New
New, the word 'new'. The Oxford English Dictionary lists the following, amongst others, against that word: 'not existing before; now made, or brought into existence, for the first time....not previously known; now known for the first time.' If these were the only meanings of the word, the contention might have considerable force. But the word 'new' is also stated in the same dictionary to mean: Coming as a resumption or repetition of some previous act or thing; starting afresh....restored after demolition, decay, disappearance, etc....other than the former or old; different from that previously existing, known, or used. Thus a set of things which is different from that immediately preceding it may well be called new. Furthermore, a situation which once existed and then ceased to exist (disappeared) may properly attract the word 'new' on re-appearance, P. Venkaiah v. G.
