Consider these statements about the General Clauses Act, 1897. I. It contains definitions of common terms used in Central Acts and Regulations. II. Its definitions apply wherever the context requires otherwise. Which is correct?

Only statement I is correct. The Act defines common terms for Central Acts and Regulations, but its definitions apply only unless the context otherwise requires. They therefore do not apply where the context demands a different meaning, which makes statement II wrong.

  1. AOnly I is correctCorrect
  2. BBoth I and II are correct
  3. COnly II is correct
  4. DNeither I nor II is correct

Explanation

Statement I is correct because the Act defines commonly used terms and lays down rules of construction. Statement II is wrong because the definitions apply unless the context requires otherwise, so they do not apply where the context is contrary.
