Recognition, an acknowledgement.Signifies an admission or an acknowledgement of something existing before. To recognise is to take cognizance of a fact. It implies an overt act on the part of the person taking such cognizance. 'Recognition' is, an acknowledgement by the government of the title of a grantee expressly or by some unequivocal act on its part. Acquiescence in the context of certain surrounding circumstances may amount to recognition, but it must be such as to lead to that inevitable conclusion. Mere inaction de hors such compelling circumstances cannot amount to recognition within the meaning of the section, T.V.V. Narasimhamam v. State of Orissa, AIR 1963 SC 1227 (1232).

Affiliation and recognition
Affiliation and recognition, there is a significant difference between 'affiliation' and 'recognition'.

Just and equitable
Just and equitable, are a recognition of the fact that a limited company is more than a mere legal entity with a personality in law of its own: that there is room in company law for recognition of the fact that behind it, or amongst it, there are individuals, with rights, expectation and obligation inter se which are not necessarily submerged in the company structure. A. Company H.L.(E) (in re:), (1999) 1 WLR 1092.Just and equitable, the principle of 'just and equitable' clause baffles a precise definition. It must rest with the judicial discretion of the court depending upon the facts and circumstances of each case. These are necessarily equitable considerations and may, in a given case, be super imposed on law. Whether it would be so done in a particular case cannot be put in the straitjacket of an inflexible formula, Hind Overseas Private Limited v.

Common Law
Common Law [lex communis, Lat.]. 'The phrase 'common law' is used in two very different senses. It is cometimes contrasted with equity; it then denotes the law which, prior to the Judicature Act, was administered in the three ' superior ' Courts of law at Westminster, as distinct from that administered by the Court of Chancery at Lincoln's Inn. At other times it is used in contradistinction to the statute law, and then denotes the unwritten law, whether legal or equitable in its origin, which does not derive its authority from any express declaration of the will of the Legislature. This unwritten law has the same force and effect as the statute law. It depends for its authority upon the recognition given by our Law Courts to principles, customs, and rules of conduct previously existing among the people. This recognition was formerly enshrined in the memory of legal practitioners and suitors in the Courts; it is now recorded in the voluminous series of our law reports which embody the d...
