      Question

      According to which rule of interpretation meaning of

      words should be known from its accompanying or associating words?
      A Mischief rule Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Golden rule Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Noscitur a sociis Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Ejusdem generis. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Literal rule. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      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.
