Supervision
Supervision, supervise in the ordinary dictional sense 'to supervise' means to direct or over-see the performance or operation of an activity and to over-see it, watch over and direct. It is work under eye and gaze of someone who can immediately direct a corrective and tender advice. In the textual sense 'supervision' of the principal employer or his agent is on work at the places envisaged and the word work can neither be construed so broadly to be the final act of acceptance or rejection work, nor so narrowly so as to be supervision at all times and at each and every step of the work, C.E.S.C. Ltd. v. Subhash Chandra Bose, (1992) 1 SCC 441: AIR 1992 SC 573....

Release
Release [fr. relaxtio, Lat.], a gift, discharge, or renunciation of a right of action (see SURETY CON-SIDERATION); also a Common Law conveyance of a larger estate, or a remainder, or reversion to one already in possession, the operative verb in which is 'release'; hence the name. It operates or inures in five modes:-(a) By passing an estate to one or more already in possession (mitter l'estate), as where a coparcener conveys his estate to his coparcener, or where one of more than two joint tenants conveys his interest to one or more but not all of the others so as to sever that share. It also operates without mitter l'estate where one joint tenant releases his estate to the other, or all the other joint tenants so as not to create a severance. See Halsbury, L. of E., tit. 'Release.' In consequence of the privity between such parties, a fee-simple will pass without any words of limitation. Tenants in common, however, could not thus release to one another, since they had distinct interes...

Habeas corpus ad subjiciendum
Habeas corpus ad subjiciendum (that you have the body to answer). This, the most celebrated prerogative writ in the English law, is a remedy for a person deprived of his liberty. It is addressed to him who detains another in custody, and commands him to produce the body, with the day and cause of his caption and detention, and to do, submit to, and receive whatever the judge or Court shall consider in that behalf. The writ is applied for either by motion to a Court or application to a judge, supported by an affidavit of the facts. (See (English) Crown Office Rules, 1906, rr. 216-230.) If a probable ground be shown that the party is imprisoned without a cause and has a right to be delivered, this writ ought of right to be granted to every man committed or detained in prison or otherwise restrained, though by command of the sovereign, the Privy Council, or any other power. Therefore there is an absolute necessity of express-ing upon every commitment the reason for which it is made, that ...

Lease and release
Lease and release, a mode of conveyance which derived its effect from the Statute of Uses, compounded of a lease for a year at Common Law, or a bargain and sale for a year under the Statute of Uses, and a Common Law Release. This compound conveyance originated thus: The Statute of Enrolments (27 Hen. 8, c. 16) seemed to be confined to cases where an estate of inheritance or freehold, or the use thereof, was to be made or take effect by reason only of a bargain and sale; it was therefore concluded that if a bargain and sale were first made for an estate less than freehold, as for one year, and then the inheritance or freehold were superadded by a separate deed of release, the transaction could not be affected by the statute;and that such release to the bargainee would be valid, without his entry upon the lands, as a consequence of the strong words in the Statute of Uses which converts all vested uses at once into legal estates. The convenience and general applicability of the lease ad r...
