It is permissible to read 'or' as 'and' and vice-versa if some other part of the same statute, or the legislative intent clearly spelled out, require that to be done. Fakir Mohd. v. Sita Ram (2002) 1 SCC 741....

[Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 (102 of 1956), s. 2 (f)]The definition of the word 'medicine' in s. 2(f) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 is too wide to determine if it includes cardiology. It is also not necessary to go into the dictionary meaning of the expression as it is clear from the relevant Regulations that medicine and surgery are general subjects and Cardiology and Orthopaedics are their respective specialities. Where general subject such as medicine or surgery is being dealt with in a regulation, the specialist branch under it would be covered, though not vice versa, because if one wants to hold a post in the specialist branch he must of necessity have teaching experience in the specialist branch. Undisputably, one qualifying for M.D. (Medicine) has to learn the subject of Cardi...
