Doctrine of Casus Omissus means if a particular case is omitted from the term of the statute, though such a case is within the obvious purpose of the statute and the omission appears to have been done by accident or inadvertence, the court cannot include the omitted case by supplying the omission.
Casus omissus thus reflects the age-old tussle of the courts and the legislature. This is because the Courts are not inclined to interfere when a casus omissus is revealed by the legislature.
