The argument is that certain essential features of attributes are invariably associated with the words business and trade as understood in the popular and conventional sense, and it is the colour of these attributes which is taken by the other words used in the definition though their normal import may be much wider. The principle of noscitur a socii will be applicable in construing Section 15 of the Act and the words to make investigation, examination or survey of any property in section 15(1)(m) will take their meaning and colour from the other phrases employed in section 15(1).

In Union of India (1975) 1 SCC 737 and Panna Lal (1975) 2 SCC 633, this Court held - 40. Short title Extent of repeal (1) (2) (3) (4) 1949 XXXI The Indian Wireless Telegraphy The whole (Amendment) Act, 1949. The next lie which Dr. 24(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Bank had, by entering into the agreement with the Government of India, waived its right to take penal action against the employees for joining the illegal strikes and that, therefore, an enquiry should be held on additional evidence to decide the disputes on merits.

I cannot imagine that reason being anything else excepting to create evidence in support of her diagnosis of diabetic coma. Consequently, the terms and conditions of the licence including the definition . Thus, once a licence is issued under the proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 4 of the Telegraph Act, the licence becomes a contract between the licensor and the licensee. 2: The enactments specified in the First Schedule are hereby repealed to the extent mentioned in the fourth column thereof The First Schedule Year No.

33 of the Act, and it dismissed the appeal. They take as it were their colour from each other, that is, the more general is restricted to a sense analogous to a less general. As held by this Court in Rohit Pulp [1960 (2) SCR 866] in the following words : (SCR pp. It was urged, inter alia, on behalf of the Bank in the appeals that participation in a pen-down strike by itself amounted to misconduct sufficient to disentitle an employee to reinstatement and that the entire body of strikers, being collectively responsible for the publication of the subversive documents in question, the dismissed employees could by no means escape liability.

If she did this, she must have had some reason for it. Both the parties appealed to this Court. Against this interlocutory order the Bank appealed to this Court and it was held by this Court that while the strikes were no doubt illegal under s. We then come to this that the entry " Acetone + +" had been made by Dr. (e) Advertisement campaigns should only be need based; and (f) In case of large volume advertisement campaigns, post-campaign impact assessment is necessary to be included in the planning process itself and shall identify the indicators to measure success when the campaign has ended.

We are not impressed by this argument. It must be borne in mind that noscitur a sociis is merely a rule of construction and it cannot prevail in cases where it is clear that the wider words have been deliberately used in order to make the scope of the defined word correspondingly wider. It can also be applied where the meaning of the words of wider import is doubtful, but, where the object of the legislature in using wider words is clear and free of ambiguity, the rule of construction in question cannot be pressed into service.

The same rule is thus interpreted in Words and Phrases (Vol. (2) Roller printing machines, usually consisting of a large central cylinder (pressure bowl) around the periphery of which is placed a series of engraved colour rollers, each with its colour trough, furnisher roller, doctor blades, etc. This principle has been applied in a number of contexts in judicial decisions where the court is clear in its mind that the larger meaning of the word in question could not have been intended in the context in which it has been used.

are part of a contract between the licensor and the licensee. Associated words take their meaning from one another under the doctrine of noscitur a sociis, the philosophy of which is that the meaning of a doubtful word may be ascertained by reference to the meaning of words associated with it; such doctrine is broader than the maxim ejusdem generis In fact the latter maxim is only an illustration or specific application of the broader maxim noscitur a sociis.

23(b) of the Act, the orders of dismissal passed by the Bank were no less so under s. 873-74) This rule, according to Maxwell, means that, when two or more words which are susceptible of analogous meaning are coupled together they are understood to be used in their cognate sense. Preliminary objections were raised on behalf of the said employees that, (1) in view of the decision of this Court dismissing the Bank's appeal against the said interlocutory order the subsequent inquiry by the Tribunal and the orders of dismissal must be held to be void and, (2) no charges having been admittedly framed nor any proper enquiry held by the Bank against the employees, the orders of dismissal were wholly invalid.

The Appellate Tribunal, thereafter, heard the cases on merits, directed-the reinstatement of 136 of the said employees, but refused to reinstate the rest whom it found guilty of issuing posters and circulars subversive of the credit of the Bank. It is only where the intention of the legislature in associating wider words with words of narrower significance is doubtful, or otherwise not clear that the present rule of construction can be usefully applied.
