The Bench which alsoincluded Justice SA BobdeJustice DY ChandrachudJustice Ashok Bhushan andJustice S Abdul Nazeersought to know from Jilani ifnon-mention in the two Hin-du religious scriptures was

proof of non-existence ofRam Temple in Ayodhya

ldquoOnly because ValmikiRamayana and RamcharitManas do not mention theprecise site in Ayodhya whereRam was born canrsquot Hindusbelieve that Ram was born at a

particular place in AyodhyardquoJustice Chandrachud asked

On Monday it had notedthat the faith of Hindus inthe Ram Janmabhoomi hadbeen a constant and it wouldbe hard to rebut their beliefDuring the day-long hearingthat went on till 5 pm JusticeBobde wondered why Ain-i-Akbari written by AbulFazal known for mentioningminutest of details did notmention Babri Masjid

Jilani responded by sayingthere might have been too

many mosques and to men-tion about all of them wouldhave been difficult He howev-er said the plaintiffrsquos case thatmosque was built after demol-ishing temple was incorrect

Before her petition came upfor hearing the SIT detainedher in a car ostensibly forinterrogation Howeversources said she had beendetained to prevent her disap-pearance in case of the rejec-tion of her petition to stay herarrest Her father and brotherremained with her

On Monday the AllahabadHigh Courtrsquos Special Divi-sion Bench of Justice ManojMishra and Justice ManjuRani Chauhan had dis-missed her petition to stayher arrest on the groundsthat the petitioner should

Earlier the SIT took twoaccused in the extortioncasemdash Sachin and Vikrammdashon remand for 95 hours fortaking them to Rajasthan tothe site for recovery of amobile phone allegedly used

in making the extortiondemand The accused haveconfessed before the SITthat they had thrown awaythe mobile phone used tomake the alleged extortioncall near Mehandipur Bala-ji in Rajasthan The thirdmain accused Sanjay too is

Arrested on September 20Chinmayanand was sent to14-day judicial custody andwas admitted to the SGPGIon Monday with complaintsof cardiac problems But noblockage was found

The 72-year-old BJP leaderhas been charged under IPCSection 376-C instead ofstringent 376 (rape) Legalexperts say Section 376-C isusually applied in caseswhere a person abuses hisposition to ldquoinduce orseducerdquo a woman under hischarge to have ldquosexual inter-course not amounting to theoffence of raperdquo This isbeing considered wateringdown of charges againstChinmayanand because ifrape charge is proved underSection 376 it may lead tolife imprisonment while con-viction under Section 376-Centails jail for five to 10years Other sections are 354-D (stalking) 342 (wrongfulconfinement) and 506 (crimi-nal intimidation)

Chandigarh September 24 Even as the Chief Ministerhas denied making a state-ment on exoneratingParkash Singh Badal in thesacrilege case Rajya Sabhamember Partap Singh Bajwaon Tuesday expressed appre-hension that Capt AmarinderSingh was getting dictated bysome extraneous forces

While other Congress lead-ers are yet to react to the CMrsquosstatement and subsequentdenial Bajwa said ldquoDamagedone by the CMrsquos remark tothe state Congress cannot beundone through a well-thought design of first play-ing the exoneration card andthen issuing denial It hashit the morale of the leaderswho have been taking onthe Badals The vital pointin this entire narrative onthe sacrilege was rooted inthe very electoral politics ofthe Badal familyrdquo

The former PPCC chiefsaid the exoneration of theBadals had further rein-forced the perception amongthe people at large in Punjababout the complicitybetween Capt Amarinderand Badals He reminded theCM that he had taken an oathholding lsquoGutka Sahibrsquo topunish the Badals for theircrime of sacrilege but he hadnow violated his own pledge

Capt Amarinder in a state-ment has said he had not giv-en a clean chit to the Badalsover their alleged involve-ment in the sacrilege case

which was more than mani-fest in their hobnobbing withDera Sacha Sauda ahead ofBargari and their recent des-perate attempts to scuttle theprobe by influencing the clo-sure report of the CBI

ldquoAt no point did I sayParkash Singh Badal or hisson Sukhbir were not involvedin the sacrilege All I have saidwas that Badal did not himselfgo and tear up the holy GuruGranth Sahib But that doesnot rule out his involvement inthe matterrdquo he said

The Badalsrsquo decision to backthe dera for support in the run-up to the polls was a politicalmove but it triggered criminalactions for which while theymay not be directly responsi-ble their accountability cantbe ignored the CM said

Besides Bir Devinder for-mer Deputy Speaker of Pun-jab Vidhan Sabha said theCMrsquos statement on Badalshad finally exposed the nexusof viewless understandingbetween the two familieswithout an iota of doubt ldquoHowcan the CM make such aresounding stupid statementon a super sensitive core reli-gious issue of the Sikh com-munity at a time when thestate is going to witness theAssembly bypoll on four seatswithin a monthrdquo he added

Meanwhile PPCC chiefSunil Jakhar said the Badalswere clearly involved in theacts of omission and commis-sion as they tried to save theperpetrators of sacrilege forvote politics and pardoningthe dera chief

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

The understanding of the term and interpretations make it complex

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

Going by a poll survey theCongressrsquo electoral

chances in Haryana andMaharashtra appear to be

next to nothing But theparty is making no attempt

to reach out to anti-BJPparties in these states to

put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure

of the Samajwadi Party andBahujan Samaj Party

in Uttar Pradesh during the 2019 Lok Sabhaelections has had a

demoralising effect on the entire opposition

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

particular place in AyodhyardquoJustice Chandrachud asked

On Monday it had notedthat the faith of Hindus inthe Ram Janmabhoomi hadbeen a constant and it wouldbe hard to rebut their beliefDuring the day-long hearingthat went on till 5 pm JusticeBobde wondered why Ain-i-Akbari written by AbulFazal known for mentioningminutest of details did notmention Babri Masjid

Chandigarh September 24 Even as the Chief Ministerhas denied making a state-ment on exoneratingParkash Singh Badal in thesacrilege case Rajya Sabhamember Partap Singh Bajwaon Tuesday expressed appre-hension that Capt AmarinderSingh was getting dictated bysome extraneous forces

While other Congress lead-ers are yet to react to the CMrsquosstatement and subsequentdenial Bajwa said ldquoDamagedone by the CMrsquos remark tothe state Congress cannot beundone through a well-thought design of first play-ing the exoneration card andthen issuing denial It hashit the morale of the leaderswho have been taking onthe Badals The vital pointin this entire narrative onthe sacrilege was rooted inthe very electoral politics ofthe Badal familyrdquo

The former PPCC chiefsaid the exoneration of theBadals had further rein-forced the perception amongthe people at large in Punjababout the complicitybetween Capt Amarinderand Badals He reminded theCM that he had taken an oathholding lsquoGutka Sahibrsquo topunish the Badals for theircrime of sacrilege but he hadnow violated his own pledge

Capt Amarinder in a state-ment has said he had not giv-en a clean chit to the Badalsover their alleged involve-ment in the sacrilege case

which was more than mani-fest in their hobnobbing withDera Sacha Sauda ahead ofBargari and their recent des-perate attempts to scuttle theprobe by influencing the clo-sure report of the CBI

ldquoAt no point did I sayParkash Singh Badal or hisson Sukhbir were not involvedin the sacrilege All I have saidwas that Badal did not himselfgo and tear up the holy GuruGranth Sahib But that doesnot rule out his involvement inthe matterrdquo he said

The Badalsrsquo decision to backthe dera for support in the run-up to the polls was a politicalmove but it triggered criminalactions for which while theymay not be directly responsi-ble their accountability cantbe ignored the CM said

Besides Bir Devinder for-mer Deputy Speaker of Pun-jab Vidhan Sabha said theCMrsquos statement on Badalshad finally exposed the nexusof viewless understandingbetween the two familieswithout an iota of doubt ldquoHowcan the CM make such aresounding stupid statementon a super sensitive core reli-gious issue of the Sikh com-munity at a time when thestate is going to witness theAssembly bypoll on four seatswithin a monthrdquo he added

ON the eve of South Indianweddings it was customaryto put together a goody bag

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

I received an intricately carvedsilver bowl and spoon in the goodybag of a rich man that might havecost quite a packet Having theskill to earn and more important-ly heart to burn he made the wed-ding memorable One diamondmerchant reputed to sit on a minelike Kimberle had even embed-ded a sparkler on the invitationcard Perhaps a diamond is his vis-iting card Fancy that

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

The understanding of the term and interpretations make it complex

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

It is a shutdown whichhas been called by nonebut being followed acrossKashmir

In fact people havealtered their course ofaction The markets openfor three hours from 7 amand in some other areasthree hours in evening

During the day marketsremain shut to protestagainst the abrogation ofspecial status

ldquoThere is uncertainty allaround You cannotexpect normal thingswhen we have beenstripped off our rights injust a few hoursrdquo saidTariq Ahmad a student

However off late mili-tants and stone throwersare trying to enforce ashutdown in various partsof the Valley

The police say therehave been a few instanceswhere militants havetorched even private vehicles to enforce theshutdown

The shutdown alongwith communicationblockade has hit the nor-mal life across the Valleyfor the 51st consecutiveday While there is no offi-cial word as to whenexactly the communica-

tion will be restored peo-ple continue to suffer andare anxiously waiting for

communication restric-tions to be eased as quick-ly as possible

No call for shutdown yetmarkets remain closed

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

Trade data showed thatretail prices have shot up toRs 70-80 per kg in the Capi-tal owing to tight supplies Asimilar price trend prevailsin other parts of the country

ldquoWe have taken the bestpossible measures so far toboost supply and containonion prices We have tolook at other options likestock limit if the currenthigh price situation contin-uesrdquo Paswan said

Chandigarh September 24 Even as the Chief Ministerhas denied making a state-ment on exoneratingParkash Singh Badal in thesacrilege case Rajya Sabhamember Partap Singh Bajwaon Tuesday expressed appre-hension that Capt AmarinderSingh was getting dictated bysome extraneous forces

While other Congress lead-ers are yet to react to the CMrsquosstatement and subsequentdenial Bajwa said ldquoDamagedone by the CMrsquos remark tothe state Congress cannot beundone through a well-thought design of first play-ing the exoneration card andthen issuing denial It hashit the morale of the leaderswho have been taking onthe Badals The vital pointin this entire narrative onthe sacrilege was rooted inthe very electoral politics ofthe Badal familyrdquo

The former PPCC chiefsaid the exoneration of theBadals had further rein-forced the perception amongthe people at large in Punjababout the complicitybetween Capt Amarinderand Badals He reminded theCM that he had taken an oathholding lsquoGutka Sahibrsquo topunish the Badals for theircrime of sacrilege but he hadnow violated his own pledge

Capt Amarinder in a state-ment has said he had not giv-en a clean chit to the Badalsover their alleged involve-ment in the sacrilege case

which was more than mani-fest in their hobnobbing withDera Sacha Sauda ahead ofBargari and their recent des-perate attempts to scuttle theprobe by influencing the clo-sure report of the CBI

ldquoAt no point did I sayParkash Singh Badal or hisson Sukhbir were not involvedin the sacrilege All I have saidwas that Badal did not himselfgo and tear up the holy GuruGranth Sahib But that doesnot rule out his involvement inthe matterrdquo he said

The Badalsrsquo decision to backthe dera for support in the run-up to the polls was a politicalmove but it triggered criminalactions for which while theymay not be directly responsi-ble their accountability cantbe ignored the CM said

Besides Bir Devinder for-mer Deputy Speaker of Pun-jab Vidhan Sabha said theCMrsquos statement on Badalshad finally exposed the nexusof viewless understandingbetween the two familieswithout an iota of doubt ldquoHowcan the CM make such aresounding stupid statementon a super sensitive core reli-gious issue of the Sikh com-munity at a time when thestate is going to witness theAssembly bypoll on four seatswithin a monthrdquo he added

Meanwhile PPCC chiefSunil Jakhar said the Badalswere clearly involved in theacts of omission and commis-sion as they tried to save theperpetrators of sacrilege forvote politics and pardoningthe dera chief

ON the eve of South Indianweddings it was customaryto put together a goody bag

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

I received an intricately carvedsilver bowl and spoon in the goodybag of a rich man that might havecost quite a packet Having theskill to earn and more important-ly heart to burn he made the wed-ding memorable One diamondmerchant reputed to sit on a minelike Kimberle had even embed-ded a sparkler on the invitationcard Perhaps a diamond is his vis-iting card Fancy that

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

How are linguistic minorities to be notified Oneapproach can be to define religious minorities nationally

and linguistic minorities on the basis of the state

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

Besides the ED said manytransactions involved forgedsales documents and manysales were effected withoutinviting tenders thus flout-ing rules ldquoThere was hugemisappropriation of funds onthe part of committee mem-bers directors and loan com-mittee members of theMSCB acting in connivanceto siphon the money andcausing huge losses to thebankrdquo said the ED

ldquoThe system will also helpstreamline the process ofstock verification and qualityassessment It will help curbillegal mining and overload-ing It will supplement rev-enue collection (throughmined products) as a checkon overloading will lead to ahike in freightrdquo a source said

PM Modi can tackle terrorismfrom page 1Trump responded to ques-tions on Pakistanrsquos sustainedsponsorship of violent extrem-ism in India with a vote of con-fidence in PM Modirsquos abilityto tackle it ldquoThe Indian PrimeMinister has given a loud andclear message to Pakistanrdquo hesaid adding that ldquoPM Modiknows how to deal with itrdquo

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

added Bajrang has oftensaid in the past that as astrategy he lets his oppo-nents do the hard work inthe opening phase of thebout as it would get themtired He has made remark-able comebacks more oftenthan not due to his immenseupper body strength andagility

Chandigarh September 24 Even as the Chief Ministerhas denied making a state-ment on exoneratingParkash Singh Badal in thesacrilege case Rajya Sabhamember Partap Singh Bajwaon Tuesday expressed appre-hension that Capt AmarinderSingh was getting dictated bysome extraneous forces

While other Congress lead-ers are yet to react to the CMrsquosstatement and subsequentdenial Bajwa said ldquoDamagedone by the CMrsquos remark tothe state Congress cannot beundone through a well-thought design of first play-ing the exoneration card andthen issuing denial It hashit the morale of the leaderswho have been taking onthe Badals The vital pointin this entire narrative onthe sacrilege was rooted inthe very electoral politics ofthe Badal familyrdquo

The former PPCC chiefsaid the exoneration of theBadals had further rein-forced the perception amongthe people at large in Punjababout the complicitybetween Capt Amarinderand Badals He reminded theCM that he had taken an oathholding lsquoGutka Sahibrsquo topunish the Badals for theircrime of sacrilege but he hadnow violated his own pledge

Capt Amarinder in a state-ment has said he had not giv-en a clean chit to the Badalsover their alleged involve-ment in the sacrilege case

which was more than mani-fest in their hobnobbing withDera Sacha Sauda ahead ofBargari and their recent des-perate attempts to scuttle theprobe by influencing the clo-sure report of the CBI

ldquoAt no point did I sayParkash Singh Badal or hisson Sukhbir were not involvedin the sacrilege All I have saidwas that Badal did not himselfgo and tear up the holy GuruGranth Sahib But that doesnot rule out his involvement inthe matterrdquo he said

The Badalsrsquo decision to backthe dera for support in the run-up to the polls was a politicalmove but it triggered criminalactions for which while theymay not be directly responsi-ble their accountability cantbe ignored the CM said

Besides Bir Devinder for-mer Deputy Speaker of Pun-jab Vidhan Sabha said theCMrsquos statement on Badalshad finally exposed the nexusof viewless understandingbetween the two familieswithout an iota of doubt ldquoHowcan the CM make such aresounding stupid statementon a super sensitive core reli-gious issue of the Sikh com-munity at a time when thestate is going to witness theAssembly bypoll on four seatswithin a monthrdquo he added

ON the eve of South Indianweddings it was customaryto put together a goody bag

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

I received an intricately carvedsilver bowl and spoon in the goodybag of a rich man that might havecost quite a packet Having theskill to earn and more important-ly heart to burn he made the wed-ding memorable One diamondmerchant reputed to sit on a minelike Kimberle had even embed-ded a sparkler on the invitationcard Perhaps a diamond is his vis-iting card Fancy that

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

The understanding of the term and interpretations make it complex

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

In fact people havealtered their course ofaction The markets openfor three hours from 7 amand in some other areasthree hours in evening

During the day marketsremain shut to protestagainst the abrogation ofspecial status

ldquoThere is uncertainty allaround You cannotexpect normal thingswhen we have beenstripped off our rights injust a few hoursrdquo saidTariq Ahmad a student

However off late mili-tants and stone throwersare trying to enforce ashutdown in various partsof the Valley

The police say therehave been a few instanceswhere militants havetorched even private vehicles to enforce theshutdown

The shutdown alongwith communicationblockade has hit the nor-mal life across the Valleyfor the 51st consecutiveday While there is no offi-cial word as to whenexactly the communica-

tion will be restored peo-ple continue to suffer andare anxiously waiting for

communication restric-tions to be eased as quick-ly as possible

No call for shutdown yetmarkets remain closed

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

Trade data showed thatretail prices have shot up toRs 70-80 per kg in the Capi-tal owing to tight supplies Asimilar price trend prevailsin other parts of the country

ldquoWe have taken the bestpossible measures so far toboost supply and containonion prices We have tolook at other options likestock limit if the currenthigh price situation contin-uesrdquo Paswan said

ON the eve of South Indianweddings it was customaryto put together a goody bag

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

nouncedly auspicious It used to bethe dark-brown nuts once but laterpackets of supari were used A non-funded pseudo-professorial researchundertaken by me had revealed9799 recurring percentage of suchleaves and nuts being thrown awayunused Yet they find a place in thebags as tradition is sacrosanct

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

I received an intricately carvedsilver bowl and spoon in the goodybag of a rich man that might havecost quite a packet Having theskill to earn and more important-ly heart to burn he made the wed-ding memorable One diamondmerchant reputed to sit on a minelike Kimberle had even embed-ded a sparkler on the invitationcard Perhaps a diamond is his vis-iting card Fancy that

The reaction of the guests whoreceived a diamond or a coconutmay be varied But the best I cameacross is by the one who does notuse it for food but habitually breaksit in the nearby Lord Ganeshrsquos tem-ple seeking His blessings on thewedded couple Bravo

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

The understanding of the term and interpretations make it complex

How are linguistic minorities to be notified Oneapproach can be to define religious minorities nationally

and linguistic minorities on the basis of the state

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

Srinagar September 24As the Kashmir shutdowncontinues on the streetsof Srinagar and some oth-er parts of the Valley anew change is palpable

Unlike 2016 or 2010unrest no separatistleader is apparently guid-ing or calling the shotsThere has hardly beenany statement from a sep-aratist leader There isneither a call for shut-down nor a protest calen-dar Still the markets areclosed and traffic is offthe roads

It is a shutdown whichhas been called by nonebut being followed acrossKashmir

In fact people havealtered their course ofaction The markets openfor three hours from 7 amand in some other areasthree hours in evening

During the day marketsremain shut to protestagainst the abrogation ofspecial status

ldquoThere is uncertainty allaround You cannotexpect normal thingswhen we have beenstripped off our rights injust a few hoursrdquo saidTariq Ahmad a student

However off late mili-tants and stone throwersare trying to enforce ashutdown in various partsof the Valley

The police say therehave been a few instanceswhere militants havetorched even private vehicles to enforce theshutdown

The shutdown alongwith communicationblockade has hit the nor-mal life across the Valleyfor the 51st consecutiveday While there is no offi-cial word as to whenexactly the communica-

tion will be restored peo-ple continue to suffer andare anxiously waiting for

communication restric-tions to be eased as quick-ly as possible

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

ldquoThe system will also helpstreamline the process ofstock verification and qualityassessment It will help curbillegal mining and overload-ing It will supplement rev-enue collection (throughmined products) as a checkon overloading will lead to ahike in freightrdquo a source said

PM Modi can tackle terrorismfrom page 1Trump responded to ques-tions on Pakistanrsquos sustainedsponsorship of violent extrem-ism in India with a vote of con-fidence in PM Modirsquos abilityto tackle it ldquoThe Indian PrimeMinister has given a loud andclear message to Pakistanrdquo hesaid adding that ldquoPM Modiknows how to deal with itrdquo

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

ON the eve of South Indianweddings it was customaryto put together a goody bag

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

a factoryrsquos assembly lineBetel leaves and nuts are pro-

nouncedly auspicious It used to bethe dark-brown nuts once but laterpackets of supari were used A non-funded pseudo-professorial researchundertaken by me had revealed9799 recurring percentage of suchleaves and nuts being thrown awayunused Yet they find a place in thebags as tradition is sacrosanct

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

The understanding of the term and interpretations make it complex

How are linguistic minorities to be notified Oneapproach can be to define religious minorities nationally

and linguistic minorities on the basis of the state

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

ldquoThe system will also helpstreamline the process ofstock verification and qualityassessment It will help curbillegal mining and overload-ing It will supplement rev-enue collection (throughmined products) as a checkon overloading will lead to ahike in freightrdquo a source said

PM Modi can tackle terrorismfrom page 1Trump responded to ques-tions on Pakistanrsquos sustainedsponsorship of violent extrem-ism in India with a vote of con-fidence in PM Modirsquos abilityto tackle it ldquoThe Indian PrimeMinister has given a loud andclear message to Pakistanrdquo hesaid adding that ldquoPM Modiknows how to deal with itrdquo

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

easy points He then chasesthe game thereafterrdquo Singhtold The Tribune

ldquoBentinidis has been withBajrang for some time butthe errors are being repeatedI also asked him why he putin a challenge in the secondperiod (in the semis) wheneveryone including me knewthere was no pointrdquo Singh

added Bajrang has oftensaid in the past that as astrategy he lets his oppo-nents do the hard work inthe opening phase of thebout as it would get themtired He has made remark-able comebacks more oftenthan not due to his immenseupper body strength andagility

At Nur-Sultan Bajrangtrailed in each of his lastthree bouts mdash 0-1 in thequarterfinals against JongChol Son 0-6 against TumurOchir in the bronze medalplayoff match and 2-9against Daulet Niyazbekovin the semifinals

ON the eve of South Indianweddings it was customaryto put together a goody bag

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

I received an intricately carvedsilver bowl and spoon in the goodybag of a rich man that might havecost quite a packet Having theskill to earn and more important-ly heart to burn he made the wed-ding memorable One diamondmerchant reputed to sit on a minelike Kimberle had even embed-ded a sparkler on the invitationcard Perhaps a diamond is his vis-iting card Fancy that

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

The understanding of the term and interpretations make it complex

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

Going by a poll survey theCongressrsquo electoral

chances in Haryana andMaharashtra appear to be

next to nothing But theparty is making no attempt

to reach out to anti-BJPparties in these states to

put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure

of the Samajwadi Party andBahujan Samaj Party

in Uttar Pradesh during the 2019 Lok Sabhaelections has had a

demoralising effect on the entire opposition

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

PM Modi can tackle terrorismfrom page 1Trump responded to ques-tions on Pakistanrsquos sustainedsponsorship of violent extrem-ism in India with a vote of con-fidence in PM Modirsquos abilityto tackle it ldquoThe Indian PrimeMinister has given a loud andclear message to Pakistanrdquo hesaid adding that ldquoPM Modiknows how to deal with itrdquo

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

ON the eve of South Indianweddings it was customaryto put together a goody bag

meant for departing guests the tasksuperintended by a mirthful uncleof the bride-to-be who regaledyoung nephews with risque storiessince all would be in a celebratorymood Such joyous group activitiesthat made weddings memorablehave been taken over by business-like event managers

The plastic bags would carrynames of the couple host-hostessthe date and venue Such goodybags are in vogue even now but thecontents vary in style and value

Yet all along the main item by

default had been a coconut with thefibre removed ready to be brokenfor use in the recipientrsquos kitchenThe uncle would also dabble in qual-ity control by bringing each coconutnear his ear tapping it with his fin-gers and ruling if it was good fromthe sound it made The guest afterbreaking it at home should not feelcheated by the freebie Such feelingmight radiate negative energy onthe married couple

If the wedding was on a shoe-string budget oranges wouldreplace coconuts Having no rigidshells to shake and tap qualitycontrol was made easier Neverthe-less the uncle would detain one ortwo before stuffing like a techni-cian would a product at random in

a factoryrsquos assembly lineBetel leaves and nuts are pro-

nouncedly auspicious It used to bethe dark-brown nuts once but laterpackets of supari were used A non-funded pseudo-professorial researchundertaken by me had revealed9799 recurring percentage of suchleaves and nuts being thrown awayunused Yet they find a place in thebags as tradition is sacrosanct

Some would choose to add a smallprayer book A zealotic writer knownto me had included a compilation ofhis (unpublished) articles in the bagsfor his guests to enjoy reading themOne uncharitable review from arecipient was that the wedding din-ner was more digestible than the textprinted in the book given gratis

I received an intricately carvedsilver bowl and spoon in the goodybag of a rich man that might havecost quite a packet Having theskill to earn and more important-ly heart to burn he made the wed-ding memorable One diamondmerchant reputed to sit on a minelike Kimberle had even embed-ded a sparkler on the invitationcard Perhaps a diamond is his vis-iting card Fancy that

The reaction of the guests whoreceived a diamond or a coconutmay be varied But the best I cameacross is by the one who does notuse it for food but habitually breaksit in the nearby Lord Ganeshrsquos tem-ple seeking His blessings on thewedded couple Bravo

VICE-CHANCELLOR NALSAR LAWUNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

LAST Friday an important con-ference was held in Delhi onlsquoequal rights for Hindusrsquo Theconference discussed the dis-

criminations against the Hindus andsuggested several amendments to theConstitution It sounds bizarre that ata time when the Hindu nationalist par-ty has Hindutva as its main plank and303 seats in the Lok Sabha and govern-ments in most states Hindus feel soinsecure that they want rights that theConstitution has given to the minori-ties One must salute this leadershipfor instilling fear in the majority com-munity despite 80 per cent share inpopulation and total domination of thepower structure The BJP has beentalking of lsquojustice for all and appease-ment of nonersquo in opposing minorityrights Decades ago a BJP panelunder KR Malkani had proposed thedeletion of Article 30 that gives minori-ties the right to establish and adminis-ter educational institutions of theirchoice Today there is a demand togive minority rights to Hindus as well

Ashwini Upadhyay a BJP memberhas been filing petition after petitionon this issue in the SC Strangely thecourt has not been fully decipheringthe use of the judicial forum in fur-thering the politics of a particularideology In one such petition thecourt has referred the issue of thegrant of minority status to the Hin-dus to the National Commission forMinorities (NCM) The commissionhad constituted a sub-committeeheaded by George Cherian Vice-Chairman NCM and with ManjitSingh Rai and Atif Rasheed bothNCM members as the other mem-bers The sub-committee held 12meetings and also gave a personal

hearing to UpadhyayIn its latest report approved by the

NCM the commission has rejected allprayers ie declaration of Hindus asminorities in states where they are notin majority declaration that the notifi-cation of Muslims Christians SikhsParsis etc as minorities by the Govern-ment of India dated October 20 1993under the NCM Act 1992 as ultra viresof the Constitution framing guide-lines for the declaration of minoritiesat the state level defining minoritiesin terms of the UNrsquos Declaration onRights of Minorities (1992)

The expression lsquominoritiesrsquo hasbeen employed only at four places inthe Constitution and interestingly nodefinition of lsquominorityrsquo is givenMinority is a group that is numericallysmaller in relation to the rest of thepopulation it is non-dominant to theextent that its values are either inade-quately or not represented in the pub-lic sphere or in the constitution of soci-etal norms it has characteristics whichdiffer from the majority group andmore importantly it wishes to preservethese characteristics

There was no need for such a PIL

which is filed to create unnecessarypublic debate on issues that havealready been settled through authori-tative judgments There are a numberof decisions on this issue startingfrom the Kerala Education Bill (1957)where a seven-judge Bench explicitlytook the lsquostatersquo as a unit to determinethe minority status of groups claim-ing themselves as minorities In 2003the 11-judge SC Bench in TMA PaiFoundation case again laid down thatin the absence of any special defini-tion of minorities any communityreligious or linguistic which isnumerically less than 50 per cent ofthe population of the state is entitledto the protection of minority rights

The SC has been consistentlyobserving that minorities are to bedefined at the level of states carvedout on a linguistic basis as Article 30uses both expressions lsquominoritieswhether based on religion or lan-guagersquo I agree with the BJP that Hin-dus are entitled to the status of minor-ity community in Kashmir and inseveral Northeastern states In factthey are already linguistic minoritiesin all other states with identical rights

with the religious minorities As lin-guistic minorities these Hindugroups are running hundreds of edu-cational institutions The demand foramending the Constitution is there-fore absurd Even in the DAV Collegecase (1971) the SC held Hindus asminority in Punjab on whom thePunjabi medium of instruction can-not be compulsorily imposed

Article 30 gives the same rights toboth religious and linguistic minori-ties but it nowhere says both reli-gious and linguistic minorities mustnecessarily be determined at the lev-el of state The NCM rightly said asper Section 2 of the NCM Act theCentre alone was entitled to notify acommunity as religious minority andthe NCM did not have the power tonotify Hindus as minority in somestates This looks perfect as far as reli-gious minorities are concernedthough it is not consistent with theexisting law laid down by the SC Thepoint the NCM missed in its report isthat how linguistic minorities are tobe notified One approach can be todefine religious minorities nationallyand linguistic minorities on the basisof the state The Government of Indiaunder the National Minorities Com-mission Act has already notified a fewreligious groups as religious minori-ties for the entire country

On the definition of minority we gota highly regressive decision from theAllahabad High Court in 2005 whichheld that Muslims were not a minorityas they were too many and quite pow-erful The court held that no one was aminority in India and thus mademinority rights irrelevant The NCMrelied on the SC judgment in Bal Patil(2003) case where it refused to recog-nise Jains as minority It not only wentagainst the larger Bench judgmentsbut also negated the constitutionalvision of the preservation of distinctiveidentities The court had said no newreligious group was to be recognised asminority and the NCM must worktowards reducing the list of religiousminorities and finally doing awaywith it altogether This is a call forassimilation Our Constitution wantsintegration not assimilation

Justice at stakeAppointment transfer of judges should be above board

THE bitter tussle between the government and the judiciary overthe appointment and transfer of judges is an open secret The riftwithin the higher judiciary is also not hush-hush with the flood-

gates having opened courtesy the historic press conference by four sen-ior judges of the Supreme Court against the then Chief Justice of India(CJI) in January last year The apex court asserted on Monday that inter-ference in the system of administration of justice did not augur well forthe institution with reference to the case of Justice Akil Kureshi InMay the SC collegium had sent his name for appointment as Chief Jus-tice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court but the Centre returned the filefor lsquoreconsiderationrsquo Later the CJI-headed advisory body made therecommendation that Justice Kureshi be appointed Chief Justice of theTripura High Court The flip-flop has again cast a shadow on the col-legium which continues to function in mysterious ways behind an ironcurtain Questions are also being raised about its decision to shiftrather than impeach Chief Justice of Madras High Court Vijaya KTahilramani to the Meghalaya HC reportedly due to her lsquoshortrsquo work-ing hours and other issues The judge resigned earlier this month afterher plea for a review of the transfer order went in vain

These controversies have underlined the dire need for putting inplace a transparent system to shortlist appoint and transfer judgesIndia can take a leaf out of Americarsquos book wherein the Presidentnominates a person for a vacancy in the US Supreme Court and theSenate votes to confirm the nominee This open exercise requiringa simple majority grants both the executive and legislative branch-es of the government a say in the composition of the top court

The chequered record of Indiarsquos collegium system upheld by the SCin 2015 while striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commis-sion as unconstitutional makes it imperative to initiate self-correctivereforms Justice is the first casualty when judicial appointments and trans-fers are not above board The veil of secrecy must be lifted to ensure thatthe judiciary performs effectively as an essential pillar of democracy

Heartening for HaryanaFillip for womenrsquos education but more should be done

HARYANA has got something to cheer about For the first time thestate has more women students pursuing higher education thanmen going by the All-India Survey on Higher Education AISHE

is an annual report published by the HRD Ministry to understand thedevelopments in higher education and indicates the closing gender gapin this field Though a developed state the social parameters in Haryanadid not match its economic development with factors like female foeti-cide crime against women and the dominance of khap panchayats indi-cating a position of subjugation for women The state also courted noto-riety because of the alleged involvement of leading personalities in casesinvolving the death of Shivani Bhatnagar Jessica Lal Geetika Sharmaand Ruchika Girhotra One of its former CMs was sentenced to jail on thecharge of irregularities in the recruitment of teachers Amid all this theachievements of its sportspersons like Saina Nehwal Phogat sisters andSakshi Malik made the state proud

But these were fleeting moments The AISHE report is an indi-cation that the political leadership of the state is willing to confrontsocial issues exemplified perhaps in the slogan lsquoBeti Padhao BetiBachaorsquo Education for girls is important It empowers them givesthem control over their life and helps in improving its quality Edu-cated womenfolk mean a better understanding of what is good forthem by raising their age of marriage and in checking the populationboom It has a bearing on their health hygiene and sanitationAwareness can also help in reducing crime against women The sexratio which at one time was a cause of concern manifested in sloganslike lsquoBahu Lao Vote Paorsquo has shown signs of improvement

The state should ensure that improvements take place not only indistricts bordering the National Capital but also elsewhere With thestate elections approaching it may also give the BJP an opportuni-ty to talk about its achievements on social indices

The understanding of the term and interpretations make it complex

How are linguistic minorities to be notified Oneapproach can be to define religious minorities nationally

and linguistic minorities on the basis of the state

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

chances in Haryana andMaharashtra appear to be

next to nothing But theparty is making no attempt

to reach out to anti-BJPparties in these states to

Srinagar September 24As the Kashmir shutdowncontinues on the streetsof Srinagar and some oth-er parts of the Valley anew change is palpable

Unlike 2016 or 2010unrest no separatistleader is apparently guid-ing or calling the shotsThere has hardly beenany statement from a sep-aratist leader There isneither a call for shut-down nor a protest calen-dar Still the markets areclosed and traffic is offthe roads

It is a shutdown whichhas been called by nonebut being followed acrossKashmir

In fact people havealtered their course ofaction The markets openfor three hours from 7 amand in some other areasthree hours in evening

During the day marketsremain shut to protestagainst the abrogation ofspecial status

ldquoThere is uncertainty allaround You cannotexpect normal thingswhen we have beenstripped off our rights injust a few hoursrdquo saidTariq Ahmad a student

However off late mili-tants and stone throwersare trying to enforce ashutdown in various partsof the Valley

The police say therehave been a few instanceswhere militants havetorched even private vehicles to enforce theshutdown

The shutdown alongwith communicationblockade has hit the nor-mal life across the Valleyfor the 51st consecutiveday While there is no offi-cial word as to whenexactly the communica-

tion will be restored peo-ple continue to suffer andare anxiously waiting for

communication restric-tions to be eased as quick-ly as possible

No call for shutdown yetmarkets remain closed

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

PM Modi can tackle terrorismfrom page 1Trump responded to ques-tions on Pakistanrsquos sustainedsponsorship of violent extrem-ism in India with a vote of con-fidence in PM Modirsquos abilityto tackle it ldquoThe Indian PrimeMinister has given a loud andclear message to Pakistanrdquo hesaid adding that ldquoPM Modiknows how to deal with itrdquo

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | WEDNESDAY | 25 SEPTEMBER 2019 07OPED

IGNORANCE of law is no excusegoes a legal maxim It means thatone who violates a law cannotplead lack of knowledge about the

law violated The late Justice VR Krish-na Iyer had once suffixed it with thewords ldquoexcept for lower courtsrdquo Hesaid this on a lighter note to point outthat lower courts often err on points oflaw which the higher courts correct inappeals In retrospect however thisseems to be the ground reality of theday Laws are often misunderstoodmisconstrued and misapplied mdash notonly by laymen but also by law menofficially performing legal functionsMiscarriage of justice is indeed not tooinfrequent in our society

What has provoked me to commenton this sorry state of affairs is arecent media headline reading aslsquoGroom under 21 wedding still legalrules High Courtrsquo (The Tribune Sep-tember 20) The story reports a Pun-jab and Haryana High Court decisionthat the Registrar of Marriages atSonepat had wrongly declined to reg-ister a marriage on the ground that atthe time of the wedding the groomwas underage The parties entangledin the rigmarole were married in2011 happily lived together and wereblessed with a child Six years after

marriage they sought the registra-tion of their marriage but discover-ing that at the time of tying the knotthe groom was marginally short ofmarriageable age prescribed by lawthe Registrar of Marriages robotical-ly dismissed their application Theharassed couple then knocked at thedoors of the state high court and thematter was decided in their favour

That a marriage registrar shouldhave such an imperfect knowledge ofa law he is required to administer andneeds judicial reprimand to correctlycomprehend it speaks volumes aboutthe state of legal literacy in the corri-dors of bureaucracy

The Sonepat Marriage Registrar ishowever not alone in having such aconfused thinking about the true legalstatus of a minorrsquos marriage In Julythis year a judge of the AllahabadHigh Court ruling that the marriageof a 16-year girl was void in lawordered her internment in a NariNiketan Entertaining the aggrievedgirlrsquos appeal the Supreme Court sentnotice to the state government as perprocedure but they remained luke-warm Conscious of the palpable ille-gality of the high courtrsquos action andannoyed by the governmentrsquos dilly-dallying the court ordered personalappearance of the state Home Secre-tary This story and the Punjab andHaryana High Courtrsquos decisionreferred to the above hit media head-lines on the same date

It requires no extraordinary excel-lence to understand the law on the sta-tus of minorsrsquo marriage Due to thecontinuing pluralism in the countryrsquosfamily law the matter is simultane-ously governed by community-specif-

ic personal laws and the general lawapplicable to all regardless of reli-gion Under the statutory laws ofboth these categories the prescribedmarriage age is now 18 years for girlsand 21 years for boys mdash and the lawhas reached this stage of develop-ment in a span of 90 years

The first law enacted on the sub-ject was the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 popularlyknown as the Sarda Act (after thename of its architect Harbilas Sardawho was then a member of the Cen-tral Legislative Assembly) It fixedthe minimum age for marriage mdash 15years for girls and 18 years for boysShort-term imprisonment and finewere prescribed under it as penaltiesfor those responsible for its viola-tion Legal validity of a minorrsquos mar-riage was however left absolutely

unaffected by its provisions Enacted 26 years later the Hindu

Marriage Act of 1955 adopted mutatismutandis the provisions of the 1929Act It also borrowed from the Dissolu-tion of Muslim Marriages Act 1939the rule of lsquooption of pubertyrsquoempowering girls married at a tenderage to get the marriage dissolved oncoming of age The relief under boththe Acts was discretionary with thegirls which they could choose toignore and continue in marriage with-out let or hindrance

The Child Marriage Restraint Actand the Hindu Marriage Act wereamended in October 1978 to increasethe minimum age for marriage of girlsand boys to 18 and 21 years respec-tively The legal validity of the mar-riage of persons below the increasedage remained absolutely unaffected

also after this amendment mdash the vio-lators would still be only liable to thepunishments laid down by law

In 2006 the Child MarriageRestraint Act of 1929 was replacedwith a new Prohibition of Child Mar-riages Act applicable to all regard-less of applicable personal laws Theminimum marriage age for girls andboys remained unchanged under itbut the penalties for arrangingminorsrsquo marriage were enhanced

Under the new Act a minorrsquos mar-riage would be void at her or hisoption to be exercised within twoyears of attaining majority This relieftoo is discretionary for the minorsand cannot be imposed on themeither by their guardians or by anycourt Nor is there anything in thenew Act of 2006 from which one couldeven remotely draw the inference of aminorrsquos marriage being void

The law thus imposes penalties onpersons arranging minorsrsquo marriagesand empowers minors to get rid ofsuch a marriage on coming of ageBut till date it does not declare anysuch marriage to be void ab initio soas to be devoid of legal effects or inel-igible for legal facilities The Alla-habad High Court judge whoviewed a minorrsquos marriage as voidand hence ordered the couplersquosforced separation was as much atfault as the Sonepat Marriage Reg-istrar in whose sight a minorrsquos mar-riage would be perpetually void andhence ineligible for registration

A judge or marriage registrar maybe dissatisfied with the present lawbut they are duty-bound to apply thelaw as it is not what they in their wis-dom would like it to be

GLARING LAPSES Laws are often misunderstood misconstrued and misapplied by both laymen and law men

The new Act of 2006imposes penalties on

persons arrangingmarriages of minors

and empowers the minorsto get rid of such a marriage

on coming of age But till date it does not declare

any such marriage to bevoid ab initio so as to bedevoid of legal effects or

ineligible for legal facilities

THE BJP-led NDA is nevershort of showcasing virtues ofholding simultaneous pollsBut when it came to holding

the Jharkhand Assembly polls alongwith those of Haryana and Maharash-tra it developed cold feet

There has been no plausible explana-tion as to why Chief Minister RaghubirDas did not toy with the idea of recom-mending the dissolution of the House amonth ahead of its schedule As per theconstitutional provisions an electedgovernment enjoying majority in theHouse can advance polls by sixmonths The North Block which hasbeen proactive under the leadership ofBJP chief Amit Shah too has main-tained a stoic silence

Political grapevine has it thatadvancing Jharkhand polls did not getthe go-ahead as the political situationin the state is not conducive as inHaryana or Maharashtra This is onestate where alliance talks are still onamong the Congress JharkhandMukti Morcha Jharkhand Vikas Mor-cha (Prajatantrik) RJD and the Leftparties The Congress alliance withthe JVMP and JMM was however notrewarding in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-tions as the BJP had walked away with12 out of the 14 seats

An opinion poll conducted by ABPNews-C-Voter has shown that boththe Manohar Lal Khattar- and Deven-dra Fadnavis-led BJP-NDA govern-ments are set to return home withease The survey findings forHaryana predict 78 seats for the BJPand a single digit tally of eight for theCongress out of 90 Assembly seats inHaryana In Maharashtra the BJP-

Shiv Sena combine is projected to get205 out of 288 Assembly seats

The opposition seems happy to beunhappy Going by this surveyrsquosindication the electoral chances ofthe Congress in Haryana and Maha-rashtra appear to be next to nothingBut the party is making no attemptto reach out to anti-BJP parties inthese states to put up a joint fightPerhaps the failure of the Samajwa-di Party and Bahujan Samaj Party inUttar Pradesh during the 2019 LokSabha polls has had a demoralisingeffect on the entire opposition

In Parliament too there were nosigns of floor coordination on tripletalaq or even on gaining control ofthe parliamentary panels that wereconstituted recently

The Trinamool Congress was treat-ed shabbily but it found itselfprotesting alone

The BSP which has some presence inMaharashtra and Haryana is goingsolo in the coming round of Assemblypolls BSP supremo Mayawati is notsitting idle Rather she plans to consol-idate her traditional support base ofDalits in these states

The development is bad news for theCongress which has bravely made Sel-ja a Dalit as Haryana PCC chief Thepainstakingly-worked out efforts toretain Bhupinder Singh Hooda haveaverted a split in the Haryana Con-gress but the grand old party wouldbe struggling to get 30-odd Assemblyseats in the state

Even as Maharashtra gets ready forthe polls the Congress facing manydesertions is left wondering whetherits reliance on Maratha votes wouldhelp it put up a credible fight A Con-gress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)alliance has been worked out Since

1999 the Congress has contested threesuccessive elections with the NCP Dur-ing the 2014 Assembly elections theNCP broke the alliance literally a fewhours prior to the announcement ofpolls leaving the Congress in the lurchThe Congress-NCP ugly spat hugelyhelped the BJP to come to powerreducing its ally the Shiv Sena to apoor second spot The BJP had won 122seats in the 288-member Assemblywhile the Shiv Sena won 62 seats TheCongress and the NCP bagged 42 and41 seats respectively

Both the Congress and NCP havebeen badly hit by exodus Senior NCPleader Udayanraje Bhosale a descen-dant of warrior king Chhatrapati Shiva-ji Maharaj quit his Lok Sabha member-ship to join the BJP The developmenthas sent shock waves in the NCP andCongress circles Urmila Matondkarmay have been a newcomer but herabrupt exit and loyalist Kripa ShankarSingh leaving the Congress havereduced the Congress to a headless par-ty There is constant speculation (with-out much substance though) that topleaders like Milind Deora may dosomething ldquounthinkablerdquo

On the caste matrix the Congressmove to accommodate the Marathasa dominant group that has been mak-ing the NCP and the Congress isbecoming shaky In the PrithvirajChavan government of the Congress-NCP in 2014 70 per cent of the NCPquota (17) and 60 per cent of the INCquota (15) were filled with Marathasas ministers In terms of numbersthis was grossly imbalanced TheMaratha vote share in Maharashtra isaround 24-28 per cent while Muslims

are eight per cent Brahmins threeper cent other upper castes seven percent Dalits 10 per cent and OBCsaround 45 per cent In other words 23out of 34 ministerial berths were heldby Marathas when the Congress andNCP were in power in the state

The 2019 Lok Sabha polls sawAsaduddin Owaisi and PrakashAmbedkarrsquos Vanchit Bahujan Aghadigetting a sizeable number of votesBut so far Congressrsquo talks with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadi SwabhimaniShetkari Sanghatana and SamajwadiParty have not resulted in any broad-based alliance If alliance talks workout 38 Assembly seats would be allo-cated to smaller allies Congresssources indicate while admitting thattime is running out

On a larger scale it has been over 45days since Sonia Gandhi took over asthe interim Congress chief On thepositive side she seems to be in con-trol and a semblance of normalcy isthere But it is a deceptive calmnessThe two spokespersons appointed byher are young dynasts mdash AnshulMeira Kumar and SharmishthaMukherjee They are not a patch onMeira Kumar or Pranab MukherjeeWith the party continuing its boycottof TV news channel debates suchappointments are meaninglessMany young dynasts like Deora JitinPrasada and Jyotiraditya Scindiacontinue to be restless

After the poll verdict on October 24BJP-NDA circles have a sense of antic-ipation to celebrate Diwali in a grandway even as the Congress is bracingitself for another round of desponden-cy and uncertainty

During the day marketsremain shut to protestagainst the abrogation ofspecial status

However off late mili-tants and stone throwersare trying to enforce ashutdown in various partsof the Valley

The police say therehave been a few instanceswhere militants havetorched even private vehicles to enforce theshutdown

The shutdown alongwith communicationblockade has hit the nor-mal life across the Valleyfor the 51st consecutiveday While there is no offi-cial word as to whenexactly the communica-

tion will be restored peo-ple continue to suffer andare anxiously waiting for

communication restric-tions to be eased as quick-ly as possible

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

During the day marketsremain shut to protestagainst the abrogation ofspecial status

ldquoThere is uncertainty allaround You cannotexpect normal thingswhen we have beenstripped off our rights injust a few hoursrdquo saidTariq Ahmad a student

However off late mili-tants and stone throwersare trying to enforce ashutdown in various partsof the Valley

The police say therehave been a few instanceswhere militants havetorched even private vehicles to enforce theshutdown

The shutdown alongwith communicationblockade has hit the nor-mal life across the Valleyfor the 51st consecutiveday While there is no offi-cial word as to whenexactly the communica-

tion will be restored peo-ple continue to suffer andare anxiously waiting for

communication restric-tions to be eased as quick-ly as possible

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

added Bajrang has oftensaid in the past that as astrategy he lets his oppo-nents do the hard work inthe opening phase of thebout as it would get themtired He has made remark-able comebacks more oftenthan not due to his immenseupper body strength andagility

Chandigarh September 24The National DisasterResponse Force (NDRF) hastied up with the Central Scien-tific Instruments Organisation(CSIO) here to develop varioussensors and associated equip-ment that can be used in res-cue and relief operations

To begin with a dopplerradar has been developed thatcan be used for detecting per-sons who get buried underdebris in case of a calamity butare still alive The radar uses anultra-wide bandwidth allow-ing its waves to pass throughphysical objects that otherwisetend to reflect signals having anarrow bandwidth

According to scientistsassociated with the projectthe radar detects regularperiodic human move-ments like breathing andheartbeat and is able to dif-ferentiate them from othermovements like shifting ofconcrete or earth It hasmultiple applications withdifferent agencies includ-

ing the armed forcesldquoIn the ongoing develop-

ment phase the radar hasbeen able to detect and differ-entiate persons up to a dis-tance of four metres Weintend to increase the distanceto 15 metres and thereafterwe will conduct trials at anNDRF facilityrdquo a scientist said

A memorandum of under-standing has also been

signed between the NDRFand the CSIO under whichexisting technology withthe CSIO would be madeavailable for use by theNDRF if it suits their needsFurther the CSIO wouldtake up projects to developtechnology and instrumen-tation to meet the NDRFrsquosspecific requirements

The NDRF the countryrsquosnodal relief and rescueagency in time of natural orman-made disasters is look-ing at indigenous sourcesfor procuring equipment aswell as for undertakingrepair and maintenance ofits inventory

Its 12 battalions stationed atvarious locations across thecountry have an inventory ofseveral hundred items suchas power tools medical equip-ment power generatorsboats vehicles ambulanceslighting equipment rescuegadgets communicationequipment safety gear andequipment for containing fall-out from nuclear chemical orbiological incidents

Radar thatrsquoll detectpeople under debrisNDRF ties up with CSIO to develop equipment

HOW IT WORKS The radar detects regu-

lar periodic humanmovements like breath-ing and heartbeat

Is able to differentiatethem from other move-ments like shifting ofconcrete or earth

It has multiple applicationswith different agenciesincluding the armed forces

4metre is the distanceup to which radar can differentiate people

15 metre is the target set by the agencies for detecting people

from page 1Speaking for the Benchacting Chief Justice Shar-ma added that the peti-tioner was ldquoestoppedrdquofrom challenging thedelimitation process at abelated stage after thelapse of almost 12 years

Appearing before theBench the petitionerrsquoscounsel had initially sub-mitted that the proposalfor delimitation of parlia-mentary and Assemblyconstituencies in Haryanawas published vide orderdated October 30 2006

The petitioner made arepresentation but thefact of the matter was that final decision wastaken by the delimitationcommission in the matteron February 15 2007After going through thecontentions and the peti-tion the Bench dismissedthe petition

The High Court hasalready been told duringthe hearing of anothercase that the exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituencieswould be carried out only

after 2026Assistant Solicitor-Gen-

eral of India Chetan Mittalhad submitted that thenext delimitation commis-sion would be set up after2026 ldquowhen it will con-duct a fresh exercise ofdelimitation and reserva-tion of Assembly and par-liamentary constituen-ciesrdquo Mittal has prayedfor a monthrsquos time to filean additional affidavit forelaborating on themethodology adopted

The Bench in the casehas made clear its intentto examine whether con-sistent guidelines orparameters were beingfollowed by the Delimita-tion Commission whilemaking reservation of the legislative Assemblyconstituencies

The directions cameafter the Bench was toldthat the DelimitationCommission made reser-vation arbitrarily byreserving a seat in almostevery district without taking into considerationthe ratio of castes popula-tion and the dominantcaste factor

ldquoThe system will also helpstreamline the process ofstock verification and qualityassessment It will help curbillegal mining and overload-ing It will supplement rev-enue collection (throughmined products) as a checkon overloading will lead to ahike in freightrdquo a source said

PM Modi can tackle terrorismfrom page 1Trump responded to ques-tions on Pakistanrsquos sustainedsponsorship of violent extrem-ism in India with a vote of con-fidence in PM Modirsquos abilityto tackle it ldquoThe Indian PrimeMinister has given a loud andclear message to Pakistanrdquo hesaid adding that ldquoPM Modiknows how to deal with itrdquo

However a trade dealbetween India and the USproved elusive though Trumpsaid ldquoI think very soon we willhave a trade dealrdquo Trump saidBut the brief meeting with himon the sidelines of the UN Gen-eral Assembly in New Yorkenabled PM Modi to outlinethe devastation India has suf-fered from cross-border terror-ism that has led to the loss of42000 lives in the past 30 years

PM Modi informed Trumpthat he had reached out to Pak-istan but to no avail In thisregard he mentioned hisldquouniquerdquo trip to Lahore inDecember 2015 with minimumsecurity but the payback wasan attack on the Pathankot air-

base whose perpetrators Pak-istan had not brought to justice

Briefing the media after the30-minute meeting ForeignSecretary Vijay Gokhaletried to play down the tradepart of the discussions eventhough Commerce MinisterPiyush Goel had especiallyflown in from India and hasengaged with US Trade Rep-resentative Robert Lighthiz-er over a couple of days

Before beginning delega-tion-level talks PM Modiunderlined the importance ofIndiarsquos investment plans of $25 billion in a US gas majorwhich will have a multipliereffect of $60 billion in tradeand create 50000 jobs

Aware that his meetingwould be benchmarked withthat with Imran Khan PMModi pointed out that in fourmonths since Modi 20 hehad already met the US Pres-ident thrice ldquoThis is a rela-tionship of ease and continu-ous engagement and thatrsquosan adequate signal for theworldrdquo he observed

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

textile mills but millsacross the country

Perturbed over the ris-ing imports NITMA hasproposed to increase thebasic custom duty on poly-ester yarns from the cur-rent 5 to 10

The textile mills in theNorthern region have acombined turnover of Rs50000 crore With aninstalled capacity of 750lakh spindles the north-ern region contributes15 to the total capacityof the country The regioncomprising PunjabHaryana Uttar PradeshRajasthan and HimachalPradesh has around 200spinning units

Chandigarh September 24If weak export demand anduncompetitive prices werenot enough for the textilemills in North the phenom-enal increase in the importedpolyester yarn from Indone-sia and Vietnam under thefree trade agreement (FTA)is posing a threat to thedomestic industry

According to data froman average monthlyimport of 565 tonnes fromthese two countries in thepre-GST period theimports have risen to 5400tonnes in the past twomonths especially in Julyand August this year

Volume wise the increaseis 4835 tonnes per monthand in percentage terms itregistered a whopping855 increase in quantityin just 26 months

Cotton spinning mills inthe North have alreadyresorted to production cutas they are grappling withweak export demandWhile a few mills havestopped production someare reducing the numberof working days andshifts On an average theproduction is down by25-30 The substantialincrease in importedyarn has further addedto their miseries

According to SanjayGarg president NorthernIndia Textile Mills Associ-ation the finished product

of the mills mdash polyesteryarn mdash is included in thelist of items being clearedwith SAFTA and importedat zero duty whereas theraw material mdash polyesterstaple fibre (PSF) mdash is notincluded in this list andhence cleared at full dutyrate of 5

He said in the pre-GSTregime there used to be

some protection against theinflux of imports underthese FTAs as importedyarns were subject to Cen-vat (12) and a special addi-tional duty (SAD) of 4whereas the domestic yarnwas exempted from Cenvat

However post-GST theCenvat and SAD wasremoved and this has ledto astronomical increasein the quantity of yarnbeing imported fromIndonesia and Vietnam

The industry apprehendsthat the size of the spinningmills in Indonesia are hugeand if left unchecked thisfigure will surely increasethreatening the survival ofnot just the North Indian

added Bajrang has oftensaid in the past that as astrategy he lets his oppo-nents do the hard work inthe opening phase of thebout as it would get themtired He has made remark-able comebacks more oftenthan not due to his immenseupper body strength andagility

At Nur-Sultan Bajrangtrailed in each of his lastthree bouts mdash 0-1 in thequarterfinals against JongChol Son 0-6 against TumurOchir in the bronze medalplayoff match and 2-9against Daulet Niyazbekovin the semifinals
