May
May, Prima facie the word 'may' must be given its ordinary and natural meaning. Primarily it is permissive in its meaning and until the contrary is established the word 'may' in section 6 of the Criminal (Amendment) Act could be read to mean that 'It shall be lawful'.

Surajdeo Sinha, 1953 BLJR 571: 1954 Cr LJ 139: 1954 Pat 80.The word 'may' does not always import that the matter is discretionary with the court in exercising its functions. Similarly, 'shall' sometimes imports that the matter is entirely discretionary with the court in exercise of its functions, State of Uttar Pradesh v.
