Coca-Cola Company of Canada Ltd. v. Pepsi-Cola Company of Canada Ltd. AIR 1942 PC 40 it was clearly held that Dictionaries can always be referred to in order to ascertain not only the meaning of a word but also the general use of it. In this connection, Their Lordships observed as follows:

“While questions may sometimes arise as to the extent to which a Court may inform itself by reference to dictionaries there can, Their Lordships think, be no doubt that dictionaries may properly be referred to in order to ascertain not only the meaning of a word, but also the use to which the thing (if it be a thing) denoted by the word is commonly put.”
