<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Nick<br></div>I suspect you read the Wikipedia article rather than the actual judgement accessible here<br><a href="https://indiankanoon.org/doc/114459608/">https://indiankanoon.org/doc/114459608/</a><br><br></div>Paras 76 and 77 would amply clarify the Ld. appellate judge's state of mind immediately before they issued their direction in the next paragraph<br><br><div>
<div style="margin-left:40px">"<i>76. A lay person may question as to how a provision in a statute results in
an interpretation where a right conferred on a person to use the work of
another without any compensation would be just and fair. The question
would obviously arise : Is it possible that a provision in a statute partially
drowns another provision. This lay person would obviously desire, and
perhaps logic would feed the desire, that no provision should be drowned or
partially drowned. After all, in the melody of the statute all notes should be
heard.
</i></div><p id="gmail-p_124" style="margin-left:40px"><i>77. We therefore answer this question, which certainly arises, using the
imagery of music. A melody is the outcome of the sounds created when
different instruments, such as a lute, flute, timbale, harp and drums are played
in harmony. The notes of the instruments which are loud and resonating have
to be controlled so that the sound of the delicate instruments can be heard.
But it has to be kept in mind that at proper times the sound of the drums
drowns out the sound of all other instruments under a deafening thunder of
the brilliant beating of the drums. Thus, it is possible that the melody of a
statute may at times require a particular Section, in a limited circumstance, to
so outstretch itself that, within the confines of the limited circumstance,
another Section or Sections may be muted.</i>"<br></p>
