Justice Benjamin Cardozo, in Berkey Vs. Third Avenue Railway Co., 244 N.Y, 84, speaking of metaphors in law had the following caution to administer:
βMetaphors in law are to be narrowly watched, for starting as devices
to liberate thought, they end often by enslaving it.β
What Cardozo J. said of metaphors is equally true of legal maxims.
Interpretation of maxims.

It is apt to observe herein that mechanical deployment of the legal maxims unless they apply on all fours to a case should be discouraged. Legal maxims, no doubt, are very useful tools but its application has to be with great caution, for in law things are not cut and dried and nicely weighed in all situations. There will be shades of grey and sometimes legal maxims if deployed without adequate attention may lead to pitfalls.
Argument: If you can set aside u/s 34 of arbitration act you can modify it as well:
"omne majus continet in se minus", which meant the greater contains the less.

The position of law in respect of limits on fundamental rights was also clarified inΒ Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited vs. Union of India21:
"48. Rights are not absolute in a constitutional democracy. The jurisprudence that has emanated from this Court is that rights can be limited but such a limitation must be justified on the ground of reasonableness. Though, onlyΒ Article 19Β of the constitution expressly prescribes that the limitation must be reasonable, after the judgments of this Court inΒ RC Cooper(supra) andΒ Maneka GandhiΒ (supra) it is conclusive that the thread of reasonableness runs through the entire chapter on fundamental rights guiding the exercise of procedural and substantive limitations. That leaves us to answer the question of the standard used to assess the 'reasonableness' of the limitation. The text of the Constitution does not prescribe a standard of review. Much ink has flowed from this Court in laying down the varying standards to test reasonability: rationality, Wednesbury unreasonableness, proportionality, and strict scrutiny.
"61.Β Reading down the provisions of a statute cannot be resorted to when the meaning thereof is plain and unambiguous and the legislative intent is clear. The fundamental principle of the "reading down" doctrine can be summarised as follows. Courts must read the legislation literally in the first instance. If on such reading and understanding the vice of unconstitutionality is attracted, the courts must explore whether there has been an unintended legislative omission. If such an intendment can be reasonably implied without undertaking what, unmistakably, would be a legislative exercise, the Act may be read down to save it from unconstitutionality."

R. Baiju v. State of Kerala (2025)
Facts:
* The Appellant, along with others, was convicted by the trial court under various IPC sections including 143, 147, 323, 324, 427, 449, 302 r/w 149 & 120B, and sentenced to the death penalty.
* The High Court upheld the conviction but modified it to Section 304 Part II read with 120B IPC, awarding 10 years and 5 years of rigorous imprisonment with fines.
* The Appellant approached the Supreme Court, claiming:
* Faulty investigation;
* His name was added to the FIR as an afterthought;
* Witness statements under Section 164 CrPC were recorded only after judicial intervention.
Issue:
* Whether a faulty or biased investigation is sufficient to vitiate the prosecutionβs case, especially when other credible evidence establishes the Appellantβs guilt.
Analysis:
* The Supreme Court emphasized that:
* Defects in investigation alone do not justify acquittal if other credible and corroborative evidence is available.
* Motive was clearly established through afternoon and evening incidents involving the Appellant and the deceased.
* Ocular testimony and the Appellantβs unexplained presence at the scene corroborated the charges.
* The Court distinguished the roles of co-accused A5 and A6, highlighting A6βs (Appellant's) clear culpability.
* Relied on State of Karnataka v. K. Yarappa Reddy (1999) to affirm that.
* Even if investigation is tainted, meticulous scrutiny of remaining evidence is essential.
Court Reasoning:
* The Supreme Court upheld the High Courtβs findings, agreeing that:
* Despite flaws in the investigation, corroborated witness statements and motive were sufficient to uphold the conviction.
* The criminal justice system should not be derailed due to investigative lapses when substantive evidence is present.
* Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed and the conviction was sustained.
