Prof. C.M. Jariwala, Dean (Academics), Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University, Lucknow DR. RAM MANOHAR LOHIYA NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY, LUCKNOW 3 Message From The PLACEMENT CELL The changing paradigm of legal education in India has changed the perception about means and methods of learning law – as we call it, 'first unlearn and then learn', where the students are allowed to challenge the old doctrines and suggest new ones. Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University, Lucknow, has not only been a witness to the winds of change sweeping the landscape of legal education in India but also a proud participant in the process. The pride of place, which the university enjoys amongst the law schools, is mainly due to the many laurels brought by its students. It gives me immense pleasure to introduce a batch of aspiring lawyers, who were admitted to this University through the rigorous Common Law Admission Test ('CLAT') in the year 2016 and shall be graduating in the year 2021. This starry-eyed bunch of talented students has built an excellent super-structure of excellence in varied elds of academia. Be it prestigious national and international moots, academic writing and debating, seminars and symposia, sports, and cultural events, the Batch of 2021 has come through with ying colours, setting new benchmarks for their junior batches. During their ve-year-long stay at the university campus, besides being exposed to a rigorous curriculum in law and allied disciplines, these students have also imbibed presently rare moral values and therefore, look at the socio-legal issues from a blend of pragmatic and ethical perspective. I take this opportunity to invite you to be a part of the recruitment process for the Batch of 2021 at our campus. As the Chairperson of the Internship and Placement Committee, it would be my proud privilege to host you at RMLNLU and extend to you our warmest hospitality.

  • Combating Corruption
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by International Public Management Review COMBATING CORRUPTION: LESSONS OUT OF INDIA Krishna K. Tummala ABSTRACT This paper deals with the ubiquitous problem of corruption among public officials– both elected and appointed, in India. By looking at the legal and administrative provisions to combat corruption, it is shown how futile the attempts so far have been. Among the plethora of reasons for failure to combat corruption, it is concluded that the more important ones are the inadequate and inefficient enforcement mechanisms, lack of political will, and more importantly the cultural context of social tolerance and easy forgiveness. Any outrage that is there is largely confined to rhetoric, not action. Despite some helpful developments such as the newly conferred freedom of information, active investigative media and engaged civic groups, reasons for optimism appear to be minimal. The need seems to be a serious effort to develop sound norms by changing the societal culture, which places the premium on the shoulders of political parties. International Public Management Review · electronic Journal at http://www.ipmr.net 34 Volume 10 · Issue 1 · 2009 · © International Public Management Network “One cannot mandate honesty.” Veerappa Moily, Chair, Second Administrative Reforms Commission, 2007 India did not invent corruption, but it seems to excel in it. Preoccupation with the subject is almost ancient. While categorizing “forty ways of embezzlement” and as to how to deal with that, Kautilya made the following observation about human behavior: “Just as it is impossible not to taste the honey or the poison that finds itself at the tip of the tongue, so it is impossible for a government servant not to eat up, at least, a bit of the king’s revenue.

  • Judicial Review and Money BILLS
    J UDICIAL REVIEW AND MONEY BILLS Pratik Datta, Shefali Malhotra & Shivangi Tyagi* Under the existing constitutional scheme in India, for a bill to be enacted into a law, it has to be approved by both Houses of the Parliament – the Lower House (Lok Sabha) and the Upper House (Rajya Sabha). However, one significant exception to this general rule is the certification of a bill as a ‘money bill’ by the Speaker of the Lower House, whereupon the bill can be enacted into a law by the Lower House alone, without any approval from the Upper House. Although the scope of a ‘money bill’ is broadly delineated in the Constitution, it is possible that a bill could be incorrectly certified as a ‘money bill’ by the Speaker and enacted into a law without the approval of the Upper House. Further, the Constitution accords finality to the decision of the Speaker as to whether the bill is a ‘money bill’, thus raising issues such as whether such finality would bar the Supreme Court from review- ing the accuracy of the Speaker’s decision in this regard; and whether the Supreme Court can strike down such a law as being unconstitutional, if the Speaker’s decision is indeed found to be incorrect. In this paper, we exam- ine these questions which are of immense contemporary relevance in India, and attempt to posit our conclusions to the same. I. INTRODUCTION Under the extant constitutional scheme in India, for a bill to be enacted into a law, it has to be approved by both Houses of the Parliament – the Lower House (Lok Sabha) and the Upper House (Rajya Sabha).

  • Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options
    Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options Sandip Sukhtankar1 Milan Vaishnav2 April 27, 2015 Abstract Corruption has become an increasingly salient issue in India today, spawning both enormous interest from the media as well as a large amount of academic research. Yet there is a large gap between what has captured the media’s attention, the policy options under discussion, and the actual evidence base drawn from empirical research on corruption. We attempt to bridge this gap, directly addressing the particular challenges that corruption in India poses. Academic evidence supports the popular perception that corruption is widespread and endemic. However, we find that the costs of day-to-day corruption are just as large, if not larger, than those of the “scams” that dominate headlines. Further, we find that there is very little evidence to support the idea that greater transparency, information, and community based efforts have a significant impact on reducing corruption on their own. This is also true for some technological interventions, although those interventions – like direct benefit transfers – that bypass middlemen and corrupt officials have a much greater scope for success, as do interventions that transfer bargaining power to citizens and beneficiaries. We find much to commend in the sensible and wide-ranging legislative agenda to combat corruption, including the Right to Service and Public Procurement bills. However, what is most important for combating corruption is not the law on paper but the implementation of the law; the binding constraint, as always, is the government’s desire and ability to punish corrupt officials and politicians.

In January 1858, Lord Canning proceeded to Allahabad and formed the North Western Province excluding Delhi division. The seat of power was thus shifted from Agra to Allahabad. This was followed by the transfer of the High Court from Agra to Allahabad in 1868. In 1856, Awadh was placed under the Chief Commissioner. The districts were later merged with the North Western Province and began to be known as ‘North Western Provinces and Oudh’ in 1877. The entire province came to be known as the ‘United Provinces of Agra and Oudh’ in 1902. First election for the Legislative Council was held in 1920 and it was constituted in Lucknow in 1921. Since the governor, ministers and secretaries to governor had to be in Lucknow, the then governor Sir Harcourt Butler changed his headquarters from Allahabad to Lucknow.

  • India 2015 Human Rights Report
    INDIA 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY India is a multiparty, federal, parliamentary democracy with a bicameral parliament. The president, elected by an electoral college, is the head of state, and the prime minister is the head of the government. Under the constitution the 29 states and seven union territories have a high degree of autonomy and have primary responsibility for law and order. Voters elected President Pranab Mukherjee in 2012 to a five-year term, and Narendra Modi became prime minister following the victory of the National Democratic Alliance coalition led by the Bharatiya Janata Party in the May 2014 general elections. Observers considered these elections, which included more than 551 million participants, free and fair, despite isolated instances of violence. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. The most significant human rights problems involved police and security force abuses, including extrajudicial killings, torture, and rape; corruption remained widespread and contributed to ineffective responses to crimes, including those against women, children, and members of scheduled castes or tribes; and societal violence based on gender, religious affiliation, and caste or tribe. Other human rights problems included disappearances, hazardous prison conditions, arbitrary arrest and detention, and lengthy pretrial detention. Court backlogs delayed or denied justice, including through lengthy pretrial detention and denial of due process. There were instances of infringement of privacy rights. The law in some states restricted religious conversion, and there were reports of arrests but no reports of convictions under those laws. Some limits on the freedom of movement continued. Rape, domestic violence, dowry-related deaths, honor killings, sexual harassment, and discrimination against women remained serious societal problems.
