INTRODUCTION

Every citizen has been given freedom to speak and express their views under Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution. However, this freedom is not absolute and some reasonable restrictions have been imposed on freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(2). But when a person does an act by his words, signs or representation which is held to be contemptuous towards the Government, then such act is punishable under section 124-A of Indian Penal Code, 1860. Sedition is an offence that criminalizes speech that is regarded to be disloyal to or threatening to the state. The provision of Section 124A is very wide and it covers the act of defamation of the Government excluding any criticism in good faith of any particular measures or acts of administration.

Introduction

The status of women in Islam is a topic that has long been the subject of intense debate and controversy, both within the Muslim community and in the wider global context.

This article aims to address this issue by pinpointing the most prevalent misconceptions about women’s rights in Islam and providing pertinent counterarguments, drawing upon the sources of Islamic law.

Introduction

Criminal psychologists have been portrayed in our minds in very intriguing ways in television shows and movies like “Criminal Minds.” The reality, on the other hand, is very different from what these movies and web series show. A desk job for a criminal psychologist requires the psychologist to conduct research and look through various previous case files. In contrast to web series and movies, where the criminal psychologist participates actively in each case and visits every crime scene, criminal psychologists rarely work on a case and only when requested by the concerned officers.

BAN ON ELECTORAL BONDS

BEST CITATION – S. KABILAN, BAN ON ELECTORAL BONDS, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 4 (1) OF 2024, PG. 121-126, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344.

ABSTRACT

The introduction of electoral bonds in India aimed to overhaul the opaque system of political funding by providing a structured mechanism for donations while preserving donor anonymity. However, concerns quickly arose regarding the potential for abuse and lack of transparency inherent in the scheme. These concerns led to a landmark legal case challenging the constitutional validity of electoral bonds, with petitioners arguing that the scheme violated the right to information and undermined the principles of free and fair elections.Prior to the introduction of electoral bonds, political parties relied heavily on donations from undisclosed sources, leading to concerns about black money influencing the democratic process. While existing regulations mandated reporting of donations exceeding a certain threshold, loopholes allowed for substantial undisclosed contributions, raising questions about accountability and ethical governance.

The case, Association for Democratic Reforms & anr. Vs. Union of India^[1] heard in the Supreme Court of India, attracted attention from various stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations and regulatory bodies like the Reserve Bank of India and the Election Commission of India. The court’s observations highlighted the risks associated with electoral bonds, including the influence of corporations on policy-making and the infringement of voters’ rights. Ultimately, the Supreme Court delivered a verdict declaring the electoral bond scheme unconstitutional, mandating transparency measures to disclose bond purchases and donor information. This decision represents a significant milestone in India’s electoral finance reform, emphasizing the importance of transparency, accountability, and democratic principles in the political funding process.

Through the implications of direct taxation, policymakers can formulate tax policies that promote sustainable economic growth and enhance the overall welfare of society. Addressing the challenges associated with tax administration and compliance is essential for realizing the full potential of direct taxation as a tool for inclusive and equitable development in India.
