Winning, a mineral means getting or extracting it from the mine, Bihar Mines Ltd. v. Union of India, AIR 1967 SC 887 (892). [Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957, s. 3(d)]According to the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, 'to win' has the meanings: (i) to get or extract coal or other mineral from the mine, pit or quarry; (ii) to sink shaft or make excavation so as to reach a seam of coal or vein of ore and prepare it for working. The expression 'to win' interpreted in the English cases was in respect of the context of the expression used in certain leases. The expression 'winning' in a constitutional provision like Art. 31A(1)(e) should be given a wider meaning as the Constitution-makers would be using it to cover cases which deal with the obtaining of minerals and in that case wider meaning would be 'to get or extract the mineral from the mine', the expression 'winning' in Article 31A(1)(e) be construed to mean getting or extracting mineral from the mines and other incid...
Directly
Directly, The word 'directly', according to Webster's New World Dictionary, means 'in a direct way, without a person or thing coming between'; 'immediately as directly responsible', The use of the expression 'directly' in the context of the word 'worked', followed by the words 'by him' unmistakably shows that the Legislative intent was to allow only those intermediaries to retain land comprised nor appertaining to a mine, as lessees under the State, who immediately before the date of vesting, were working the mine under their immediate control, management and supervision. Thus construed, the phrase 'being directly worked by him' in the s. will not take in a case where the mine was being worked through a lessee or licensee to whom the right to conduct mining operations and to take away the mineral had been granted by the intermediary in consideration of receiving a periodic rent, royalty or a like amount, Shri Shri Tarakeshwar Sio Thakur Jiu v.

Registration of title of land
Registration of title of land. The (English) Land Registration Act, 1925 (15 Geo. 5, c. 21), repeals and re-enacts the (English) Land Transfer Acts, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 87) and 1897 (60 & 61 Vict. c. 65), with amendments in keeping with innovations which were introduced by the property laws of 1925.

The advantages which are claimed for the system are (a) purchasers for value of an absolute or good leasehold title are absolved from any inquiry into the title other than it is shown to be on the register; (b) certain equitable claims which would be binding on the land under the general law and cannot be removed or over-reached without onerous formalities do not affect such purchasers; (c) the method of conveyance or charge is simple; (d) subject to the statutory provisions, registration guarantees the title to purchasers for value and mortgagees. It should be observ...
