Title | Interpretation of statute |
---|---|
Details |
The judicial process by which the true meaning of a statute is ascertained
through the medium of the authoritative forms in which it is expressed. It
is the principle of interpretation of statute that it shall be interpreted
as a whole for carrying out its purposes. An isolated interpretation cannot
be obtained for the purpose of knocking down an enactment. ….. [Arif
Rahman vs. The Commissioner of Customs and others, 18 BLD (HCD) 677]
