Terrorism, as ordinarily understood, means the act of terrorising, Muralidhar Sarangi v. New India Assurance Co. Ltd., (2000) 3 SCC 466.It may be possible to describe 'terrorism' as use of violence when its most important result is not merely the physical and mental damage of the victim but the prolonged psychological effect it produces or has the potential of producing on the society as a whole. There may be death, injury, or destruction of property or even deprivation of individual liberty in the process but the extent and reach of the intended terrorist activity travels beyond the effect of an ordinary crime capable of being punished under the ordinary penal law of the land and its main objective is to overawe the Government to disturb harmony of the society or 'terrorise' people and the society and not only those directly assaulted, with a view to disturb even tempo, peace and tranquillity of the society an create a sense of fear and insecurity.

Lease and licence
Lease and licence, if an interest in immovable property, entitling the transferor to enjoyment, is created, it is a lease; if permission to use land without right to exclusive possession is alone granted, a license is the legal result, Qudrat Ullah v. Municipal Board, Bareilly, AIR 1974 SC 396 (398): (1974) 1 SCC 202. (Transfer of Property Act, s. 105; Easements Act, s. 52)The difference between a 'lease' and 'licence' is to be determined by finding out the real intention of the parties as decipherable from a complete reading of the document, if any, executed between the parties and the surrounding circumstances. Only a right to use the property in a particular way or under certain terms given to the occupant while the owner retains the control or possession over the premises results in a licence being created; for the owner retains legal possession while all that the licensee gets is a permission to use the premises for a particular purpose or in a particular manner and but for the pe...

Springing use
Springing use, a form of use in the nature of an executory interest directing property inland to vest at a future period which does not coincide with the termination of a legal estate at common law, for instance. In conveyances before 1926, upon a grant by X. To B. to the use of A. (an infant) in fee attaining twenty-one years of age, the use results to the settlor until, if ever, the period arrives and a good legal estate was conferred upon A. attaining that age by virtue of the statute. The use may be contingent as in that case, or vested, as grant to B. to the use of A. in fee upon the death of C., a stranger. If the grant defeats a previous legal estate and is not capable of being construed as a vested or contingent remainder, it may operate as a shifting use. Springing and shifting uses were resorted to in order to facilitate freedom of grant or conveyance of the legal estate inland by virtue of the Statute of Uses. Grants which would have created springing or shifting uses if the...
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. It may be limited by way of use (which is, in practice, the usual method), as well as by a conveyance deriving its effect from the Common Law.In the same land there may at the sa...

Embryo transfer
Embryo transfer, in this process the ovum is taken from a woman, fertilised in a laboratory with male sperm, and implanted in the womb of a woman to develop in the normal way. A child was born by the use of this process for the first time in 1979; and twins have been born to a 62-year-old woman as a result of this process. As yet cryopreserved semen has not, it is thought, been used for in vitro fertilisation but, there is no medical reason why it should not be so used. It is to be noted that the fertilised embryo need not be implanted in the womb of the woman from whom it was originally taken; the womb of a host mother may be used, this process is called embryo transfer [The Lancet (1979), Vol. 2, 642: (1979) 169 NLJ 627].
