Water
Water, the word 'water (jal)' refers to water in tanks or wells and does not refer to the flowing water of the river. Indeed, if a grant of the river including it flowing water is intended to be made, the Sanad would have definitely used the word 'river (nadi)', because it is well-known that when rivers, drains or culverts are intended to be gifted, the Sanads usually use the words 'nadi and nalla.' Therefore, on a plain construction of the relevant words used in the Sanad, there can be no doubt that what is conveyed to the grantee by the Sanad is stationary of static water in the ponds or wells and not the flowing water of the river, S.N. Ranade v. Union of India, AIR 1964 SC 24 (27): (1964) 1 SCR 885.1. The transparent liquid that is a chemical compound of hydrogen and Oxygen (H2O)2.

Rubber
Rubber, rubber is described in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Volume 19, 1965 edition: Rubber the substance caoutchouc (q.v.), a milklike fluid that is obtained from certain tropical shrubs or tyres and then subjected to various processes of manufacture; or it may be a product of chemical synthesis. The uniqueness of rubber lies in its physical properties of extensibility and toughness. In its natural state, it is greatly affected by temperature, becoming harder when cooled (at 0 x-10 x C it is opaque) and softer when heated (above 50x C it becomes tackier and less elastic, decomposing into liquid form at 190 x-200x C). When vulcanized (i.e. heated with sulfur at 120 x-160 x C) it loses its thermoplasticity and becomes stronger and more elastic..... Chemically, rubber is a polymer of isoprene..... The term synthetic rubber is used to describe an evergrowing number of elastic materials, some of which closely resemble natural rubber while others have completely different physical properti...

Proof
Proof, does not mean proof to rigid mathematical demonstration, because that is impossible; it must mean such evidence as would induce a reasonable man to come to a particular conclusion, Hawkins v. Powells Tillery Steam Coal Co. Ltd., (1911) 1 KB 988: 1911 WN 53.Proof, evidence, testimony, convincing token means of conviction. Also standard strength of spirituous liquids.See BURDEN OR PROOF; EVIDENCE; BANK-RUPTCY; WINDING-UP.The word 'proof' need be understood in the sense in which it is defined in the Evidence Act because proof depends upon the admissibility of evidence. A fact is said to be proved when, after considering the matters before it, the court either believes it to exist, or considers its existence so probable that a prudent man ought, under the circumstances of the particular case, to act upon the supposition that it exists. This is the definition given for the word 'proved' in the Evidence Act. What is required is production of such materials on which the court can reaso...
Oil vanaspati
Oil vanaspati, vanaspati, is essentially an oil al-though it is a different kind of oil than that oil (be it rapeseed oil, cotton-seed oil, ground-nut oil, soya bean oil or any other oil) which forms its basic ingredient. Oil will remain oil if it retains its essential properties and merely because it has been subjected to certain processes would not convert it into a different substance. The word 'oil' is not defined in the Act and therefore, its dictionary meaning may well be pressed into service for interpreting the term 'oil mill'. According to Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1966 Edn.) the word 'oil' has different connotations in different situations but in the context of item 5 aforesaid the meaning to be given to would be: Any of various substances that typically are unctuous viscous combustible liquids or solids easily liquefiable on warming and are not miscible with water but are soluble in ether, naphtha, and often alcohol and other organic solvents, that leave ...
