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.

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.

In India, direct taxation transcends its role as a revenue-raising mechanism and assumes broader significance in terms of economic equity, fiscal management and governance. By understanding the implications of direct taxation, stakeholders can work towards building a tax system that not only meets revenue objectives but also promotes inclusive growth, social justice and economic stability.

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.

ABSTRACT

The Doctrine of Pleasure has its roots from the England. In England, the Crown is known as the Executive head and the civil services are also part of executive. The Doctrine of Pleasure is that the Crown has the power to terminate the services of a civil servant at any time without providing any notice of termination to civil servant. Therefore, civil servants serve at the pleasure of the Crown, who has the power to dismiss them at any time. When the civil servants are fired from the services, they do not have the right to sue the Crown for the wrongful termination, nor they have the right to seek restitution for losses incurred as a result of the termination and also, they cannot ask for damages for the wrongful termination. The doctrine of pleasure was also followed in India. The President is the executive head of the Union so he holds the same position like the Crown in England. In India, the President has the authority to remove a civil servant at any time under this doctrine of pleasure. The doctrine of pleasure was adopted with some modifications in India form that of England. Article 310 has some exceptions which are provided by the Constitution, a civil servant of the Union works at the pleasure of the President and a civil servant in the State works at the pleasure of the Governor of that state. This is evident that the operation of the Doctrine of Pleasure can be limited by constitutional provisions. The Judges of the Supreme Court, Judges of High Courts, Chief Election Commissioner and Comptroller and Auditor General of India are excluded from the operation of Doctrine of Pleasure. So, this doctrine of pleasure is not absolute and it is subject to Constitutional provisions. There is another aspect that the civil servants can also be excluded from the operation of this doctrine because they have been provided with some protection under Article 311 and thus doctrine’s application can be limited to civil servants as well. The procedural safeguards are laid down under Article 311.
