Solution

While performing the function of interpreting provision of a statute, the court can take help from within the statute or even outside the statute. The former is called ‘internal aids’ and the latter is called ‘external aids’. The internal aids include title, preamble, headings, marginal notes, illustrations, punctuations, proviso, definition or interpretation clauses, explanations, schedules and punctuation.
