[Charitable Endow-ments Act, 1890 (6 of 1890), s. 2]Means relief of the poor, education, medical relief and the advancement of any other object of general public utility without the additive words 'not involving the carrying on of any activity for profit', Additional Commissioner of Income Tax v. Surat Art Silk Cloth Manufacturers Association, Surat, (1980) 2 SCR 77: (1980) 2 SCC 31: AIR 1980 SC 387.The definition of 'charitable purposes' in the West Bengal Estates Acquisition Act, 1953 follows, though not quite, the well-known definition of charity given by Lord Macnaghten in Commissioners for Special Purposes of Income Tax v.

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...
Premises let for residential purposes
Premises let for residential purposes, the premises let for residential purposes should be construed liberally and not technically or narrowly; meaning thereby, where the premises are solely let for residential purposes they are undoubtedly covered by s. 14(1) (e) but even when the premises are let out for composite or mixed purposes if the predominant or main purpose of letting is for residential purposes, the same would be included within the expression 'the premises let for residential purposes.' An incidental, a secondary or unauthorized user of the premises for purposes other than residence would not take the premises out of the meaning of the expression 'the premises let for residential purposes', Precision Steel and Engineering Works v. Prem Deva etc., AIR 2003 SC 650 (654): (2003) 2 SCC 236. [Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, s. 14(1)(e) and Explanation 1]...
Immediate purpose
Immediate purpose, 'immediate purpose', in the context in which the expression appears, relates to directness rather than speed, although absence of the latter negatives the former. It denotes connection and timely action, but not instant action; yet delayed action is a sign of remoteness of purpose. The expression must be understood as a directly connected and timely purpose, and not a secondly or remote or premature purpose. Significantly, the clause does not stay 'for the purpose of immediately demolishing', which word might have denoted instant demolition. What s. 14(1)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 says is 'immediate purpose of demolishing'. The legislative intent is that the purpose should be immediate or direct and not mediate or remote or indirect or secondary. P. Orr and Sons (P) Ltd. v, Associated Publishers (Madras) Ltd., (1991) 1 SCC 301. [T.N. Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, s. 14 (1) (b)]...

For the purposes of this Act
For the purposes of this Act, The expression 'for the purposes of this Act' has been designedly used in the s. which cannot be ignored but must be given cogent meaning and on a plain reading of the s. which uses such expression it is clear that any order passed by the Settlement Officer either granting or refusing to grant a ryotwari patta to a ryot under S. 11 of the Tamil Nadu Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948 must be regarded as having been passed to achieve the purposes of the Act, namely, revenue purposes, that is to say for fastening the liability on him to pay the assessment or other dues and to facilitate the recovery of such revenue from him by the Government; and therefore any decision impliedly rendered on the aspect of nature or character of the land on that occasion will have to be regarded as incidental to and merely for the purpose of passing the order of granting or refusing to grant the patta and for no other purpose, State of Tamil Nadu v.
