Income
Income, s. 4 of the Income-tax Act, defines the 'total income' to include all income, profits and gains from whatever source deprived. The definition of 'income' in Shaw Wallace & Co. case, 1932 (59) IA 206, as a periodical monetary return coming in with some sort of regularity, or expected regularity, from definite sources must be read with reference to the peculiar facts of that case.

Processing
Processing, in common parlance 'processing' is understood as an action which brings forth some change or alteration of the goods or material which is subjected to the act of processing. 'What is necessary in order to characterise an operation as 'processing' is that the commodity must, as a result of the operation, experience some change' (See Chowgule & Co. Pvt. Ltd. v. Union of India, 1981 (1) SCC 653: AIR 1981 SC 1014). In a cold storage, vegetables, fruits and several other articles which requires preservation by refrigeration are stored.

Condition of service
Condition of service, includes transfer of the employees, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief v. Subhash Chandra Yadav, (1988) 2 SCC 351: AIR 1988 SC 876. [Cantonment Board Service Rules (1937) R. 5C]The expression 'conditions of service' is an expression of wide import. As pointed by the Supreme Court in Pradyat Kumar Bose v. Hon'ble the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court, (1955) 2 SCR 1331, the dismissal of an official is a matter which falls within 'conditions of service' of public servants. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in North West Frontier Province v. Suraj Narain Anand, (1948) LR 75 IA 343, took the view that a right of dismissal is a condition of service within the meaning of the words under s. 243 of the Government of India Act, 1935. Lord Thankerton speaking for the Board observed therein: 'apart from consideration whether the context indicates a special significance to the expression 'conditions of service' their Lordships are unable in the absence of any su...
Charities, or Public Trusts
Charities, or Public Trusts. One of the earliest fruits of the Emperor Constantine's zeal, or pretended zeal, for Christianity, was a permission to his subjects to bequeath their property to the Church. This permission was soon abused to so great a degree as to induce the Emperor Valentinian to enact to Mortmain Act by which it was restrained. But this restraint was gradually relaxed; and in the time of Justinian it became a fixed maxim of civil law that legacies to pious uses (which included all legacies destined to works of charity, whether they related to spiritual or temporal concerns) were entitled to peculiar favour, and to be deemed privileged testaments.Lord Thurlow was clearly of opinion that the doctrine of charities grew up from the civil law; and Lord Eldon, in assenting to that opinion, has judiciously remarked, that at an early period that ordinary had the power to apply a portion of every man's personal estate to charity; and when afterwards the statute compelled a distr...
Within
Within, the expression 'within' should be read as 'during' or 'for' and this cannot be done because words cannot be construed contrary to their meaning as the word 'within' would mean 'on or before', 'not beyond' and, therefore, it was held that the Act would mean that on or before the expiration of the iddat period, the husband is bound to make and pay a maintenance to the wife and if he fails to do so then the wife is entitled to recover it by filing an application before the Magistrate as provided in s. 3(3) but nowhere the Parliament has provided that reasonable and fair provision and maintenance is limited only for the iddat period and not beyond it. It would extend to the whole life of the divorced wife unless she gets married for a second time, Danial Latifi v. Union of India, AIR 2001 SC 3958 (3969): (2001) 7 SCC 740. [Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce Act, 1986, s. 3(1)(a)]...
National insurance
National insurance. The (English) National Insur-ance Act, 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5, c. 55), introduced by Mr. Lloyd George, established a wide system of compulsory state insurance covering both ill-health and unemployment, which is based upon premiums contributed in part by the employer, in part by the employee, and in part by the State. The Act consisted of three parts, the first dealing with National Health Insurance, the second with Unemployment Insurance, and the third contained miscellaneous provisions. This Act remained the basis of National Health Insurance, although the subject of very extensive amendment, until the National Health Insurance Act, 1924, consolidated the law. The law has been consolidated again by the (English) National Health Insurance Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5, and 1 Edw. 8, c. 32), amends and repeals the whole of the Acts passed in 1920, 1922, 1924 and 1928. The arrangement is as follows:-Part I. Insured Persons and Contributions.Part II. Benefits.Part III. Approved Soc...
Within such period
Within such period, means within the period which ends with the last day of limitation prescribed. In other wards, in all cases falling under s. 5 what the party has to show is why he did not file an appeal on the last day of limitation prescribed. That may inevitably mean that the party will have to show sufficient cause not only for not filing the appeal on the last day but to explain the delay made thereafter day by day. In other words, in showing sufficient cause for condoning the delay the party may be called upon to explain for the whole of the delay covered by the period between the last day prescribed for filing the appeal and the day on which the appeal is filed. To hold that the expression 'within such period' means during such period would, be repugnant in the context, Ram Lal v. Rewa Coalifieds Ltd., AIR 1962 SC 361 (364): (1962) 2 SCR 762. (Limitation Act, 1963, s. 5)...
