134. Principle: Where two provisions of the same statute appear to conflict, the court should interpret them so that effect is given to both, if possible (harmonious construction). Facts: One section of an Act gives all citizens a right to sell goods on public streets, while another empowers municipalities to regulate street trading for public safety. A vendor claims that no regulation is allowed. Decide.

     कThe first section prevails, so no regulation is allowed खThe provisions are read together: vendors may trade, subject to reasonable municipal regulation गThe second section prevails, so street trading can be banned completely घBoth provisions are void for inconsistency

Principle: A plaintiff must include in his suit the whole of the claim he is entitled to make on a cause of action; a part he omits without the court's permission cannot be claimed in a later suit. Facts: B owes A rent for 2079 and 2080 under the same lease, both overdue. A sues for the 2080 rent only and obtains a decree. He later sues for the 2079 rent. Decide.

     कThe second suit is barred, because the omitted claim arose from the same cause of action खThe second suit can proceed, because the 2079 rent is still unpaid गThe second suit can proceed, because it concerns a different year घA can recover the 2079 rent by executing the first decree
