The 16th Edition has been thoroughly revised and enlarged to present authoritative interpretation of judicially defined words, terms, phrases and maxims. Important words and phrases defined in judgments reported in all major law journals of India have been covered. This edition also includes entries extracted from recent enactments such as the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013, the Companies Act 2013, the National Food Security Act 2013, the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act 2013, and the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Act 2013
