πŸ›οΈ The Hidden Power of Legal Side Notes

🌟 You know those little headings above legal sections and tiny notes in the margins? Most people ignore them, but should they? This episode reveals when these seemingly minor details can make or break a legal case!

πŸ’‘ What You'll Discover:

  • πŸ” Why the main text is king - but not always the only ruler
  • βš–οΈ When headings and margin notes become legal lifesavers
  • 🎯 The simple test courts use to decide what really matters
  • πŸ’‘ How unclear laws get clarified using these "side" materials

πŸš€ Real Cases Discussed:

  • πŸ’Ž Union of India vs. National Federation of the Blind - The landmark case that set the rules for using headings in court
  • ⭐ Board of Muslim Wakfs, Rajasthan vs. Radha Krishna - When headings pointed one way but the law meant something else
  • 🌟 Kalawati Bai vs. Sauriya Bai - Why clear language makes side notes irrelevant

⚑ The Golden Rule:
