Question
According to which rule of interpretation meaning of
words should be known from its accompanying or associating words?Solution
The “Noscitur a Sociis” i.e. “It is known by its associates”. In other words, meaning of a word should be known from its accompanying or associating words. It is not a sound principle in interpretation of statutes, to lay emphasis on one word disjuncted from its preceding and succeeding words. A word in a statutory provision is to be read in collocation with its companion words. Although, this principle has some inherent limitations.
