Voluntary retirement and resignation
Voluntary retirement and resignation, in service jurisprudence there is a difference between 'voluntary retirement' and 'resignation' as they convey different connotations. It has been held that voluntary retirement and resignation involve voluntary acts on the part of the employee to leave service and though both involve voluntary acts, they operate differently. One of the basic distinctions between the two is that is that in the case of resignation, it can be tendered at any time but in the case of voluntary retirement, it can only be sought for after rendering prescribed period of qualifying service. In the case of resignation, a prior permission is not mandatory while in the case of voluntary retirement, permission of the employer concerned is a requisite condition, Jaipal Singh v. Sumitra Mahajan, (2004) 4 SCC 522 (527); see also (2004) 9 SCC 461....
Voluntary winding up and winding up by the court
Voluntary winding up and winding up by the court, the expressions 'voluntary winding up' and 'winding up by the Court' have acquired a technical meaning in our Company and Insurance jurisprudence. Like the Co-operative Society Laws, the Companies Act and the Insurance Act also make a distinction between the cessation of business by a company and its voluntary winding up or winding up by an order of the Court. There is nothing unequivocal in s. 15(a) of the Act to show that Parliament intended to depart from the technical meaning of 'voluntary winding up' and 'winding up by the Court' and to bid a good-bye to the distinction in our Company and Insurance jurisprudence between mere cessation of business by a company and its voluntary winding up or winding up by an order of the Court. The phrase 'voluntarily wound up' in the first limb would mean the voluntary winding up of an insurance public company in accordance with s. 54 of the Insurance Act, The Neptune Assurance Co. Ltd.v. Union of ...

Voluntary, voluntary confession
Voluntary, voluntary confession, the crux of mak-ing a 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 impels 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 a 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 clearing his heart, Devender Pal Singh v. State of NCT of Delhi, (2002) 5 SCC 234 (260): AIR 2002 SC 1661. [Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Preven-tion) Act, 1987, s. 15]...
