Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “pass muster” and its meaning is “be acceptable, be practical, be justifiable, be convincing, make sense, be good enough, be adequate, be sufficient, fit the bill”.
Example Sentence: Provisions that allow prosecution for money-laundering even without the scheduled offence being established and amendments deleting safeguards have passed muster with the Bench, solely on the ground that these were for removing lacunae (gap) pointed out by international evaluators of the efficacy of the law. Save for an odd comment that the Special Court could examine the documents to decide on continuing detention, there is nothing in the judgment that will attenuate (reduce) the law’s rigours.
This phrase is present in The Hindu article Narrow view: On the Supreme Court’s PMLA verdict and click here to read it.
