THE CRIMINAL LAW(AMENDMENT) ACT,2013

Jharkhand Public Service Commission (SYLLABUS CIVIL JUDGE 2013)

ACID ATTACKS AND THE LAW

ACID ATTACKS AND THE LAW

Since no special section in the Indian Penal Code deals with acid attacks, the incidents are not even recorded separately. Section 326 of the I.P.C, which deals with causing grievous hurt by throwing of a corrosive substance etc. is insufficient/ inadequate to deal with the issue. Firstly, the definition of grievous hurt is not broad enough to cover the various kinds of injuries which are inflicted during acid attacks. Secondly, the section does not cover the act of administering acid. Thirdly, the section gives a wide discretion to the courts as far as punishment is concerned. The cases on acid attacks in India show that normally inadequate punishment is awarded in these cases. Fourthly, the section in the I.P.C does not punish the intentional act of throwing of acid if no injuries occur. Lastly, the section also does not specify who the fine should be awarded to. We also feel that if a person has thrown or administered the acid on another person a presumption should be raised against the person, who has thrown or administered the acid, that he has done so deliberately.

ACID ATTACKS - A GHASTLY CRIME

Apart from the above we feel that the distribution and sale of Acid should be banned except for commercial and scientific purposes. Acid should be made a scheduled banned chemical which should not be available over the counter. The particulars of purchasers of acid should be recorded. We have also examined the various laws in different countries relating to compensation for criminal injuries. While the U.K Act provides for the setting up of a scheme, the Canadian statute sets up a Criminal Injuries Compensation Board to dispense compensation to victims of violence. The suggestion of the National Commission for Women for setting up a board specifically for acid victims has also been examined by us. We however feel that since not only victims of acid attacks but other victims of different crimes also need compensation for rehabilitation, like victims of rape, a law should be enacted to set in place Criminal Injuries Compensation Boards at the Centre, State and District levels in our country.

1. We therefore propose that a new section 326A be added to the Indian Penal Code. The proposed Section 326 A will read as  follows-

326 A. (i) Hurt by acid attack- Whoever burns or maims or disfigures or disables any part or parts of the body of a person or  causes grievous hurt by throwing acid on or administering acid to that person, with the intention of causing or with the knowledge that he is likely to cause such injury or hurt, shall be punishable with imprisonment of either description which shall not be less than 10 years but which may extend to life and with fine which may extend to Rs. 10 Lakhs. Provided that any fine levied under this section shall be given to the person on whom acid has been thrown or administered.

CLASSIFICATION OF OFFENCE

Minimum Imprisonment of 10 years extendable upto imprisonment for life and fine–cognizable– non-bailable—triable by court of session—noncompoundable. (ii) Intentionally throwing or administering acid- Whoever throws acid on, or administers acid to, any person with the intention of causing burns or maiming or disfiguring or disabling or causing grievous hurt to that person shall be liable to imprisonment of either description for a term not less than 5 years but which may extend to 10 years and with fine which may extend to Rs. 5 Lakh.

CLASSIFICATION OF OFFENCE

1. Minimum Imprisonment of 5 years extendable upto 10 years and fine– cognizable– non-bailable—triable by court of session—noncompoundable.

2. We further propose, for the reasons stated above, that in cases of acid attack a presumption be incorporated in the Indian Evidence Act as Section 114B. The proposed Section 114B of the Indian Evidence Act shall read as under.

Section 114 B: Presumption as to acid attack-If a person has thrown  acid on, or administered acid to, another person the court shall presume that such an act has been done with the intention of causing, or with the knowledge that such an act is likely to cause such hurt or injury as is mentioned in Section 326 A of the Indian Penal Code.

3. We propose that a law known as “Criminal Injuries Compensation Act” be enacted as a separate Law by the government . This law should provide both interim and final monetary compensation to victims of certain acts of violence like Rape, Sexual Assault, Acid Attacks etc. and should provide for their medical and other expenses relating to rehabilitation, loss of earnings etc. Any compensation already received by the victim can be taken into account while computing compensation under this Act.

4. We further recommend that the distribution and sale of acid be strictly regulated and the sale of Acid across shop counters be banned.

तुम पागल थे भगत सिंह्……।(THE SHAHEED-E-AAZAM)

A TRIBUTE TO GREAT BHAGAT SINGH

(THE SHAHEED-E-AAZAM)

क्यों इतने बेचैन थे तुम मरने को भगत,

मै समझता तो हूँ पर समझ नहीं पाता ?

कभी ये खयाल आता है कि तुम्हारी रूह रोती होगी

पर मै भी तुम्हारी तरह एक नास्तिक हूँ और जानता और मानता हूँ, कि तुम बस सोच थे एक जिस्म के साथ।

जो शायद खतम हो गयी,तुम्हारी मौत के ठीक बाद

तुम कहते थे जिस्म मरते है, विचार नहीं मरते

पर दोस्त तुम शायद गलत नही थे,

मगर पूरे नही थे सही वरना क्यो कही तुम्हारी छाप

इस मुल्क में दिखती ही नहीं।

मिट्टी से तुम्हारी बोई बन्दूकें नही उगीं

क्रांति की तलवार विचारो की सान पे रगड़ खा कर पैनी नही कुंद हो गये ।

जिस बदलाव की बात की थी तुमने,

वो तो शुरुआत में ही बंद हो गये 

तुम कहते थे ये लोग,तमाशबीन लोग जाग उठेंगे

देखो तुम्हे सोये आधी सदी हो गयी,पर ये मुर्दा तमाशबीन लोग नही उठे।

तुम किसानो ,मजदूरों के हक़ की बात करते थे

आज किसान मर रहे है, मजदूर अपने ही सर्बहारा दलालों के हाथों गये ठगे।

और तो और, तुम मर के जिन बुजदिल लोगो को जिन्दा करना चाहते थे

देखो उन्हे तुमने क्या बना दिया ?

तुम इस लिये मरने को उताबले थे कि इससे इन मुर्दों में उबाल आयेगा,

उन्हें तुमने और ज्यादा डरा दिया !

कि तुम्हारा महबूब वतन मानता है, कि तुम चले गये सो देश का ये हाल है।

पर तुम किस घर में आओगे, सबके लिये ये बहुत कड़वा सवाल है

कि तुम्हारा हाल देख के कोई नहीं चाहता, कि तुम्हारा किया उसकी औलाद भी करे। 

जिस तरह तुम मरे, उसकी औलाद भी वैसे ही मरे

और तो और, जिस नौजवान की नसों में लहू बन कर बहने की तुमने तमन्ना की थी

उसकी सोच और हाल दिल को रूलाता है

ये तुम्हारा बदलाव का दूत, तुम्हे और तुम्हारी चली राहो को  पागलपन बताता है।

ये सिर्फ़ नौकरी,शादी और सेक्स की मरीचिका मे सोया हुआ है

दहेज,जाति,मजहबी कट्टरपन जिनसे तुम्हे नफ़रत थी,

ये आज उन्हीं  सब चीजों मे  खोया हुआ है।

हरा तो कभी तुम्हारा हुआ हीं नहीं ? और तो और तुम्हारा बसन्ती रंग, अब नफ़रत के पुजारियों ने अपना झंडा बना लिया है।

देखो ना तुम्हारी लाश का आखिरी निशान तक मिटा दिया गया है

हरे और बसन्ती के खेल में,देखो तुम्हारे महबूब वतन को तोड़

इसके टुकड़े कर, कही बांग्लादेश,कहीं पाकिस्तान बना दिया गया है।

फ़िर ये निकम्मी हुकूमत अगर तुम्हे शहीद नहीं मानती तो अचरज कैसा ?

तुम्हारा हश्र खुद तुम्हारे दिल ने किया है, दोषी ये सब लोग नही तुम खुद हो ?

क्या तुम नही जानते थे, ये मतलबी ,बुजदिल कौम जो सिर्फ़ गुलामी,करना और कराना जानती है।

ये इस मुल्क के लिये,इन लोगो के लिये,आज़ादी के लिये,तुम्हारे जुनून को कभी समझेगी ?

दोषी तुम खुद हो,तुमने जानते बूझते ये गलती की

ऐसे लोगों, ऐसी कौम से मोहब्बत की।

और तो और ऐसे गीदड़ों और गिद्धों के इश्क मे दीवाना हो जाँ दे दी

तुम मरे ही क्यूँ ? या तो तुम पागल थे या नादान थे।

अगर इस कौम की हकीकत देख के भी अन्जान थे

के जब तुम्हे मुकद्दमे और फ़ाँसी के लिये ले जाया जा रहा था,

ये मुर्दे बस तमाशा देख रहे थे

जो आज भी बस तमाशा देखते है ,और मौका पा कर तुम्हारे सपनों की चिता पर रोटी सेंकते है।

मै समझता हूँ तुम्हारी घुटन,मुल्क के लिये मोहब्बत,तुम्हारा दर्द और जज्बात भी। 

तभी कहता हूँ पागल थे तुम,और अच्छा था गोरों ने तुम्हें मार दिया ?वरना मेरे दोस्त! तुम्हारा हश्र और बुरा होता

कि जिन लोगों के इश्क में तुम मरने पे आमादा थे,

वही तुम्हारा वो हाल करते कि

तुम्हारे हाल पे इन्सान क्या पत्थर भी रोता....

REQUIRING THE UNIVERSITIES TO PRESCRIBE A COURSE ON ENVIRONMENT (M.C.Mehta v/s Union of India & Ors, judgment-2003 SC)

CASE NO.: Writ Petition (civil) 860 of 1991

PETITIONER: M.C.Mehta

RESPONDENT: Union of India & Ors.

DATE OF JUDGMENT: 18/12/2003

BENCH: N.Santosh Hegde & B.P.Singh        

JUDGMENT: SANTOSH HEGDE,

          All the respondents have filed their response

indicating the steps taken by them in implementing the

orders of this Court.

          Shri M.C.Mehta, Petitioner-in-person requested the

Court to first consider the steps taken by the respondents-

States in regard to the 4th direction issued by this Court as

per its order dated 22nd November, 1991 and consider other

directions separately on any other subsequent date.

         

The direction No.4 issued by this Court reads thus:

         

"We accept on principle that through

the medium of education awareness of the

environment and its problems related to

pollution should be taught as a compulsory

subject. Learned Attorney General pointed

out to us that the Central Government is

associated with education at the higher

levels and University Grants Commission

can monitor only the under graduate and

post graduate studies. The rest of it,

according to him, is a state subject. He has

agreed that the University Grants

Commission will take appropriate steps

immediately to give effect to what we have

said, i.e. requiring the Universities to

prescribe a course on environment. They

would consider the feasibility of making this

a compulsory subject at every level in

college education. So far as education upto

the college level is concerned, we would

require every State Government and every

Education Board connected with education

upto the matriculation stage or even

intermediate colleges to immediately take

steps to enforce compulsory education on

environment in a graded way. This should

be so done that in the next academic year

there would be compliance with this

requirement."

          It is seen that as per this direction this Court has

directed the respondents-States and other authorities to

create environmental awareness amongst the students

through the medium of education. Accepting the suggestion

made by the then Attorney General, this Court required the

State Governments and other authorities connected with the

education to introduce compulsory education on

environment upto matriculation stage or even in

intermediate stage in a graded way. Though belatedly, we

notice from the replies filed by the respondents, some steps

have been taken by the States and other authorities

concerned to comply with the said directions issued by this

Court.

          However, Shri M.C.Mehta contends that the steps

taken by the various States and other authorities are

insufficient and not in conformity with the spirit and object

of the above order of this Court. He submitted that the States

and other authorities concerned should prescribe a suitable

syllabus by way of a subject on environmental awareness,

not only in the primary level of education but also in the

higher courses leading upto even post graduate level. He

submits that the University Grants Commission, NCERT

and AICTE who are some of the apex bodies in prescribing

and controlling educational standards should be directed to

work out a proper syllabus to be taught at different levels

uniformly all over the country. In the absence of such

uniform prescribed syllabus in the educational institutions in

various States, different institutions are adopting different

methods some of which are only basic which do not fulfill

the requirements OF THE directions issued by this Court.

          Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and

bearing in mind the burden that may be imposed on the

students by introducing an additional subject, we think for

the present the steps taken by the respondents as indicated in

their affidavits could be accepted pending further

consideration in this regard. However, to make sure that

these steps taken by the concerned states are implemented

without fail, we direct all the respondents-States and other

authorities concerned to take steps to see that all educational

institutions under their control implement respective steps

taken by them and as reflected in their affidavits fully,

starting from the next academic year, viz., 2004-2005

atleast, if not already implemented. The authorities so

concerned shall duly supervise such implementation in every

educational institutions and  non-compliance of the same by

any of the institution should be treated as a disobedience

calling for instituting disciplinary action against such

institutions.

          This acceptance of an interim arrangement, however,

will not prevent the respondents-State and other authorities

from drawing up or of taking further steps to more

effectively fulfil the objects of the directions issued by this

Court earlier.

          We also direct the NCERT which is a respondent

herein to prepare a module syllabus to be taught at different

grades and submit the same to this Court by the next date of

hearing so that we can consider the feasibility to introduce

such syllabus uniformly throughout the country at different

grades.

          List this matter for further orders on 14th April, 2004.

Rules on Professional Standards << The Bar Council Of India

Advocates, in addition to being professionals, are also officers of the courts and play a vital role in the administration of justice.

Accordingly, the set of rules that govern their professional conduct arise out of the duty that they owe the court, the client, their opponents and other advocates.

Rules on the professional standards that an advocate needs to maintain are mentioned in Chapter II, Part VI of the Bar Council of India Rules. These rules have been placed there under section 49(1)(c) of the Advocates Act, 1961.

He shall also use his best efforts to restrain and prevent his client from acting in any illegal, improper manner or use unfair practices in any mater towards the judiciary, opposing counsel or the opposing parties.
5. Refuse to represent clients who insist on unfair means
An advocate shall refuse to represent any client who insists on using unfair or improper means. An advocate shall excise his own judgment in such matters. He shall not blindly follow the instructions of the client. He shall be dignified in use of his language in correspondence and during arguments in court. He shall not scandalously damage the reputation of the parties on false grounds during pleadings. He shall not use unparliamentary language during arguments in the court.

7. Refuse to appear in front of relations
An advocate should not enter appearance, act, plead or practice in any way before a judicial authority if the sole or any member of the bench is related to the advocate as father, grandfather, son, grandson, uncle, brother, nephew, first cousin, husband, wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law daughter-in-law or sister-in-law.

An advocate should not by any means bid for, or purchase, either in his own name or in any other name, for his own benefit or for the benefit of any other person, any property sold in any legal proceeding in which he was in any way professionally engaged.

5. Consent of fellow advocate to appear
An advocate should not appear in any matter where another advocate has filed a vakalt or memo for the same party. However, the advocate can take the consent of the other advocate for appearing.
In case, an advocate is not able to present the consent of the advocate who has filed the matter for the same party, then he should apply to the court for appearance. He shall in such application mention the reason as to why he could not obtain such consent. He shall appear only after obtaining the permission of the Court.
