Joining together
Joining together, the expression 'joining together' in paragraph 16(1) is apparently used in its broad meaning. According to the Webster's New World Dictionary, 1962 Edn. Page 789 the word 'join' has these meanings. '(1) to place together, bring to-gether, connect, pass on, combine; (2) to make into one, unite; (3) to become a part or a member of; enter into association with; (4) to go to and combine with; (5) to enter into the company of' a company; (6) to go and take one's proper place in.' The word has evidently got several meanings. When it is used in the sense of 'combine', it may imply mingling together of things, often with a loss of distinction of elements that completely merge with one another, Ramashankar Kaushik v. Election Commission of India, AIR 1974 SC 445: (1974) 1 SCC 271. [Election Symbols (Reservations and Allot-ment Order, 1968, Para. 16(1)]There is nothing in the context to restrict its meaning to a case of merger of two or more political parties and their resultan...

Husband and wife
Husband and wife. the Common Law treated them, for most purposes, as one person, giving, with exceptions comparatively unimportant, the whole of a woman's property to her husband for his absolute use, and a husband could not make a grant to his wife at the Common Law, though he might do so: (1) under the Statute of Uses, by granting an estate to another person for her use; (2) by creating a trust in her favour; (3) by the custom of particular places; (4) by surrendering copyholds to her use; and (5) by will.Equity, however, from very early times, by the doctrines of 'separate use,' 'trusts,' and 'equity to a settlement,' very largely modified the Common Law in favour of the wife; and the statute law has, by s. 1 of the Law Reform (Married Women and Tortfeasors Act), 1935 (25 & 26 Geo. 5, c. 30), almost completely abolished the property distinction between an unmarried and a married woman. See MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY.At Common Law, a gift of either realty or personal-ity to a husband a...
