Honourable Justice Shri. A. R. Joshi was impressed with the infrastructure of the college & theperformance of the students. He specially appreciated Mrs. Sridevi Iyer who secured 67.5% and topped theUniversity in merit in the final year LL.B. exams.

Joshi showed anguish over increase in crimes by young

Legal Aid CellA legal Aid clinic has been established in our college on 11th March 2008. Under

this clinic we have organised different programmes at various places in Thane. Ourstudents have also participated in number of events & camps.

On 6th January 2012, as per the provision of Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 &legal services rules 2010, we started providing free legal services to the poor & needyperson. On every Friday & Saturday between 4 to 6 pm. Prof. Vinod H. Wagh isappointed as incharge of the clinic.

In the year 2012-13 we received less response as we had not reached to the needypeople. In order to get good response, in the month of September 2012 we publishednews about the legal aid cell in different news papers. Then after we started receivinggood response from the poor & needy people. To maintain their records & to verifywhether they really need legal aid because of their poverty, we have started taking theirundertaking.

In 2012 & 2013 different people have approached us for seeking advice on differentissues. 70% of these cases were concerned with domestic matters.

Some students & their parents have also approached us. Some students showedtheir interest in working with cell. Our teaching staff have also helped the legal aid cell.

2013

In Communist Party of India v BharathKumar, the Supreme Court had held wayback in 1997 that there cannot be any rightto call or enforce a “Bandh” whichinterferes with the fundamental freedomsof other citizens apart from causingnational loss. Thus a “Bandh” whethercalled expressly or impliedly is illegal !That is the law of the land. Surprisingly,two girls recently discovered thatprotesting a bandh is also “illegal”.

The police officers under politicalpressure were clueless and probablyturned to God for assistance and Eureka!The girl’s name happened to beShaheen Dhadha – so section 295A wasapplied as “religious feelings” may havebeen hurt. And yes the comments wereposted on Internet, so naturally the IT Actwas applied as well.

If Shaheen Dhadha can be arrestedfor hurting “religious feelings”, then bythis bizarre and irrational logic, I JayeshGokhale cannot even have an argumentwith my good friends Zafeer Alam andJoe D’Souza.

S.295-A. read as follows : Deliberateand malicious acts intended to outragereligious feelings of any class by insultingits religion or religious beliefs. – Whoever,with deliberate and malicious intentionof outraging the religious feelings of ayclass of [citizens of India], [by words,either spoken or written, or by signs orby visible representations or otherwise],insults or attempts to insult the religionor the religious beliefs of that class, shallbe punished with imprisonment of eitherdescription for a term which may extendto [three years], or with fine, or with both.

Recent Controversy about the Police Handling ofCyber Law Offences

Mr. Jayesh Gopal Gokhale III LLB Student

Later 295A was replaced with 505(2)for creating or promoting hatred, ill-willor enmity between classes.

S.505. reads : Statementsconducing to public mischief [(1)Whoever makes, publishes or circulatesany statement, rumour or report, -

(a) with intent to cause, or which is likelyto cause, any officer, soldier, [sailoror airman] in the Army, [Navy or AirForce] [of India] to mutiny orotherwise disregard or fail in his dutyas such]; or

(b) with intent to cause, or which is likelyto cause, fear or alarm to the public, orto any section or the public wherebyany person may b induced to commitan offence against the State or againstthe public tranquility; or

(c) with intent to incite, or which is likelyto incite, any class or community ofpersons to commit any offenceagainst any other class or community,shall be punished with imprisonmentwhich may extend to [three years], orwith fine, or with both.

(2) Statements creating or promotingenmity, hatred or ill-will between classes.– Whoever makes, publishes or circulatesany statement or report containing rumouror alarming news with intent to create orpromote, or which is likely to create orpromote, on grounds of religion, race,place of birth, residence, language, casteor community or any other groundwhatsoever, feelings of enmity, hatred orill-will between different religious, racial,language or regional groups or castes orcommunities, shall be punished with

imprisonment which may extend to threeyears, or with fine, or with both.

(3) Offence under sub-section(2)committed in place of worship, etc. –Whoever commits an offence specifiedin sub-section (2) in any place of worshipor in any assembly engaged in theperformance of religious worship orreligious ceremonies, shall be punishedwith imprisonment which may extend tofive years and shall also be liable to fine.]

Exception. – It does not amount toan offence, within the meaning of thissection, when the person making,publishing or circulating any suchstatement, rumour or report, hasreasonable grounds for believing thatsuch statement, rumour or report is trueand makes, publishes or circulates it [ingood faith and] without any such intentas aforeside.]

This section is equally irrelevant asnobody has been able to point out thetwo classes involved.

Applying the IT Act every now andthen seems to have become anobsession with our police. As perstatistics of National Crime RecordsBureau, in 2011 alone 1,791 cases havebeen registered under the IT Act. But, ifwe look at convictions, the number is ashocking 7! Need I say more?

Let us also analyze Section 66A ofthe IT Act which has been applied.S.66A. Punishment for sending offensivemessages through communicationservice, etc..- Any person who sends, bymeans of a computer resource or acommunication device, -

(a) Any information that is grosslyoffensive or has menacingcharacter; or

(b) any information which he knows tobe false, but for the purpose of

causing annoyance, inconvenience,danger, obstruction, insult, injury,criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred,or ill will, persistently makes bymaking use of such computerresource or a communication device.

(c) any electronic mail or electronic mailmessage for the purpose of causingannoyance or inconvenience or todeceive or to mislead the addresseeor recipient about the origin of suchmessages.

shall be punishable withimprisonment for a term which mayextend to three years and with fine.

Explanation: For the purposes of thissection, terms “Electronic mail” and“Electronic Mail Message” means amessage or information created ortransmitted or received on a computer,computer system, computer resource orcommunication device includingattachments in text, image, audio, videoand any other electronic record, whichmay be transmitted with the message.

Sub Clause (a) concerns anyinformation that is grossly offensive orhas menacing character. Protesting ashutdown should ideally neither offendnor threaten anyone. So to a mindpossessing common sense, sub clausea should not apply. Sub clause (b) doesnot apply since information is true. SubClause (c) applies in case of annoyance,inconvenience, deception or in case it ismisleading. Now as far as deception andmisleading are concerned they do notapply in the present case and as far asannoyance and inconvenience isconcerned it is in fact the girls and publicat large who were annoyed andinconvenienced by the overall shutdownin the city.

The actions of the police authoritiesare also a blatant violation of section 46(4)

of Criminal Procedure Code whichprovides that no woman shall be arrestedafter sunset and before sunrise.

Section 46(4). CrPC reads as under –

46. Arrest how made. –

(1) In making an arrest the police officeror other person making the sameshall actually touch or confine thebody of the person to be arrested,unless there be a submission to thecustody by word or action.

(2) If such person forcibly resists theendeavour to arrest him, or attemptsto evade the arrest, such policeofficer or other person may use allmeans necessary to effect the arrest.

(3) Nothing in this section gives a rightto cause the death of a person whois not accused of an offencepunishable with death or withimprisonment for life.

(4) Save in exceptional circumstances,no woman shall be arrested aftersunset and before sunrise, andwhere such exceptionalcircumstances exist, the womanpolice officer shall, be making awritten report, obtain the priorpermission of the Judicial Magistrateof the first class within whose localjurisdiction the offence is committedor the arrest is to be made.

The arrest of the friend ReenuSrinivasan is amusing to say the leastand irritating and frustrating to say it more.There can be a thousand interpretationsthat can be applied to the act of liking afacebook post. It may range very widelyfrom – “Hey it’s a nice joke” to “I agreewith your opinion” to “I completelyendorse your point of view and amwilling to die for your cause”. How canthe police decide the degree ofsynchronization of the minds of the two

girls on the issue by just a single click onthe like button?

The Government has to realize thateveryone cannot be Mahatma Gandhi orAnna Hazare and protest in their fashion.The Internet is the only medium availableto the common man to vent his angeragainst the establishment as other mediaare out of his reach. Naturally when hegets the medium he may tend to gooverboard. Hence as such the lawsshould be more lenient when it comes tofreedom of speech and expression whichhas been guaranteed by Article 19(1)(a)of Constitution of India, even if the casemay fall outside the sphere of those rights.Article 19(2) enables the state to imposereasonable restrictions on the grounds of

a) Sovereignty and integrity of Indiab) Security of the Statec) “Friendly relations with foreign statesd) Public Ordere) Decency or moralityf) Contempt of courtg) Defamation andh) Incitement to an offence

Having said that, the youth of todayalso needs to realize that the Internet isnot a microphone attached with immunityto say absolutely anything. All rules ofsocial behavior apply to comments on theInternet as well and one must use a certaindegree of common sense before postingany material. One thumb rule that may befollowed is that only such comments maybe posted which the person has courageto say it in front of 10 people. And henceeven the laws must distinguish betweenidentified comments and anonymouscomments.

Democracy implies ideologicaltolerance – While you may not agree toeverything what I might have to say, butplease respect my right to say it.

Free and Fair Election is a mandategiven by our Constitution for aParliamentary Democracy. The word‘Democracy’ coined in the preamble canbe realized if we have the conduct offree, fair and effective election processin our system. Only free and fair electionsto the various legislative bodies in thecountry can guarantee the growth of ademocratic polity1

In India, election is always a giganticexercise because the country is thebiggest democracy in the world; millionsof electorates go to polls to electmembers for House of People, StateLegislative bodies and Legislatures ofthe Union Territories. In Kihoto Hollohan2

Court emphasized that, democracy is abasic feature of the Constitution andelection conducted at regular prescribedintervals is essential to the democraticsystem envisaged in the Constitution. Soit is current requirement and need toprotect and sustain the purity of electoralprocess. For that it would be better toassess the electoral process itslegislation and issues and challenges forits reforms. Several Committees likeGoswami committee, GuptaCommittee, Vohra Committee, Lawcommission of India- 1999, ElectionCommission of India-2004 verified theissue of electoral reform. They suggestedthe solution for the same, but still somevacuum has been left under the gamutof Constitutional mandate of election and

Electoral Reforms and Criminalization :

This becomes dire need to analyzethe process of election to protect thedemocracy. This paper tries to reveal theissues and challenges in election reformsin India in relation with Criminalization ofpolitics. This issue is very basic it needsto be corrected at the earliest so that tosome extent we can save not only systemof election but also the democracy frombeing criminalized.

During the period of election it hasbecome very often to read the news that,’Particular candidate contesting electionhas 200 criminal cases against him. AnMLA is now contesting as anindependent while he is still serving a lifeterm in jail. He was convicted in akidnapping case but an appeal has beenentered in the High Court this kind of storyhas now become very familiar to citizens.’It is shameful for the world’s biggestdemocracy that these criminals who havemany cases of Murder, rape and decoitythey are sitting in a forum of law makingi.e. parliament and state legislatures.According to CBI report to the VohraCommittee, “all over India crimesyndicates have become a law untothemselves, even in the smaller townsand ruler areas muscle man becomes theorder of the day.” And the reflection of thiscan be found not only in election to House

be continue to be disqualified forfurther period of six years since hisrelease.

4. Sub-section 4 provides thatdisqualification take into effect incase of member of parliament orstate legislature until 3 monthselapsed from date of conviction or ifwithin that period an appeal orapplication for revision is brought inrespect of the conviction or thesentence, until that appeal orapplication is disposed of by thecourt.

Issues and Suggested Reform UnderSection 8:

This provision needs to be amendedat the earliest. Offences mentionedin Sub-section (1) of Section 8 exceptthe offence of rape, providespunishment of less than three yearsin Indian Penal Code. And proposedcandidates they are directlycommitting offences like extortion,kidnapping, murder whether theyentitled to hold position ingovernment? In 1950 politicianswere considered as pioneers ofgood governance. That was themoral content of that society. So thelegislature of that time not even thinkthat in future politics will becriminalized with this motion, thiscould be the reason of insertion ofspecific offences in Section 8(1).

Disqualification of candidate should beattracted for every offence committedby the candidate, or otherwise to fulfillthe objectives of the section 8 of theRPA, 1951 the punishment provided inrelated statues (e.g. Indian Penal Code)mentioned in section 8 should beenhanced.

In this section there is need to includeother grave offences of person,property and election etc withenhanced punishment. For that inthis Representation of Peoples Actone Schedule should be providedfor enhanced punishment for theoffences referred in section 8 of RPAon the ground of public interest todisqualify the proposed candidatefor election or member of statelegislature or parliament.

The Election Commission of 20046

proposed on this issue that,disqualification for criminal offencesis provided for in section 8 of theRPA,1951 a person is disqualifiedfrom contesting election only on theconviction by the court of law. Itmeans this provision sets in motionafter the decision of court. There havebeen several instances of personscharged with serious and heinouscrimes like murder, rape, dacoity etc.As a result in mean time during evenpending trial person contested andelected with majority. But this leadsto undesirable and unethicalsituation. That a person who is lawbreaker becomes the law maker.

For that the commission proposedthat the law should be amended toprovide that any person who isaccused of an offence punishable byimprisonment for five years or moreshould be disqualified fromcontesting election even when thetrial is pending in which chargeshave been framed against him by acompetent court. But this bar on acandidate might be used against theinnocent persons for that there isneed of establishment of specialcourt of election commission to

determine the qualification ofcandidate who have criminalantecedents and these courts willdetermine the cases summarilywhich will not affect the actual casesof court. There may be possibility thatcases of false charges would beraised. Such situations can be dealtby imposing time frame on the casesfiled prior to six months of electionalone would lead to disqualificationand not otherwise.

Sub-section (4) of Section 8 saysthat disqualification take into effect incase of member of parliament orstate legislature until 3 monthselapsed from date of conviction or ifwithin that period an appeal orapplication for revision is brought inrespect of the conviction or thesentence, until that appeal orapplication is disposed of by thecourt.

This privilege of 3 months forattraction of disqualification for memberof parliament is nothing but an instanceof destruction of basic tenets of equality.It is arbitrariness Once the lower courtconvicted the person who is member ofparliament or member of state legislaturethat order should be final one to attractthe disqualification. Law should beeffected from the date of decision ofconviction of member of parliament. If lawto enjoy all the privileges to member ofparliament during pendency of appeal inhigher court then it would be likeissuance of license for them to commitcrime and be there in the power andexploits the democratic principles of thesystem. This convicted clause should beamended to the effect that,“Disqualification take into effect in caseof member of parliament or state

legislature from the date of decisionof the court decided the conviction,though the appeal or application forrevision is brought in respect of theconviction or the sentence in HigherCourt, the conviction order should betreated as final for disqualification andsuch person shall cease to bemember of parliament or statelegislature.”

From the side of legislature there hasbeen half-hearted attempt madebecause ultimately legislative or lawmaking power in relation withelection recognized from parliamentor legislature of states. Politicalparties they use these dada’s andgoondas in elections so that they willsecure some seats in the parliamentor in state legislature. This shouldmandated to each political party that,if any political party gives ticket forelection to the person charged withcriminal case such person willdisqualify from contesting electionand further such party should bederecognized by the electioncommission. Such power shouldgiven to the election commission.But time and again it was realizedthat the intention of this legislatureis to protect their interests and notthe democracy.

Criminal Antecedent in Section 33-Aand 33-B of RPA,1951

In relation with the criminalantecedents of the candidates Supremecourt in Union of India v. Associationfor Democratic Rights7 observed thatit is right of voters to access theinformation guaranteed in Article 19 (1)(a) is equally vital as like right of citizensfor the same. This was considered asdynamic judgment delivered by

Supreme Court which is having theauthority of law under Article 141 of theconstitution. But The ordinance issued bythe President which is known as TheRepresentation of the People(Amendment) Ordinance ,2000 madeamendment in RPA,1951 which can beseen in the form of Section 33-A and 33-B

In this ordinance the Section 33-Aprovides Right to Information which isrecognized as a fundamental right ofevery citizen to know the pastantecedents their proposed candidate.This section obligates to furnish theinformation as to whether – (1) he isaccused of any offence punishable withimprisonment for two years or more in apending case in which a charge hasbeen framed by the court of competentjurisdiction, (2) he has been convicted ofan offence and sentenced toimprisonment for one year or more.

The Ordinance then adds thefollowing section as Section 33B :“Notwithstanding anything contained inany judgment, decree or order of anycourt or any direction, order or any otherinstruction issued by the ElectionCommission, no candidate shall beliable to disclose or furnish any suchinformation, in respect of his election,which is not required to be disclosedor furnished under this Act or the rulesmade there under.” This provision is anillustration of fraud committed by thelegislature itself, under the umbrella ofthe right to privacy. It nullifies the effectof Section 33-A which is unconstitutional

and out of legislative competence. Aperson who is going to hold public officecan not be allowed to undisclosed theinformation required for public purpose.This ordinance or Amendment wasbeyond the legislative competence.Peoples Union for Civil Liberties v.Union of India8 emphasized that todisclose the antecedents is the necessityof the day because of statutory provisionsof controlling wide spread corruptpractices as repeatedly pointed out byall concerned including various reportsof law commission and othercommittees. The Supreme Court had notmade any radical suggestion but eventhese suggestion are not acceptable tothe politicians. So this section 33B whichwhich takes away the judicialcompetence . This shows that thereexists a wide gulf between preachingand practice in today’s political arena.This section directly nullifies Article 191(a) of the constitution. It is undemocraticand directly strikes at the peoples rightto know – a democratic right.9 Thisdecision will be known as the milestonefor the process of reforms in election. Thisjudicial order nullifies the legislativeorder of Section 33-B of theRepresentation of Peoples Act.

Fear grips us in many situations. It isbelieved that many deaths due to snakebites are because of fear than poison.Fear breeds fear; for a person who istrembling with fear anything black is aghost! Catholic Encyclopedia says thatfear is a mental disturbance caused bythe perception of instant or future danger.1

The danger may be real ormisconceived. But the fear is real. Terror,dread, horror, fright, panic, alarm,trepidation, apprehension, awe,nightmare, phobia, scare etc are wordsused everyday all around by almost allpeople in some situation or other tospeak about fear.

Gandhiji, in his autobiography, haswritten that he was afraid of darknesswhen he was a child. Also, as anadolescent when he stealthily ate non-vegetarian food, fright did not let himsleep. He feared that a goat was bleatingin his stomach. Gandhiji in his debutcase before the small causes court gaveup due to lack of courage. He wrote ‘…had thus to cross examine the witnesses.I stood up, but my heart sank into myboots. My head was reeling… could thinkof no question to ask …I told the agentthat I could not conduct the case, … Ihastened from the court..’2 SwamiVivekanandha even as a child refused tobe afraid. In order to prevent childrenfrom gathering around a tree, they were

Bhaya, Nirbhaya and Law- Mrs Srividhya Jayakumar,

Incharge Principal

Bhiyu nakoos mi thuja paatishi aahe! – Shri Swami Samartha

scared away by telling that there was aghost on the tree. While all children fledfrom the place, child Vivekanandhaclimbed the tree and looked for theghost. This reflected his thirst for truth.This is a well known incident from his life.

Bhaya is bad. In clinical psychology,phobias of different kinds are consideredto be anxiety disorders requiringassistance to overcome. Phobia is anirresistible, irrational and excessive fearof an object or situation which is enduredwith distress. Dravidian belief decribesfear as foolishness. A freedom fighter andtamil poet Subramanya Bharathi by wayof commandments for good living said-“ avoid fear; don’t you lose courage”.Rabintranath Tagore’s awesome poem“ where the mind is without fear…” is oneof world’s greatest thoughts.Fearlessness is considered a virtue.

‘Bhaya’ is one of the nine rasaas innatyasasthra. Religions expect people tobe god fearing. ‘Bhaya-bhakthi’ isconsidered a foundational requirementfor spirituality. Is fear good? The geniusThiruvalluvar3 who forewarns: “Nothingto lose is no excuse to evil deeds; theywill cause you to lose yourself4” hasdevoted one chapter to ‘fear of evildeeds’ in his Thirukkural.5 Fear of doingwrongs is seen as a virtue and is verycrucial for a society. ‘Law fearing’ peopleenjoy peace and development for sure??

If any law is an utter failure or is grosslyineffective, it is described as a paper tigeror a snake without fag! Is it because it hasdubious power to instill fear? It is believedthat when there is no ‘fear of law’ crimesescalate unabated and lawlessnessbecomes the creed! After the ‘Nirbhayaincident’6 even judges have asked, “Isthere no fear of law in this country?!7

Why is law obeyed? Where does theauthority of law spring from? How canlaw’s binding force be explained? Thisgreat question of jurisprudence has beenanswered differently by different jurists.Is it the fear of punishment which makespeople obey law? John Austin’simperative theory of law makingpunishment a vital component of thedefinition of law has invited severalcriticisms. His theory defining law as thecommand of the sovereign has beendescribed as the gunman’s theory!8

Realists perception of law as ‘what thejudges do’, is intellectually stimulating.Oliver Wendell Holmes said: theprophecies of what the courts will do, infact, and nothing more pretentious arewhat I mean by law. For so defining, hedid not consider the lawyer nor the judgeand not even the law abiding citizen butthe “bad man”. He said what a bad man-a man who is anxious to secure his ownselfish interests – would want to know isnot what the statute book or textbooks saybut what courts are likely to do in fact.9

True, a law not enforced is as good as‘non ens’. Why fear? Why obey?

What is the object and purpose oflaw? What is law set to achieve? Law isan institution of society and has definitesocial purposes. For Salmond, justice,stability and peaceful change are theends of law. For Roscoe Pound, law asan instrument of social engineering shallerect and maintain a social structurewhich satisfies maximum of wants withminimum of friction and waste. Does notthe Law seem to assure against fear ofinjury? The law seems to say: Fear not ofinjuries; am near and even if you go far Ishall reach you with my long arms. Lawinstills and boosts the feeling of securitywhich is the foundation of civilization. Thefunction of law is to eliminate fear of injury!Law in… Fear out!!

The basis of contract law is consent.Consent given due to fear is no consent.A contract vitiated by fear can beavoided.10 Right to marry and found afamily is a human right11. Marriageshould be founded upon love and notfear. A marriage so vitiated can beannulled12. Law of tort recognizes volentinon fit injuria as a general defence inactions for torts. Volens given under fearis no defence. Also law rejects thedefence of volenti non fit injuria againstheroes who fear not for their lives andlimbs but rush to rescue on cries for help.Recognition of private (self) defenceseems to protect the fearless who standup and fight against attack. Self defenceis an acclaimed defence under civil andcriminal law. Interestingly killing a wildanimal in self defence is not hunting

which is punishable under Wild LifeProtection Act, 1972.13

The object of penal law is to protectand preserve the sense of security in thepeople. The deterrent theory ofpunishment believes that the purpose ofpunishment is to instill a fear in the mindof criminals and prospective criminals tokeep them away from voluntaryperversity and criminality. Whoeverthreatens another with any injury to hisperson, reputation or property, or to theperson or reputation of any one in whomthat person is interested, with intent tocause alarm to that person, or to causethat person to do any act which he is notlegally bound to do, or to omit to do anyact which that person is legally entitledto do, as the means of avoiding theexecution of such threat, commitscriminal intimidation.14 The offences ofextortion15, known in English law asblackmail, are acts putting people in fearof injury to life, body, property, reputationor mind in order to dishonestly deprivepersons of property or valuablesecurity16.

The special statutes to deter terroristshave been frightened away by thehuman rights activists! TADA & POTAwere feared because they could notcombat terrorism but could terrorizeinnocents!! Anti terror laws have invitedcriticisms in America also. There hasbeen an appeal to the people not to

allow the President to use war onterrorism to rule by fear instead of bylaw.17Intimidation to deter a person fromvoting or to vote in a particular manner isan offence in the interest of ‘free and fair’elections18. Democracy is too great to leta people’s representative to resignwithout the presiding officer’s findingwhether the resignation is voluntary andgenuine.19 Secrecy in voting20 is alsopreserved so that the voter need not fearthe consequences of his voting for aparticular party or person.

A person apprehending arrest canseek bail21. A person who fears invasionof his/her rights can approach the courtsfor injunction.22 A writ prohibito canforestall jurisdiction excesses byauthorities23. Legal protection ofminorities is to allay their fears24. Fear ofharassment at the hands of the creditors,may drive a debtor to file an insolvencypetition. Creditors fearing fraud of debtorscan also invoke the insolvencyproceedings against them. Today,women need not fear of sexualharassment at work, thanks to theSupreme Court guidelines.25

Independence of judiciary is thesecurity that the courts decide without‘fear’ or favour. Constitutional law andadministrative law ‘embolden’ the ‘littleman’ to fight against the mightygovernment. Seeking to protect andconserve the environment, environmental

law relieves us from the fear ofdeterioration and destruction of theenvironment and the fear of handing overa barren earth to our future generations.Consumer law deters traders and serviceproviders from exploitative practices.Competition law protects the smallbusinesses from the fear of beingcrushed by the anti competitiveagreements.

Insurance law impresses upon us totranslate our fear into action to secure andinsure against loss. Putting in place aregime for the protection of the intellectualproperties, IP law drives away our fearsof infringement of our rights. InformationTechnology law deters people fromabusing the information technology.Endlessly the discourse can be furthercarried on to constrain one to accept thatlaw atleast minimizes ‘fear’ even if it doesnot totally eliminates.

The law is instilling fear to protectpeople against fears of injury!! Thequestion is: Is the fear instilled adequateand effective? How to tackle the devilishdaring? Man claims giant strides of

achievement but none of these stridesseek to ensure against lawlessness!Then, now and perhaps tomorrow also,we may have to look upon law as a‘gunman’ whether it deters thewrongdoers effectively or not. What isemboldening the criminals who violatelaw with impunity? Is it that the gun is notreal, but toy? Laws by themselves areinadequate without strong institutions forimplementation. Flaws inimplementation and corruption can befought only by vigil. 'The price of libertyis eternal vigilance'.

FEAR OF LAW is certainly vital.What is “FEAR OF LAWYERS”?.....??heard about a phobia of lawyers? Thereis a phobia ‘fearing lawyers’ identifiedand named DIKIGOROSOPHOBIA26.Unbelievable??? May be some peoplefear lawyers: but do lawyers fear?Shakespeare tried in vain to frighten: Thefirst thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.27

Lawyers fear nothing but their ownconscience!! Their conscience is LAW!

It is only in India that you can find Thetelecom minister himself involved ina scam amounting to a loss of nearly200 Crores, the president of IndianOlympics getting involved incommon wealth games scams,people contesting and even winningelections while undergoingsentences in prison.

‘Democracy’ is not entirely unknownto us. Infact , that was the driving forcewhich prompted our freedomstruggle. To be understood in thewords of sir Winston churchill , It issomething like “little man walkinginto the little booth with a littlepencil, making a little cross on alittle bit of paper. No amount ofrhetoric or voluminous discussioncan possibly diminish theoverwhelming importance of thatpoint.” In short, people are governedby their own elected representatives.

India adopted democracy as its formof Government with the intention ofplacing the welfare and wellbeing ofits citizens in the highest position bygoverning them by the laws andregulation framed by their electedrepresentatives.

The crux in the successful functioningof democracy thus lies in the handsof such elected representatives. i.ein the ‘Political System’ of thecountry, which is rightly known as thenervous system of the country

The Indian political scenario whichwas earlier glorified by great heroeslike Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, Motilal

‘’Rising number of criminals in Parliament andState Legislature is disastrous for democracy’’

Ms. Ranjani Krishnan, I LLB

Nehru, Rajagopalachari, whoworked in the interest of the society,purely motivated by the passion toserve people, is now characterizedby corrupt people, whose main aimis to churn out as much wealth aspossible from the public, enjoy thepower of their seats, loot the country& ultimately accomplish theirpersonal self centric goals, withoutbothering about the purpose forwhich they were elected.

We say India was finally freed fromthe clutches of British rule after 150years of tremendous struggle &bloodshed…but only to give thereins back in the hands of such bloodsuckers. So isn’t it right to say thatIndia is still struggling for itsfreedom?

Why do we find mind bogglingincome & assest values of many MPs& MLAs? whose money do you thnkit is?..friends it s our very own hardearned money. Just a few days ago,a petition was filed in the high court-when TDS can be deducted from acommon man’s salary, then why notfrom that of an MP or MLA,? Why thisspecial allowance four them.

One of the main reasons for thispathetic condition is somethingcalled as ‘criminalisation of politics’which has increased by leaps andbounds in the recent years.

Politics has now become the mostcherished profession for people withcriminal records. Over 100 membersof our house of parliament & even the

state legislatures have wellestablished criminal antecedents.Many of our elected leaders, withlong-pending corruption cases incourts, also become members of theUnion or State cabinets withenormous powers to allocate publicresources and run publicenterprises.

The parliament has many major andkey functions to perform like controlof public finance, control of theexecutive impeachement of highconstitutional officials. How can wegive this important. Duty in the handsof criminals? Isn’t this disastrous fordemocracy? Ñï> XwO©Zm§{M H$er KS>o bmoH$ godm?

The scene inside a parliament houseor even a legislative assembly isworth watching. That pious placewhere in the future of a country isdetermined, is worst than a streetfight, with people hurling chappalsand abuses at one another. Are thesepeople who don’t even respect thesanctity of their seats going to protectour democracy?

It is a well known fact that politiciansuse criminals to dominate theelection scene in India. Whathappens over the time is that theseelements slowly start gaining powerunder the umbrella of such corruptpoliticians and that is how we havepeople charged with serious &heinous crimes like kidnapping,,,rape..rioting, framing policies for us.What would be the future of India inthe hands of such People?

One of things to be blamed is theweak judicial system of the country.The Indian judicial system is wellknown for the pace with which itdelivers judgement. The person getsjustice usually in his deathbed. Till

he is alive all he does is take roundsto the court. & the advantage of thisdelay, is utilized to the fullest extentby our respected MPs & MLAs. Tillthe trial is going on, they take theadvantage of presumption ofinnocence, and once convicted, goon appeal.

In 13th parliamentary polls of 1999,119 were charged with heinouscrimes like rape, kidnapping andrioting.

Corruption is in the core of politics.Many politicians engage incorruption by using ‘ Babus’. Thesebabus are not willing to changebecause of the fear of losing power,lack of sense of duty, insensitivity tothe common man’s problems and soon.

There is corruption involved in everysmall scheme of the government.Right from providing rations to thepoor, employment facilities in therural areas ( MGREGS ), infact evenin employing teachers. What is leftof democracy if corruption enterseven the field of education? It willmerely be “ Democracy of the sheep,for the sheep & by the sheep”

The politicians do not wantcorruption to be checked for their ownselfish needs. All they do is give falsepromises; The delay in Lokpal billvery well fortifies our suspicion.. Butone thing is for sure that the failureof this lokpal bill is definitely adisaster for the democracy.

The 1993 serial blasts which rockedthe financial capital of India from itsfoundation, revealed a piece ofstartling information. The VohraCommittee which was appointed tolook into the blasts, came out with

deep connections of politicians withorganized crime all over India, that itwas barred from publication. In facteven the supreme court in itsjudgement ‘’ Dinesh Trivedi v/sUnion of India favoured the govt. inbarring its publication.

It will not be right to say that reformshave not been undertaken forimproving the situation. The supremecourt judgment on 13.3.2003“Peoples Union for Civil Libertiesv/s Union of India & others whichgave rise to amending the ECInorms, mandates that all thosecandidates with cases pendingagainst them or convicted shoulddisclose their convictions. As a resultof this,, 93 MPs and 10 ministers inManmohan Singh’s ministry cameunder the scanner on variouscriminal charges. But again the loop

hole in this norm is that, it merelymandates the disclosures, but doesnot stop them from contesting theelections.

After all said and done, the blameultimately rests on we commonpeople as we are the onesnominating such criminals. But hereagain, the entire blame cannot reston us due to the prevalence ofmalpractices’ during voting likepurchasing votes, booth capturing& inducing voters. Is thisdemocracy? Where is our right tovote?.

India at present is known as aDEVELOPING country among theother countries of the world. But if thenervous system of the country itselfis at fault, wont the countryparalyse?

Is it really true to say that risingnumber of criminals in parliament andlegislative assembly is disastrous fordemocracy? Absolutely not....whenasked to define democracy MackIverobserves “democracy is not the way ofgoverning by majority or otherwise, butprimarily a way of determining who shallgovern. Some democracies which wereknown as direct democracies existed inthe ancient Greek cities where publicdirectly participated in the working of thegovernment. But most of thedemocracies today including India, arerepresentative democracies where rulersare elected by the people and the

legislature is constituted by electedrepresentatives. According to ‘ECI”norms the candidate contesting electionhas to inform about his criminalantecedents but still if the people electthem, it is simply because they think andtrust that the representative they haveelected understands their wish andneeds in a better way. Democracy doesnot say anything good or bad it is just akey to safeguard our fundamental rightsguaranteed under the constitution.According to me it is not rising numberof criminals but rising number of peoplewith criminal charges. Now let us try tounderstand who is a criminal? Criminal

is one who is convicted of a crime. So isit correct to call an accused a criminal?No not at all. It will be wrong to call anaccused a criminal until he is convictedby the highest court. In spite of criminalcharges on MLAs and MPs there are somany of them who are working for thebetterment of our country.

India is one of the largestdemocracies and is bound to have a cutthroat competition. Rising number ofpeople with criminal charges is anobvious result of political competitionand power play. So what are we shoutingabout? How many of us know that it is soeasy to file a criminal allegation againstanybody, under CrPC? Under S.154it is mandatory for a police officer to filean FIR if the offence is cognizable and ifit is not done so this will amount tocontempt of court and the police officerwho rejects to file such FIR will be pulledup.

Just as the relevant qualification forselection in Indian cricket team is not theattainment of any educational degreesbut the ability to play cricket well, therelevant qualification for being an MLA orMP is to understand the people, theirproblems and to represent their interest.Now coming to “Law”, a law is a billbefore it is passed. It is to be noted thatthe MCOCA was passed by theVidhansabha assembly in 1999 with aheavy majority and without much protest.This shows how stead fast our MLAS areagainst crimes.

An elected representative is actuallya part of our society which is havingcriminal elements in every sector.Criminal elements exist in various sectorslike education, medical, sports etc.People with criminal charges may affectthe working of the government in someway but in no way it will make ourdemocracy disastrous. Representing the

will of the people in the law corridors willnot be affected. If MPs & MLAs fail torespect will of the people, the weapon of“vote” is in our hands. We determinewhether we return them to office or wesend them home!

Now there is this question that we allneed to ask ourselves, Are we reallyhappy with the progress of our countryin this 66years of independence? If theanswer is no...what is the reason behindit? Is the reason lying only in theparliament and legislative assembly?Are we as people of this country notresponsible?

It is the attitude of people towardsgovernment which has to change. Wetake pride in bunking the poling daysand going out for a picnic. Are we ascitizens honest too? Are we not causingany harm to our democracy? Accordingto me we are the real criminals. You andme are a greater threat to our democracy.How many of us know why our right tovote is so important? How many of us doregularly pay income tax, sale tax,municipal tax? How many of us do reallyfear law? Its high time by now that weneed to understand our duty towards ourcountry. So let us stop playing this blamegame. As rightly said by MahatmaGandhi, “Man and his deeds are twodistinct things the doer and the deeds,good or bad, always deserves respector pity as the case may be. So lets hatethe sin and not the sinner.” It is very easyto understand but rarely practiced andthat is why the poison of hate is spreadthrough the world.....

In a healthy democracy where rightto get elected is cherished, unhealthycompetition results in false criminalcharges. Let us be wiser to remove thechaff from the grain! Let us not hate allpoliticians’! Let us love & honour our rightto vote!

LL. B. is a professional course andhence practical training is an integral partof it. Yes – exams are important – after allyou have to pass 24 exams to get thecoveted degree, but mere academicswithout debates and moot courts is likea Mango Mastani without ice cream(those who travel to Pune would know)!

Debates are like a learner’s licenseto moot courts. From personalexperience the author can say that whileacademics is the foundation, the level ofthinking required for a debate is 10 timesthat of exams and that required for amoot court is 100 times that of a debate!

So the next question would be - Howto handle these moot courts? Well, let usfirst get the basics right – Unless youspeak well, the judge is not going to listento you. If a moot court judge won’t listento you, best of luck with the real judge (ifyou happen to go into practice). So firstthings first – develop your oratory. If youare not good at that art, then pick up somebook on developing oratory and get thatthing sorted out.

Now that the oratory part is taken careof, we start the game. You would begiven a fact sheet which wouldelaborately contain all the facts of thecase. Usually in competitions, such factsheets are meticulously drafted. Howeverin internal moot courts, it may be givenin brief. In competitions, this is your“Bhagwad Gita” – there is no worldbeyond the fact sheet. However ininternal moot courts, sometimes factsmay be very brief in which case you mayhave to assume some facts. But keep inmind that your assumptions cannot be

III LL.B. Student

ultra vires to the given facts.

Once you have the fact sheet, youwould be allocated your side – petitioneror respondent. In competitions you haveto prepare for both. Once you take aposition, you have to put yourselves inthe shoes of your client and redraft thefacts from his point of view. So the firsttask that needs to be done in a moot courtis drafting the facts from the vantage pointof your client. However, these redraftedfacts cannot be ultra vires to the fact sheetprovided. In fact, a considerable amountof skill may be required to redraft suchfacts by which the redrafted facts wouldimply that your client has a strong case.

After the facts have been drafted, thenext job is framing of the issues. Issuemeans any point of fact which needs tobe decided either way to give the case alogical conclusion. Examples of issuesmay be - “Is the contract enforceable inlaw?” or “Is the act of the accused withinparameters of culpable homicide?”. Youwould hope that all issues are decidedto your advantage.

Once issues have been finalized,then you have to justify as to how everyissue should be decided in your favor.For this, you have to take recourse of lawwhich would be found in statutes andcase laws. Remember – case laws areinterpretation of statutes, so unless yourcase is not based on any statute (e.g. –torts), first take bare acts and text booksof the relevant statutes and search for thecorresponding section of the statutewhich applies to your case. Try tologically fit in the sections to your factsand most importantly to your advantage.

When statute will not completely satisfyyour facts, open the books and look forrelevant case laws.

It is at this point of time where thereal fun begins. If you are really seriousto enter a competition, also think as tohow the opponent will counter your legalpropositions and find answers to hiscounter strategy and so on. It is a gameof chess and you have to think manymoves in advance and hope to outsmartyour opponent.

After your arguments are done,summarize them for you will not be ableto speak out the entire thing in the allottedtime. Then prepare a compilation calledas “memorial”. The memorial primarilyconsists of Cover Page, Table ofContents, Index of Authorities, Statementof Jurisdiction, Statement of Facts,Statement of Issues, Body of Arguments,Summary of Arguments and your Prayer.Statement of Jurisdiction is importantfrom the point of view of the petitioner asyou have to justify to the court that why ithas jurisdiction in the matter. Read thegiven fact sheet carefully and seewhether it is a petition, appeal or revisionand accordingly draft your statement asper relevant provisions of law. Finallycomes the prayer in which you have topray to the court to grant reliefs. Theprayer should be exhaustive of all reliefssought and the court will not grant youany relief not prayed for.

Now is the time for learning somecourtroom manners. Firstly you have todress in courtroom formals; incompetitions that is mandatory. Find outwhich court you are approaching fromyour problem statement and accordinglyapproach the court as “Your Honour” forcourts lower to High Courts and “YourLordship/Ladyship” for High Courts andSupreme Court. Before you enter the

court room, keep your one hand on yourchest and bow before the court. The seatof justice is the seat of God and thissanctity has to be maintained. When yourname is called, begin preferably with thefollowing line – “May it please yourhonour/lordship/ladyship! In the matterof XXX v/s YYY, I am the counsel for thep l a i n t i f f / p e t i t i o n e r / a p p e l l a n t /respondent/defendant”. Thereafter askfor permission to proceed and firsthighlight the facts which you haveredrafted. Thereafter continue withissues, arguments and finally the prayer.

It is possible and probable that thecourt may interrupt you while you arespeaking which is likely to break yourrhythm. However you have no choice asyou are bound to go as per the directionsof the court. If a question is asked andyou are unaware of the answer, maintainyour composure and try to find a solutionfor a minute. If you still cannot find asolution, pray for time. It is imperative thatunder all circumstances you shallapproach the court with utmost respect.You may be assertive but shall be polite.In real courts, the conduct of theadvocate counts a lot especially in caseswhere there is a question of discretionaryremedy.

Before the moot court begins, youshall be given the memorial of youropponent. Attack the memorial as a trueopponent and find out allinconsistencies in the same. Politelypoint out those inconsistencies when itis your turn to speak. Explain to the courtlogically how the legal propositionasserted by the opponent does not fit tothe facts of the case.

Finally, after a judgment ispronounced (if it is pronounced) and itis in your favor, don’t react as if you havewon the world cup. Regardless of

whether you lose or win, calmly say“Obliged” and after bowing before thecourt take your seat. Remember – youare a professional and this is not apersonal battle, so you shall also treatyour opponent with utmost respect andrefer to him as “learned friend”whenever the occasion arises.

This article will only give you a basicidea as to how to approach the mootcourt, but like life, moot court cannot betaught with books – you have to live ityourselves. So just go out there andenjoy your performance!

In the Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishnasays ‘’The fourfold caste system(Brahmins, Kshatriyas, vaishyas &sudras) is NOT based on birth, but basedon three attributes of people (Aura,Energy and Matter) and the professioncarried on by them.

Hence we have,

Brahmins (Aura dominant) :engaged in writing, teaching,consulting etc.

Kshatriyas ( Energy dominant) :Engaged in managing, leading,controlling & organizing.

Vaishyas ( Matter dominant,supported by energy) : Doingbusiness, trading, banking, etc

Sudras (matter dominant ) :construction, agriculture, etc.

In the absence of properunderstanding of the scriptures, theIndian society has inherited a castesystem, which has moved away from thelogic of these recommendations, whichin turn is causing more harm than goodto the society.

The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 Should be Amended toSpecifically Exclude Suppression / Misrepresentation of

Caste as A Ground for Nullity of Marriage

Ms. Ranjani Krishnan, I LL.B. student

( source : ‘ Gita for joyful living’).

It is said that ‘Marriages’ are madein heaven,and celebrated on earth. It isa special bond shared between twosouls. According to Hinduism, Marriagebetween two souls stretches beyond onelifetime, and may continue upto atleastseven lifetimes. When a male andfemale accept each other, the mutuallove, desire, respect for each other, theinbuilt bond existing between them, thefaith that they would strive to make theirmarital life a success, is what matters.‘Caste’ is the last consideration.Because, by that time you have alreadyappreciated the qualities of each other.

When the fundamental law does notaccept discrimination on caste and thepreamble also enshrines the same, arewe still going to speak on thiscaste...caste...caste...Under Art.51A wehave a fundamental duty to uphold &abide by the Constitution of India.Several personal laws, such as hindulaw, muslim law, parsi law and so onexist. These are by and large nonstatutory traditional systems of law,having some affinity with the concerned

religion. Being the ancient systems oflaw, there are several aspects of thissystem, which are out of time with themodern time & may even beincompatible with some fundamentalrights. In Madhu Kishwar v/s State ofBihar (AIR 1996 SC 1864) JusticeRamaswami observed that ‘It is essentialthat the customs repugnant to aconstitutional scheme, must always yieldplace to fundamental rights. (minorityview)

When we are speaking that ‘caste’itself is of the least consideration in amarriage, then how does the suppressionor non suppression of it matter in anyway? & merely because the person hassuppressed his/her caste, should thatamount to nullity? Wont this be a greatinjustice to the institution of marriage?And even worse, to the individuals?.Infact , no such ground is actually speltin law. The Hindu Marriage Act onlystates that suppression of a material fact,is a valid ground for nullity of marriage.

My question is, Is caste a materialfact? What is a material fact? It is a factthat would be to a reasonable person,germane to a decision to be made, asdistinguished from any trivial detail. Afteryou have mutually accepted each other,respected one anothers qualities, formeda bond with each other, would you stillconsider caste to be a material fact?Even in this 21st century, when we haveadvanced so much in all walks of life, whyare we still holding on to something astrivial as caste?

The Khap panchayats also in thename of Honour killing, kill the girl whohas had an intercaste marriage. It is likeHonour for the family, and death for thegirl firstly where is ‘honour’ in killing.Secondly has she committed such aheinous crime by marrying the person ofher choice, that she has to pay for it withher life? The couple is discarded by thesociety, the girl is asked to return to herown family, and if she refuses, both areburnt alive so as to eliminate any policerecord. If these are the things happening& the law is considering caste as amaterial fact, aren’t we ourselvesperpetuating castesim ?

Another aspect is that today’s youthdon’t find caste as something soimportant, so as to disclose it.I have notlied, nor have i mentioned. Is your lovefor me going to change with my caste?After having understood so much as towhy caste is not a material fact, let usrevisit our very old question as to whyshould the parliamentary intervention asin an amendment be required? Theanswer to that question is- At present theterm material fact is left to judicialinterpretation. But judicial precedents donot represent the will of the people, norsocial or public interest, & also takes alot of time. On the other hand, urgentactions to satisfy human needs andwants can be given exactly & peacefullyonly by legislation. & hence, theamendment.

‘We are not myths of the past, orruins in the jungle. We are peopleand we want to be respected, not tobe victims of intolerance and racism’

The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 cameinto force on 18/5/1955. This Act isapplicable not only to the hindus in Indiabut also to the hindus who are domiciledin India and living abroad. Before we getinto the core of the topic, let us have abrief understanding about the concept ofmarriage according to the ancient vedicperiod.

Even in the patriarchal society of rig-vedic hindus, marriage was consideredas a sacramental union and it continuesto be so even today. According to theshastra, wife is said to be the ‘ardhangini’of the husband; a man is said to beincomplete without a woman. A wife isnot only a ‘ghrihapatni’ but also a‘dharmapatni’so it is rightly said insanskrit that she is karye shu mantri,karune shu dasi, bhoje shu mata,shayane shu rambha.manana kulkshama daya stree sada gun yuktapriya dharma-patni.

Marriage in ancient times was aunion which could not be dissolved, itwas only in the following five cases wherethe sages allowed the dissolution ofmarriage,

Husband was missing

Husband was dead

Husband had become a ascetic

Husband is impotent

Husband is outcaste (Paras Diwan,Hindu Law)

Now according to the modern hindulaw or the Hindu Marriage Act, the nullity

Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 Should Not be Amended toSpecifically Exclude Suppression/Misrepresentation of

Caste as A Ground for Nullity of MarriageMs. Krushna Kamat, I LL.B. Student

of marriage relates to the pre-marriageimpediments to marriage. This gives riseto classification of marriage into twotypes, void marriage and voidablemarriage. Void marriage is no marriage;it is void-ab-initio. Where as voidablemarriage is perfectly valid and bindinguntil a decree annulling it is passed. Thegrounds of voidable marriage are thefollowing,

1. Respondents inablity to consumatethe marriage on account of his/herimpotency

2. Respondent’s inability to consent oris suffering from mental disorder

3. Concealment of pre marriagepregnancy by the respondent

4. Consent of the petitioner obtained byforce or fraud.

‘Force’ under matrimonial law doesnot have the same meaning as underIndian S.17 of Contract Act, mostimportant aspect of fraud undermatrimonial law i s that, it is not everymisrepresentation that amounts to fraudfor example, the matrimonial columns ofour newspapers are full withadvertisements that a suitable match isneeded for a good looking, submissivegirl and in the same way the bridegroomis advertised saying that the boy is wellsettled ,well educated etc.now if each ofthis statement turns to be false, can amarriage be avoided? and the answeris no!

In, Purbi v. Basudev the wife allegedthat her husband’s premarriage boasting

about his high lifestyle induced her tomarry him; it was held that this does notamount to fraud. So now a question arisesin our mind that which kind of fraud canrender the marriage ‘voidable’?According to the Marriage Law Act, 1976the fraud must relate to the ceremony ofmarriage or to any ‘material fact’concerning the respondent. ‘Materialfact’ is the fact that has direct effect onthe decision or the legal relationship ofthe parties. So is suppression of castenot a material fact? Will this fact not affectthe marriage fundamentally?

Under public law ‘caste’ is evil. Inpersonal life, state shall not interfere inthe beliefs of people. In case of BimlaDevi v.Shankarlal it was held thatsuppression of caste is a sufficientground for nullity of marriage. In spite ofwe promoting inter-caste marriagesunder hindu law, inter-religious marriageunder special marriage act, why peoplehave to lie about their caste that to in sucha holy institution like marriage? Does thisnot show that people lack respect in ourlegislature? Inspite of all this, if stillsomebody commits a fraud with aintention to deceive, fair justice has to bemade towards the person so deceivedby giving him a right to annul or avoidsuch marriage.

Many of us might think that it is aconstitutional guarantee that no personshall be discriminated on the basis ofcaste/religion but we have to learn thatpersonal laws are excluded from theambit of fundamental rights. In, State ofBombay v. Narasu, AIR 1952 Bom 84Justice.Gajendragadkar observed thatthe framers of the constitution wanted toleave the personal law out side the ambitof fundamental rights so they did noteven include the personal laws within thedefinition of expression “law in force”because they were aware that thepersonal laws need to be reformed inmany material particulars. See alsoKrishna Singh v. Mathura Ahir, AIR 1980SC 707; Sarla Mudgal v UOI , (1995) 3SCC 635, Ahmedabad Women ActionGroup v UOI, AIR 1997 SC 3614.

Suppression of caste is a fair enoughground of nullity of marriage and there isno need of any amendment for excludingit. Parties to A marriage mustremember that trust in marriage islike a glue, which if not present, theparties to the marriage cannot sticktogether…
