Tax, interest and penalty
Tax, interest and penalty, tax, interest and penalty are three different concepts. Tax becomes payable by an assessee by virtue of the charging provision in a taxing statute. Penalty ordinarily becomes payable when it is found that an assessee has wilfully violated any of the provisions of the taxing statute. Interest is ordinarily claimed from an assessee who has withheld payment of any tax payable by him and it is always calculated at the prescribed rate on the basis of the actual amount of tax withheld and the extent of delay in paying it. It may not be wrong to say that such interest is compensatory in character and not penal, Associated Cement Company Limited v. Commercial Tax Officer, AIR 1981 SC 1887: (1981) 4 SCC 578: (1982) 1 SCR 563....

Socially and educationally backward classes
Socially and educationally backward classes, the expression 'socially and educationally backward classes' in Article 15(4) was explained in Balaji's case, AIR 1963 SC 649 to be comparable to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The reason is that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes illustrated social and educational backwardness. It is difficult to define the expression 'socially and educationally backward classes of citizens'. The traditional unchanging occupations of citizens may contribute to social and educational backwardness. The place of habitation and its environment is also a determining factor in judging the social and educational backwardness, State of Uttar Pradesh v. Pradip Tandon, AIR 1975 SC 563 (567): (1975) 1SCC 267: (1975) 2 SCR 761...

Presbyterians
Presbyterians, a sect of Christians chiefly to be found in Scotland and Ireland (see 34 Vict. c. 24), who do not acknowledge the authority of bishops. In England the term 'Presbyterian' originally designated a distinct body of Protestant Dissenters. The Presbyterian form of worship was established in England during the Commonwealth, and when the Presbyterian ministers who filled the churches were ejected by the Act of Uniformity in 1662 they spread over the country and founded Presbyterian churches in almost every part of it. In process of time, however, many of these Presbyterian congregations gradually changed their views, some becoming Independents, others Baptists, and not a few became Unitarians, see A.-G. v. Bunce, (1868) LR 6 Eq 563....
