The laws made by democraticmeans are ensured by the judiciary byupholding the rule of law. Judiciary is theprotector of fundamental rights and anarbiter in our federal set up. However, asnoted by the Law Commission in itsreport no. 230 on judicial reforms it oftentakes 10-20-30 or even more yearsbefore a matter is finally decided. Suchjustice is meaningless as by that time,the litigants would have aged and someof the litigants to whom the justice wouldhave mattered may not be even alive!

It is evident that we needwidespread reforms to establish andmaintain a rule of law. Reforms aredesirable in three broad areas – Delay,Accountability and JudicialIndependence. My time being limited, Iwould restrict myself to proposingsolutions to mitigate delay.

To begin with, a NationalCommission may be constituted toconduct research on simplifying britishprocedures under CPC and CrPC. Thelaw commission has already suggestedthat oral arguments may be substitutedby written notes. Procedure should be ameans to an end and not an end in itselfand justice should not be sacrificed atthe altar of procedure!

The Supreme Court of UnitedKingdom started in 2009 has 12 judgesand India with 20 times more populationhas only 25 judges in the Supreme Court.Thus, to state the obvious, we shouldhave more number of judges. The lawcommission has recommended setting

Need for Judicial ReformsMr. Jayesh Gokhale

II LL.B.Nani Palkhiwala Memorial Elocution Competition

up evening courts to utilize the existinginfrastructure. Evening courts have theadded advantage that litigants need notcompromise on their routine schedule.But merely having more judges is notsufficient. We should have at least 4benches of Supreme Court in fourcorners of the country. To illustrate, if aperson from Kolhapur wants to file a writpetition under article 32 of theConstitution, does the state expect himto go to New Delhi? Is it not fair on thestate’s part to allow him to do so atMumbai?

The Law Commission has opinedthat the Government being the biggestlitigant should not contest for the sake ofcontesting. To go a step further, we mayhave separate tribunals working underthe Judiciary and not the Executive toexclusively deal in matters in whichGovernment is a litigant. This will easeoff considerable pressure on existingcivil courts.

We have a beautiful piece oflegislation called the ConsumerProtection Act. This act can bestrengthened by having mobile justicevans roaming across taluka places onpre-designated days of week. If a mobilejustice van is not feasible, we may alsoexplore the option of proceedingsthrough video conferencing. That wouldbe real consumer protection.

In the domain of Alternate DisputeResolution, we have recognizedarbitration via The Indian Arbitration andConciliation Act. The issue with

arbitration is that the arbitrator may notenjoy the same protection that a judgedoes. How can we expect him to beinvulnerable against coercion/undueinfluence and yet deliver justice? Instead,we may establish permanent arbitrationtribunals across various places in eachmajor city and the courts would refermatters to these tribunals who may takeassistance of technical experts asdeemed necessary.

The next point I would like to raiseis about the quality and finality ofjudgments. Judgments must be clear,decisive and unambiguous. Thereafter,the higher courts must narrow down theadmission of appeals and restrict themto only those cases where there has beengross miscarriage of justice.

Finally, I would propose to usetechnology to deliver justice. We areaware that law evolves perpetually. All

courts may be connected by virtue ofwhich every judge will have access tolatest position of law on any subject. Thiswill ensure that justice does not rely uponthe competence of an advocate. Furtheras per the recommendations of lawcommission, cases filed on similar pointsmay be clubbed together with the helpof technology. By using technology, ascientific data may be obtained of thetype of cases which clog the judicialprocess and specific research may thenbe conducted on such types.

To conclude, I would like to submitthat having great laws is meaningless ifwe are unable to enforce them effectively.It is for these reasons, Dr. Ambedkar saidthat article 32 which enforcesfundamental rights is the heart and soulof the Constitution. But merely havingpaper provisions would be pointlessunless law is ensued by efficient deliveryof justice.

INTRODUCTION

The field of media in India hasundergone many changes since thelaunch of first newspaper-The BengalGazette in 1780. Gradually radio and TVgot added to the bouquet of mediaoptions and post economic reforms of1991 a number of satellite and cablechannels were launched in India. Todayis the era of new media -internet, mobile,micro blogging sites, social media, et all.

Article 19(1)(a) of Indian Constitutiontalks about the freedom of speech andexpression given to every Indian and this

Media Council Bill 2010An Analysis

Preethi ChamikuttyIII LL.B.

includes the freedom of press. Just likeany fundamental right, freedom of speech& expression is a fundamental right. Thisright was first identified by theHonourable Supreme Court in BrijBhushan and Another Vs. The State OfDelhi, where a full bench held that Section7(1)(c) of East Punjab Public Safety Act,1949 was violative of freedom of speechand expression. The exact words ofjudgement are “The imposition of pre-censorship on a journal is a restriction onthe liberty of the press which is anessential part of the right to freedom ofspeech and expression declared by art.

The privilege associated with themedia industry has sometime resulted inskewing of news to benefit some personin particular. Since the advent of privatecable channels the fight for larger shareof advertising monies has led to‘manufacturing’ of news. The better thecontent…the higher theviewership…more the advertiser moneyand more the channel’s profit.Sensationalisation of news better knownas ‘Breaking News’ is a shortcut many TVchannels discovered to better profits. Asingle footage run over and over again,with the same information being repeatedacross channels is a common sight wehave all come across. The most recentexample of this was when Shivsainiksattacked The Times Of India office onJanuary 28, 2012. Unfortunately this sortof reporting has led to the erosion ofpublic confidence in media and todayevery Breaking News is received withsome amount of scepticism. There havealso been instances of false news beingreported by news channels under thegarb of ‘Exclusive’ to get higherviewership. However such instances offake news are few and far in number andhave been dealt with by authoritiesconcerned in a strict manner.

PURPOSE

With this background in mind let uslook at the Media Council Bill, 2010. Inthe words of Shri Prakash Javdekar whohas tabled the bill, the Media Council Billaims “to check the menace before it goesbeyond control. It is for the council toensure that the media does not cross thelakshman rekha and maintains certain

dignity and parameters is so far as itseditorial or journalistic contents areconcerned.” The Bill itself says that itaims to provide for the establishment ofa Media Council and certain stringentmeasures to regulate electronic and printmedia and for matters connectedtherewith and incidental thereto.

Closer look at Media Council Bill, 2010

The Media Council Bill aims toprovide for establishment of a MediaCouncil and to draw up stringentmeasures to regulate electronic and printmedia and for matters connectedtherewith and incidental thereto. The Billis divided into 13 Sections and thedifferent sections have been categorisedas under:

Short title, extent andcommencement of the Bill - Section 1.The Bill is aimed at the entire nation, itwill cover whole of India and will come toforce once the Central Governmentmakes such notification in the OfficialGazette.

Definitions - Section 2. Definitionsof various entities that the Bill deals withare discussed here. Chairperson;Council; Electronic media; Member; Printmedia; Journalists; Editors;Management; Prescribed; Editor;Newspaper and Working journalist arethe terms defined in the Bill. The definitionof Electronic Media given in the Bill is alimited one. In today’s age of internet andmobile telephony, the scope of ElectronicMedia should be extended to cover thesemediums as well. It is essential to includenew media like internet, mobile phone,social media sites, micro-blogging sitesand blogs under the definition ofElectronic Media. Similarly ElectronicMedia should also include emailnewsletters, SMS, MMS, audio & videoclips and any other form of information

Establishment of the MediaCouncil - Section 3. This Sectiontouches upon the date from which theMedia Council will come into effect; statesthat the Council will have perpetualsuccession and a common seal; can holdand dispose of property both movableand immovable and shall by the saidname sue and be sued. The head officeof the Council shall be located at New

Delhi. This Section restricts itself to thevery basics and does not shed any lightas to how the Council will have perpetualsuccession. It does not talk about theprocedure to follow to select membersand who cannot be considered for thepost of Council membership.

Composition of the Council -Section 4. This Section says that theMedia Council will consist of Chairpersonand thirty other members. The break-upof those 30 members is as under:

Across the Section there are anumber of references to “nomination inaccordance with such procedure”,however nowhere has the procedurebeen laid down. Nor does the Bill giveany idea if the procedure for nominationwill be borrowed from any other existinglegislation.

The Committee appointing theChairperson consists of Vice-President ofIndia, the Speaker of Lok Sabha, and aperson elected by the members of RajyaSabha in a prescribed manner. The VicePresident of India is also the Chairmanof Rajya Sabha, so the need to have onemore person from Rajya Sabha in theselection committee is baffling. Alsoconspicuous by her/his absence in theCommittee is the Minister of Information& Broadcasting, who is incharge of thisportfolio in the Cabinet. It would beimportant to have her/his say in theselection of the Chairperson to the MediaCouncil.

The Section is also silent about thequalification of the person who can beconsidered for the post of Chairperson.There is no clarity what should be theantecedents of the person who can beconsidered for the post of Chairpersonof Media Council.

Just like the definition of ElectronicMedia does not include new media(internet, mobile, social networks), eventhe composition of the council does notmake provision for representation fromnew media. Given the changes in themedia landscape it is very important tohave new media within the scope of this

Bill as well have representatives torepresent that segment.

The Section also does not talk aboutwho cannot be part of the Compositionof the Council, despite having therequired qualifications to be part of theCouncil. This is an important aspect assuch a Bill should be free from bias andvested interest. Members comprising theCouncil should not be in a position toinfluence decisions of the Councilbecause of duties they perform in thenormal course of their lives.

Salary, allowances and terms andconditions of Chairperson, membersand employees – Section 5. This Sectionis very sketchy as its does not give detailsabout the salary & allowance is to be paidto Chairperson and other members of theCouncil.

Functions and power of theCouncil - Section 6. The tone of thisSection is very punitive and does nothave any reference to the whether theCouncil will undertake any welfareactivities for the media fraternity. TheSection only lists the powers that theCouncil has and does not give detailsabout what functions it will perform. Primafacie it looks like the Section only has theintention of giving direction to media andconsiders that to be its main function.Section 6(4) talks about the report of theCouncil on journalistic ethics andcontents shall be final and binding onmedia. Such a report is violative of thefreedom of press that is guaranteed bythe Constitution of India. It is looks like theaim of Sec 6(4) is to restrict the freedomof press. Such intention has been clearlystruck down by the Honourable SupremeCourt in the case of Brij Bhushan andAnother Vs. The State Of Delhi. The ideato bind media as to the contents of theMedia Council report implies telling the

media what can and cannot be part ofthe content they put out — a violation ofArticle 19(1)(a) of Indian Constitution.

Procedure for complaint andinquiry – Section 7. This Section tells usthat the Media Council will conductinquiry into complaints made before itagainst any newspaper, news channel orelectronic media and working journalistand electronic media editor. The Sectionalso mysteriously refers to filing acomplaint to the Council in such formand manner, as may be prescribed,however there is no elaboration on whatthe form and manner is. One is leftwondering if the complaint should be inwriting or oral. Whether complaints sentover email would amount to complaintsis also not clear.

Power of censure – Section 8. ThisSection mirrors Sec 14 of Press CouncilAct, 1978 in some respect and talksabout the ways in which the MediaCouncil can enforce action on errantparties in the media. Considerablethought seems to have gone into thedrafting of this Section and many countsof action against non-compliance havebeen dealt with.

Levy of fees – Section 9. ThisSection says that the Council for thepurpose of performing its functions underthis Act will levy fees upon the InformationDirectorate of the Central and StateGovernment, at the rate of one per centof its budgetary allocation foradvertisements released to both printand electronic media in the precedingfinancial year. One wonders why theInformation Directorate should becharged for the functioning of the MediaCouncil. The Information Directorate isresponsible for informationdissemination and publicizingprogrammes, policies and activities ofthe State/ Central for citizens’ welfare.

Grants by the Central Government– Section 10. This Section says that bylaw made by Parliament, the CentralGovernment will pay to the Councilgrants such sums of money as theCentral Government may considernecessary for the performance of thefunctions of the Council. This is inaddition to the one per cent budgetaryallocation that the Media Councilprovides for in Section 9.

Fund of the Council – Section 11.This Section discusses the manner inwhich the Central Government will fundthe Media Council from time to timethrough grants and advances, how thesefunds will be invested and howexpenditure made from this fund will beclassified. This Section is identical toSection 18 of the Press Council Act, 1978.

Annual report to be laid before theHouses of Parliament – Section 12.Information about the annual report to beprepared by the Council is enlisted in thisSection. The contents of the annual reportwould include activities done by theCouncil during the previous year, anaccount of the standards of newspapers,news channel and news agencies,factors affecting them and statement ofaudited accounts. This will then beforwarded to the Central Government belaid before both Houses of Parliament.This Section is identical to Section 20 ofthe Press Council Act, 1978.

Power to make rules – Section 13.This Section grants power to the CentralGovernment to make rules by notificationin the Official Gazette for carrying out thepurposes of this Act.

The Media Council Bill is similar tothe Press Council Act, 1978 in the spiritof what it intends to do. There are fewsections of these two that are alsoidentical, which are listed here:

2010 in many ways is trying to addressissues covered by these already enactedlegislations or proposed laws.

DUPLICITY OF LAWS

The Indian legislative system isalready plagued with the problem ofpending cases. The Eleventh FinanceCommission recommended a schemefor creation of 1734 Fast Track Courts inthe country for disposal of long pendingSessions and other cases. From this weunderstand that intention of theGovernment is fast disposal of cases andto avoid unwanted delay of justice.Keeping in mind this sentiment of theGovernment having yet another Act todeal with media is redundant. What couldinstead be done is, the Press Council Act,1978 be amended to include satellite TV,cable channels, radio and new mediawithin its purview. The Press Council Act,1978 should be made more robust indealing with the press part of media sothat it becomes a well-roundedlegislation which shall benefit the citizensof our country. Having a single legislationwill also reduce the confusion in mindsof lawyers as to which Act to refer to formatters related to media. Procedural lawsof Civil Procedure Code (CPC) andCriminal Procedure Code (CrPC) shouldbe used to deal with the procedural partof any issues related to media. A singleplatform to address all media-relatedissues is the need of the hour and theParliament, alongwith law makers andexperts in the field of media should worktowards drafting such a comprehensivelegislation.

NEW MEDIA

Today is the era of new media.Mobile telephony coupled withbroadband has unleashed the power ofmedia like never before. The emergenceof social networks like Facebook,

Google+, micro-blogging sites likeTwitter has empowered the citizens of ourcountry like never before. Today it is notjust the stalwarts in the media businesswhose opinion count, people areincreasingly turning to their online peersand groups for opinions. The recent furoreabout Indian government’s attempt toban 21 internet sites was met with muchopposition from owners and users alike.New media is therefore a very integralpart of media today and any legislationthat is enacted should take care thatthere are enough provisions to deal withthis aspect of the media business.

SUGGESTIONS

Some areas that I think the MediaCouncil Bill, 2010 should definitelyconsider are:

1. Include New Media within the scopeof this Bill.

2. Include the Minister of Informationand Broadcasting in the selectioncommittee selecting Chairperson ofthe Media Council.

3. Make the Media Council Bill acomprehensive legislation dealingwith every aspect of the mediabusiness-complete with detailedinformation on procedure to befollowed, compensation to be paidto the members, fees to be levied onmedia institutions, punishment/finefor any offences/non-compliancescommitted and any other matter thatis required to have a well-roundedlegislation.

4. If possible not to enact the MediaCouncil Bill, but instead amend thePress Council Act, 1978 to deal withissues related to media that itcurrently lacks in.

CONCLUSION

Media today is no longer what it

From being passionateto inform general public about truth of amatter, media today has to fight demonsof being paid, biased and some caseseven untrue. Given the dynamic changesthat the field of media has undergone itis very important to have a legislationwhich can keep it in check, so as toensure it continues to play the role ofbeing an informer and an opinion leader.

There is no denying that the fakenews incident that happened during theAssembly Elections in 2009 was a blackspot on journalism but it is not right toterm this incident as a “menace”, as ShriJavdekar has. There have been manyinstances of how journalism hasexposed the dark side of the society. Themurder of senior crime reporter J Dey isone most recent examples of howjournalists have sometimes paid withtheir life to bring news to the fore.

There are many perils of being in themedia business - the threat of dominanceby political parties, threats fromunderworld, threats from corporates,threats from builders and in generalhooliganism is making journalists actunder fear from various factions of thesociety. Reports of attacks on journalistsin person and on media offices havefound their way to prime time again andagain. Despite attempts to sensitize thegovernment about this problem ofbullying, the government has turned adeaf ear to problems faced by those inmedia. This raises serious questions inthe minds of the media fraternity aboutthe real intention of the governmentbehind enacting legislations to regulatemedia.

This sort of mistrust of each other hasresulted in the lack of interest from themedia fraternity when approached with

proposals like the Media Council Bill orthe Broadcasting Services RegulationBill. It is important to have acomprehensive media legislation toregulate media, but at the same time thesaid legislation should have enoughteeth to bring to book people who stopjournalists from performing their duties.Acts of hooliganism has to be seriouslycondemned and miscreants should bebrought to book under the media act.Only if such a wholesome legislation canbe enacted, there will be true prevalenceof justice. Else Indian media willcontinued to be made a scapegoat forthings it did and did not do.

Jawaharlal Nehru once famouslysaid, “I would rather have a completelyfree press with all the dangers involvedin the wrong use of that freedom than asuppressed and regulated press.” It willappropriate to keep these words in mindwhile framing any legislation to regulatemedia.

Are we breeding a generation ofbrats? Everywhere around us you seelittle tots who know exactly what they wantand how to get it! They know what outfitsthey want to wear, the accessories thatgo with it, what movies to see, music tolisten to, who to be friends with and whoto ignore! They are very clear about theirlikes and dislikes, beliefs and opinions.It’s a little unnerving to watch kids asyoung as five or six years, trying to talkthe talk and walk the walk, strutting aboutlike a bunch of mini-adults. And the worstpart is that parents encourage them byapplauding and cheering them along!

Nowadays most parents, do notteach their offspring the differencebetween right and wrong. Maybe, it’s anunfamiliar concept to the parentsthemselves or maybe they just could notbe bothered about it. Maybe they justdon’t have the time in their career-drivenlives to discipline and nurture their kids.

A friend’s sister, the youngest of foursiblings, was always treated with kidgloves by the whole family who wereperennially amused by all the “cute”things she said and did but are nowhanging their heads in despair andshame at the wild, uncontrollable,obnoxious young woman she hasbecome.

We know we have a serious problemwhen parents start defending or justifyingthe actions of their little terrors. Like thisrelative, who proudly announced that hismentally challenged niece, the only childof his baby sister, would not be allowedto visit his family and his home becauseof his “aggressive” daughter! Or, like this

Brat BrigadeProf. Manisha M. Wagh

woman who accused her harassedneighbours of stifling the “free spirit” ofher “ladla” son, by complaining to theSociety management of his nocturnalactivities of playing loud music, burstingcrackers and generally creating anuisance!

Spare the rod and spoil the child isthe rule followed by most parents who donot believe in reprimanding oradmonishing their juvenile delinquentsat all. “They’re kids, they’ll learn” is theirfavourite refrain. Absolutely true, but ifthey don’t learn from their parents andtheir family, who is going to teach them??Young children need their parents to berole models, to mould and shape theircharacters and their habits so that theygrow into caring, well-mannered,responsible and considerate adults.

In their haste to grow up, kids do noteven follow simple basic etiquette likegreeting someone they visit your homeon a donation-collecting spree buthappily ignore you once they havedivested you of your money. Brazen,inconsiderate, selfish and rude, is thatwhat we want the future of our country tobe? There are frequent reports of anincrease in serious crimes committed bythe misguided youth of our society.Encoutering a well-mannered, polite andconsiderate child in today’s world, maybe a rare occurrence but when ithappens, it is absolutely refreshing anddelightful. We need to urgently ensurethat today’s youngsters are led to the rightpath to enable them to grow into thebright stars of tomorrow.

THOMAS JEFFERSON, “The care ofhuman life and happiness, and not theirdestruction, is the first and only legitimateobject of good government.”Advancements in contemporary Medicaltechnologies have served to denyindividuals the right to die. However, itmay be argued that euthanasia hasemerged with the purpose of reclaimingthat right. Accoording to Webster'sdictionary, the term euthanasia is definedas an ‘act of killing or permitting deathon incurable sick persons in a painlessway, for reasons of mercy.’

Did you ever think about what youwould do once you were no longer ableto take care of yourself? The pain and thesuffering that you may go through andwithout your consent a doctor decides topull the plug on you. Although that maybe known as human euthanasia.

Why should someone want tolegalize such a thing? Don’t you valueyour life enough to hope to stay alive? Ifeuthanasia were legal, how wouldpeople think of doctors who practicedthis form of homicide? Doctors aresupposed to be our healers andprotectors of the sick and disabled. Weas patients hope to find reliefs andcomfort from our health physicians, notquick judgement on who has the right tolive based on their condition.

Illegal in all countries, with theexceptions of Belgium, Luxemberg andNetherlands, euthanasia is still practicedin many countries, despite the advancesin modern techniques which allowhuman lives to be artificially extended.

“Euthanasia : A Law Meant to Be Broken?”Kalpita Ghosh

S.Y.LL.B.

The two major reasons againsteuthanasia and assisted suicide are first,that it is wrong for one human tointentionally kill another, except in selfdefence. And, second, that the harms andrisks of legalizing euthanasia andassisted suicide far outweigh anybenefits.

The case against euthanasia is muchmore difficult to present because itdepends on harm to some of our mostimportant societal values, to the importantinstitutions of medicine and law, and topresent and future generations andsocieties.

Euthanasia is not, as euthanasiaadvocates argue, just another option atthe end of a continuum of good palliativecare treatment. It is different in kind fromthem. To legalize euthanasia woulddamage important societal values andsymbols that uphold respect for humanlife. If euthanasia is involved, how we diecannot be just a private matter of self-determination and personal beliefs,because it involves other persons andsociety’s approval of their actions.

Medicine and the law are theprincipal institutions involved inlegalizing euthanasia. In a secular,pluralistic society they are responsible formaintaining the value of and respect forhuman life. Paradoxically, theirresponsibility is much more important ina secular society than a religious one,because they are the “only gods intown.”

What impact would physician rolemodels carrying out euthanasia have onstudents and young health care

professionals? would we devote time toteaching students how to administerdeath through lethal injection? It wouldbe very difficult to communicate ajustified killing in a context of legalizedeuthanasia.

Euthanasia debate will always be inexistence. Now is it merely the legaldecision of deeming it ‘acceptable’ froma governmental viewpoint? How can anindividual be punished for relieving a‘neighbour’ of their pain with their

consent? All in all, who decides whetheror not someone’s life is valuable? Whoselife is it? These questions and manyothers will always remain foreverconceptualizing euthanasia as acontroversial topic.

Lastly, I use the Constitution of Indiaas a means for rights of its citizens andfind that nowhere to be seen is the rightto die. No person should be denied theright to live, no matter how tough thesituation is.

Article 21 of the Constitution isundoubtedly Godly for it secures to allnatural persons1 including foreigners2

two rights- right to life and right topersonal liberty by prohibiting thedeprivation of these rights exceptaccording to procedure established bylaw. The right to life includes the right tolive with dignity and all that goes alongwith it…3 Personal liberty is acompendious term to include within itselfall the varieties of rights which go to makeup the personal liberty other than thosedealt with in the several clauses of Article19 (1)…Article 21 takes in and comprisesthe residue. 4 The deprivation of the rights

Article 21 has provoked a lot ofresearch and continues to attractresearchers. The object of this paper isto study the impact of Schedule IX onArticle 21.

Life and liberty are absolutelysacred11 and are recognized as humanrights in all UN and regionalconventions.12 ICCPR permits states toderogate from responsibilities in respectof a few human rights during nationalemergencies. But no derogation fromright to life is permitted although right toliberty may be derogated from.13 The lonedissenting voice of Justice Khanna inADM Jabalpur v Shivkant Shukla 14

evoked a constitutional amendmentguaranteeing that the enforcement ofArticles 20 & 21 shall not be suspendedeven during emergency.15 Article 21applies to the area of legislativeprivileges also 16

The IX Schedule black hole

Added by the First ConstitutionalAmendment in 1951, Article 31B broughtalong the IX Schedule. Article 31Bsafeguards legislations and regulationsmentioned in the IX schedule from being

challenged as violating fundamentalrights. Further it is retrospective: a statutedeclared unconstitutional for nonconformity with fundamental rightsnorms if and when included under the IXschedule will be deemed to have beenvalid from the date of legislation notwithstanding any judicial decision to thecontrary. Special majority in theParliament can immune laws from beingscrutinized for violation of fundamentalrights. IX schedule thus creates a blackhole into which all important humanrights disappear. Agrarian reforms weresought to be given a shot in the arm byshort circuiting the judicial process as thedelay due to litigation frustrated the socialand economic reforms initiated by thegovernment.

The acceptability of IX schedule isassailable on the following grounds-

1. Ensuring an efficient judicial systemcannot be excused by subvertingjudicial review.

2. Article 31B is dangerously silentabout the category of legislations orregulations which can be included inthe IX schedule. Starting with just 13state Acts on zamindari abolition theschedule today is inundated withmore than 250 Acts.

3. Fundamental rights incorporateimportant universal human rightssome of which cannot be suspendedeven during national emergencies.India is a member of UN, a party toUDHR and has ratified ICCPR.

4. Socio economic reforms cannotjustify exempting vital rights like life.Respect for rights shall not be seenas an obstacle in the path ofbenevolence or efficiency of thegovernment; rather it is a componentof good governance. Fundamentalrights compliance humanizes theadministration.

5. Basic structure has been declared bythe Supreme Court as beyond theamending power of the Parliament.17

Judicial review has been held to bea basic feature.18 The harmony andbalance between fundamental rightsand directive principles of state policyis also a basic feature.19

Article 21, IX Schedule and the basicstructure doctrine

In Waman Rao v UOI20 the Firstamendment adding Article 31B has beendeclared constitutional and notdamaging the basic structure. Theamendments made prior to 24th April197321 were held valid and fullyprotected. But the amendments made onor after that date are open to the challengethat they damage the basic structure. Thecourt said:

…The question whether the basicstructure is damaged or destroyed in any

given case would depend upon whichparticular Article of Part III is in issue andwhether what is withdrawn isquintessential to the basic structure..22

The observation in Minerva Mills23 ispertinent-

It is possible that in a given case,even an abridgement of a fundamentalright may involve violation of basicstructure. It would all depend on thenature of fundamental right, the extentand the depth of the infringement, thepurpose for which the infringement ismade and its impact on the basic valueof the constitution. Take for example, rightto life and personal liberty enshrined inArticle 21 . This stands on an altogetherdifferent footing from other fundamentalrights… if this fundamental right isviolated by any legislation, it may bedifficult to sustain a constitutionalamendment which seeks to protect suchlegislation against challenge underArticle 21.

In 1999, in I R Coelho v State of TamilNadu24 the question whether an Actdeclared unconstitutional vis a vis Articles14, 91 and 31 can be included in the IXschedule and whether an amendmentincluding Acts in IX schedule if founddamaging the basic structure can bestruck down was referred to a largerconstitutional bench. A nine judge benchwith the Chief Justice of India gave itsdecision on 11.01.2007.25

The court has ruled that fundamentalrights also form part of basic structure and

The court has invokedthe doctrine of notice in justifying thepower of the court to strike downamendments to include Acts in the IXschedule. The parliament would have noexcuse that it did not know that itsamending power was limited26

The court has held that Article 32 is abasic feature. It ruled that Article 21 is theheart of the Constitution. The goldentriangle of Article 21 read with Articles 14and 19 is a basic feature as it stands for

equality and rule of law.27 The court haslaid down that if a ninth schedule law isviolative of Part III, a further examinationinto whether the violation is destructiveof the basic structure will have to bedone: if the legislation is founddestructive the legislation would beinvalidated. The basic structure doctrinehas redeemed the essence of the vitalrights in Article 21 from the IX scheduleblack hole.

The plan of the building is designedaround a massive square with multiplecourtyards and open inner areas within.The plan called for two wings; one for theViceroy and residents and another forguests. The residence wing is a separatefour-storey house in itself, with its owncourt areas within. This wing was so largethat the first Indian governor-general,Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, opted tolive the smaller guest wing, a tradition thathas since been followed by subsequentpresidents. The original residence wingis now used primarily for state receptionsand as a guest wing for visiting heads ofstate.

The main entrance to RashtrapatiBhavan is known as Gate 35, and islocated on Prakash Vir Shastri Avenue,renamed from North Avenue inNovember 2002, as a memorial to thepolitician Prakash Vir Shastri (1923-1977), who served here during his tenureas a Member of Parliament for the stateof Uttar Pradesh.

Since ages, the custom of dowry hasbeen an issue for heated discussions,debates, articles, stories etc. Each timea bride was burnt, the incident becamethe headline. Protests were made,campaigns were launched and lawswere passed but to no avail. Andgradually, the heat lowered.

Even today, this social evil has notbeen obliterated. Behind the closeddoors of the so-called respectablehomes young girls are still humiliated,tortured, or worse, beaten or stabbed.Their in - laws look down upon them.

Eventually, after a few attempts, theheart-rending screams of NGOs andsocial workers fall on deaf ears of asociety, which is double - faced and doesnot seem to care. The system of dowry isan old one. But, in ancient times, it was away of helping out the newly wed coupleand ensuring some kind of economicsecurity for the girl. The bride’s parentsgave whatever they could comfortablygive, be it monetary help or in the formof some gifts. Now, regardless of theirfinancial position of a girl’s family,unreasonable demands are made.

The dowry system in our country isnot only a social evil, but a cancerousgrowth spreading its evil tentacles and

So,realistically speaking, marriages aremade very much here, on earth and notmade very much here, on earth and notin heaven.

It is high time we get rid of thispractice of dowry. Let us not rely on theGovernment to do it for us. Each one ofus should take a stand in this regard.Men should firmly refuse to take dowryand women should say no to greedygrooms. I earnestly urge upon to, followthe slogan . . . No Dowry

Proverbs are old sayings withprofound meaning. According toWebster’s dictionary a proverb is a briefpopular maxim. Chambers UniversalLearners’ Dictionary defines proverb asa well known saying that gives goodadvice or expresses a supposed truth.To Oxford, proverb is a short well knownsaying. ‘Proverbial’ is something referredto in a proverb or that which is well-known.

Growing with the people & theircivilization every language is sure tohave countless proverbs. Proverbscontain the wisdom of our elders andthey guide our conduct. That apartproverbs help to make communicationinteresting. Use of proverbs can makestatements more convincing andappealing: “A proverb is to speech whatsalt is to food”. Some sayings havebecome out dated & not acceptabletoday. For example “Spare the rod andspoil the child” is disapproved by childrights activists. Yet there are still peoplewho believe that while excesses arecondemnable mild physicalpunishments are essential to discipline.

Here is an attempt to look into someproverbs which acknowledge, if notaccount for legal principles. This is not athorough study on proverbs but randomthoughts penned for sharing. The list issuggestive and not exhaustive.

Article 142 of the Indian Constitutionrecognizes the power of the

Supreme Court to do completejustice in any cause or matter beforeit.

Doctrine of severability – Theprovision(s) of a statute which isunconstitutional will be separated (ifseparable) and declaredunconstitutional allowing the validpart to remain effective.

Learning is effectively facilitatedwhen a teacher accompanies thestudents from the known to theunknown or guides the students insuch pursuit. As part of the society,students are familiar with proverbsand so can easily relate themselveswith what they are studying. Statingrelevant proverbs can make classroom exercises more attractive. Useof proverbs will also help to drivehome the point that the legalprinciples are based on commonsense and not just borrowed fromforeign jurisprudence.
