In this paper we prove the Theorem: A group satisfying the law (1) [x, y] = [u, v, w], where u, v, w are the entries from the set {x, x-1, y, y-1} is always abelian. Earlier a few cases of this theorem were proved by Gupta. It is also proved that a group satisfying the law = [x, y, x] is always abelian.
