Home Dictionary Name: delimitFrom, 'To'
From, 'To', when a period is delimited by statute or rule, which has both a beginning and an end and the word 'from' is used indicating the beginning, the opening days is to be excluded and if the last day is to be excluded the word 'to' is to be used. In order to exclude the first day of the period, the crucial thing to be noted is whether the period of limitation is delimited by a series of days or by any fixed period. This is intended to obviate the difficulties or inconvenience they may be caused to some parties. For instance, if a policy of insurance has to be good for one day from the 1st January, it might be valid only for a few hours after its execution and the party or the beneficiary in the insurance policy would not get reasonable time to lay claim, unless the 1st January is excluded from the period of computation, Tarun Prasad Chatterjee v. Dinanath Sharma, (2000) 8 SCC 649: AIR 2001 SC 36 (39). [General Clauses Act, 1897, s. 9]...
