 In the Matter of Mukund Dewangan Vs. Oriental Insurance Company Limited complaint no.CIVIL APPEAL NO.5826 OF 2011  decided on 3 July, 2017 before SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

Hon‟ble Apex Court has also laid down that 

• the first and primary rule of construction is that the intention of the legislature must be found in the words used by legislature itself. 
• Each word, phrase or sentence is to be construed in the light of the general purpose of the Act itself. 
• The interpretation of the provisions of law depends upon the text and context.
•  The text is the texture and the context is what gives colour and neither of them can be ignored. 
• That interpretation is best which makes the textual matching contextual.
