Precedents – What cannot be done directly-cannot be done indirectly – It is a settled proposition of law that what cannot be done directly, is not permissible to be done obliquely, meaning thereby, whatever is prohibited by law to be done, cannot legally be effected by an indirect and circuitous contrivance on the principle of "quando aliquid prohibetur, prohibetur at omne per quod devenitur ad illud" – An authority cannot be permitted to evade a law by "shift or contrivance" – Jagir Singh Vs. Ranbir Singh reported in AIR 1979 SC 381, M.C.Mehta Vs. Kamal Nath and others reported in AIR 2000 SC 1997 and Sant Lal Gupta and others Vs. Modern Co-operative Group Housing Society Ltd. and others reported in JT 2010 (11) SC 273, relied on.
