Meaning and Object of Interpretation of statute

-
1) Legislature - law making body

2) Executive - Law enforcing body to maintain law and order.

 3) Judiciary - Interpretation of law and adjudicate dispute
Meaning - Interpretation means the art of finding the true sense of an enactment by giving the word of the enactment their natural and ordinary meaning.

 Definition -  Salmond gave the definition as follows
" Interpretation is the process by which the court try to ascertain the meaning of the legislation through the authoritative form in which it is expressed."

 - In certain cases, more than one meaning may be derived from the same word or sentence.

 Object - The object to the interpretation of statute is to determine the intention of the legislature conveyed expressly or impliedly in the language used.
This case S.C.followed the same principle.

 - Necessity of interpretation would arise only where the language of a statutory provision is ambiguous, not clear or where two views are possible or where the provision gives a different meaning defeating the object of a statue.

 - where the words are clear and there is no obscurity, and there is no ambiguity and the intention of the legislature is clearly conveyed, there is no scope for court to take upon itself the task of amending or altering the statutory provisions.
