Dhan Singh And Ors. Etc. Etc vs State Of Haryana And Ors on 5 December, 1990
The explanation when read by giving effect to the
expression 'inter-alia' and the place at which it finds mention would
CWP No. 4782 of 2010 10
lead the Court to a conclusion, which is not in consonance with the
one as reached in Dhan Singh's case. By not giving effect to the
impression 'inter-alia' would virtually mean overlooking it as if the said
expression did not exist in the rule itself which would result in
obliterating it having the effect of virtually deleting it. This would
amount to open and blatant violation of the simple meaning of the
statute. It is a settled preposition of interpretation that each word
used in the Statute has to be given effect to as per its literal meaning
and effect and in doing so, effort should be made to fulfil the object
with which the said word/expression has been used by its framers.
