WHAT IS STATE AUTHORIZED HUMAN ACTION UNDER LAW?
November 26, 2013 at 4:09am
The authority under law for human activism granted by State is mainly of two types viz. (1) technical authority whose basic criterion/test is basic natural health of whole environment of Nature as well as of any individual part of such environment, and (2) social authority whose basic criterion/test is supplementary natural/social health of entire human society as well as of any individual human person forming part of such human society. The technical authority under law is required to satisfy the technical intelligence of human brain which is nothing but the mathematical property intelligence and/or pure life instinctive intelligence of human brain in relation to exact mathematical and/or instinctive equations/ratios of intra-material ( including intra-human ) technical relationship. On the other hand, the social authority under law is required to satisfy the social intelligence of human brain which is nothing but the socio-emotional intelligence of human brain in relation to semi-exact/inexact socio-emotional equations/ratios of intra-human social relationship. For example, the authority under law granted by State to a builder/developer for construction of building on land includes (1) technical authority taking care of techno-structural stability of building proposed for human occupancy in such building, and (2) social authority taking care of socio-interactive convenience of humans occupying parts of such building in the form of flats/shops. The State prescribed law for humans is thus technical and social in nature. –Adv.B.S.More

CIC GOT STRICT IN IMPLEMENTING RIGHT TO INFORMATION:

Central Information Commission (CIC): In a rare order, the Central Information Commission has imposed the maximum penalty of Rs 25,000 applicable under the RTI Act on its official for delay in furnishing information to an applicant. RTI applicant Rajeev Sharma had sought information related to work allocation in the transparency panel from its public information, but the information which should have been provided by June 30, 2011 was provided on April 13 this year. Taking strict view of the delay in providing the details, information commissioner Shailesh Gandhi said, “No information or communication was sent to the appellant and the information was finally sent to him only on April 13, 2012. At the very least, the PIO should have informed the appellant that the relevant file was misplaced or untraceable. And either the file should have been located within reasonable time and the information provided or a police complaint should have been made for the loss of the said file.
“Since the delay in providing the information is over 100 days and no reasonable cause has been offered for the delay in providing the information, the commission under Section 20(1) of the RTI Act imposes the maximum penalty of Rs 25,000 on K L Das, public information officer and deputy secretary.” (Rajeev Sharma v. K. L. Das PIO & Dy. Secretary, Central Information Commission, Appeal No. CIC/SM/A/2011/001997/SG, decided on May 21, 2012)

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ABUSED BY POLICE...??

A historic judgement by Punjab and Haryana High Court: The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that sanction was not legally required to prosecute Punjab Police cops, who “took law into their own hands”, and eliminated “helpless persons” after picking and illegally detaining them. The ruling by Justice Mehinder Singh Sullar came on 35 petitions filed by Atma Singh Bhullar and other police officers. Probing cases against these cops, the CBI had claimed that all the “petitioners-accused had hatched a criminal conspiracy, to do an illegal act by illegal means…” The petitioners sought the dropping of proceedings for want of sanction under Section 6 of the Punjab Disturbed Areas (Amendment) Act, 1989. A trial court had dismissed their applications vide impugned orders dated 20 October 1999, 8 May 2000 and 17 April 2000.
Elaborating on the scope of Section 6, Justice Sullar ruled, “Section 6 appears to afford adequate protection to public servant to ensure that they may not face the false prosecutions. Neither this section extends its protective cover to, nor to put a wall around, a guilty public servant, pertaining to every illegal acts and omissions…”Dismissing the applications, Justice Sullar said the petitioners-accused were not at all entitled to the umbrella of protection under Section 6. “Thus, no sanction whatsoever is legally required to prosecute them for commission of the heinous offences”. (Atma Singh Bhullar v. State of Punjab, Criminal Misc. No. M-7861 of 2005, decided on May 14, 2012)
