They are appointed every five years: see the Public Works Loans Act, 1930 (20 & 21 Geo. 5, c. 49).

Deputation
Deputation, concept of 'deputation' is well under-stood in service law and has a recognised meaning. 'Deputation' has a different connotation in-service law and the dictionary meaning of the word 'deputation' is of no help. In simple words 'deputation' means service outside the cadre or outside the parent department. Deputation is deputing or transferring an employee to a post outside his cadre, that is to say, to another department on a temporary basis. After the expiry period of deputation the employee has to come back to his parent department to occupy the same position unless in the meanwhile he has earned promotion in his parent department as per Recruitment Rules, State of Punjab v. Inder Singh, AIR 1998 SC 7 (15): (1998) 7 SCC 372.'Deputation' can be aptly described as an assignment of an employee (commonly referred to as the deputationist) of one department or cadre or even an organisation (commonly referred to as the parent department or lending authority) to another departmen...

Passengers
Passengers, persons conveyed from one place to another. Passenger ships are those peculiarly appropriated to the conveyance of passengers, as distinguished from cargo ships. In some respects, passengers by ship may be considered as a portion of the crew. They may be called on by the master or commander of the ship, in case of imminent danger, either from tempest or enemies, to lend their assistance for the general safety; and in the event of their declining, may be punished for disobedience. This principle has been recognized in several cases; but as the authority arises out of the necessity of the case, it must be exercised strictly within the limits of that necessity, Boyce v. Bayliffe, (1807) 1 Camp 58.A passenger is not, however, bound to remain on board a ship in the hour of danger, but may quit it if he has an opportunity; and he is not required to take upon himself any responsibility as to the conduct of the ship; if he incurs any responsibility, and perform extraordinary servic...
Pandect', or Digesta
Pandect', or Digesta. In the last month of the year AD 530, Justinian, by a constitution addressed to Tribonian, empowered him to name a commission for the purpose of forming a code out of the writings of those jurists who had enjoyed the Jus respondendi, or, as it is expressed by the emperor, 'antiquorum prudentium quibus auctoritatem conscribendarum interpretandarumque legum sacratissimi principes pr'buerunt.' The compilation, however, comprises extracts from some writers of the republican period, Const. Deo Auctore. Ten years were allowed for the completion of the work. The instructions of the emperor were, to select what was useful, to omit what was antiquated or superfluous, to avoid unnecessary repetitions, to get rid of contradictions, and to make such other changes as should produce out of the mass of ancient juristical writings a useful and complete body of law (jus Antiquum);--the work was to be named Digesta, a Latin term indicating an arrangement of materials; or Pandect', ...

[Assam Money-lenders Act, (4 of 1934), s. 2(1)]--The (English) Money-lenders Act, 1900 (63 & 64 Vict. c. 51), by s. 6 defines the expression 'money-lender' therein as includingevery person whose business is that of money-lending, or who advertises or announces himself or holds himself out in any way as carrying on that business.but not including a pawnbroker (see that title), a Friendly, Building, or Loan Society (see those titles) or a corporation empowered by statute to lend money, orany person bona fide carrying on the business of banking or insurance or bona fide carrying on any business not having for its primary object the leading of money, in the course of which and for the purposes whereof he lends money; or any body corporate for the time being exempted from registration under this Act by order...
Joint-tenancy
Joint-tenancy. This tenancy is created where the same interest in real or personal property is, by the act of the party, passed by the same matter of conveyance or claim in solido, and not as merchan-dise, or for purposes of speculation, to two or more persons in the same right, either simply, or by construction or operation of law jointly, with a jus accrescendi, that is, a gradual concentration of property from more to fewer, by the accession of the part of him or them that die to the survivors or survivor, till it passes to a single hand, and the joint-tenancy ceases.Anciently, joint-tenancy was favoured because it did not induce fractions of estates, and returning to early principles the (English) Land Legislation of 1925 has employed the tenure generally as the machinery by which legal estate may in such cases always be in some person, called the estate owner, who is competent to give a title to the whole estate without the concurrence of other parties. that legal estate has been ...
