Remainder
Remainder [fr. remanentia, Lat.], that expectant portion, remnant, or residue of interest which, on the creation of a particular estate, is at the same time limited over to another, who is to enjoy it after the determination of such particular estate.After 1925 remainders can operate only as equitable interests, and in that manner they can be created in respect of personality as well as realty. The follow-ing explanation of legal remainders has been retained as relating to titles to land existing before 1926, and see (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 4, as to the construction of equitable interests.A remainder may be limited in all freehold estates, but not strictly and technically in chattels real and personal, although these may be limited over after a previous limitation or a partial interest in them.

Coke
Coke, the meaning of the word 'coke' given in Webster's New International Dictionary, Vol. I which is as follows: 'The infusible, cellular, coherent residue obtained when coal is subjected to destructive distillation. It consists mainly of carbon, is hard, porous, and grey, and has a submetallic lustre. Any similar substance left as a residue when petroleum, shale oil, etc. are distilled to dryness.' When the Parliament used the word 'coke' in s. 14(i) of the Central Act it has no intention to give it a meaning other than the ordinary dictionary meaning which would cover petroleum coke. At any rate, the language employed is so wide viz., 'Coke in all its forms' that petroleum coke which is a form of coke cannot possibly be excluded merely by reference to the word 'Coal', India Carbon Limited v. Superintendent of Taxes, (1972) 1 SCR 316: (1971) 3 SCC 612: AIR 1972 SC 154. [Central Sales Tax Act (74 of 1956), s. 14(i)]...
