Instant tea, the term 'instant tea' gives a meaning that it is a 'tea', which can be prepared/used instantaneously. Merely because the product is known as 'instant tea', it does not cease to be known commercially as 'tea'. Whether tea is consumed as hot beverage or a cold beverage depending upon one's liking and taste, it does not make any difference in deciding whether it is a tea falling within the definition of s. 3(n) of the Act. Preparation of tea and the process of manufacture of 'instant tea' powder cannot take away 'instant tea' out of definition of 'tea' under the Act, CCE v. Tata Tea Ltd., AIR 2002 SC 2046 (2047). [Tea Act, 1953, ss. 3(n) and 25]...

Weights and measures, instruments for reducing the quantity and price of merchandise to a certainty, that there may be the less room for deceit and imposition. See AVOIRDUPOIS; TROY WEIGHT; and METRIC SYSTEM.The adjustment of weights and measures is a prerogative of the Crown, and has from an early date been regulated by statute-the Weights and Measures Act, 1878. The 25th and 26th sections enact that:25. Use or Possession for Use.-Every person who uses or has in his possession for use for trade any weight, measure, scale, balance, steelyard, or weighing machine which is false or unjust, shall be liable to a fine not exceeding 5l., or in the case of a second offence 20l.

Sufficient cause
Sufficient cause, for non-appearance refers to the date on which the absence was made a ground for proceeding ex parte and cannot be stretched to rely upon other circumstances anterior in time, Tea Auction Ltd. v. Grace Hill Tea Industry, AIR 2007 SC 67.Sufficient cause is an expression which is found in various statues. It has been construed liberally in keeping with its ordinary dictionary meaning as adequate or enough. That is, any justifiable reason resulting in vacation has to be understood as sufficient cause. For instance economic difficulty or financial stringency or family reasons may compel a landlord to let out a building in his occupation. So long as it is found to be genuine and bona fide it would amount to vacating a building for sufficient cause, Surinder Singh Sibia v. Vijay Kumar Sood, AIR 1992 SC 1540 (1541): (1992) 1 SCC 70. [H.P. Urban Rent Control Act, 1987, s. 14(3), Proviso 2]The expression 'sufficient cause' cannot be cons-trued too liberally, merely because the...
