Are the provisions of a governmental policy interpreted like the provisions of a statute?

Paragraph 34Having considered the matter in detail, we are of the opinion that the provisions of a policy, such as the Zero Period Policy, are not to be interpreted like the provisions of a statute. When interpreting the provisions of a policy, it is necessary for courts to consider both a micro and a macro perspective of the matter. A court must consider the purpose and object of the clause being interpreted and, at the same time, ensure that any interpretation reached sub-serves the broader goals and purposes of the policy as a whole. In this perspective, we are of the opinion that Clause 5 of the Zero Period Policy is intended to ensure that a developer has easy, effective, and legitimate access to the allotted plot and is able to proceed with construction. This Clause is not to be interpreted so as to disapply the benefit of the Zero Period Policy in a situation where a developer struggles to gain access to the allotted plot and barely manages to keep construction ongoing. The circumstances in which a developer has to race against time, keeping in mind contractual and financial obligations, are well-known to everyone in the real estate industry.
