Glorification in any manner

Glorification in any manner, the expression 'the glorification in any manner,' carries a wider con-notation than the expression 'the glorification of Sati' as employed in s. 5. In case of prosecution under s. 6(2) r/w s. 6(3), what would be punishable is such defiance or contravention of the order of the Collector and District Magistrate, as has the effect of the glorification in any manner of the com-mission of Sati. In distinction therewith, it is the actual doing of an act for the glorification of Sati which is made punishable under s. 5, State of Rajasthan v. Hat Singh, AIR 2003 SC 791 (795): (2003) 2 SCC 152. [Rajasthan Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 ss. 5 and 6(1) r/w s. 6(3)]...

Temple

Temple, is as 'an edifice or place regarded primarily as the dwelling place or 'house' of a deity; hence an edifice devoted to divine worship. Historically, the word is applied to sacred buildings of Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc., but now to those of Hindu-ism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, etc.' The essence of the matter is the existence of a place of public religious worship. In the case of a temple, it becomes a place of public religious worship when the idol is installed and consecrated and the pranaprathishta or vivification ceremony is performed. 'Until then, it is elementary knowledge that the image does not become an object of worship. The deity does not begin to reside in the Idol (the visible image) until the consecration or the appropriate ceremony is completed, T.V.D. Naidu v. Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (Administration) Department, Madras, AIR 1989 Mad 60. (See also New English Dictionary, Vol. IX, Part II)Means a place, by whatev...

Assets

Assets [fr. assetz, Nor.-Fr., i.e., satis, Lat.; assez, Fr., sufficient; in Old English it was commonly written asseth], the property of a deceased person, which is chargeable with, and applicable to the payment of, his debts and legacies; the property of any person, with reference to bankruptcy, available for division amongst his creditors; the whole property of a person, without any such reference. For purposes of the administration of the estate of a deceased person assets were, before 1925, divided into two classes, legal and equitable. Legal assets comprised all property to which the personal representative became entitled virtute officii and for which he would have been answerable in an action at common law brought against him by a creditor; they were administered in accordance with certain rules of priority. Equitable assets, on the other hand were those which would only be made available for the payment of debts through the operation of a decree or order of a Court of Equity; t...

Revendication

Revendication. Upon the sale of goods on credit, by the law of some commercial countries, a right is reserved to the vendor to retake them, or he has a lien upon them for the price, if unpaid: and in other countries he possesses a right of stoppage in transitu (q.v.) only in cases of insolvency of the vendee. The Roman law did not generally consider the transfer of property to be complete by sale and delivery alone without payment or security given for the price, unless the vendor agreed to give a general credit to the purchaser; but it allowed the vendor to reclaim the goods out of the possession of the purchaser, as being still his own property. Quod vendidi (say the Pandects), nobis aliter fit accipienlis, quam si aut pretium nobis solutum sit, aut satis to non datum, vel etiam fidem habuerimus emptori sine ulla satisfactione. The present code of France gives a privilege or right of revendication against the purchaser for the price of goods sold, so long as they remain in possession...
