Condition of service, includes transfer of the employees, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief v. Subhash Chandra Yadav, (1988) 2 SCC 351: AIR 1988 SC 876. [Cantonment Board Service Rules (1937) R. 5C]The expression 'conditions of service' is an expression of wide import. As pointed by the Supreme Court in Pradyat Kumar Bose v. Hon'ble the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court, (1955) 2 SCR 1331, the dismissal of an official is a matter which falls within 'conditions of service' of public servants. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in North West Frontier Province v. Suraj Narain Anand, (1948) LR 75 IA 343, took the view that a right of dismissal is a condition of service within the meaning of the words under s. 243 of the Government of India Act, 1935. Lord Thankerton speaking for the Board observed therein: 'apart from consideration whether the context indicates a special significance to the expression 'conditions of service' their Lordships are unable in the absence of any su...
Colony
Colony [fr. colo, Lat., to cultivate], a settlement in a foreign country possessed and cultivated, either wholly or partially, by immigrants and their descendants, who have a political connection with and subordination to the mother-country whence they emigrated. In other words, it is a place peopled from some more ancient city or country.England was not the first among European nations that planted settlements in parts beyond Europe. But by her own colonization, and by the conquests of the settlements of other nations, she was now acquired a more extensive dominion of colonies and dependencies than any other nation. The colonies of Great Britain exceed in number, extent, and value those of every other country.In an Act of Parliament (English) passed after 1889 the expression 'colony' means by s. 18(3), of the Interpretation Act, 1889, 'any part of her Majesty's dominions, exclusive of the British Islands and of British India, and where parts of such dominions are under both a central ...

Letters of request
Letters of request: (1) The mode of commencing an original suit in the Court of Arches, instead of proceeding in the first instance in the Consistory Court. These letters dispense with instituting a suit in an inferior ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and authorize it in the superior Court, otherwise only a Court of Appeal. The judge of the inferior Court waives his jurisdiction, which attaches to the appellate Court, without consent from the intended defendant, 1 Hagg. Eccl. R. 4, note (a).See also (English) Church Discipline Act, 1840 (3 & 4Vict. c. 86), s. 13, by which a bishop may send a case by letters of request to the Court of Appeal to the province.(2) The words 'letters of request' are used with reference to the 'request to examine witnesses in lieu of a commission,' which may be made under R.S.C., Ord. XXXVII., r. (6) (a), to the courts of foreign countries and the Colonies. It is the only method of obtaining evidence in some countries. See notes to the above rule in Annual Pract...
Baronet
Baronet [fr. Baron, Fr., and et, diminutive termination], the holder of a dignity of inheritance created by letters-patent, and descendible to the issue male. The order was instituted in 1611 by James I., who conferred the dignity in consideration of the payment of 1,000l. to the Crown, the money so raised being applied to pay the troops sent to quell an insurrection in the province of Ulster in Ireland. The number was at first 200, but has since much increased.By a Royal Warrant (see The Times, Feb. 12, 1910) an official Roll of Baronets is kept, and no one who is not on that roll is received as a baronet or entitled to be addressed as such.As an incorporeal hereditament a baronetcy is 'land' within the meaning of 'land,' see (English) L.P. Act, 1925, ss. 201(1) and 130(2), with the necessary qualifications arising by reason of the inherent nature of a title of honour, and see S.L. Act, 1928, s. 67 [Re Rivett-Carnac, (1885) 30 Ch D 136]....
Archbishop
Archbishop [fr. apxletlokotos, Gk., fr. apxwv, chief, and emokotos, bishop], the chief of the clergy in his province; he has supreme power under the king in all ecclesiastical causes, and superintends the conduct of other bishops, his suffragans. The archbishops are said to be enthroned when they are vested in the archbishopric, whereas bishops are said to be installed. An archbishop, if promoted from a bishopric, as is usually the case, does not require any further consecration, but all archbishops require both election and confirmation, similarly to bishops. England has two archbishops, Canterbury and York. The Archbishop of Canterbury, in granting licenses and dispensations, has taken the place of the Pope before 25 Hen. 8, c. 21, by virtue of s. 3 of that Act. He is styled Primate of all England, the Archbishop of York being styled Primate of England. And see BISHOP; CONFIRMATION....
Law in force and existing law
Law in force and existing law, there is hardly any material difference between 'an existing law' and 'a law in force'. Quite apart from Article 366(10) of the Constitution, the expression 'Indian law' has itself been defined in s. 3(29) of the General Clauses Act as meaning any Act, Ordinance, regulation, rule, order, or bye-law which before the commencement of the Constitution had the force of law in any province of India or part thereof. The words 'law in force' as used in Article 372 are wide enough to include not merely a legislative enactment but also any regulation or order which has the force of law, Edward Mills v. State of Ajmer, AIR 1955 SC 25 (31): (1955) 1 SCR 735. [Constitution of India, Articles 372 & 366(10)]...
