Existence or extent of a legal right
Existence or extent of a legal right, Ordinarily and generally, in any suit including the one under art. 131 the competition is between the legal right of the plaintiff and the defendant. But primarily, and almost invariably, the plaintiff has to establish his legal right in order to succeed in the suit. As against the claim of the plaintiff, if the legal right of the defendant is established, the suit is bound to fail. But on failure of either to establish his own legal right, the suit will still fail because the plaintiff cannot succeed unless he establishes his legal right. This proposition of law is so clear and axiomatic that the expression - 'the existence or extent of a legal right' - used in art. 131 undoubtedly is meant to bring about this result, State of Karnataka v. Union of India, (1977) 4 SCC 608: AIR 1978 SC 68: (1978) 2 SCR 1....

Right
Right [fr. recht, Teut.; rectus, Lat. The application of the same word to denote a staight line and moral rectitude of conduct, has obtained in every language I know, Dugald teward], in its primitive sense, that which the law directs; in popular acceptation, that which is so directed for the protection and advantage of an individual is said to be his right, 1 Stark. Evid. 1, n. (b). It has been described as a liberty of doing or possessing something consistently with law, or more strictly, the liberty of the doing or possessing something for the infringement of which there is a legal sanction. It is often confused in the popular mind with licence of the doing of something which his not prohibited by law, however damaging the act may be to individuals or the community. See MALUM IN SE.A 'right' is a legally protected interest, Mithilesh Kumari v.

Legal right
Legal right, 'legal right' is a difficult concept, legal right in its strict sense is one which is an assertable claim, enforceable before Courts and administrative agencies; in its wider sense, a legal right has to be understood as any advantage or benefit conferred upon a person by a rule of law; there are legal rights which are not enforceable, though recognized by the law; there are rights recognised by the International Court, granted by international law; but not enforceable; a legal right is a capacity of asserting a secured interest rather than a claim that could be asserted in the Courts, Daniel Hailey Walcott v. State, AIR 1968 Mad 349 (355). (Penal Code, 1860, s. 30)It includes not only rights conferred by statute but also those which may be claimed independently of any statute, Anandrao Laxmanrao Mandloi v. Board of Revenue, AIR 1965 MP 237 (247) (FB).A legal right may be defined as an advantage or benefit conferred upon a person by a rule of law. Immunity in short is no li...
Right and legal right
Right and legal right, 'right' is an interest recog-nised and protected by moral or legal rules. It is an interest the violation of which would be a legal wrong. Respect for such interest would be a legal duty. That is how Salmond has defined the 'Right'. In order, therefore, that an interest becomes the subject of a legal right, it has to have not merely legal protection but also legal recognition. The elements of a 'Legal Right' are that the 'right' is vested in a person and is available against a person who is under a corresponding obligation and duty to respect that right and has to act or forbear from acting in a manner so as to prevent the violation of the right. If, therefore, there is a legal right vested in a person, the latter can seek its protection against a person who is bound by a corresponding duty not to violate that right, Mr. X v. Hospital Z, AIR 1999 SC 495 (499): (1998) 8 SCC 296...
Right to life
Right to life, the 'right to life' includes the right to livelihood. The sweep of the right of life conferred by Article 21 is wide and far reaching. It does not mean merely that life cannot be extinguished or taken away as, for example, by the imposition and execution of the death sentence, except according to procedure established by law. That is but one aspect of the right of life. An equally important facet of that right is the right to livelihood because, no person can live without the means of living, that is, the means of livelihood. If the right to livelihood is not treated as a part of the constitutional right to life, the easiest way of depriving a person of his right to life would be to deprive him of his means of livelihood to the point of abrogation. Such deprivation would not only denude the life of its effective content and meaningfulness but it would make life impossible to live. And yet, such deprivation would not have to be in accordance with the procedure established...

Occupancy right
Occupancy right, occupancy rights are creatures of statutes, or to be more precise the creatures of custom adopted by statute, which by defining the nature of the evidence, which a person claiming such rights is required to adduce, have extended such rights to a larger class of ryots. They are creatures of custom or of statute only in the sense that acquisition of such rights by ryots does not depend upon the bounty or gift of the landlord, but they can be acquired against his will. This does not imply that the landlord cannot by grant confer on his tenant, rights exactly similar to rights of occupancy. He can in his grant define rights which he is granting to his tenant, by mentioning in detail in the different clauses of the Patta the exact incidents of the rights he is granting. If he does so, the ryot or tenant would get these rights, Jogendra Narayan Dhar v. Askarulla, AIR 1937 Cal 27: 169 IC 700....
