Condition of service

Condition of service, includes transfer of the employees, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief v. Subhash Chandra Yadav, (1988) 2 SCC 351: AIR 1988 SC 876. [Cantonment Board Service Rules (1937) R. 5C]The expression 'conditions of service' is an expression of wide import. As pointed by the Supreme Court in Pradyat Kumar Bose v. Hon'ble the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court, (1955) 2 SCR 1331, the dismissal of an official is a matter which falls within 'conditions of service' of public servants.

Papist

Papist [fr. papa, Lat., a pope], one who, adhering to the communion of the Church of Rome, maintains the supreme ecclesiastical power of the Pope, as contradistinguished from English Protestants who in Statutes, Canons, and the 36th Article of Religion maintain the supreme ecclesiastical power of the sovereign. From the date of the Reformation Papists, either under that title or under the title of persons professing the Popish religion, or of Popish recusants convict, were subjected, by one statute after another, to various civil and religious disabilities, the removal of which began in 1788, and was to a great extent completed by the Roman Catholic Emancipation Act, 1829, which Act and other Acts, the earliest being an Act of 1791, speak of them as Roman Catholics. See ROMAN CATHO-LICS, and consult Lilly and Wallis's Manual of the Law specially affecting Catholics (1893)....

Recital

Recital, is evidence as against the parties to the instrument and those claiming under them and in an action on the instrument itself, the recitals operate as an estoppel, though would not be so on a collateral matter, Ram Charan Das v. Girja Nandini Devi, AIR 1966 SC 323: (1965) 1 SCWR 837: (1966) 1 SCJ 61.The rehearsal or making mention in a deed or writing of something which has been done before, 1 Lilly Abr. 416. As to how far the recitals govern the construction of a deed the rule is as follows:-If the recitals are clear and the operative part is ambiguous, the recitals govern the construction. If the recitals are ambiguous, and the operative part is clear, the operative part must prevail. If both the recitals and the operative part are clear, but they are inconsistent with each other, the operative part is to be preferred [Ex parte Dawes, (1886) 17 QBD 286, per Lord Esher, M.R.]. As between the parties to a deed and for its purposes only and subject to the intention of the partie...
