https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173036 Section 6(7) of the Press Council Act, 1978 was construed in its plain and ordinary meaning: the bar applies only to a retiring member who is sought to be re-nominated for more than one further term. The Court rejected reading "retiring" as "retired" and declined to treat the provision as a lifetime disqualification after two terms, because no absurdity or frustration of legislative purpose was shown. The provision therefore does not prevent a person from being nominated again merely because of prior service, and the appellant remained eligible for nomination. en-us Mon, 11 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 May 2016 10:21:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173036 Section 6(7) of the Press Council Act, 1978 was construed in its plain and ordinary meaning: the bar applies only to a retiring member who is sought to be re-nominated for more than one further term.
