ASSIGNMENTS
The First Assignment on this day was to apply for copying of a case. Firstly I tried to learnt
what is this concept, so further on this issue I researched and found out that parties to any
proceeding may, on application with the prescribed court-fee made to the Court having the
custody of the record, obtain certified copies of any judgment, order, deposition,
memorandum of evidence, or any other documents filed in the said proceeding. The
application may be made by the party himself or by his recognized agent or by his Pleader or
Advocate and may also be sent by post. The application shall state whether the copy applied
for is required for private use or otherwise. So on this day I applied for copying in the case
of
CB Civil Writ Petition No. 6151/2014 Rajesh Sarpate S/o Tulsi Ram vs State of
Rajasthan through the Secretary, Dept. Of Local Bodies, Rajasthan, decided on 19th
December, 2016.
The Second Assignment on this day was to Posting of a Caveat by India Post. By this
assignment I learned what a Caveat is and what are its reasons and where it is mentioned in
any statute. I found out through a research that a Caveat is a notice given by a person,
informing the Court that another person may file a suit or application against him and that the
Court must give the Caveator (person filing the Caveat) a fair hearing before deciding any
matter brought before it in the relevant case. I further researched and As per Order XI
A, Section 148A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908:
(1) Where an application is expected to be made, or has been made, in a suit or proceedings
instituted, or about to be instituted, in a Court, any person claiming a right to appear before
the Court on the hearing of such application may lodge a caveat in respect thereof.
Also a caveat is filed for various reasons and this caveat was filed to clarify the Caveators
address in District Court Order in case of
SB Civil Writ Petition No. 9020/2014 Dr. Kundan Lal Porwal vs. State of Rajasthan

CASE BRIEFS
Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd. (Biomass Energy Division) Vs. State of Rajasthan
Rule of interpretation says that a statute must be read as a whole and the provisions of
a statute should be construed with reference to other provisions in the same statute so
as to make consistent enactment of the whole statute. If the court finds that there is
some inconsistency between the two provisions of the same statute, then it is the duty
of the court to remove the said inconsistency between the two provisions of the same
statute, so both the provisions can be made workable.
If there is any doubt about the words of a statute, then the interpretation which is
harmonious with the subject of the enactment and the object, with which the statute
makers enacted the law, should be adopted.
While interpreting the Policy for Promoting Generation of Electricity from Biomass-2010,
Hon'ble Court has held that rule of interpretation says that a statute must be read as a whole
and the provisions of a statute should be construed with reference to other provisions in the
same statute so as to make consistent enactment of the whole statute. If the court finds that
there is some inconsistency between the two provisions of the same statute, then it is the duty
of the court to remove the said inconsistency between the two provisions of the same statute,
so both the provisions can be made workable.
Another rule of interpretation is that in case of a doubt, it is always safe to take aid of
the object and purpose of the statute or the spirit behind it. If there is any doubt about the
12 | INTERNSHIP DIARY
words of a statute, then the interpretation which is harmonious with the subject of the
enactment and the object, with which the statute makers enacted the law, should be adopted.
There is a presumption that a registered letter has reached its destination by delivery
to the addressee under Section 114 (e) of the Evidence Act. But the presumption is
not absolute. If it is rebutted, evidence has to be led in proof of delivery. Such
evidence inter-alia can be of the Postman who had gone to deliver it. Service can be
said to be complete when the registered notice has either been delivered or it is
returned with endorsement of the Postman that it was refused acceptance. In the latter
event, evidence would again have to be led of the concerned, including the Postman.
A mere endorsement on the envelope that information had been given to the
Appellant without even examining the Postman in question cannot lead to an absolute
presumption of delivery as all possibilities remain open with regard to the time and
manner in which the endorsement may have actually been made.
The Court further held that the law of limitation has to be interpreted so as to advance
the cause of justice and not to defeat the ends of justice by relying on hyper-
technicalities.
While considering the Section 114(E) of Indian Evidence Act & Section 5 of Limitation Act
held that there is a presumption that a registered letter has reached its destination by delivery
13 | INTERNSHIP DIARY
to the addressee under Section 114 (e) of the Evidence Act. But the presumption is not
absolute. If it is rebutted, evidence has to be led in proof of delivery. Such evidence inter-alia
can be of the Postman who had gone to deliver it. Service can be said to be complete when
the registered notice has either been delivered or it is returned with endorsement of the
Postman that it was refused acceptance. In the latter event, evidence would again have to be

cannot lead to an absolute presumption of delivery as all possibilities remain open with
regard to the time and manner in which the endorsement may have actually been made.
The Court further held that the law of limitation has to be interpreted so as to
advance the cause of justice and not to defeat the ends of justice by relying on hyper
technicalities. The present was a matter relating to two human beings arising out of a
matrimonial relationship. It called for a level of sensitivity and humane approach on part of
the Family Judge rather than a mechanical approach of what may be otherwise a routine
litigation with regard to property or similar matters.
