The rule is based on the general presumption of consistency in the Statue i.e. among various clauses and various provisions of the statute.Besides , there has to be consistency in the meaning of the term employed earlier.If the Congress has borrowed a term in the statute under consideration then the term shall be construed to have all the meanings assigned to it as it was assigned to it in the statute from which it is borrowed.This principle works very well with the statutes in pari Materia.[blogger]
And, finally, there is a general presumption that the same expression in a statute is presumed to be used in the same sense throughout an act. It follows, therefore, that where the wording is changed, a change in meaning is also presumed.
