Which of the following was said by Chinnappa Reddy J in Reserve Bank of India v. Peerless General Finance & Investment Co. (1987)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A

He added that neither can be ignored and that the best interpretation makes the textual match the contextual, so the options that drop either text or context are wrong.
