Understanding the Elusive Concept of "Legislative Intent" in Contract Law

contract clat_ug advanced definition_doubt

Bhai, I'm struggling to wrap my head around "legislative intent" in C.L.A.T. U.G. syllabus. Textbooks explain it like a vague, abstract concept, but I want to understand it concretely, in real-life context. Can anyone share an example of how legislative intent is used in a court judgment? Like, in Rangappa v. Government of Karnataka (2003), the court held that the intention of the legislature is to be gathered from the language used in the statute. But, how does this play out in a contract dispute? Any real-world example or explanation would be a huge help!
