Union Of India & Anr vs Shardindu on 16 May, 2007
19. So far as, earlier decision by this Court in the case of Dr. Sukumar Mehta (supra) later on the Apex Court in the case of Union of India and Anr. v. Shardindu held that when language of the provision is plain and unambiguous, the question of supplying 'casus omissus' does not arise and the Court can interpret a law but cannot legislate. Therefore, recent trend for supplying gape in legislation is concerned, the Court will be loath in exercise of power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
