose activities are parly educational, was held to be a variety 'entertainment' within the meaning of the section.Similarly in Words and Phrases, Judicially Defined (Vol. 2, pp. 206- 207) the word entertainment has been defined thus:Entertainment is something connected with the enjoyment of refreshment-rooms, tables, and the like.

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)]...
Pawn or Pledge
Pawn or Pledge [fr. pignus, Lat.], a bailment of goods by a debtor to his creditor, to be kept till the debt is discharged.A mortgage of goods is in the Common Law distinguishable from a mere pledge or pawn. By a mortgage the whole legal title passes conditionally to the mortgagee; and if the goods be not redeemed at the stipulated time, the title becomes absolute at law although equity allows a redemption. But in a pledge, a special property only passes to the pledgee, the general property remaining in the pledgor. Also, in the case of a pledge, the right of a pledgee is not consummated, except by possession; and, ordinarily, when that possession is relinquished, the right of the pledgee is extinguished or waived. But, in the case of a mortgage of personal property the right of property passes by the conveyance to the mortgagee, and the possession is not or may not be essential to create or support the title.As to things which may be the subject of pawn: These are, ordinarily, goods a...
