IoS- IAT 2

The function of court is only ------------ and not to legislate

An ------------ consideration of a provision leads to the risk of some other interrelated provisions becoming devoid of meaning.

 ‘It is our duty to make what we can of the statutes, knowing that they are meant to be operative, and not inept, and nothing short of impossibility should in my judgement allow a judge to declare a statute unworkable.’ Who made this statement?

Mere ------------- cannot be a ground for not giving effective and grammatical meaning to every word of the provisions of a statute if the language used therein is unequivocal.

Unambiguous means unambiguous in ---------- and not necessarily grammatical unambiguity.

This is expected to express the scope, object and purpose of the Act more comprehensively.

When word is defined to ‘means such and such’, the definition is prima facia Restrictive and ----------- definition.

During interpretation a judge is not supposed to make such interpretation which will make the provision -----------

One of its feature of Transitional provision is that its operation is expected to be ------------- , while the primarily legislation continues to deal indefinitely with the new circumstances which arise after its passage.
