Used substantially

Used substantially, 'used substantially' for the pur-pose of the mine or a number of mines under the same management, in relation to workshops. The use of the word 'and' makes both the conditions conjunctive. Sub-clause (xi) uses the words 'if solely used' for the location of the management, sale of liaison offices, or for the residence of officers and staff, of the mine, in relation to lands and buildings. The difference in language between the two expressions 'used substantially' and 'solely used' is obvious. It is therefore, possible to contend that lands and buildings appurtenant to a coal mine, if not exclusively used for purposes of the colliery business, would not come within the definition of mine in s. 2(h), i.e., it would depend upon the nature of user, and that the crucial date is the date of vesting, New Satgram Engineering Works v. Union of India, AIR 1981 SC 124: (1980) 4 SCC 570: (1981) 1 SCR 406....


Substantial and compelling reasons

Substantial and compelling reasons, the different phraseology used in the judgments of this Court, such as, (i) 'substantial and compelling reasons', (ii) 'good and sufficiently cogent reasons', and (iii) 'strong reasons' are not intended to curtail the undoubted power of an appellate court in an appeal against acquittal to review the entire evidence and to come to its own conclusion; but in doing so it should not only consider every matter on record having a bearing on the questions of fact and the reasons given by the court below in support of its order of acquittal in its arriving at a conclusion on those facts, but should also express those reasons in its judgment, which lead it to hold that the acquittal was not justified, Sanwat Singh v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1961 SC 715 (719): (1961) 3 SCR 120....


Feoffee to uses

Feoffee to uses, the person in whom, before the Statute of Uses, the legal seisin or feudal tenancy of the land was vested, the substantial and beneficial ownership or use being in the cestui qui use. The statute put an end to the estate of the feoffee to uses by transferring the possession from him to the cestui que use, who had now the legal estate, the use in his favour being executed by the statute. The (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 207, 7th Sched., has repealed the Statute of Uses in regard to dealings taking effect after 1925 and vests the legal ownership in the grantee, the beneficial owner (if another) becoming a mere cestui que trust; see also L.P. Act, 1925, 1st Sched. Part II., para 3, and L.P. (Amendment) Act, 1926, Sched. See USE....

The purpose of the Statute was to execute the use, investing the legal ownership of the property in the cestui que use, or one entitled to the beneficial enjoyment, and abolishing the ownership of the grantee.

These uses were called trust...
