The Delhi Judicial Academy has, since its inception, been providing a forum for learning and interaction amongst the Judges at all levels to debate on the judicial processes with the objective of providing quality justice to all in accordance with the constitutional values. It has endeavoured to help the officers at all levels to update themselves with the latest developments in the field of law and in assessing the importance of interface between law and society. It is heartening to know that the Delhi Judicial Academy has, in the past few years, incorporated contemporary areas of law in its curriculum with the objective of preparing the judges and other stakeholders to face the future challenges. It has also made a commendable effort of continuously and effectively sensitizing judges with respect to the realities of the interface between law and the marginalized, focusing on honing their capacities to translate their sensitivity into enhanced access to justice for all. Further, it has included programmes on Law and Information Technology, its relevance and importance and also use of new technology for conducting scientific investigation and to make functioning of courts more efficient. Legal Journals constitute a site for holistic engagement by incorporating varied perspectives and approaches to legal issues. They are not only important source of knowledge that update readers with latest trends and advances in the legal arena but also stimulate their intellect and thus offer the readers an opportunity to reflect upon and assess the trend. Such a stimulus ensures that further developments in law make the legal regime more fair and just. The legal Journal being published by the Delhi Judicial Academy gives an opportunity to the judicial officers at all levels, along with the academia, to contribute to the legal literature relevant for judicial education and training and vi JOURNAL OF THE DELHI JUDICIAL ACADEMY [VOL. - 9 also for building the capacity of the judicial officers in the new and emerging areas as well as in the traditional jurisdictions. The constructive criticism of the legislation and the judicial decisions help in improving the justice delivery system and the quality of justice as a whole. The incontrovertible truth is that learning is intricately connected to the performance of a judge. If we want to have an effective, responsive, accessible and fair judiciary, it is crucial that judges at all levels should constantly and effectively engage in the process of pursuing higher intellectual attainments. I congratulate the Editorial Board and all those who have made contributions to this Journal with commendable efforts. The authors in the present volume have made seminal contributions in their respective articles covering the very sensitive aspect of victim compensation, child rights, law relating to labour rights as also various other contemporary issues and topics. I also extend my best wishes for the success of the publication and look forward to seeing new volumes year after year. (G. ROHINI) CHIEF JUSTICE High Court of Delhi, Sher Shah Road, New Delhi-110003. Tel.: Court 43010101 Fax : 23782731 S. RAVINDRA BHAT Residence : 8, Rajaji Marg, New JUDGE Delhi-110011. Tel .: 23012326 MESSAGE It gives me immense pleasure to convery my best wishes to the Academy to have come up with ‘Journal of Delhi Judicial Academy 2016’. The Journal has good mix of contributions made by academia, judges and advocates covering a wide range of subjects. I am confident that the Journal would - in keeping with the high standards and quality of the Academy’s efforts-help contributing to the judicial education and would further provide a platform to judge, academia and others stake holders in the justice delivery system to share their ideas and knowledge. The considerable effort, which has gone into giving shape to the Journal, is apparent. I congratulate the editorial team as well as the contributors. I am confident that the journal would be well received by its readers and would be of use. With warms wishes, (S. RAVINDRA BHAT) EDITORIAL Judicial education is an integral part of the Common Law legal system. The changing needs of the society and the plethora of laws made from time to time throw up new challenges for the judiciary, making dispensation of justice a difficult task. In this context, judicial education and training play a crucial role towards improving judicial skills and capacities of the judges and other functionaries in the justice delivery system. It is also important today to sensitize the judiciary about the socio-economic realities that exist in the society in order to dispel the common myth that judicial decisions are based on inflexible laws and procedures. The evolving jurisprudence has credibly established that the duty of a judge is not confined to delivering judicial decisions alone but entails a bigger challenge of serving the process of justice as such. Hence arises the need to encourage our judiciary to not just follow a technocratic approach, but a humane one in consonance with the constitutional values while deciding cases. Judicial education is also vital to equip our judges with the necessary decision-making skills in cases that do not involve much of legal or objective base, or that involve questions of morality or subjectivity. Judicial training can also guide judges to write judgements and orders that are concise but reasoned, reader-friendly to the parties and the appellate courts - an essential component of access to justice. The decisions should also be worded clearly to make it easier for the masses to understand since the law laid down by the apex court is the law of the land, ignorance of law being no excuse. The objective of such training is also to expand capacities of our judicial officers and to make them aware about the latest developments in Science & Technology to make it easier for them to deal with cases in the emerging areas like cyber crimes and to appreciate the nuances of electronic evidence.

  • Appointment of Advocates in Supreme Court - a Critical Study
    International Journal of Innovative Research and Advanced Studies (IJIRAS) ISSN: 2394-4404 Volume 5 Issue 4, April 2018 Appointment Of Advocates In Supreme Court - A Critical Study S. Sozhiya Ms. Purnima 1st Year, BA.LLB (Hons), Saveetha School of Law, Saveetha Assistant Professor, Saveetha School of Law, Saveetha University University, BA.BL.LLM. Abstract: The Advocates Act of 1961 prescribes that there shall be in India two classes of advocates, advocates and senior advocates. The senior advocates shall be those advocates who have been designated by the high court or the Supreme Court if they are of the opinion that by virtue of ability virtue ability, standing at the Bar or special knowledge or experience in law, they are deserving of such distinction. In practice, the process of appointments is governed by the rules of the high court and the rules of the Supreme Court. Usually, the procedure across the country is that for an advocate to be designated, there is a requirement that the full court (i.e all the judges in that court) be in favour of it via a vote. This leads to an interesting problem though, the rank of seniority is one that is held nation wide if the designated senior advocate continues to hold their rank before other high courts and the Supreme Court. This has over the years led to the rather distasteful practice of some advocates seeking to be designated by courts that are smaller in size and then ceasing to practice in that court altogether. Thus, this research paper deals with the issues relating to the appointment of advocates in Supreme Court and the discrimination among the advocates in the appointment.

  • “Process of Appointments to the Higher Judiciary”
    Volume 7, November 2019 ISSN 2581-5504 “Process of appointments to the Higher Judiciary” Shashwat Sarin O.P. Jindal Global University We all in our daily lives have heard the term judiciary and are aware that Judges decide cases and matters. But have you ever wondered who these Judges are, how they are appointed and given such a position of immense authority and responsibility. This a great question to ponder upon. The significance of having meritorious, deserving and efficient judges cannot be emphasized more and is imperative for a developing economy like India. The Indian courts are over- burdened with cases, backlog and Judges delivering badly reasoned and written judgments worsen the situation. The Constitution of India has provisions, which stipulate the appointment of Judges to the High Court and Supreme Court under Article 124 and 217. Initially, Judges in India were appointed by the collegium system to the High Courts and Supreme Courts. This system was developed through three landmark cases, also named as the Three Judges' Cases. A collegium consists of the Chief Justice of India and four other senior- most judges for appointment to the S.C and two judges of the S.C. for appointment to the High court. At the first instance, this sounds just and fair. But when we delve into this more, we realize that this is very problematic as it lacks accountability and transparency. Who is the collegium accountable to? How are the judges competent for the task? Is age the only factor to be a part of the collegium? What if the collegium has arbitrary grounds for selecting judges and the judges end up delivering devastating judgments? There is no basis for it most of the times which makes it very non-transparent.

  • 17-06-2015 U.S. to Curb Trans Fats by 2018 New Law May Ban Use Of
    17-06-2015 U.S. to curb trans fats by 2018 New law may ban use of partially hydrogenated oils or trans fats, which clog arteries, without prior regulator approval. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that it will seek to eliminate majority of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) from the country’s food supply by 2018. The decision comes after years of lobbying by health advocates and scientists that artificial oils, commonly called “trans fats”, clog arteries and raise the risk of heart disease. The FDA aims to revoke the current status of PHOs as a “generally recognised as safe” food product and reclassify it as a “food additive.” This implies that manufacturers would no longer be able to use the oils in other foods without prior regulator approval. The new policy could prevent as many as 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths from heart disease each year in the country. FDA said the action “demonstrates the agency’s commitment to the heart health of all Americans.” The popularity of trans fats in the U.S. soared in the 1940s, emerging as a key ingredient in everything from cake mixes to pizza. Since 2006 the FDA has insisted that food firms include trans fat content information on labels. Although the consumption of trans fat fell nearly 80 per cent between 2003 and 2012, more studies emerged suggesting its harmful effects. A 2002 investigation by the Institute of Medicine found there was “no safe level of trans fatty acids and people should eat as little of them as possible.” By November 2013 the FDA recognised trans fats as a threat to public health.
