Possession
Possession, correctly understood, means effective physical control or occupation. The word 'possession' is sometimes used inaccurately as synonymous with the right to possess, Gurucharan Singh v. Kamla Singh, (1976) 2 SCC 152.Possession, does not imply mere acts of the user, or of occupation alone, but the occupation must be with the intention of exercising some claim or right in respect of the property occupied. A person who has no claim to the property but succeeds by show of force in acquiring physical control over the same cannot be treated to be in its possession, notwith-standing his physical control over it, Ram Krishna v. Bhagwan Baksh Singh, (1961) All LJ 301.Possession, implies dominion and control and the consciousness in the mind of the person having dominion that he has it and can exercise it, Chhedi Ram v.

Police officer
Police officer, the expression 'police officer' used in s. 523, Criminal Procedure Code, is to be construed strictly. A Customs Officer cannot be regarded as police officer, Assistant Collector of Customs v. Tilak Raj Shiv Dayal, AIR 1969 Del 301 (303). [Cr. P.C., 1898, s. 523]A Customs Officer conducting an inquiry under s. 107 or 108 of the Act is not a Police Officer and the person against whom the inquiry is made is not an accused and the statement made by such a person in that inquiry 'is not a statement made by a person accused of an offence', Percy Rustomji Basta v.

Real representative
Real representative. The name formerly given to a personal representative on whom real estate devolved on the death of any person between the 31st December, 1897, and the 1st January, 1926, under the provisions of the (English) Land Transfer Act, 1897.Prior to the commencement on the 1st of January, 1898, of the (English) Land Transfer Act, 1897 [see (English) TRANSFER OF LAND ACTS], the real estate of a deceased person vested in his heir, heiresses, or devisees, and his personal estate in his executors or administrators.

Ruler
Ruler, art. 366(22) defines a 'Ruler' in relation to an Indian State as meaning the Prince, Chief, or other person by whom any such covenant or agreement as is referred to in clause (1) of Art. 291 was entered into and who for the time being is recognised by the President as the Ruler of the State, and includes any person who for the time being is recognised by the President as the successor of such Ruler. There is no substance in the contention that the impugned Act is void because the definition of the word 'ruler' is inconsistent with Article 366(22) of the Constitution. There is no doubt that the definition of the word 'Ruler' prescribed by s. 2(h) of Act is wider than that prescribed by Art. 366(22). The definitions prescribed by Article 366 are intended for the purpose of interpreting the articles in the Constitution itself, unless the context otherwise requires. The whole object of defining the word 'ruler' in the Act is to specify and described the lands in respect of which the...
Relation
Relation, where two different times or other things are accounted as one, and by some act done the thing subsequent is said to take effect 'by relation' from the time preceding.
