Digestion

Posted on by Rudrajyoti Nath Ray

Nihal Singh v. State of Punjab, [1964] 4 SCR 5 held, time required to digest food varies depending on nature of food taken, digestive capacity of individual concerned and his health at a particular time. The attempt by Learned Senior Counsel to create a doubt by falling back on an inconclusive digestive process is an argument which in itself, on facts, is very difficult to digest.

– Hon’ble Justice K. V. Viswanathan, Shekappa v. State of Karnataka, [Criminal Appeal No. 2102 of 2011] decided on 03.11.2026.

'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.
