Final report, charge-sheet, the expressions 'charge-sheet' or 'final-report' are not used in the Code, but it is understood in Police Manuals of several States containing the rules and regulations to be a report by the police filed under s. 170 of the code, described as a 'charge-sheet'.

Goods
Goods, Computer programs are the product of an intellectual process, but once implanted in a medium they are widely distributed to computer owners. An analogy can be drawn to a compact-disc recording of an orchestral rendition. The music is produced by the artistry of musicians and in itself is not a 'good', but when transferred to a laser-readable disc it becomes a readily merchant-able commodity. Similarly, when a professor deliv-ers a lecture, it is not a good, but, when transcribed as a book, it becomes a good. That a computer program may be copyrightable as intellectual property does not alter the fact that once in the form of a floppy disc or other medium, the program is tangible, moveable and available in the marketplace. The fact that some programs may be tailored for specific purposes need not alter their status as 'goods' because the Code definition includes 'specially manufactured goods', Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corpn., 925 F. 2d 670 3dCir 1991. Associated Cement Compa...

Dastane v. Shrikant S. Shivde, (2001) 6 SCC 135.The word 'misconduct' is not capable of precise definition, but at the same time though incapable of precise definition, the word 'misconduct' on reflection receives its connotation from the context, the delinquency in performance and its effect on the discipline and the nature of duty. The act complained of must bear a forbidden quality or...
