Trespass
Trespass [fr. transgressio, Lat.], any transgression of the law, less than treason, felony, or misprision of either.An unlawful act committed against the person or property of another esp. wrongful entry on another's real property, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn.The action of trespass lies where a trespass has been committed either to the plaintiff's person or property. A trespass is an injury committed with violence, and this violence may be either actual or implied; and the law will imply violence, though none is actually used, where the injury is of a direct and immediate kind, and committed on the person or tangible and corporeal property of the plaintiff. Of actual violence an assault and battery is an instance; of implied, a peaceable but wrongful enter upon the plaintiff's lands, Steph. Plead., 7th Edn., 11, 37, 154. As to trespass on the case, see CASE and VI ET ARMIS.Trespass, as an unlawful act committed against a person and property of another, Black's Law Dictionary (7th E...
Misconduct
Misconduct, is a relative term. It has to be considered with reference to the subject-matter and the context wherein such term occurs. It literally means wrong conduct or improper conduct, R.D. Saxena v. Balram Prasad Sharma, (2000) 7 SCC 264.Misconduct, means 'A transgression of some established and definite rule of action, a forbidden act, a dereliction from duty, unlawful behaviour, wilful in character, improper or wrong behaviour; its synonyms are misdemeanour, misdeed, misbehaviour, delinquency, impropriety, mismanagement, offence, but not negligence or carelessness, (Black's Law Dictionary), N.G. 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...
Colourable legislation
Colourable legislation, the doctrine of colourable legislation does not involve any question of bona fides or mala fides on the part of the legislature. The whole doctrine resolves itself into the question of competency of a particular legislature to enact a particular law. If the legislature is competent to pass a particular law, the motives which impelled it to act are really irrelevant. On the other hand, if the legislature lacks competency, the question of motive does not arise at all. Whether a statute is constitutional or not is thus always a question of power. The idea conveyed by the expression is that although apparently a legislature in passing a statute purported to act within the limits of its powers, yet in substance and in reality it transgressed these powers, the transgression being veiled by what appears, on proper examination, to be a mere pretense or disguise, K.C. Gajapathi Narayan Deo v. State, (1954) SCR 1: AIR 1953 SC 375. See also Gullapalli Nageswara Rao v. Andh...
Punishment
Punishment, is the penalty for transgressing the law, Jowitts Dictionary of English Law, Vol. 2 (2nd Edn. by John Burke).Punishment, the penalty for transgressing the law: in England usually left within very wide limits to the discretion of the Court. Too great severity has frequently led to refusals of juries to convict, especially where the punishment is death, as it was down to 1810, for the offence of stealing goods to the value of forty shillings from a dwelling-house, and down to 1832 for forgery. In the former case the jury would falsely find the value of the goods stolen to be thirty-nine shillings; in the latter, a petition of bankes bastened the mitigation of a punishment which failed to protect them.The ordinary dictionary meaning of the word 'punish' is 'to cause the offender to suffer for the offense' or 'to inflict penalty on the offender' or 'to inflict penalty for the offence'. Any action of the employer to the detriment of the workmen's interest would not be punishment...
