Now, preliminaries out of the way, what in blazes am I, a talking dictionary? You see, precision in speech ought to be a lawyer’s  forte.  I must be clear. To the reader, and  others , those out to find something from which they can try to hang me, and the judges before whom the hangsters (yes, term I just coined!) will take the matter…unless “ accelerated justice ” remains fashionable.
Satyameva Jayathe is the motto. Parliament still hears…  alleged  lies. How  alleged ? Look up Parliament’s record of privilege motions for lying to Parliament. MPs routinely accuse each other of lying. We elect people to steer the country, not lie to each other. Since accusations fly across the spectrum, and none are impeached for lying to parliament, we take it neither group wants the other impeached for fear tomorrow the boot might be on the other foot. Alternatively, the allegation of lying is  itself a lie …which brings me full circle. Obviously, we are oblivious to the obvious: either  someone has lied , and could grace a “Correctional Facility” or  someone has lied that someone else lied , in which case  that someone  ought to be a “State Guest” at such facility. The “State Guesthouse” being empty of either variety, leads to conclusion lies are “in”, as  fashionable . Lies are intended to deceive. Any act fitted to deceive, is fraud, s.17(4), Indian Contract Act.
