Adequate consideration
Adequate consideration, The condition regarding adequate consideration would not apply to a gift, as a gift is a transfer without consideration, Kumari Sonia Bhatia v. State of U.P., AIR 1981 SC 1274: (1981) 2 SCC 585. [Contract Act, 1872, s. 2(b) (9 of 1872)]In the absence of a definition of the phrase 'adequate consideration', the common parlance meaning of the term has to be accepted. A reference to the decision of Hidayatullah, J. as he then was in Tulsidas Kilachand v. CIT shows that the words 'adequate consideration' were held to denote consideration other than mere love and affection which, in the case of a wife, may be presumed. When the law insists that there should be 'adequate consideration' and not good consideration , it excludes mere love and affection, Major V. P. Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh, 1991 Supp (2) SCC 346 (347): AIR 1991 SC 1502. [U.P. Imposition of ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1960, s. 5(6) Proviso(b) second clause]The words 'adequate consideration' clearl...

Bill of Rights
Bill of Rights, a declaration delivered by the Lords and Commons to the Prince and Princess of Orange, and afterwards enacted in Parliament, when they became King and Queen, as 1 W. & M., sess. 2, c. 2. Its Preambles sets forth that King James, by the assistance of evil counsellors, endeavoured 'to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion and the laws and liberties of this kingdom,' by exercising a power of dispensing with and suspending of laws; by levying money for the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative, without consent of Parliament; by prosecuting those who petitioned the King, and discouraging petitions; by raising and keeping a standing army in time of peace; by violating the freedom of election of members to serve in Parliament; by violent prosecutions and the causing partial and corrupt jurors to be returned on trials, excessive bail to be taken, excessive fines to be imposed, and cruel punishments to be inflicted; all of which are declared to be illegal; and the ...
Bond
Bond [fr. binda, band, bunden, A. S., to bind], a written acknowledgement or binding of a debt under seal. See DEED. No technical form of words is necessary to constitute a bond; see Gerrard v. Clowes, (1892) 2 QB 11; Strickland v. Williams, (1899) 1 QB 382. The person giving the bond is called the obligor, and he to whom it is given the obligee. A bond is called single (simplex obligatio) when it is without a penalty, but there is generally a condition added, that, if the obligor does or forbears from some act, the obligation shall be void, or else shall remain in full force, and the bond is then called a double or conditional one; see Dav. Prec. Vol. V., pt. Ii., p. 268. When a bond contains a penalty, which is generally double the amount of the principal sum secured, only the sum actually owing, with interest, can be recovered, and in no case can this exceed the amount appearing on the face of the bond. See 8 & 9 Wm. 3, c. 11, s. 8; Re Dixon, (1900) 2 Ch 561.Although it is unnecessa...
