To enforce any right or supposed right
To enforce any right or supposed right, in order to attract the provisions of s. 149 the prosecution must establish that there was an unlawful assembly and that the crime was committed in prosecution of the common object of the assembly. The assertion of a right of private defence within the limits prescribed by law cannot fall within the expression 'to enforce any right or supposed right' in the fourth clause of s. 141. The assembly could not be designated as an unlawful assembly if its object was to defend property by the use of force within the limits prescribed by law, State of Bihar v. Nathu Pandey, AIR 1970 SC 27: (1969) 2 SCC 207: (1970) 1 SCR 358....
Right to receive
Right to receive, the sums secured will accrue, not when the charge is granted, but when the future event occurs. Thus, in the case of a conventional mortgage, the charge is immediately effective but the right to receive the sum secured does not accrue until the legal redemption date has passed. Similarly, there is no inconsistency between having a right to enforce a charge by sale at a time when there is only a deferred right to receive the proceeds. Such a right is sufficient to confer on the creditor the necessary interest enabling him to apply for and obtain an order for sale and such an order, if made, will remove the element of deferral, See English Insolvency Act, 1986 (c 45), s. 313; (English) Limitation Act, 1980, s. 20(1), Gotham v. Doodes, (2007) 1 WLR 86 CA....

Petition de droit (Petition of Right UK)
Petition de droit (Petition of Right UK), one of the Common Law methods of obtaining possession or restitution from the Crown of either real or personal property, or compensation in damages for breach of contract, the Crown not being liable to an ordinary action at the suit of a subject. It is said to owe its origin of Edward I.By the (UK) Petition of Right Act, 1860 (23 & 24 Vict. c. 34) (commonly called Bovill's Act), the procedure on a petition of right is assimilated as far as practic-able to the course of an ordinary action. The fiat of the sovereign 'that right be done' is, however, a necessary preliminary step; this is obtained by leaving the petition with the Home Secretary. A judgment that the suppliant is entitled to the whole or some portion of the relief sought by his petition, or to such other relief as the Court may think right, has the same effect as a judgment of amoveas manus. Costs are made payable both to and by the Crown, and nothing in the Act is to prevent any sup...

Public right
Public right. A right enjoyed by the public as distinguished from private or personal rights attached to the personalty of an individual. Public rights exist at Common Law, such as the right of the public to pass along a highway, or they may be conferred by statute in either case if the statute does not provide a remedy; the remedy for infringement is by indictment or information filed by the Attorney-General either directly or upon the relation of an individual (relator) who becomes liable for the costs, but if the individual has suffered special damage or some private right has been interfered with specially, the Attorney-General is not an essential party to the action though he is often joined as a party.
