Co Ordinate And Subordinate
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Co-ordinate and subordinate are terms often applied as a test to ascertain the doubtful meaning of clauses in an Act of Parliament. If thee be two, one of which is grammatically governed by the other, it is said to be subordinate to it; but if both are equally governed by some third clause, the two are called co-ordinate.
Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
