Tamashuk sarti kebala, in law Lexicon, P. Ramanatha Iyer gives the following meanings to the word 'kebala'; 'Any deed of conveyance or transfer of right or property, any contract of bargain or sale, a bond, a bill sale, title-deeds, and the like'. Even accepting the widest meaning given to that word, the expression can only mean a bond or a contract by way of conditional sale. So trans-lated the expression is consistent with a mortgage, as well as with a sale and therefore that is a neutral circumstance, Bhoju Mandal v. Debnath Bhagat, AIR 1963 SC 1906 (1908): (1963) 2 Supp SCR 82.

Voting, voting is formal expression of will or opinion by the person entitled to exercise the right on the subject or issue in question. In Black's Law Dictionary it is explained as, 'the expression of one's will, preference, or choice, formally mani-fested by a member of a legislative or deliberative body, or of a constituency or a body of qualified electors, in regard to the decision to be made by the body as a whole upon any proposed measure or proceeding or in passing laws, rules or regulations, or the selection of an officer or representative'. Right to vote means right to exercise the right in favour of or against the motion or resolution. Such a right implies right to remain neutral as well, Lily Thomas, Advocate v.
