Receiving order
Receiving order. An order of the court on the petition of a creditor, or of the debtor himself, granted for the protection of the estate on an act of bankruptcy being established. The order con-stitutes the official receiver the receiver of the debtor's property. Legal proceedings against the person or property of the debtor in respect of debts provable in bankruptcy can thenceforth be restrained by the official receiver. The effect of the order is that unless a scheme or composition is accepted by the creditors the debtor is adjudged bankrupt. See (English) Bankruptcy Act, 1914, ss. 3, 7, 37 (2), 107(4), and (English) Bankruptcy Rules, 1915, rr. 179-188A. Receiving orders in bankruptcy, whether or not known to affect land, must be registered at the Land Registry every five years or else the title of the trustee in bankruptcy will be void against a purchaser of a legal estate in good faith for money or money's worth without notice of an available act of bankruptcy under a conveyance ma...
Anticipation
Anticipation, doing or taking a thing before the appointed time. For anticipation of an invention see PATENTS. A married woman may be restrained by the terms of a will or settlement from aliening, by way of anticipation, property settled to her separate use during coverture. Such a clause absolutely disables her from selling, mortgaging or dealing with the property in anticipation, but it does not apply to income actually accrued due, Hood Barrs v. Heriot, 1896 AC 174, and on the determination of the coverture the restraint is at an end, Tullett v. Armstrong, (1839) 4 My&Cr 377; 1 Beav 1. Such a provision is only effective during coverture; it cannot affect dispositions in favour of a man, Brandon v. Robinson, (1871) 18 Ves 429, or a feme sole. The restraint may be applied either to corpus or income, usually only to the latter; in a marriage settlement the wife's income is almost invariably directed to be paid to her, without power of anticipation.' The L.P. Act, 1925, s. 169, repeatin...

Scheduled caste
Scheduled caste, article 341 makes it clear that a 'Scheduled Caste' need not be a 'caste' in the conventional sense and, therefore, may not be a caste within the meaning of Article 15(2) or 16(2). Scheduled Castes become such only if the President specifies any castes, races or tribes or parts or groups within castes, races or tribes for the purpose of the Constitution. So, a group or a s. of a group, which need not be a caste and may even be a hotchpotch of many castes or tribes or even races, may still be a Scheduled Caste under Article 341. Likewise, races or tribal communities or parts thereof or part or parts of groups within them may still be Scheduled Tribes (Article 342) for the purpose of the Constitution. Under this definition, one group in a caste may be a Scheduled Caste and another from the same caste may not be. It is the socio-economic backwardness of a social bracket, not mere birth in a caste, that is decisive. Conceptual errors creep in when traditional obsessions ob...
