Voluntarily given up his membership
Voluntarily given up his membership, the words 'voluntarily given up his membership' are not synonymous with 'resignation' and have a wider connotation. A person may voluntarily give up his membership of a political party even though he has not tendered his resignation from the membership of that party. Even in the absence of a formal resignation from membership an inference can be drawn form the conduct of a member that he was voluntarily given up his membership of the political party to which he belongs, Ravi S. Naik v. Union of India, 1994 Supp (2) SCC 641: AIR 1994 SC 1558 (1565). [Constitution of India, Sch. 10, Para 2(1)(a)]...
Voluntarily
Voluntarily, a person is said to cause an effect 'voluntarily' when he causes it by means whereby he intended to cause it, or by means which, at the time of employing those means, he knew or had reason to believe to be likely to cause it. (Indian Penal Code, 1860, s. 39)Intentionally; without coercion, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 1569.The crux of making statement voluntarily is, what is intentional, intended, unimpelled by other influences, acting on one's own will, through his own conscience. Such confessional statements are made mostly out of a thirst to speak the truth which at a given time predominates in the heart of the confessor which implies him to speak out the truth. Internal compulsion of the conscience to speak out the truth normally emerges when one is in despondency or in perilous situation when he wants to shed his cloak of guilt and nothing but disclosing the truth would dawn on him. It sometimes becomes so powerful that he is ready to face all consequences for...

Special case
Special case. By (English) R.S.C. 1883, Ord. XXXIV., the parties may, after writ issued, concur in stating the questions of law arising in the action in the form of a special case for the opinion of the Court, and 'if it appear to the Court or a judge that there is in any action a question of law which it would be convenient to have decided before any evidence is given or any question or issue of fact is tried, or before any reference is made to a referee or an arbitrator, the Court or judge may make an ordr accordingly, and may direct such question of law to be raised for the opinion of the Court, either by special case, or in such other manner as the Court or judge may deem expedient.'

case number
case number The National Visa Center (NVC) gives each immigrant petition a case number. This number has three letters followed by ten digits (numbers). The three letters are an abbreviation for the overseas embassy or consulate that will process the immigrant visa case (for example, GUZ for Guangzhou, CDJ for Ciudad Juarez). The digits tell us exactly when NVC created the case. For example a case with the number MNL2001747003 would be a case assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. 2001 is the year in which NVC received the case from the USCIS (formerly INS). The Julian date is 747 plus 500, so this case was created on September 4, 2001, the 247th day of the year. The 003 shows that it was the third case created for Manila on that day. This case number is not the same as the USCIS receipt number, which is written on the Notice of Action, Form I-797, from the USCIS. A consular section abroad cannot find a case if all you have is the USCIS receipt number. Source: Department of State. ...
Case, action on the
Case, action on the. The action on the case lay where a party sued for damages for any wrong or cause of complaint (such as negligence, or breach of contract not under seal) to which covenant or trespass did not apply. Statutory sanction was obtained for this form of action under the Statute of Westminster 2 (13 Edw. 1, c. 24), which regulated and limited the increasing practice of framing new writs by officers of the Crown and empowered the Clerks in Chancery to frame new writs in consimili casu with writs then in existence, see Pollock on Torts and Law Quarterly Review, Vol. 52, p. 68. Under the statutory sanction many new writs which were analogous to the writ of trespass, or in consimili casu with that action, were invented and issued under the appellation of 'trespass on the case' (brevia 'de transgressione super casum') as being founded on the particular circumstances of the case thus requiring a remedy, and to distinguish them from the old writ of trespass; and the injuries them...
