Home Dictionary Name: save as otherwise provided by or under the actSave as otherwise provided by or under the Act
Save as otherwise provided by or under the Act, the expression 'save as otherwise provided by or under the Act' in s. 44(3) of Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 should be construed in a harmonious manner so that sub-clause (b) is not reduced to a nullity. The expression 'save as otherwise provided by or under the Act' would in the context mean, 'save as otherwise expressly barred by or under the Act'. If there is a provision which expressly debars the exercise of the power under sub-clause (b) in any case then only the State Transport Authority will not be able to exercise the powers and discharge the functions given in sub-clause (b). Otherwise there would be no such bar, State of Rajasthan v. Noor Mohammad, AIR 1973 SC 2729 (2732): (1972) 2 SCC 454: (1973) 1 SCR 841. [Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, s. 44(3)(b)]...

Alien
Alien [fr. alienigena, alibi natus, Lat.], a person not born within His Majesty's dominions and allegiance (q.v.). See definitions in the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Acts, 1914 and 1933, infra. At common law aliens were subject to very many disqualifications, the nature of which is shown by the (English) Act of 1844, 7 & 8 Vict. c. 66, which greatly relaxed the law in their favour. It provided, inter alia, that every person born of a British mother should be capable of holding real or personal estate; that alien friends might hold every species of personal property except chattels real; that subjects of a friendly power might hold lands, etc., for the purposes of residence or business for a term not exceeding twenty-one years; and it also provided for aliens becoming naturalized.Alien, (UK) is a person who is neither a Common-wealth citizen nor a British protected person nor a citizen of the Republic of Ireland. Aliens therefore include both persons having the nationality ...
Costs
Costs, expenses incurred in litigation or professional transactions, consisting of money paid for stamps, etc., to the officers of the Court, or to the counsel and solicitors, for their fees, etc.Costs in actions are either between solicitor and client, being what are payable in every case to the solicitor by his client, whether he ultimately succeed or not; or between party and party, being those only which are allowed in some particular cases to the party succeeding against his adversary, and these are either interlocutory, given on various motions and proceedings in the course of the suit or action, or final, allowed when the matter is determined.Neither party was entitled to costs at Common Law, but the Statute of Gloucester (6 Edw. 1, c. 4), gave cots to a successful plaintiff, and 2 & 3 Hen. 8, c. 6, and 4 Jac. 1, c. 3, to a victorious defendant; see Garnett v. Bradley, (1878) 3 App Cas 944.In proceedings between the Crown and a subject the general rule is that the Crown neither ...
Tail
Tail [fr. tailler, Fr., to prune]. An estate-tail was formerly a freehold of inheritance and is now an equitable interest which may be created after 1925 in respect of personalty as well as realty by way of trust and which (if not barred or disposed of by will after 1925) will devolve inequity on the person who would have taken realty as heir of the body or as tenant by the curtesy if the Law of Property Act, 1925, had not been passed [s. 130 (4) (ibid.)]The limitation of an estate so that it can be inherited only by the fee owner's issue or class of issue, Black's Law dictionary 7th Edn., p. 1466.An estate-tail in land now constitutes a settlement. [(English) Settled Land Act, 1925, s. 1]With this and other statutory modifications under the (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, the rules relating to this form of estate are still applicable (a) in the investigation of all titles to land in existence on the 31st December, 1925; (b) in the construction of equitable interests into which th...
Settled land
Settled land. For the purposes of the (English) Settled Land Acts, 1882-1890, 'settled land' meant land, and any estate and interest therein, which was the subject of a settlement; and 'settlement' meant any instrument, or any number of instruments, under which any land, or any estate or interest in land, 'stands for the time being limited to or in trust for any persons by way of succession' (Settled Land Act, 1882, s. 2) (see infra for the statutory definitions in the Settled Land Act, 1925, which has repealed the S.L. Acts, 1882-1890). Where the settlement consists of more instruments than one it is commonly called a 'compound settlement,' though this term is not defined in the Acts themselves; as to compound settlements, see Re Du Cane & Nettlefold, (1898) 2 Ch 96; Re Munday & Roper, (1899) 1Ch 275; Re Lord Wimborne & Browne (1904) 1 Ch 537; Wolstenholme & Cherry, Conveyancing, etc., Acts.Prior to 1856 settled estates could not be sold or leased except under the authority of some po...
Copyright
Copyright, an incorporeal right, being the exclusive privilege of printing, reprinting, selling, and publishing is own original work which the statute law first gave to an author in 1709, by 8 Anne, c. 19, for the term of fourteen years. Whether the right exited at Common Law is a long-vexed and still undetermined question. See Jeffries v. Boosey, (1854) 4 HLC 815. There is no copyright in an illegal or immoral publication, Southey v. Sherwood, (1817) 2 Mer 435; Stockdale v. Onwhyn, (1826) 5 B&C 173.The law of copyright now depends mainly on the (English) Copyright Act,1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5, c. 46) (July 1, 1912), and 'no person shall be entitled to copyright or any similar right in any literary dramatic, musical, or artistic work, whether published or unpublished, otherwise than under and in accordance with the provisions of this Act, or of any other statutory enactment for the time being in force' (s. 31).By sub-s. 2 of s. 1 of this Act 'copyright' is thus defined:--For the purposes of ...
Libraries (Public)
Libraries (Public). The (English) Public Libraries Acts, 1855-1890, authorised the establishment, at the expense of the ratepayers, of free public libraries in municipal boroughs, Improvement Act districts, and parishes, in England, by the vote of a majority of two-thirds of the inhabitants, taking by voting papers, 'and not otherwise,' (Act of 1890, s. 2). These Acts were consolidated by the Public Libraries Act, 1892 (55 7 56 Vict. c. 53), amended in the following year by 56 & 57 Vict. c.11, which allowed the Act to be adopted in urban districts by the urban authorities instead of by direct popular vote. In rural parishes the parish councils had this power transferred to them by the Local Government Act, 1894. Land may be taken compulsorily. Libraries under the Act are absolutely free, save that a charge may be made to non-residents for the use of a lending library. The Act of 1892 provided that the library rate was not to exceed one penny in the pound in any financial year, and migh...
