Definition :

Technical, means what is characteristic of a particular art, science, profession, or trade, (New Webster's Dictionary of the English Language), Central Board of Direct Taxes v. Oberoi Hotels (India) Pvt. Ltd., (1998) 4 SCC 552.

The word 'technical' is described in the Concise Oxford Dictionary to mean a particular art, science or of applied science or vocational training dealing with applied science. It is trite to say that when a word has many etymological meanings attributed to it, the same takes its true colour from the text and context. The dictionary meaning of the word 'technical' is also 'professional' and is used in contradiction with pure sciences, Dean Goa Medical College, Sudhir Kumar Solanki, AIR 2001 SC 3422 (3423): (2001) 7 SCC 645.
