Home Dictionary Name: woolWool
Wool, the word 'wool' has been used therein only in the sense in which the word 'Oon' is understood in the trade by the dealer and the consumer in the popular sense namely that which people conversant with the word 'Oon' would attribute to it. If any one goes to the market to purchase wool (Oon) he would be offered only sheep-hair and not goat-hair or camel hair or for the matter of that the hair of any other animal. Indeed, there is intrinsic evidence in the Schedule itself of the fact that in the English version the word 'wool (Oon)' and in the Hindi version 'Oon' only at Item No. 41 has been used in the same popular sense namely that of sheep-hair, Madanlal Manoharlal v.
