Interpretation of laws

This authoritative work on the Interpretation of Laws offers a complete and structured understanding of how statutes, regulations, and legal instruments are interpreted within the Indian legal system. It covers foundational principles such as the literal rule, golden rule, and mischief rule, along with internal and external aids, presumptions, maxims, and doctrines that shape judicial interpretation. The book also examines how courts identify legislative intent, apply purposive interpretation, resolve conflicts between statutes, and use precedents to clarify the scope and meaning of legal provisions. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the judiciary in interpreting complex and evolving statutes, including constitutional provisions, regulatory laws, and socio-economic legislation. Drawing on leading Supreme Court and High Court cases, the analysis offers practical insights into interpretative methods used in litigation and judicial decision-making. The content is designed to support academic study, exam preparation, and day-to-day legal practice.
