Instant tea
Instant tea, the term 'instant tea' gives a meaning that it is a 'tea', which can be prepared/used instantaneously. Merely because the product is known as 'instant tea', it does not cease to be known commercially as 'tea'. Whether tea is consumed as hot beverage or a cold beverage depending upon one's liking and taste, it does not make any difference in deciding whether it is a tea falling within the definition of s. 3(n) of the Act. Preparation of tea and the process of manufacture of 'instant tea' powder cannot take away 'instant tea' out of definition of 'tea' under the Act, CCE v. Tata Tea Ltd., AIR 2002 SC 2046 (2047). [Tea Act, 1953, ss. 3(n) and 25]...

Glass ware
Glass ware, the dictionary meaning of the expres-sion 'glass ware' is 'articles made of glass' (see WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY).However, in commercial sense glass ware would never comprise articles like clinical syringes, thermometers, lectometers, and the like which have specialised significance and utility. In popular or commercial parlance a general merchant dealing in 'glass ware' does not ordinarily deal in articles like clinical syringes, thermometers, medical stores or with the manufacturers thereof like the assessee. It is equally unlikely that consumer would ask for such articles from a glass ware shop. In popular sense when one talks of glass ware such specialised articles like clinical syringes, thermometer, lectometers and the like do not come up to ones mind, Indo International Industries v. Commissioner of Sales Tax, AIR 1981 SC 1079 (1081): (1981) 2 SCC 528: (1981) 3 SCR 294. [U.P. Sales Tax, (15 of 1948)]...
Fixtures
Fixtures. Things of an accessory character which are not something which is part of the original struc-ture, Boswell v. Crucible Steel Co., (1925) 1 KB 119, annexed to houses or lands, which become, immediately on annexation, part of the realty itself, i.e., governed by the same law which applies to the land, in conformity with the maxim quicquid plantatur solo, solo cedit. The application of this legal principle, however, is not uniform, as may be thus shown:(1) Between landlord and tenant. If the chattels be not let into the soil, they are not fixtures at all, and may be removed at will, like any other species of personal property. When the chattel is connected with the free-hold, by being let into the earth, or by being cemented or otherwise united to some erection attached to the ground, the question arises-when may the tenant remove such fixtures?The general rule as to annexations made by a tenant during the continuance of his term is the following-Whenever he has affixed anything...
Landlord and tenant
Landlord and tenant. A tenancy arises when the owner of an estate inland, called the lessor or landlord, agrees expressly or by implication to allow another person, called the lessee or tenant, to enjoy the exclusive possession and use of the land for a period less than the landlord's estate in it, generally upon payment of rent. The landlord's estate is called the reversion, and at common law, a power of distress for rent is incident to the reversion.Leases or tenancies may be (1) for any agreed period such as for years or less, e.g., for a year, half-year, quarter or week; (2) from year to year; (3) at will; (4) on sufferance; or (5) they may arise upon estoppel; or (6) exist by force of a statute (see LEASE; INCREASE OF RENT). In a narrower sense the words 'tenancy' and 'landlord and tenant' are generally restricted to lease of a house or land for occupational purposes. If nothing appears to the contrary, either expressly or by implication, in the lease or agreement, the landlord is...
Post-graduate degree
Post-graduate degree, by 'post-graduate degree' is meant a Master's degree like the M.A. or M.Sc. and not a Bachelor's degree like the B.T. In other words, the expression connotes the successful completion of a course of studies at a higher level in any speciality, after the acquisition of a basic qualification at the graduate level. The B.T. course of studies, is open only to graduates and in a dictionary manner of speaking, the degree of 'Bachelor of Teaching' may be said to be a 'post' graduate degree in the same that the degree is obtainable only 'after graduation', Juthika Bhattacharya v. State of Madhya Pradesh, AIR 1976 SC 2534 (2536): (1976) 4 SCC 96.Post-graduate degree, has acquired, in the educatio-nal world, a special significance, a technical content. A Bachelor's degree like the B.T., or the LL.B. is not considered to be a postgraduate degree even though those degrees can be taken only after post-graduate. In the refined and elegant world of education, it is the holder of...
