In Amar Chandra Chakraborty v. Collector of Excise, Tripura (1972), the Supreme Court set out the conditions for applying the ejusdem generis rule. Which of the following is NOT one of those conditions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The conditions include an enumeration of specific words forming a class, a general term following them, and no indication of a different legislative intent. One condition is that the class is NOT exhausted by the enumeration, so "the class or category is exhausted by the enumeration" is not a condition; if the class were exhausted, the general words would have nothing left to cover.
