POLITY 1.1 Conflicts between Delhi Government and LG What is the issue? SC is looking into the problem of jurisdictional conflicts between Delhi‘s elected government and the lieutenant governor (LG). What is Article 239AA? Delhi, although a union territory, is not administered by the president acting through the LG under Article 239. It is administered under Article 239 AA. Article 239 AA was incorporated in the Constitution in 1992. It creates a ―special‖ constitutional set up for Delhi. It has provisions for popularly elected assembly, a council of ministers responsible to the assembly and a certain demarcation of responsibilities between the LG and the council of ministers. As per Article 239 AA (3) (a), the Delhi assembly can legislate on all those matters listed in the State List and Concurrent List as are applicable to union territories. The public order, police and land are reserved for the LG. What is the problem? This special set up worked well mainly because the same party held office at the Centre as well as in Delhi for much of the time. Things changed when different government ruled the city and the centre. This was complicated when the Delhi High Court judgment declared that the LG is the only decision-making authority in the NCT. Presently, SC is looking into two main issues: 1. Whether the elected government is the final authority in respect of matters assigned to it by the constitution & 2. Whether the LG has primacy when a difference of opinion arises between him and his council of ministers on matters of governance. Why should Council of Ministers be given more power? Final Authority - Under Article 239 AA (4), the council of ministers has the executive power to execute all matters in respect of which the assembly has the power to make laws. Article 239 AB (a) says ―if the administration of the NCT cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of Article 239 AA,‖ the president can dismiss the council of ministers. Further, Article 239 AA (b) says that the council of ministers shall be collectively responsible to the assembly. So, the council of ministers is responsible for Delhi‘s administration and if it fails in its functions, it will be removed by the president. But the council of ministers cannot be removed for the breakdown of the constitutional machinery unless they are vested with the power to take final decisions on matters of administration. It is also absurd to think that the council of ministers will be removed for the failure of the LG. So vesting of all powers in the LG in respect of matters which come within the jurisdiction of the assembly is not in conformity with the scheme of Article 239 AA. Primacy - A LG, motivated by political considerations, could disagree with many decisions of elected government and refer them to the president. So such a provision in the proviso to Clause (4) of Article 239 AA virtually nullifies the executive power vested in the council of ministers. After all, the purpose of the constitutional amendment was to provide a democratic government for Delhi and not to enhance the powers of the LG. http://www.shankariasacademy.com | www.iasparliament.com 5 So in regard to matters of governance other than that in the discretionary list, the council of ministers should be left free to exercise the executive power. 1.2 Courts Gagging the Media Why in news? A special CBI Court recently issued a gag order prohibiting the press from reporting on the court proceedings of a fake encounter case. In another case, Allahabad High Court gagged the media from reporting on an ongoing case concerning hate speech by the CM of Uttar Pradesh. What is the justification? The orders were enabled by the Supreme Court itself. In 2012, the Supreme Court held that in certain circumstances, courts could pass ―postponement orders‖ barring coverage of specific judicial proceedings. The court framed the issue as requiring a balancing of two competing rights: the right to free speech, and the right to a fair trial. Observing that sometimes excessive publicity could jeopardise a fair trial, the court held that to the extent it was reasonable and proportionate, ―prior restraints‖ on court reporting could be imposed. Allahabad High Court cited that the media reports court proceedings inaccurately to justify the gag order. Is the justification fair? In a Jury system, guilt or innocence is decided by a jury of twelve who do not possess specialised legal training The idea that ―media trials‖ might distort the outcomes of cases makes sense only in such a system. In India we abolished jury trials more than 40 years ago, and it is judges now who decide cases. Judges, by definition, are not only supposed to apply the law but also have to have the relevant training and temperament to be regardless of the public. The 2012 SC order also failed to adequately limit the kinds of cases in which these exceptional ―postponement orders‖ could be passed. It also failed to limit the duration for which they could be passed. This has given ample space for abuse as happened in the recent orders. What should be done? Media misreporting of court proceeding can be rectified by making the written transcripts and recordings of court proceedings available to the public. In some situations, a temporary halt on reporting could be justifiable. But the bar should be limited to a single hearing, and only in the most exceptional of situations. 1.3 Disqualification of Rajya Sabha Members Why in news? Two members of the Rajya Sabha belonging to JD(U) party were recently disqualified.

    Prelim Bits 04-12-2017 Gwalior Light Railway \n\n \n The Gwalior Light Railway runs between Gwalior and Sheopur Kalan in Madhya Pradesh, covering 198 km in 12 hours. \n It is the oldest long-haul service to run on 2-ft narrow-gauge tracks in the world. \n It is laid during the rule of the Scindias (1895 – 1909). \n Scindia is a Hindu Maratha dynasty that ruled the Gwalior State. \n Scindia’s originally served as cavalrymen under the Bahmani Sultanate. \n Later they become a part of the Maratha Confederacy in the 18th and 19th centuries and a princely state of the colonial British government during the 19th and the 20th centuries. \n \n\n Ethereum \n\n \n Ethereum is similar to Bitcoin in the sense that they are both open-source platforms based on blockchain technology. \n These decentralised payment network with its own cryptographic currency, allows anonymous payments without the need for a bank or other third party. \n Ether is the digital currency of the ethereum blockchain and it is the second- largest cryptocurrency after bitcoin. \n But while Bitcoin is limited to using blockchain technology for Bitcoin payments, Ethereum can also be used to build decentralised computational platforms. \n Ethereum technology allows for third party applications, not just the currency, to run on the network. \n It allows a number of apps to be built and it is also being used by start-ups to raise money with initial coin offering. \n \n\n Kamov 226T \n\n \n India and Russia had signed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) earlier this year to buy Kamov 226T helicopters.

    lR;eso t;rs Government of India Ministry of MSME INDUSTRIAL PROFILE OF MADHY PRADESH 2016- 17 Carried out by MSME - Development Institute, Indore (Ministry of MSME, Govt. of India,) Phone 0731-2421037, 1659 Fax: 0731-2420723 e-mail: [email protected] Web- msmeindore.nic.in Page 1 Forward Madhya Pradesh the "heart of India" due to its geographical location in India, Madhya Pradesh is the second largest state in the country by area. With over 75 million inhabitants, it is the sixth largest state in India by population. The area covered by the present-day Madhya Pradesh includes the area of the ancient Avanti mahajanapada, whose capital Ujjain (also known as Avanti) arose as a major city during the second wave of Indian urbanization in the sixth century BCE. Subsequently, the region was ruled by the major dynasties of India, including the Mauryans, the Mughals and the Marathas. By the early 18th century, the region was divided into several small kingdoms which were captured by the British and incorporated in to Central Provinces and Berar and the Central India Agency. After India's independence, Madhya Pradesh state was created with Nagpur as its capital: this state included the southern parts of the present-day Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. In 1956, this state was reorganized and its parts were combined with the states of Madhya Bharat,Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal to form the new Madhya Pradesh state with Bhopal as its capital. This state was the largest state of India by area until 2000. In 2000, the Chhattisgarh region was split to create a new state, and Rajasthan became the largest state of India.Madhya Pradesh is home to a large tribal population, which has been largely cut-off from the mainstream development.
