appellant. Nominate means to propose for or appoint to an office. The
word “nominate” has its origin in the Latin word “nominatus”, which
means to name. It is also specifying or mentioning a particular name
in order to fix an appointment. It also in certain circumstances means
to appoint a person by name to hold some office or discharge some

the decision in the case of A.Mohambaram v. M.A.Jayavelu and
others, reported in AIR 1970 Mad 63.
