Home Dictionary Name: thereafterBut not thereafter
But not thereafter, As far as the language of s. 34 of the 1996 Act is concerned, the crucial words are 'but not thereafter' used in the proviso to sub-s. (3). This phrase would amount to an express exclusion within the meaning of s. 29(2) of the Limitation Act, and would therefore bar the application of s. 5 of that Act. To hold that the court could entertain an application to set aside the award beyond the extended period under the proviso, would render the phrase 'but not thereafter' wholly otiose, Union of India v. Popular Construction, (2001) 8 SCC 470. [Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, s. 34(3)]...
Thereafter
Thereafter, is merely indicative of the sequence of the second obligation to deposit the future rents; it is certainly not suggestive of the fact that if the first obligation for any reason cannot be complied with then the occasion to comply with the second obligation does not arise or that it automatically comes to an end. It would be unthinkable that could be the intention of legislature, Jamnalal v. Radheshyam, (2000) 4 SCC 380.Means after the list is finalized on the completion of revision of valuation and assessment, New Delhi Municipal Committee v. LIC, AIR 1977 SC 2134: 1977 (4) SCC 84.The word thereafter' means 'after the list is finalised and 'duly made' evidently refers to the exercise of the amending power u/s. 67, New Delhi Municipal Committee v. Life Insurance Corporation of India, AIR 1977 SC 2134: (1977) 4 SCC 84: (1978) SCR 279....
Subject to such amendments as may thereafter
Subject to such amendments as may thereafter, the words 'subject to such amendments as may there-after' in s. 66 postulate that a list finalized before January 1 or April 1 is liable to be amended there-after u/s. 67. The building was certainly liable to be included in the assessment list which was finalized on March 31, 1959, but by some mistake it was not so included, Punjab National Bank v. New Delhi Municipal Committee, AIR 1973 SC 674: (1973) 1 SCC 579: (1973) 3 SCR 189....
Separate estate
Separate estate. The Common Law did not allow a married woman to posses any property independently of her husband, but when property was settled to her separate use and benefit, equity treated her, in respect to that property, as a feme sole, or unmarried woman. A wife's separate property might be acquired by a pre-nuptial contract with her husband, or by gift, either from the husband, or from any other person. the (English) Married Women's Property Act, 1882 (see MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY), almost abolished the Common Law distinction between married and unmarried women in respect of property, and the amending (English) Act of 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 63) provided (s. 1) that:-1. Every contract hereafter entered into by a married woman otherwise than as agent,(a) shall be deemed to be a contract entered into by her with respect to and to bind her separate property whether she is or is not in fact possessed of or entitled to any separate property at the time when she enters into such contr...
Notice of dishonour
Notice of dishonour. The 49th section of the Bills of Exchange Act,1882, contains fifteen rules as to notice of dishonour, of which the more important are these:-The notice must be given by or on behalf of the holder or of an indorser himself liable (sub-s. 1).The notice may be given in writing or by personal communication. If written it need not be signed, and an insufficient written notice may be supplemented by a verbal communication (sub-ss. 5, 7).The notice may (sub-s. 12) be given as soon as the bill is dishonoured, and must be given within a reasonable time thereafter. In the absence of special circumstances notice is not deemed to have been given within a reasonable time, unless--(a) When the person giving and the person to receive notice reside in the same place, the notice is given or sent off in time to reach the latter on the day after the dishonour of the bill.(b) Where the person giving and the person to receive notice reside in different places, the notice is sent off on...
Stridhan
Stridhan, a Hindu married woman is absolute owner of her 'stridhan' property and can deal with it in any manner she likes-she may spend the whole of it or give it away at her own pleasure by gift or will without any reference to her husband. Ordinarily, the husband has no right or interest in it with the sole exception that in times of extreme distress, as in famine, illness or the like, the husband can utilise it but he is morally bound to restore it or its value when he is able to do so. This right is purely personal to the husband and the property so received by him in marriage cannot be proceeded against even in execution of a decree for debt, Pratibha Rani v. Suraj Kumar, AIR 1985 SC 628: (1985) 3 SCR 190: (1985) 2 SCC 370.Stridhan, are the properties gifted to a girl before the marriage, at the time of marriage or at the time of giving farewell or thereafter. It is her absolute property with all rights to dispose at her own pleasure. It does not become a joint property of the wif...
Prejudice, without
Prejudice, without, is a term given to overtures and communications between parties in the course of negotiate on, or between litigants before action or after action, but before trial or verdict. The words import an understanding that if the negotiation fails, nothing that has passed shall be taken advantage of thereafter; so, if a defendant offer, 'without prejudice,' to pay half the claim, the plaintiff must not rely on the offer as an admission of his having a right to some payment.The rule is that nothing written or said 'without prejudice' can be considered at the trial without the consent of both parties--not even by a judge in determining whether or not there is good cause for depriving a successful litigant of costs, Walker v. Wilsher, (1889) 23 QBD 335; Hulton v. Chadwick, 35 TLR 620. There must, however, be an existing dispute for the rule to apply [Re Daintrey, (1893) 2 QB 116]. The word is also frequently used without the foregoing implications in statutes and inter partes ...
Discontinuance
Discontinuance, an interruption or breaking off. This happened when he who had an estate-tail made a larger estate of the land than by law he was entitled to do; in which case the estate was good, so far as his power extended to make it, but no further, Finch, L. 190; 1 Rep. 44. The learning relative to discontinuances has now become of no account, as far as future transactions are concerned, not merely inconsequence of the abolition of fines, but by the effect of the Real Property Limitation Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Wm. 4, c. 27), which provides (s. 39) that no discontinuance shall thereafter avail to take away the right of entry.Discontinuance by the plaintiff in an action in the High Court is governed by R. S. C., Ord. XXVI.; and in the county Court by C. C. Rules, Ord. IX. In either Court there must be notice in writing (of which there are prescribed forms, which, though not compulsory, it is desirable to use), which in the county Court is to be given by post or otherwise to the registrar,...
