Law:

Section:

(a) Interpretation of statutes------ Intention of Legislature---Grammatical and ordinary sense of the words used by Legislature in expressing its intention must be adhered to---Where literal adherence to words of any enactment appears to produce absurdity or injustice, Court, while interpreting, must consider state of law at the time the relevant statute was passed so as to ascertain whether language of enactment was capable of another fair interpretation and whether it would not be desirable to put upon the language used, restrictive meaning---First rule of construing any enactment would be to give the words their natural meaning and if no reasonable result could be arrived at by giving the words their natural meaning, only then some other interpretation would be permissible--­Where, however, phraseology of law was changed by amendment, presumption would be that some change in law was intended---Change of language in same Code or Act would be presumed to indicate change of intention on the part of Legislature.
