Atul and Sandeep Pandey | It is unfortunate that even after India became independent, this draconian law has not only survived in the statutes books but also thrived through frequent misuse. It is high time the government must review it through amendment or repeal it altogether.
Pannalal Surana | For the last six days, very slipshod information is being given out by various members of the government about the incidents of 15th June, near Galwan river in Ladakh. The government should for once tell the nation clearly what exactly happened between the Indian and Chinese patrolling parties.
Gary Frase and Sandeep Pandey | The Covid-19 pandemic has shut down the world, but it has also opened up new channels for festering truths to break free. In the United States, the murder by a policeman of George Floyd in Minneapolis has ignited pent-up anger against widespread racism and hatred of America’s police. In India, last year, a new “citizenship” law unleashed a rash of citizens’ protests, against the law in particular and the Bhartiya Janata Party-led government’s five years in power in general.
Dr Sandeep Pandey, Surabhi Agarwal, Shobha Shukla, Bobby Ramakant | All the people who have had to pay earlier for their return to their homes either on government or private transportation should be given refunds. Likewise, all those who had to pay for COVID-19 testing in private laboratories should be given refunds.
Abhay Jain and Sandeep Pandey | It is time to revisit a largely abandoned theory of boundary dispute resolution: The Condominium. A condominium in international law exists when two or more states exercise joint sovereignty over a territory. More specifically, a condominium exists when “two or more states together exercise joint sovereignty on the same territory, and such sovereignties mutually limit their activities, at least in principle, on the grounds of legal equality.”
Vidushi Prajapati, Ekta Tomar and Sandeep Pandey | The case of wrongful removal of Safai Karamcharis is a perfect example of the dual character of bourgeoisie spaces such as the law university where under the garb of being the upholder of egalitarian principles, it has time and again committed labour laws and human rights violations.
विदुषी, एकता तोमर, संदीप पांडेय | शैक्षिक समुदाय का क्या दायित्व बनता है, विशेष रूप से एक विधि विश्वविद्यालय में, जब विश्वविद्यालय की स्थापना के वर्ष, 2008 से कार्यरत सफाई कर्मचारियों को ठेका परिवर्तन के चलते निष्ठुरता से हटा दिया जाता है। विश्वविद्यालय अपने इस अमानवीय कार्य को सही ठहराने के लिए यह तर्क देता है कि चूँकि ये श्रमिक किसी ठेकेदार के आधीन काम कर रहे थे, इसलिए विश्वविद्यालय इनके प्रति जवाबदेह नहीं है। वह मजदूरों द्वारा लगायी गयी खून-पसीने की मेहनत को एक क्षण में भूल जाता है, मानों उनसे एकदम अनजान हो।
सुरभि अग्रवाल, शोभा शुक्ल, बाॅबी रमाकांत व संदीप पाण्डेय | जो लोग दैनिक मजदूरी कर के अपना जीवन यापन करते हैं, सरकार उनकी वास्तविकता से कितनी अनभिज्ञ है इस बात का अंदाजा इसी से लगाया जा सकता है कि सरकार द्वारा घोषित तालाबंदी ने समाज के इस बड़े वर्ग के दृष्टिकोण को मद्देनजर लिया ही नहीं। इनमें से करोड़ों की तादाद में लोग अपने घरों से दूर रहते हैं और दैनिक आय पर ही निर्भर थे।
Atul and Sandeep Pandey | In this article we will analyse the justifiability of the lockdown in Kashmir using the test of reasonableness and proportionality often used by the Supreme Court in determining the constitutionality of restrictions imposed on fundamental rights.
Pannalal Surana | Serious efforts will have to be made to restart the schools at least by the last week of June. There are problems and difficulties. In urban areas, classrooms are generally overcrowded. If the time-table of last year is to be followed, social distancing will come to a nought. Some persons have suggested that schools be held in three shifts after trifurcation the class strength.
