  • Public Domain Information Resources
    CHAPTER 4 PUBLIC DOMAIN INFORMATION RESOURCES Chap. 4—Public Domain Information Resources UNESCO Recommendation on Promotion and use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace provides the following definition: “Public domain information refers to publicly accessible information, the use of which does not infringe any legal right, or any obligation of confidentiality. It thus refers on the one hand to the realm of all works or objects of related rights, which can be exploited by everybody without any authorization, for instance because protection is not granted under national or international law, or because of the expiration of the term of protection. It refers on the other hand to public data and official information produced and voluntarily made available by governments or international organizations.1” 4.1 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES Parliamentary Debate is a recording of conversation of parliamentarians of a nation to discuss over agenda, proposed legislations and other developmental programmes. It is treated as primary legal literature and very useful for legal research scholars. While tracing the origin of legislation, it is quite useful to refer parliamentary debates of parliamentarians over the bill or proposed legislations.

Nedumpara & Ors. ….. Petitioner(s) :Versus: Supreme Court of India & Ors. …..Respondent(s) AND WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) NO. 892 OF 2018 Centre for Accountability and Systemic Change & Ors. ….. Petitioner(s) :Versus: Secretary General & Ors. …..Respondent(s) 2 J U D G M E N T A.M. Khanwilkar, J. 1. The petitioners and interventionists, claiming to be public spirited persons, have sought a declaration that Supreme Court case proceedings of “constitutional importance having an impact on the public at large or a large number of people” should be live streamed in a manner that is easily accessible for public viewing. Further direction is sought to frame guidelines to enable the determination of exceptional cases that qualify for live streaming and to place those guidelines before the Full Court of this Court. To buttress these prayers, reliance has been placed on the dictum of a nine-Judge Bench of this Court in Naresh Shridhar Mirajkar and Ors. Vs. State of Maharashtra and Ors.,1 which has had an occasion to inter alia consider the arguments of journalists that they had a fundamental right to carry on their occupation under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution; that they also had a right to attend the proceedings in court under Article 19(1)(d); and that their right 1 (1966) 3 SCR 744 3 to freedom of speech and expression guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) included their right to publish a faithful report of the proceedings which they had witnessed and heard in Court as journalists.

  • Judiciary of India
    Judiciary of India There are various levels of judiciary in India – different types of courts, each with varying powers depending on the tier and jurisdiction bestowed upon them. They form a strict hierarchy of importance, in line with the order of the courts in which they sit, with the Supreme Court of India at the top, followed by High Courts of respective states with district judges sitting in District Courts and Magistrates of Second Class and Civil Judge (Junior Division) at the bottom. Courts hear criminal and civil cases, including disputes between individuals and the government. The Indian judiciary is independent of the executive and legislative branches of government according to the Constitution. Courts- Supreme Court of India On 26 January 1950, the day India’s constitution came into force, the Supreme Court of India was formed in Delhi. The original Constitution of 1950 envisaged a Supreme Court with a Chief Justice and 7 puisne Judges – leaving it to Parliament to increase this number. In the early years, all the Judges of the Supreme Court sit together to hear the cases presented before them. As the work of the Court increased and arrears of cases began to accumulate, Parliament increased the number of Judges from 8 in 1950 to 11 in 1956, 14 in 1960, 18 in 1978 and 26 in 1986. As the number of the Judges has increased, they sit in smaller Benches of two and three – coming together in larger Benches of 5 and more only when required to do so or to settle a difference of opinion or controversy.

    CENSUS OF INDIA 1981 SERIES 2 .ANDH ~A ,PRADESH DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK WARANGAL PARTS XIII-A & B VILLAGE & TOWN DIRECTORY i VILLAGE & TOWNWISE PRIMARY CENSUS ABSTRACT S. S. JAYA RAO OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE DIRECTOR OF CENSUS OPERATIONS ANDHRA PRADESH PUBLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH 1986 POTHANA - THE GREAT DEVOUT POET The motif presented on the cover page represents Bammera Pothana, also called Pothanamatya, a devout poet belonging to the 15th century A. D. said to have hailed from the village Bammera near Warangal. The spiritual history of India is replete with devotional poetry and it was termed as BHAKTI movement, the 'CULT OF DEVOTION'. The SRIMADANDHRA MAHA­ BHAGA VATHAM rendered in Telugu by Pothana gave necessary fillip to this movement And nay! he could be treated as a progenitor of this movement. Pothana started this movement even before Chaitanya started the same movement in Bengal and Vallabh8chC/rya in Gujarat. In the Telugu country, this movement wastaken to great heights by Saints and lyricists like Annamacharya, Kshetrayya and Ramadas of Bhadrachalam fa"!e. Besides Bhagavatham,Pothana wrote VEERABHADRA VIJAYAM in praise of Lord Siva, which could be considered almost a Saivaite AGAMA SASTRA, BHOGINI DANDAKAM and NARA YANA SATAKAM, a devotional composition in praise of Lord Narayana or Vishnu. Pothana was a great poet of aesthetic eminence and his style was so simple and attractive to the common people as well as pedants. It is charming and sweet, and it won the hearts of the Telugu speaking people in a great sweep. He was one among the three or four top ranking Telugu poets of those days and even today.
