| Process – Meaning |

Process and manufacture:- — According to Oxford Dictionary one of the meanings of the word “process” is “a continuous and regular action or succession of actions taking place or carried on in a definite manner and leading to the accomplishment of some result”. “Manufacture” is a transformation of an article, which is commercially different from the one, which is converted. The essence of manufacture is the change of one object to another for the purpose of making it marketable. The essential point thus is that in manufacture something is brought into existence, which is different from that, which originally existed in the sense that the thing produced is by [See Empire Industries Ltd. v.

| Notice:- |
The term “notice” originated from the Latin word “notifia” which means “a being known” or a knowing and is wide enough in the legal circle to include a plaint filed in a suit, CST v. Subhash & Co., (2003) 3 SCC 454. The making something known to a person of which he was or might be ignorant. Notice is either (1) statutory; (2) actual, which brings the knowledge of a fact directly home to the party; or (3) constructive or implied, which is no more than evidence of facts which raise such a strong presumption of notice that equity will not allow the presumption to be rebutted. The word “notice” denotes merely an intimation to the party concerned of a particular fact. Notice may take several forms. It must be sufficient in writing and must intimate quite clearly that the award has been made and signed. A written notice clearly intimating the parties concerned that the award has been made and signed certainly starts limitation, Parasramka Commercial Co. v. Union of India, (1969) 2 SCC 694.
