Reserve and provision
Reserve and provision, the expression 'reserve' has not been defined in the Act and therefore one would be inclined to resort to its ordinary natural meaning as given in the dictionary but it seems to us that the dictionary meaning, though useful in itself, may not be sufficient, for, the dictionaries do not make any distinction between the two concepts 'reserve' and 'provision' which giving their primary meanings, whereas in the context of the legislation with which we are concerned in the case a clear distinction between the two is implied. According to the dictionaries (both Oxford and Webster) the applicable primary meaning of the word 'reserve' is: 'to keep for future use or enjoyment; to set apart for some propose or end in view; to keep in store for future or special use; to keep in reserve', while 'provision' according to Webster means: 'something provided for future'. In other words according to the dictionary meanings both the words are more or less synonymous and connote the...

Reserved area and selected area, the expression 'reserved area' and 'selected area' means the area lawfully reserved under the Punjab Tenants (Security of Tenures) Act, 1950 (Act XXII of 1950), as amended by the President's Act of 1951.
