Substantial question of law
Substantial question of law, the proper test for determining whether a question of law raised in the case is substantial would, in our opinion, be whether it is of general public importance or whether it directly and, substantially affects the rights of the parties and if so whether it is either an open question in the sense that it is not finally, settled by this court or by the Privy Council or by the Federal Court or is not free from difficulty or calls for discussion of alternative views. If the question is settled by the highest court or the general principles to be applied in determining the question are well-settled and there is a mere question of applying those principles or that the plea raised is palpably absurd the question would not be a substantial question of law, Chunilal V.

Used substantially
Used substantially, 'used substantially' for the pur-pose of the mine or a number of mines under the same management, in relation to workshops. The use of the word 'and' makes both the conditions conjunctive. Sub-clause (xi) uses the words 'if solely used' for the location of the management, sale of liaison offices, or for the residence of officers and staff, of the mine, in relation to lands and buildings. The difference in language between the two expressions 'used substantially' and 'solely used' is obvious. It is therefore, possible to contend that lands and buildings appurtenant to a coal mine, if not exclusively used for purposes of the colliery business, would not come within the definition of mine in s. 2(h), i.e., it would depend upon the nature of user, and that the crucial date is the date of vesting, New Satgram Engineering Works v. Union of India, AIR 1981 SC 124: (1980) 4 SCC 570: (1981) 1 SCR 406....
Portion
Portion, property settled or provided in favour of children or their issue. In settlements by deed or will of personal property, portions were and are usually effected by direct trusts in favour of the children or issue, either immediately or after the death of the parent or parents. In regard to realty the usual plan was to settle a long term of years from or out of the real estate upon trust to sell or mortgage the term in order to provide the portions when they became payable. See SATISFIED TERM; ATTENDANT TERM. This term preceded the settlement of the estate in fee or in tail according to the intention of the settlor. This method is still available although the term is not a legal estate and will not affect a purchaser even with notice who takes his title from estate owners who are entitled to sell the estate unaffected by the term, but the trustees entitled to the term may require to have the term secured by a legal mortgage. See Law of Property Act, s. 3 (1) and Settled Land Act,...
