Various governments have committed to protecting these rights. However, most governments have acted in breach of this commitment by using vague laws for political reasons. Through this article, we look at one such law often used for political reasons to enforce broadcasting bans, namely the Cable Television Network (Regulations) Act, 1995. We argue that the legislative framework for broadcasting under the said Act is constitutionally suspect. The problems that make this framework constitutionally suspect are: procedural and substantive unreasonableness, lack of uniform enforcement and absence of an effective statutory remedy. After identifying the defects in this law, we develop a normative constitutionally compliant framework for the regulation of broadcasters. Among other things, we recommend: clearly defining the contours of grounds for imposing broadcasting bans and separating the “investigating” and “adjudicatory” functions.","PeriodicalId":13511,"journal":{"name":"Indian Law Review","volume":"65 1","pages":"263 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85041515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In March 2020, the Government of India issued the Draft Environmental Impact Assessment Notification 2020, which sought to replace the 2006 Notification. The most contested provision of the Draft Notification is the procedure to deal with cases of violation. While the 2006 Notification lays down a strong regulatory procedure to deal with such cases, the Draft Notification weakens it. In this context, this Note presents two arguments. First, the Draft Notification has altered the procedure such that its deterrent effect, and potential to immediately prevent environmental harm, is diluted. Consequently, it normalizes violation and ex-post facto clearances, and weakens its risk avoidance and risk management potential. Second, the proposed procedure is counterintuitive to the precautionary principle. Accordingly, the authors iterate that the Draft Notification amplifies the threat to India’s environmental conservation commitments.","PeriodicalId":13511,"journal":{"name":"Indian Law Review","volume":"60 1","pages":"96 - 106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75845736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It goes on to evaluate the constitutionality of the death penalty provisions under Articles 14 and 21 of the Indian Constitution. Further, it assesses the extent to which the extension of the death penalty for child sex abuse complies with deserts-based sentencing principle.

Conventional jurisprudence has recognized the derivative action under common law. However, the Delhi High Court in ICP Investments v Uppal Housing went against the grain to hold that derivative actions are subsumed within section 241 of the Companies Act, which deals with direct actions, and that a derivative action is per se not maintainable under common law. In this Note, I argue that this finding is unsustainable in law. First, it represents an inchoate appreciation of the distinction between wrongs to the company and wrongs to the shareholders. Second, it is not at all clear that the oppression, prejudice and mismanagement remedy under section 241 of the Act is wide enough to assimilate derivative actions. Third, the Court’s ruling fails to square up with procedural and remedial considerations.","PeriodicalId":13511,"journal":{"name":"Indian Law Review","volume":"26 1","pages":"84 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83379253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that it is important to think beyond judicial challenges to the SMA since only locating marriage equality in the SMA may be inadequate in realizing the potential of marriage equality for all LGBT+ persons. This is because focusing on the SMA ignores the intersectional nature of LGBT+ identity in India and also fails to account for the interconnectedness of Indian family laws. Focusing only on secular law ignores both the continuing relevance of religion-based personal laws in shaping individual identity and the legal reality that secular laws do not operate autonomously due to the interconnectedness of Indian family laws. Instead, I outline alternative approaches that range from reforming different personal laws to judicial challenges questioning the legal non-recognition of LGBT+ relationships in family law as a whole.","PeriodicalId":13511,"journal":{"name":"Indian Law Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"170 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87780567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article makes two interventions aimed at interrogating this perception. First, it shows that legalizing intercaste marriage became politically viable owing to its promise of modernizing Hindu marriage and fostering Hindu solidarity. Second, by turning to the anti-caste thought of B.R. Ambedkar, it shows that rather than prescribing intercaste marriage, as many scholars tend to claim, Ambedkar underscores its “futility” in the struggle for a casteless society. Removal of caste restrictions on marriage gave Hindus freedom in spouse selection, but left the material basis of caste unaltered. The article argues that the story of legislating this freedom bears out Ambedkar’s thesis that pursuing freedom in the negative sense in a caste society does little to destroy caste.","PeriodicalId":13511,"journal":{"name":"Indian Law Review","volume":"75 1","pages":"147 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77708394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It highlights the importance of caste in situating the life and trials of Rukhmabai in their wider social, colonial, and legal contexts. Following the methodology of the global feminist judgements projects, the paper also offers a re-written judgement for Rukhmabai’s case located in 1886. This new judgement, while bound by the legal rules of the time, puts forward an alternative application of the doctrine of RCR, one that treats the issue of consent as central to such suits. It argues that the legal transplant of RCR ought not to have been applied to Hindu marriages which are often entered into in childhood and makes a case for taking into account female consent to both marriage and to conjugal relations.","PeriodicalId":13511,"journal":{"name":"Indian Law Review","volume":"55 1","pages":"265 - 287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90822653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
