Mimansa Rules of Interpretation

Prof. Kamlesh M. Pandya

Abstract :

When any ambiguity prevails in any act or statute, the court has to interpret the same. Our attitudes for the interpretation purpose have always been towards Western Philosophers. We have forgotten that the Hindu Jurisprudence is also the means of construction for the interpretation. The Srutti, Smrutti and Puranas are the best examples. The concept and concepts of Hindu Law help the interpreter or a jurist to meet the end of the justice. Mimansa Rules is one of the examples of them. We can use Hindu Saastras for this purpose.
