At the instance of
At the instance of, according to the plain English language, the ordinary meaning of the phrase 'at the instance of in the collocation of words 'No prosecution shall be instituted............. except at the instance of' must, in the context in which it appears mean 'at the behest of, or at the solicitation of.' The word 'instance' as a verb means 'to urge, entreat urgently, importune.' The meaning of the phrase 'at the instance of' as given in Random House Dictionary of the English Language at p. 690 is: 'at the urging or suggestion of 'Instance' does not imply the same degree of obligation to obey as does 'command'. That is also the legal sense in which the phrase 'at the instance of s. 50 of the Act has been understood. It is clear upon the terms of s. 50 that it nowhere requires that the authorization should be by a notification published in the Official Gazette, State of Karnataka v. Adimusthy, (1983) 3 SCC 268: AIR 1983 SC 822 (823). (Electricity Act, 1910, s. 50)...
Maker and drawer
Maker and drawer, a clear distinction appears to have been made between 'maker' and 'drawer', the former word being used in a more general sense as applying to promissory notes, negotiable instru-ments and cheques, while the word 'drawer' is restricted to bills of exchange or cheques only, and is nowhere used in connection with promissory notes, Firm Sheikh Mohammad Ismail Maula Bakhsh v. Mian Abdul Majid Khan, AIR 1937 Lah 259....
Official solicitor
Official solicitor. The duties of this officer at the present time are nowhere very clearly defined: see (English) Judicature Act, 1925, s. 129, replacing (English) Official Solicitor Act, 1919 (9 & 10 Geo. 5, c. 30). A petition or summons respecting any dealing with a dormant fund, i.e., a fund in Court which has not been dealt with for fifteen years, must be served on the Official Solicitor: (English) R.S.C. Ord. XXII., Rule 11; and he has placed upon him by the (English) Court of Chancery Act, 1860 (20 & 23 Vict. c. 149), s. 2, the duty of visiting prisoners committed for contempt, and he may be assigned as solicitor to pauper litigants, and acts as guardian ad litem to persons under a disability. Subject to an order to the contrary, under Ord. LXIII., Rule 13, his costs are taxed as between party and party, Eady v. Elsdon, (1901) 2 KB 460....
Pious purpose
Pious purpose, a Hindu father or any other manag-ing member has power to make a gift within reasonable limits of ancestral immovable property for pious purposes but a gift by the father-in-law to the daughter-in-law at the time of marriage cannot by any stretch of reasoning be called a pious pur-poses, Ammathayee v. Kumaresan, AIR 1967 SC 589 (578).Means a gift for charitable and religious purposes. But the court has extended the meaning of 'pious purposes' to cases where a Hindu father makes a gift within reasonable limits of immovable ancestral property to his daughter in fulfilment of an antenuptial promise made on the occasion of the settlement of the terms of her marriage, and the same can also be done by the mother in case the father is dead. The scope of pious purpose does not extend to a gift by a husband to his wife of immovable ancestral property. Even the father-in-law would not be competent to make a gift at the time of the marriage of his daughter-in-law in so far as immov...
Valid votes
Valid votes, the expression 'valid votes' has nowhere been defined in the Act, but in the light of the provisions of s. 36(8) of the Act read with rule 58, two things are clear, first that the candidates are validly nominated candidates whose nomination papers are accepted by the returning officer scrutiny, and second that the provision of s. 58 provides that the ballot papers which are not rejected under Rule 57 are deemed to be 'valid ballot papers' and are to be counted as such, AIR 1960 SC 131 followed; Jabar Singh v. Genda Lal, AIR 1964 SC 1200 (1208): (1964) 6 SCR 54. [Representa-tion of the People Act, 1951, s. 36(8), Conduct of Election Rules, 1961, R. 58]...
Within
Within, the expression 'within' should be read as 'during' or 'for' and this cannot be done because words cannot be construed contrary to their meaning as the word 'within' would mean 'on or before', 'not beyond' and, therefore, it was held that the Act would mean that on or before the expiration of the iddat period, the husband is bound to make and pay a maintenance to the wife and if he fails to do so then the wife is entitled to recover it by filing an application before the Magistrate as provided in s. 3(3) but nowhere the Parliament has provided that reasonable and fair provision and maintenance is limited only for the iddat period and not beyond it. It would extend to the whole life of the divorced wife unless she gets married for a second time, Danial Latifi v. Union of India, AIR 2001 SC 3958 (3969): (2001) 7 SCC 740. [Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce Act, 1986, s. 3(1)(a)]...
