DEMYSTIFY CONSTITUTION OF JUSTICE VERMA COMMISSION AND JUSTICE MRS.MEHRA COMMISSION!

After gang-rape of a 23 years old student, Central Government constituted two Commission of inquiry/Committee one is being headed by Justice Verma, Retired CJI and another one by Justice Mrs.Mehra, Retired Judge of Delhi High Court. Justice Verma Commission shall suggest amendments in the law to provide quicker trial and more stringent punishment in aggravated sexual assault cases and second one shall inquire to indentify lapses and fix the responsibility in the gang rape case. It is nothing but an eye wash as there was/is growing demand of common men for amendment of criminal laws which Government and all political parties wants to avoid at this time, if that happens at least 160 MPs (http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/sc-notice-centre-mps-facing-criminal-charges/1/158574.html) having criminal records including rape charges will be behind bars. Had intention of our parliamentarian genuine, any MP would have call a session of Parliament by moving a motion to Secretary General of Parliament but all are just wants to play politics and more so Government wants to save its skin. It could also be considered intention of government that after constitution of such commission/committee, anger of common men be subdue. I am of the view that it is nothing but utter waste of hard earned money of tax payers like us. All parties are ethically responsible for this. There are MPs who are crying a lot in street but they were fast asleep when they were supposed to wake up and had acted diligently. Since, now committees/commissions have been constituted and they have started functioning so nothing much left, because as per Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, which is extracted hereunder, same issue cannot be discussed in Parliament if same is pending before commission or committee.

“....

184.  Save in so far as is otherwise provided in the Constitution or in these rules, no discussion of a matter of general public interest shall take place except on a motion made with the consent of the Speaker.

188.  No motion which seeks to raise discussion on a matter pending before any statutory tribunal or statutory authority performing any judicial or quasi-judicial functions or any commission or court of enquiry appointed to enquire into or investigate, any matter shall ordinarily be permitted to be moved:

Provided that the Speaker may, in his discretion, allow such matter being raised in the House as is concerned with the procedure or subject or stage of enquiry if the Speaker is satisfied that it is not likely to prejudice the consideration of such matter by the statutory tribunal, statutory authority, commission or court of enquiry.”

Thus, these commissions/committees have been constituted on a set agenda which we have to understand.

Independence Day, It is one leave! Boss

It is only a decade ago when I was studying in school in a small town of Uttar Pradesh. Only thing which I can visualize is that I become much older (it is thought full). I still remember that on Independence Day, our school used to celebrate the national function and we young students used to participate in the Independence Day’s parade at our Tehsil Ground. Every teachers and students were full of feelings of patriotism, but now Independence Day becomes a holiday. radically our mind set has changes. on this day (since it is leave) we can wind up our pending list of matters, can take rest at home, watch movies, etc. etc. No one wants to sacrifice its day for the country. Yes we have grown up. In Delhi, I have seen new trend, Schools do its duties of celebrating the Independence Day on 14th August, and Teachers do not want to waste their precious leave of a day. So they do their part of duties on 14th August and we too get relaxed, fine today is leave from office!. Why do we require a ...

Politics of perception & defamation

Enlightment thinkers have rejected the authoriity of medieval belief in divine rights of King and upheld the freedom of individual to think for themselves. Rene Descartes say I think, therefore I am. Enlightment thinker also feels that people should have a say in their government. The elections are basically seeking a collective say of the people in governance. Does it happen realy? Or people are forced by the Political Parties, to think, the way, party want? I am of the view that the Political Strategist are capable to force the people to think, the way, they want. This collective thinking or hypnotism or mesmire, which is being created by the parties over a period of time can be referred to as Political Wave or rather we can say that selected information disseminated by a political outfilt against its political opponent plays a pivotal role in election. We must have noticed that whenever Election Commission of India declare, dates for election, people start getting s...
