Home Dictionary Name: residenceResidence
Residence, is a concept that may also be transitory. Even when qualified by the word 'ordinarily' the word 'resident' would not result in construction having the effect of a particular place for dwelling always or on permanent uninterrupted basis. Thus understood, even the requirement of a person being 'ordinarily resident' at a particular place is incapable of ensuring nexus between him and the place in question, Kuldip Nayar v. Union of India, AIR 2006 SC 3127.Residence, is flexible and must be construed accord-ing to the object and intent of the particular legislation where it may be found. It must be something more than occupation during occasional usual visits within the local limits of the court, more specially where there is residence outside those limits marked with a considerable measure of continuance, Paster J.S. Singh v. Jyotsana Singh, AIR 1982 MP 122 [See Divorce Act, 1869, s. 3(3)]Residence, is generally understood as referring to a person in connection with the place wh...
Place of residence
Place of residence, the expression 'place of resi-dence' connotes a place where a person has his dwelling house, which need not necessarily be permanent or exclusive. A person may have more places of residence than one at a given time. A place occupied by a person with the intention of setting up a fixed, though not permanent, abode, would be deemed to be a place of residence. Sojourn for a purely temporary purpose will not constitute residence, and the place of sojourn will not be deemed a place of residence within the meaning of the Act: but where a person possesses establishment at more places than oneand spends time more or less considerable in all those places, as exigencies of his occupation, vocation or fancy demand, he would be deemed to have a place of residence at each of those places. The words of the definition in s. 2(10) read with s. 2(6) are sufficiently wide to include the case of a person who had a place of residence in India as well as a place of residence in an area ...

Habitual Residence
Habitual Residence, is an expression used in a variety of statutes for a variety of purposes and could have a different meaning according to the statutory content; furthermore, a person might be habitually resident in more than one place at a time, or might have no habitual residence at all. It is common ground that habitual residence and ordinary residence are interchangeable concepts. Domicile, on the other hand, is a concept of the common law (although the same word is some-times used in civilian systems to denote something more like habitual residence, Mark v. Mark, (2003) 3 WLR 111 UKHL; Ikimi v. Ikimi, (2002) Fam 72 [See (English) Domicile and Matrimonial Proceedings Act, 1973, s. 5(2)], Collins v.

Resident in India
Resident in India, the intention of the Legislature was plainly to prohibit all transactions in foreign exchange by persons who are residents of India whether such transactions take place during their actual residence in India or during their sojourn in foreign parts. To hold that the prohibition under the Act does not extend to acts done outside India by residents of India must inevitably lead to large-scale evasion of the Act resulting in its object being defeated. A construction which leads to such a result must be avoided. The expression 'resident in India' is clearly used in the sense 'resident of India', Shanti Prasad Jain v. Director of Enforcement, AIR 1962 SC 1764 (1778): (1963) 2 SCR 297. [Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, (7 of 1947), s. 4(1)]...
