Point of order

Point of order, a point of order is primarily intended to determine the interpretation of the rules and regulations governing the meeting: it does not contemplate any discussion on any event. A claim that a candidate is subject to a disqualification cannot be decided without evidence, and discussion such an objection cannot, therefore, form the subject of a point of order, Surat Singh v. Kishori Lal, (1969) 2 SCC 487 (491). [D.M.C. Procedure and Conduct of Business Regulation, 1958, Rule 33]...

Harmonious construction, it is a recognised rule of interpretation of statutes that the expressions used therein should ordinarily be understood in a sense in which they best harmonise with the object of the statute, and which effectuate the object of the Legislature.

Commissioner, Sales Tax, AIR 1963 SC 1207 (1213)....
