The restitution is consequential to the variation or reversal of the decree or on its being modified or set aside. The condition precedent for restitution, therefore, is that the decree of the trial court must be reversed or varied in appeal or otherwise.The word ‘consequentially’ lays emphasis on the obligation on the party to the suit or proceedings which received the benefit of the erroneous decree to make restitution to the other party for what he has lost. The court therefore is bound to restore the parties, as far as they can be, to the same position they were at the time when the court by its erroneous action had displaced them from it.Equally where a sum of money was recovered in execution by a decree which was subsequently reversed…

After food, shelter is the most important need of man. Men construct houses and develop settlements to protect themselves against the vagaries of weather and to enjoy social life. In fact, settlement is man’s important step towards adapting himself to his physical environment.The problem of rural and urban settlements has increasingly been probed by anthropologists, sociologists, ethnographers, economists and geographers. They, however, examine this issue with different objectives and methodologies. Few people live in isolation.Most people of the world reside in some form of settlement—a permanent collection of houses, buildings and inhabitants.

The way a new invention is used makes it good or bad. The same is the case with science. It plays a very important and useful role in our life and can be a friend, or a foe according to the way it is used. Science tries to explain the principles behind natural phenomena, and scientists for long have been harnessing this knowledge for the benefit of the society on the whole.Nagarjuna, an ancient, leading Indian scientist, discovered many methods of curing diseases, using plants for medicinal purposes. Science and its miracles; procured after long, arduous researches over the centuries, have made life easier and enjoyable.The application of scientific researches has proved to be a blessing in more ways than one.

Life of each and every individual is a rare blend of tears and smiles; sadness and laughter; happy celebration as well as mourning. The pity is that tears far outnumber the moments of laughter. Shakespeare has correctly said, “The moments of happiness are rare in the general drama of pain.”The bitter truth is that there are some days in the life of an individual that are very difficult to forget. The events of those days remain indelibly etched in his memory forever, as they are not ordinary. Such days are often instrumental in turning the course of his life. These days could be sad or happy.I find it really too difficult to forget the 30th of November, 2002, which was the saddest day of my life. The memory of that…

The final verdict has yet to be pronounced whether the pen or the sword is mightier. The supporters of each viewpoint have their own logic to present. Both the pen and the sword are very powerful weapons of offence and defense and can make, or mar a person or a country. One can easily ask how the pen can bring physical harm to anyone.In spite of looking harmless and dumb, the pen has the power to mould public opinion and raise the masses to revolt. It was with the power of the pen of a number of poets and writers that we got many young boys and girls to fight for India’s freedom and even sacrifice their lives with a smile on face.The pen is still in great use and…

Summer vacation. It was a long journey to Ooty from Delhi, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. We reached Mettupalayam by train. From there we took another train for Wellington. This journey, in the little mountain railway, was quite exhilarating and unforgettable.During the journey we saw breath-taking scenes of Nigeria hills and forests. There were my maternal uncle, aunt, their little daughter Jasmine and 2 attendants to receive us at the station. We were over­joyed to see and meet one another.The following day, and then on the week-end, we visited Ooty. On both these visits we enjoyed the beauty, freshness, food walking, horse-riding and excursions. Situated at the height of 2,286 meters on Nigeria hills, Ooty is a very popular and famous hill resort of South India. It is in the…

India is a nation of about 108 crore people but it has not shown any remarkable performance in the Olympic games. Not even a single gold medal has been won in any discipline except in shooting in Bejing Olympics and the game of hockey years ago, and in that game too we have fallen below the top five teams in the world. A huge contingent goes to compete in the Olympics with great expectations but the whole nation is disappointed when most of the athletes fail even to qualify for the finals. An odd silver medal or a bronze is all we get in the mega sports event.In the Commonwealth Games, our performance has been slightly better than in the Olympics, but it is still far from satisfactory. Countries like…

Life is full of events. Some are pleasant while some are gloomy. Some are not only pleasant but full of excitement and emotions.
