State Of West Bengal vs Union Of India on 21 December, 1962

If the intention of the legislature in fixing 25th June, 1975 in the impugned section of the Act was to make differentiation on the basis of pre-emergency and post- emergency temporary lecturers then there was no difficulty in agreeing with the view taken by the learned single judge of the Rajasthan High Court and accepting the submissions advanced on behalf of the appellants before us. However, as noted before, the division Bench of the High Court could not spell out such an intention from any of the provisions of the Ordinance as well as the Act. We respectfully agree. The Court can only search for the objective intent of the legislature primarily in the words used in the enactment aided by such historical material as reports of the statutory committees, preamble etc. It was laid down in the case of Stale of West Bengal v. Union of India (supra) that a statute, as passed by the Parliament, is the expression of the collective intention of the legislature as a whole. It may be borne in mind that in this case there was no particular point of view in mind of the University. We have noted the objects and reasons of the Ordinance.
