The Kolkata Municipal Corporation & Ors vs Abas Nibas Pvt. Ltd. & Ors on 13 October, 2023
In so far as the decisions in the cases of Sangeeta Singh v. Union of
India & Ors., (supra), State of Kerala & Anr. v. P. V. Neelakandan Nair
& Ors. (supra), Unique Butyle Tube Industries (P) Ltd. v. U.P. Financial
Corporation & Ors. (supra) and C.J. Paul & Ors. v. District Collector &
Ors., (supra) are concerned, the Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that
legislative casus omissus cannot be supplied by judicial interpretative
process. While interpreting a provision, the Court only interprets the law
and cannot legislate. If a provision of law is misused and subjected to abuse
of process of law, it is for the legislature to amend, modify or repeal it, if
deemed necessary. In my considered respectful opinion, these four decisions
are not germane to the facts of the present case. We are not concerned in
this case with a situation of casus omissus.
