Satisfaction

Details

Satisfaction is the mental act and after being satisfied what is done is the result of that mental act. When learned Tribunal Judge ordered publication of the notification in the daily newspapers as prescribed in section 11 of the Anti‑Terrorism Act  it indicated that the learned Tribunal Judge was mentally satisfied that theaccused persons had become absconders. The word “satisfaction” need not be written before passing order under section 11(1) of the Act for publication of the notification in the daily newspapers. The absence of the word 'satisfaction' in the order cannot prevent the High Court Division from looking into the background which can be gathered from the case record leading to the publication of notification. The fact that notification was ordered to be published in the daily newspapers and it was so published cannot be overlooked simply because the learned Tribunal Judge did not state that he obviously accepted the statement in the charge sheet that the accused persons including the petitioners were absconding since the date of occurrence and they could not be arrested and produced before the trial Court by the police. One consequence of the rule of literal construction is that wide word should be given wide construction.
