SHABANA PARVEEN VS Malik MOHSIN HASSAN RASHEED Provision in a statute---Whether directory or mandatory---Principle---The test to determine whether a provision is directory or mandatory is by ascertaining the legislative intent behind the same---The general rule expounded by the Supreme Court is that the usage of the word "shall" generally carries the connotation that a provision is mandatory in nature---However, other factors such as the object and purpose of the statute and inclusion of penal consequences in cases of non-compliance also serve as an instructive guide in deducing the nature of the provision.
