In the unabridged edition of the Random House Dictionary, the word 'abandon' has been explained as meaning 'to leave completely and finally; forsake utterly; to relinquish, renounce; to give up all concern in something'. According to the Dictionary of English Law by Earl Jowitt (1959 Edn.) 'abandonment' means 'relinquishment of an interest or claim'. Meaning according to Black's Law Dictionary that "'abandonment'when used in relation to an office means 'voluntary relinquishment'", relied upon to conclude: It must be total and under such circumstances as clearly to indicate an absolute relinquishment. The failure to perform the duties pertaining to the office must be with actual or imputed intention on the part of the office. G.T.Lad v.
