Shares in public undertakings
Shares in public undertakings. Where the property is vested by charter or Act of Parliament in a body corporate, the shares of the individual corporators in the concern itself are personal, not real, estate; for such shares are merely the rights which each individual possesses as a partner to a share in the surplus profit derived from the employment of the capital, which is a mixed fund, consisting in part of personal chattels, as well as lands and fixtures. Shares in all companies which are within the Companies Acts (see the Companies Act, 1929, s. 62), OR THE Companies Clauses Act, 1845, are personal property; and in many cases of companies incorporated by special Act the shares have been expressly declared to be personal property. Before 1926 the question whether shares in other under-takings were real or personal property turned upon the nature of the shares-that is, whether the holder could call for a specific part of the land itself or only a share of the profits.

Sale of goods
Sale of goods, in Entry 48 of List II Sch. VII of the Government of India Act, 1935, 'sale of goods' has the same meaning which it has in the Indian Sale of Goods Act, 1930, that in a building contract there is no sale of materials as such, and that it is therefore ultra vires the powers of the Provincial Legislature to impose tax on the supply of materials, Pandit Banarsi Das Bhanot v. State of M.P., AIR 1958 SC 909 (912): (1959) SCR 427.It is now settled law that the words 'sale of goods' have to be construed not in the popular sense but in their legal sense and should be given the same meaning which they carry in the Sale of Goods Act, 1930. The expression 'sale of goods' is a nomen juris, its essential ingredient being an agreement to sell movables for a price and property passing therein pursuant to that agreement, T.V. Sundaram Iyengar & Sons v. State of Madras, AIR 1974 SC 2309: (1975) 3 SCC 424: (1975) 2 SCR 372.On the true interpretation of the expression 'sale of goods' there...
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...
