Premises
Premises (pr'missa), in logic, propositions antecedently supposed or proved. In a deed the 'premises' are all the parts preceding the habendum. The word properly applies to what has been previously described or mentioned, and is used only in that sense in well-drawn instruments (Dav. Prec. in Conveyancing, vol. i.). It is, however, often used as meaning land or houses.For the statutory meaning, see particular statutes, e.g., (English) Public Health Act, 1875, s. 4, where 'premises' includes messuages, buildings, lands, easements, tenements and hereditaments of any tenure.Include any shop, stall, or place where any article of good is sold or manufactured or stored for sale.

Sewer

Their jurisdiction is to overlook the repairs of the banks and walls of the sea-coast and navigable rivers; or, with consent of a certain proportion of the owners and occupiers, to make new ones, and to cleanse such rivers, and the streams communicating therewith, and is confined to such county or particular district as the commission shall name.

Insurance
Insurance, see, Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), s. 80C, Expl. 1.Insurance, the act of providing against a possible loss, by entering into a contract with one who is willing to give assurance, that is, to bind himself to make good such loss should it occur. In this contract, the chances of benefit are equal to the insured and the insurer. The first actually pays a certain sum, and the latter undertakes to pay a larger, if an accident should happen. The one renders his property secure; the other receives money with the probability that it is clear gain. The instrument by which the contract is made is called a policy; the stipulated consideration, a premium. As to what is known as a coupon policy, i.e., a coupon cut out of a diary, etc., see General Accident, etc., Assce. Corpn. v. Robertson, 1909 AC 404.Insurable Interest must be possessed by the person taking out a policy; he must be so circumstanced as to have benefit from the existence of the person or thing insured, and some preju...
Giving notice in writing
Giving notice in writing, Chapter XVII of the Act, containing ss. 138 to 142, was inserted in the Act as per Banking Public Financial Institution and Negotiable Instruments Laws (Amendment) Act, 1968. When the legislature contemplated that notice in writing should be given to the drawer of the cheque, the legislature must be presumed to have been aware of the modern devices and equipment already in vogue and also in store for future. If the Court were to interpret the words 'giving notice in writing' in the s. as restricted to the customary mode of sending notice through postal service or even by personal delivery, the interpretative process would fail to cope up with the change of time. If the notice envisaged in clause (b) of the proviso to s. 138 was transmitted by Fax it would be compliance with the legal requirement, SIL Import v. Exim Aides Silk Exporters, (1991) 4 SCC 567: AIR 1999 SC 1609 (1612, 1613). [Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, s. 138, proviso (b)]Giving Notice in writi...
Negligence
Negligence, acting carelessly, a question of law or fact or of mixed fact and law, depending entirely upon the nature of a duty, which the person charged with negligence has failed to comply with or perform in the particular circumstance of each case. A very convenient classification has been formulated corresponding to the degree of negligence entailing liability measured by the degree of care undertaken or required in each case, i.e., (1) ordinary, which is the want of ordinary diligence; (2) slight, the want of great diligence; and (3) gross, the want of slight diligence. A smaller degree of negligence will render a person liable for injury to infants than in the case of adults, see Cooke v. Midland Great Western Railway, 1909 AC 229; and Glasgow Corporation v. Taylor, (1922) 1 AC 44. There is also a peculiar duty to take precaution in the case of dangerous Articles, see Dominion Natural Gas Co. v. Collins, 1909 AC 640. This case should be distinguished from the principle in Fletche...
