Book of account
Book of account, It involves either addition or subtraction or both of these operations of arithmetic. A book which contains successive entries of items may be a good memorandum book; but until those entries are totalled or balanced, or both, as the case may be, there is no reckoning and no account. In the making of totals and striking of balances from time to time lies the chief safeguard under which books of account have been distinguished from other private records as capable of containing substantive evidence on which reliance may be placed', CBI v. V.C. Shukla, (1998) 3 SCC 410: AIR 1998 SC 1406: 1998 Cr LJ 1905 (SC).-All companies registered under the (English) Companies Act,1929, are by s. 122 obliged to keep books of account of (a) all receipts and expenses with matters relating thereto; (b) all sales and purchases; and (c) the assets and liabilities of the company: these books are to be open to inspection by the directors-heavy penalties for non-compliance are imposed.

Freedom of speech
Freedom of speech, Freedom of speech presupposes that right conclusions are more likely to be gathered out of a multitude of tongues than through any kind of authoritative selection. It rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from as many diverse and antagonistic sources as possible is essential to the welfare of the public. It is function of the Press to disseminate news from as many different sources and with as many different facts and colours as possible. A citizen is entirely dependent on the Press for the quality, proportion and extent of his news supply. In such a situation, the exclusive and continues advocacy of one point of view through the medium of a newspaper which holds a monopolistic position is not conductive to the formation of healthy public opinion. If the newspaper industry is concentrated in a few hands, the chance of an idea antagonistic to the idea of the owners getting access to the market becomes very remote. But our consti...
Accession
Accession [fr. accedo, Lat.], addition, arriving at, the commencement of a sovereign's reign; also the absolute or conditional acceptance by a nation of a treaty already concluded between other countries. The accession of a sovereign takes place immediately upon the death of the preceding monarch. See BILL OF RIGHTS.Accession, means property by. The doctrine of property arising from accession is grounded on the right of occupancy, and derived from the Roman Law; thus if any given corporeal substance receive an accession, either by natural or artificial means, as by the growth of vegetables, the pregnancy of animals, the embroidering of cloth, or the conversion of wood or metal into utensils, the original owner of the thing was entitled by his right of possession to the property of it under its improved state; but if the thing itself by such operation was changed into a different species, as by making wine, oil, or bread out of another's grapes, olives, or wheat (specificatio, Lat.), it...
Bastard
Bastard [fornication], one born not of lawful marriage. [(English) Age of Marriage Act, 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. 5, c. 36)]The civil and canon laws did not allow a child to remain a bastard if the parents afterwards intermarried, but a proposal by the bishops to assimilate the law of England to the canon law in this respect was rejected by Parliament in 1235. See MERTON, STATUTE OF. The law of England remained thus for nearly 700 years, until the Legitimacy Act, 1926 (16 & 17 Geo. 5, c. 60), legitimated a child born out of wedlock upon the subsequent marriage of parents if they were domiciled in England or Wales at the date of marriage. See LEGITIMATION. In Scotland, however, and in most other Christian countries, including most, if not all, of the British Dominions, and most, if not all, of the United States of America, legitimation of the children has always followed the intermarriage of the parents.The mother of a bastard cannot validly contract with another person for the transfer to tha...
