Time to Time

When an investigation reveals new materials to be confronted with, a need for custody might arise subject to satisfaction of a Magistrate.

State of Rajasthan v. Basant Agrotech (India) Ltd., (2013) 15 SCC 1 dealt with the words ‘time to time’: “Black’s Law Dictionary defined as follows, “occasionally, at intervals, now and then.” Stroud’s Judicial Dictionary stated, “from time to time – “as occasion may arise” [as per William J, Bryan v. Arthur, (1839) 11 Ad & E 108].”

– Hon’ble Justice M.M. Sundresh, V. Senthil Balaji v. State, [Criminal Appeal Nos. 2284-2285 of 2023].

'The Last Word' seeks to include not only wise and witty sayings but also curiosities. These words are not of obligation but of delight. I am not alone in my refusal to believe, law is tedious. For all who escaped these percipient eyes, mea culpa maxima. History, after all, has many cunning passages, contrived corridors and issues.
