M. V. Joshi vs M. U. Shimpi And Another on 27 February, 1961
It is well settled that such a penal provision must be
strictly construed; that is to say, in the absence of clear
compelling language, the provision should not be given a
wider interpretation, and "no case should be held to fall
within which does not come within the reasonable
interpretation of the statute." (M. V. Joshi v. M. V.
Shimpi) (1). If two constructions are possible upon the
language of the statute, the Court must choose the one which
is consistent with good sense and fairness, and eschew the
other which makes its operation unduly oppressive, unjust or
unreasonable, or which would lead to strange, inconsistent
results or otherwise introduce an element of bewildering
uncertainty and practical inconvenience in the working of
the statute.
