Paramjit Kumar Saroya vs The Union Of India And Another on 28 May, 2014

13. Before concluding, it would also be relevant to refer to the decision of a Division Bench of Punjab and Haryana High Court in Paramjit Kumar Saroya v. Union of India and Another: AIR 2014 P&H 121, wherein the Court had interpreted Section 16 (1) of the Act to also provide the right of appeal to any of the affected parties. In terms of the said decision, the provisions of Section 16 (1) of the Act cannot be read to limit the appeal only to one party (Senior Citizens or Parents as the case may be), as the same would render the provisions invalid. The Court had reasoned that to sustain the validity of Section 16 (1) of the Act, the same must be interpreted by applying the principles of purposive interpretation and casus omissus. The Court rejected the challenge to the validity of Section 16 (1) of the Act but held that "it must be read to provide for the right of appeal to any of the affected parties."
