The most important Sections involved in the case among others of the Indian Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure was Section 6 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.2
The Appellant was charged and prosecuted for commission of the offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 135(1) of the Bombay Police Act.

    Tell us about a time that best demonstrated the extent of your analytical ability. A time where my analytical ability was demonstrated to the fullest would be when I held the position as a Qualified Mental Health Professional. In that role when engaging with my clients for the first time for their initial intake assessment I would have to compile all data ranging from familial status, psychosocial, financial, employment, housing and health information in order to develop a case plan for them. This information is very important because I had to make sure the goals and objectives that are developed based off the retrieved information. This was done for all new clients and also through the remainder of the time I was their worker. In my roles of doing eligibility it is important that I examine the information carefully and pay attention to the key factors that will or will not qualify clients for specific programs that they are applying for. I also have to apply this skill to the rules and regulations of the programs so I will fully understand and be able to convey them to the clients accurately.…

    The case dealt with the constitutionality of a certain pattern of sales tax legislation, calculated to counter consumer victimization by dealers. The provisions Sections 37(1) (a) and 46(2) of the Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959 was the impugned section which were challenged in the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat. The main question that was raised before the High Court was whether Sections 37(1) (a) and 46(2) of the Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959 are beyond the legislative power conferred by Entry 54, List II in Schedule VII of the Constitution.

    Abortion or miscarriage means the spontaneous or induced termination of pregnancy before the foetus is independently viable, which is usually taken as occurring after the 28th week of conception. Children born a few days before the 28th week are known to have survived with modern care. It has also been defined as the expulsion or removal of all (complete) or any part (incomplete) of the placenta or membranes with or without any abortus. Medically, abortion means the expulsion of the ovum within the first 3 months of the pregnancy; miscarriage, the expulsion of the foetus from 4th- 7th month; and premature delivery, the delivery of a baby after 7th month of pregnancy and before full term. Legally, miscarriage, abortion and pre mature labour are now accepted as synonymous terms, indicating any termination of pregnancy at any stage or before confinement. Life begins at the moment of conception; after conception, it takes about 7- 10 days before implantation of the developing ovum takes place; the embryo goes on developing upto the end of the 9th week, and from then onwards is the foetal stage.…
