Home Dictionary Name: rank precedenceRank - Precedence
Rank - Precedence, the word 'rank' in common parlance, as also in English election refers to a position, especially an official one, within a social organisa-tion, of high social order or other standing status. Likewise the word 'precedence' denotes the ceremonial order or priority to be observed on formal occasions, or a right to preferential treatment. In the same strain the word 'primacy' denotes the state of being first in rank or being in formal state i.e., the most important state. Thus it would be seen that not only is the word 'primacy' inextricably linked up with the words 'rank' and 'precedence' but conceptually they all are of the same family and breed, block and substance, Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association v. Union of India, (1993) 4 SCC 441: AIR 1994 SC 268 (445)....
