Levy, (Ch D), (2005) 1 WLR 2576.Under, the office of the Governor is an independent constitutional office which is not under the Government of India. The phrase 'a person serving under the Government of India or the Government of a State' seems to have reference to such persons in respect of whom the administrative control is vested in the respective executive Governments functioning in the name of the President or of the Governor or of a Rajpramukh.

The whole scheme of s. 127(3)(b) is manifestly to recognise the substitute maintenance arrangement by lump sum payment organised by the custom of the community or the personal law of the parties. There must be a rational relation between the sum so paid and its potential as provision for main-tenance; to interpret otherwise is to stultify the project. Law is dynamic and its meaning cannot be pedantic but purposeful, Bai Tahira v. A.C. Hussain Fiddali Chathia, (1979) 2 SCC 316: AIR 1979 SC 362 (365). [Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, s. 127(3)(b)]...

Under is obvious, cannot be taken to have same meaning as the word 'of' which may bring in the notion of ownership. Indeed the concept of under can be relevant only when there are two entities one of which may be under the others. A department of the government and can only loosely be termed as under the government. Consequently, the mere fact that the State Bank of India and the nationalized banks are different entities as corporate bodies for certain purposes cannot by itself be a circumstance from which it may be deduced that they cannot be establishments under the Central Government, Bank of India v. Stalin, (1988) 1 Ker LT 759....
