Hardeep Singh vs State Of Punjab & Ors on 10 January, 2014
16. It is well settled through Hardeep Singh vs. State of Punjab reported in 2014 (3) SCC
92, that words in statute can't be construed as surplusage and no word can be rendered
ineffective or purposeless. With this principle of interpretation in mind, when we construe the
enactment, the intention of the legislature points to only one interpretation and that is to
provide guaranteed employment for 100 days to the eligible and interested adult applicant in
a rural household. When the State fails to provide such employment, the consequences are
laid down in the Act itself and disbursal of unemployment allowance for the idle days is a
statutory obligation, caste on the State, by the NREGA.
