Substantial and compelling reasons
Substantial and compelling reasons, the different phraseology used in the judgments of this Court, such as, (i) 'substantial and compelling reasons', (ii) 'good and sufficiently cogent reasons', and (iii) 'strong reasons' are not intended to curtail the undoubted power of an appellate court in an appeal against acquittal to review the entire evidence and to come to its own conclusion; but in doing so it should not only consider every matter on record having a bearing on the questions of fact and the reasons given by the court below in support of its order of acquittal in its arriving at a conclusion on those facts, but should also express those reasons in its judgment, which lead it to hold that the acquittal was not justified, Sanwat Singh v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1961 SC 715 (719): (1961) 3 SCR 120....
Special reason
Special reason, means yet another consequence would be that if any public servant succeeds in protracting the criminal proceedings to the stage of superannuation he can also claim the benefit of special reasons, if the High Court's reasoning is to be accepted. We find the High Court's approach not only erroneous but pernicious, and therefore, impermissible in law. Such a ground cannot by any stretch of imagination be treated as 'special reason', Jagjeevan Prasad v. State of Madhya Pradesh, (2000) 8 SCC 22: 2000 SCC (Cri) 1450....
If for any reason
If for any reason, although the opening words used in s. 12(8) are 'if for any reason' and not 'if the sales tax authority has reason to believe', the difference in phraseology should not make such material difference. A reason cannot exist in vacuum, Sales Tax Officer v. Uttareswari Rice Mills, AIR 1972 SC 2617 (2620): (1973) 3 SCC 171: (1973) 2 SCR 310. [Orissa Sales Tax Act, 1947, s. 12(8)]...

Reason to suspect
Reason to suspect, the expression 'reason to suspect the commission of an offence' would mean the sagacity of rationally inferring the commission of a cognizable offence based on the specific articulate facts mentioned in the First Information Report as well in the Annexures, if any, enclosed and any attending circumstances which may, not amount to proof. In other words, the meaning of the expression 'reason to suspect' has to be governed and dictated by the facts and circumstances of each case and at that stage the question of adequate proof of facts alleged in the first information report does not arise, State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal, AIR 1992 SC 604 (618): 1992 Supp (1) SCC 335. [Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 s. 157(i)]...
Reasonableness of classification
Reasonableness of classification, it is clear that Article 14 does not forbid reasonable classification of persons, objects and transactions by the legislature for the purpose of attaining specific ends. What is necessary in order to pass the test of permissible classification under Article 14 is that the classification must not be 'arbitrary, artificial or evasive' but must be based on some real and substantial distinction bearing a just and reason-able relation to the object sought to be achieved by the legislature, R.K. Garg v. Union of India, AIR 1981 SC 2138: (1981) 4 SCC 676: (1982) 1 SCR 947....
Reasonableness of expectation
Reasonableness of expectation, the concept of 'reasonableness of expectation' of rent which must take the penal law of the State into account. It is not the expectation of a landlord who takes the risk of prosecution and punishment which the violation of the law involves, but the expectation of the landlord who is prudent enough to abide by the law that serves as the standard of reasonableness for purposes of rating, New Delhi Municipal Committee v. M.N. Soi, AIR 1977 SC 302: (1976) 4 SCC 535: (1977) 1 SCR 731....
