    CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN MEDIA ETHICS ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of $I)tIos(opI)p IN PHILOSOPHY By MD. EHSAN Under the Supervision of M. MUQIM DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY, ALIGARH (INDIA) 2009 ABSTRACT Twenty first century is the century of knowledge and information. Knowledge is the power. Media such as newspapers, radio, television, magazines, internet etc. are the primary and central source of information and knowledge of this fast moving world. Hence, media enjoys enormous power and exerts tremendous impacts on our lives. Media as a powerful institution not only disseminates information and knowledge rather it influences our lives, our political systems and our society as a whole. It shapes our opinions, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. It affects our decision and judgment about family, home, education, institution etc. through information and knowledge it provides. So much so that it fashions our tastes and moral standards, and socializes our younger generation. Furthermore, media has got important role to play in democracy. It is media which helps democracy become 'of and 'by' the people. It wheels democracy. It facilitates democracy by making interaction between the governed and the governor. Moreover, it is considered to be the back bone as well as the fourth pillar of democracy. * I am using media as a singular noun In view of the enormous power implicit in media, its tremendous impacts on our lives and on our governing systems, and in view of its deep penetration in our society the need arises to use it with great caution and control.

  • SUPREME COURT of INDIA* Civil Appeals Nos
    SUPREME COURT OF INDIA* Civil Appeals Nos. 887 and 909 of 1975$ (Decision dated 7-11-1975) In C.A. No. 887 of 1975 Smt. Indira Nehru Gandhi ..Appellant Vs. Shri Raj Narain ..Respondent In C.A. No. 909 of 1975 Shri Raj Narain ..Appellant Vs. Smt. Indira Nehru Gandhi ..Respondent SUMMARY OF THE CASE Smt.Indira Nehru Gandhi was elected to the House of the People from Rae Bareli Parliamentary Constituency in March, 1971. Her election was challenged by one of the rival candidates Shri Raj Narain, before the Allahabad High Court by an election petition. The High Court, by its judgment and order dated 12.6.1975, allowed the election petition and declared the election of Smt. Indira Nehru Gandhi as void. The High Court held that Smt. Gandhi had procured assistance of Shri Yashpal Kapoor, a Gazetted Officer of the Government of India, the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police, Rae Bareli, the Executive Engineer, PWD, and the Engineer, Hydel Department, for her election campaign and had thus committed corrupt practices under Section 123 (7) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Aggrieved by the order of the Allahabad High Court, Smt. Indira Nehru Gandhi filed the present appeal before the Supreme Court. A cross-appeal was also filed by Shri Raj Narain. During the pendency of these appeals, Parliament passed the Election Laws (Amendment) Act, 1975. By this Amendment Act, several provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 were amended retrospectively. Further, Parliament also passed the Constitution (Thirty-ninth Amendment) Act, 1975. By this Amendment Act, a new Article 329-A was inserted into the Constitution to provide, inter alia, that the election to Parliament of a person, who holds office of Prime Minister or Speaker of the Lok Sabha at the time of such election or is appointed as Prime Minister or Speaker after such election, shall be called in question only before a specially prescribed authority [and not before the High Court under Article 329 (b) of the Constitution].

The difference is that while the latter has usually been admired for their writing, the public has almost always damned lawyers and judges for theirs.

LANDMARK JUDGEMENTS ON ELECTION LAW ( A Compilation of important and far-reaching Judgements pronounced by Supreme Court of India, High Courts and Election Commission of India ) VOLUME - I ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA NEW DELHI Dr. M. S. Gill Chief Election Commissioner of India FOREWORD India has recently celebrated the Golden Jubilee of its independence, and is on the threshold of a new millenium. During the last 50 years of independence, which we, the people of India, adopted as the way of governance of our country, has moved from strength to strength. India is now regarded, by the international community, as one of the most stable democracies in the world. The Election Commission of India, an independent constitutional authority, has played a fundamental and critical role in the evolution of Indian democracy. In the discharge of its constitutional responsibility of conducting free, fair and peaceful elections in he country, the hands of the Election Commission have been strengthened by the Supreme Court of India, by its several landmark judgements, pronouncing upon the provisions of the constitution of India, and the laws relating to the elections. These judgements of the Supreme Court, the guiding stars, not only for the Courts, but also for the Election Commission, its electoral machinery, Governments at the Center and in the states, political parties and the candidates contesting elections. These judgements are reported in various law journals and reports, scattered over a period of 50 years. A growing need was being felt for a collection of these judgements, for facility of reference and guidance. Often, requests for copies of such judgements have also been received by the Commission from various international organisations and for a, interested in the study of elections and election laws of India.

He had created new political space and fought against the dominance of two communities Lingayaths and Vokkaligas in Karnataka state. He succeeded considerably as the champion of social justice and economic development of the weaker sections. Urs also promoted a good number of leaders representing the oppressed sections of society in the political sector. The social dynamics among backward classes in the region had brought to the fore new political equations. Urs consciously carried out social engineering and political organization of the oppressed sections of society. He initiated a process of broadening and deepening democracy in the state. He succeeded in achieving the paradigm shift in Karnataka state despite stiff resistance from the dominant powers. Urs argued that the disadvantaged groups within religious groupings and minorities need to be brought within the net of affirmative action.
