Related person
Related person, on a proper interpretation of the definition of 'related person' in sub-s. (4)(c) of s. 4, the words 'a relative and a distributor of the assessee' do not refer to any distributor but they are limited only to a distributor who is a relative of the assessee within the meaning of the Companies Act, 1956. So read, the definition of 'related person' is not unduly wide and does not suffer from any constitutional infirmity on ground of violation of Articles 14 and 19. It is within the legislative competence of Parliament, Union of India v. Bombay Tyre International Ltd., AIR 1984 SC 420: (1984) 1 SCC 467: (1984) 1 SCR 347.The definition of 'related person' shows that when an assessee is so closely associated with another person, directly or indirectly, in the business, then it could be said that they are 'related persons'. The holding company and subsidiary company have got special significance. There must be mutuality of interest between the two persons, Flash Laboratories L...
Relating to
Relating to, words 'relating to' words of com-prehensiveness which might both have a direct as well as an indirect significance, depending on the context. They are not words of restrictive context, State of Wakf Board v. Abdul Azeez Sahib, AIR 1968 Mad 79.The words 'relating to' are of wide import and can take in their sweep any suit in which the grievance is made that the defendant is threatening to illegally recover possession from the plaintiff-licensee. Suits for protecting such possession of immovable property against the alleged illegal attempts on the part of the dependant to forcibly recover such possession from the plaintiff, can clearly get covered by the wide sweep of the words 'relating to recovery of possession' as employed by s. 41(1), Manusukhlal Dhanraj Jain v. Eknath Vithal Ogale, AIR 1995 SC 1102 (1105): (1995) 2 SCC 665. [Presidency Small Cause Courts Act (15 of 1882), s. 41(1)]...
Relating
Relating, the word 'relating' in Article 363, 'to bring into relation' or 'establish relation between'. In other words the provision of the Constitution in question must be linked with the merger Agree-ments or Covenants directly and immediately. It must have no independent existence. That is not the position under Article 366(22). It is an indepen-dent provision. It has nothing to do with the Agreements and Covenants, H.H. Maharajadhiraja Madhav Rao Jivaji Rao Scindia Bahadur of Gwalior v. Union of India, AIR 1971 SC 530 (631): (1971) 1 SCC 85: (1971) 3 SCR 9....
Law relating to State monopoly
Law relating to State monopoly, 'a law relating to' a State monopoly cannot in the context, include all the provisions contained in the said law whether they have direct relation with the creation of the monopoly or not.

[Constitution of India, Article, 19(6)]...
Law relating to
Law relating to, contemplates that the relation must be real, reasonable and prominent and not far-fetched or problematical, Ram Shankar Tewari v. State, 1954 All WR (HC) 334: 1954 Cr LJ 1212: 1954 All 562.Law relating to, the effect of the amendment made in Art. 19(6) of the Constitution of India is to protect the law relating to the creation of monopoly and that means that it is only the provisions of the law which are integrally and essentially connected with the creation of the monopoly that are protected. The rest of the provisions which may be incidental do not fall under the latter part of Art. 19(6) and would inevitably have to satisfy the test of the first part of Art. 19(6), Virajlal Manilal and Co. v. State of Madhya Pradesh, AIR 1970 SC 129: (1969) 2 SCC 248: (1979) 1 SCR 400. [Constitution of India, Art. 19(6)]....
