Meaning and connotation

In a charge, there is no transfer of any interest in favour of the charge holder, however, he is only entitled to recover his money from the property

Under S.100 of Transfer of Property Act, 1882, it is expedient that there must be a clear intention to make a particular property a security for the payment of a debt

Where the property is not intended to serve as a security, there can be neither a mortgage nor a charge

Tenant had not pleaded that he paid the amount to the landlady as a debt and in exchange, the landlady had created a charge on the subject house to secure repayment of the money

Tenant had pleaded contradictory stances of purchase and charge and also admitted title of the respondent and payment of rent, thus, he was neither purchaser of the subject house nor charge holder and was a tenant on the principle that, 'once a tenant is always a tenant'

Appeal was dismissed accordingly.

Term "sale" and the words "other transfer of the right to dispose of goods as owner" used in S. 2(33) of the Sales Tax Act, 1990 were similar and had to be read ejusdem generis with each other; and given the context, the said words had to be given a meaning which appeared to determine its most apt and likely sense.

Word "Hajj" (the holy pilgrimage) means "to intend a journey" which connoted both the outward act of a journey and the inward act of intentions.

Word "ad hoc" itself reflected that an incumbent was holding the charge as stop-gap arrangement as the vacant post was not filled up through due process

Word "acting charge" had wider connotation, as a person performing duties on acting charge basis exercised full powers of the office and could not be considered to be appointed on the basis of stop-gap arrangement.

Word "Hajj" (the holy pilgrimage) meant "to intend a journey" which connoted both the outward act of a journey and the inward act of intentions.

"By an Act" would mean by a provision directly enacted in the statute in question and which is gatherable from its express language or by necessary implication therefrom

Words "under an Act" would, in that context, signify what was not directly to be found in the statute itself but was conferred or imposed by virtue of powers enabling this to be done; in other words, by laws made by a subordinate law-making authority which was empowered to do so by the parent Act.
