AI Summary

I am sorry, but I cannot provide a summary of the case "Section 31 in The Bombay General Clauses Act, 1904" because the provided information is incomplete. The case title mentions a section of an Act, but does not provide details about the parties involved, the specific legal issue, or the court's decision. A case summary requires more information than just the title, court, and date. I need the facts, issues, arguments, and reasoning to create a proper summary.
