An analysis of law relating to Accident Claims in India

A lot of journalists give teachings on morality. They preach transparency in public life. They hound politicians & public figures on any issue. But what happens when such a thing happens in their life? Why does the MSM remain quite at that moment? Here is an article which was published in a website named  OpIndia . com  which exposes the hypocrisy of Indian Media: A few days ago I stumbled upon some interesting facts about Rajdeep Sardesai. I was routinely reading a law journal that reports judgments of Supreme Court & High Courts. What I read left me in disbelief. It was a judgment of Supreme Court related to Rajdeep Sardesai. The interesting facts emerging out of the said judgment are summarised as under – Rajdeep Sardesai has never publicly revealed the fact that he is an accused before court of law.

FITE’s legal battle at Madras High Court continues   FITE Organization February 25, 2015 Chennai Chapter In January 2015, FITE has filed two writ petitions in the Madras High Court to direct the labour conciliation officer to initiate conciliation proceedings immediately and to provide the interim stay against the termination by TCS till then. On the first writ filed by FITE, TCS management had revoked the termination letter stating that it had come to know through that writ petition that petitioner was pregnant and hence it was revoking the termination order issued to her. The Honourable Madras High Court disposed the writ petition but kept all the other arguments open in that case.This was a tactical move from TCS side as there is another writ petition in the queue with the same grounds. TCS has taken the decision to deal with the second writ petition and at the same time to boost its image in the public arena by revoking the termination letter of a pregnant employee. In fact,

i am dismayed to see this news where the HM exploiting an under privileged girl for his lust - Damn his perversion!   HC dismisses bail plea of school HM 2 21.8.2015 (UNI) Equating a 50-year-old government school Head Master (HM) acting as dushasana (who disrobed Draupadi in Tamil epic Mahabharat), towards girl students and acting as Duriyodhana towards male students, the Madras High refused to grant bail to him following sexual harassment charges.

Terrorism : Terrorism is defined as the systematic use of murder, injury, destruction or the threat of such acts aimed at achieving political ends- has the power to alter course of history. 9/11 attacks in  New York  and the  Washington  bombings in  Madrid  are the prime examples of it Terrorism is the phenomenon, which produces terrorists.  Therefore, combating terrorism has a wider connotation. It includes identification and eradication of the causes which give rise to, and promote the phenomenon of terrorism. That is the lasting remedy or cure of terrorism. Terrorism has no precise definition.  In a Supreme Court ruling Dr.A.S.Anand defined terrorism as an attempt to acquire or maintain power or control by intimidation and causing fear and helplessness in the minds of the people at large or any section thereof. It is a totally abnormal phenomenon. What distinguishes terrorism from other forms of violence therefore appears to be a delicate and systematic use of coercive

Here, in full, is a recent news item in a New Delhi newspaper: ‘When former Chief Justice of India and current Kerala Governor P Sathasivam came to Delhi to attend the wedding reception of BJP chief Amit Shah, he also reached out to various government functionaries to explore the possibility of a Delhi posting — either as Lieutenant Governor or National Human Rights Commission chairperson. While there is lot of speculation that the government could bring in a new face as Delhi LG, the top post in NHRC will fall vacant in May when incumbent Justice K G Balakrishnan demits office. It remains to be seen if the powers-that-be will oblige the Kerala Governor.’ Reporters are not supposed to editorialize; still, it is remarkable how matter-of-fact this news item was. A Governor is a high constitutional post; Governors are supposed to act with scrupulous impartiality, and keep their distance (personal and institutional) from politicians. But here was a Governor attending the wedding recept

 NEW DELHI: Condemned prisoners also have a right to dignity, the Supreme Court has said holding that execution of death sentence cannot be carried out in an arbitrary, hurried and secret manner without allowing death row convicts to exhaust all legal remedies and meet family members. “Right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution does not end with the confirmation of the death sentence. Even in cases of death row convicts, their right to dignity must be protected,” said a bench of justices A K Sikri and U U Lalit while quashing the execution warrants of a young woman and her lover, convicted for killing seven members of her family including a 10-month-old baby in Uttar Pradesh in 2008. The court’s observations assume significance in the context of the hue and cry raised by human rights activists after Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru was hanged in the capital’s Tihar jail in 2013 even before his family members could get the intimation.
