Solution

This  rule  of  construction  is  adopted  in  case  of  conflict  between   two or  more statutes or between  two  or  more  parts  of  the  provision  of  the  same  statute.  According  to  this  rule, every statute has a purpose or intent as per law and therefore, be treated as a whole. Only that  interpretation  is  adopted  which  is consistent  with  all  the  provisions  of  the  statute. However,  when  it  is impossible  to  harmonize  both  the  provisions,  the  court’s  decision regarding the provision shall prevail. The interpretation which results in hardship, injustice,  inconvenience  or  anomaly  is  avoided  and  the  one  which  supports  the  sense of justice  is  adopted.  The  interpretation  which  conforms  to  justice and  fair  play  preventing injustice should be favoured by the Court. In  case  there  are  two  provisions  in  a  statute,  which  are  apparently  in  conflict  with  each other,  then  they  should  be  interpreted  such  that  effect  can  be  given  to  both  and  that  the construction  which  renders  either  of  them  inoperative  and  useless  should  not be  adopted except in the last resort.
