Regularly

Regularly, the word 'regularly' in clause (b) of s. 12(3) has a significance of its own. It enjoins a payment or tender characterised by reasonable punctuality, that is to say, one made at regular times or intervals. The regularity contemplated may not be a punctuality, of clock-like precision and exactitude, but it must reasonably conform with substantial proximity to the sequence of times or intervals at which the rent falls due, Mranalini B. Shah v. Bapalal Mohanlal Shah, AIR 1980 SC 954 (956): (1980) 4 SCC 251. [Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Contral Act, 1947, s. 12(3)(b)](ii) The word 'regularly' to mean payment of rent in a uniform and consistent manner without any breach or default. The legislature never contemplated that a single default could be condoned. This inference is fortified by the words 'without sufficient cause'. A correct interpretation of the plain language and the words and phrases used in cl. (ii) of s. 9(1) of the Act seems that the word 'regular' ...

Morganatic marriage

Morganatic marriage. The lawful and inseparable conjunction of a man of noble or illustrious birth with a woman of inferior station, upon condition that neither the wife nor her children shall partake of the titles, arms, or dignity of the husband, or succeed to his inheritance, but be contented with a certain allowed rank assigned to them by the morganatic contract. But since these restrictions relate only to the rank of the parties and succession to property, without affecting the nature of a matrimonial engagement, it must be considered as a just marriage. The marriage ceremony was regularly performed; the union was indissoluble; the children legitimate. This connection was very usual in Europe; but there is not proof that the concubines of Charlemagne and the early kings of France were wives of this description, nor is there occasion to resort to that supposition in defence of their conduct, since the state of concubinage itself was little inferior to this in the public estimation;...


Regularly kept books of account

Regularly kept books of account, to ascertain whether a book of account has been regularly kept the nature of occupation is an eminent factor for weighment. The test of regularity of keeping accounts by a shopkeeper who has daily transactions cannot be the same as that of a broker in real estates. Not only their systems of maintaining books of account will differ but also the yardstick of contemporaneity in making entries therein. It is not possible to accept the view that an entry must necessarily be made in the book of account at or about the time the related transaction takes place so as to enable the book to pass the test of 'regularly kept'. The rule fixes no precise time and each case must depend upon its own circumstances, CBI v. V.C. Shukla, AIR 1998 SC 1406: (1998) 3 SCC 410....

Specific performance

Specific performance. Equity, in obedience to the cardinal rule of natural justice that a person should perform his agreement enforces, pursuant to a regulated and judicial discretion, the actual accomplishment of a thing stipulated for, on the ground that what is lawfully agreed to be done ought to be done, and that damages at law for breach of the contract are not a sufficient com-pensation. The Common Law has not recognized this principle; it has only given damages to a suffering party for the non-performance of an executory agreement. The (English) C.L.P. Act, 1854, however, imparted to the Common Law writ of mandamus a little more efficacy by provisions since superseded by s. 24 of the Judicature Act, 1873, now by Judicature Act, 1925, s. 36, and the (English) Mercantile Law Amendment Act, 1856, introduced a procedure for enforcing the specific delivery of goods sold, specially superseded by s. 52 of the (English) Sale of Goods Act, 1893.An award of damages may be combined with a ...
