Wide discretion conferred on the Government under a statute and challenged as arbitrary has been upheld on the ground that the discretion so conferred can be exercised only in furtherance of the object and policy of the Act as given out by the long title and preamble and is thus not unfettered or unguided. Though short titles do not play a significant role in the interpretative process the long title of the act is a part of the Act and is admissible as an aid to its construction. It can be referred for the purpose of ascertaining the policy, scope and purpose of the act.
