Image
FOR no other known reason but to avoid being seen as violating the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), India sent a 10-member delegation to Pakistan from March 20 to 21, for the 113th meeting of the Permanent Indus Waters Commission. India had practically declined these mandatory annual meetings since May 2015. It is a positive development, even if the result was predictably inconclusive.

Image
First information is construed as the earliest communication or intimation of crime to the state agency, to set it in motion to under take investigation. Such information irrespective of its brevity or length has to convey the relevant information pertaining to the nature and place of occurrence including description of victim of violence.

15 points for the improvement of the criminal justice system by MOHAMMAD ALI BABAKHEL

Image
WHILE disposing of a civil petition recently, the Supreme Court opted for a diagnostic approach and incorporated 15 points for the improvement of the criminal justice system. One, taking cognisance of the inconvenience often confronted by complainants regarding non-registration of FIRs, the court explicitly pronounced that under Section 154 of the CrPC, the police have no discretion to decline registration. Two, to discourage false complaints where applicable, cases under Sections 182 and 211 are to be registered. Three, many individuals are nominated as the accused in the FIR registered for a single case, particularly in the rural areas. Such tactics are employed to book as many male members from the accused side as possible. To discourage such practices the court observed that “no person should be arrested unless there is sufficient evidence available with the police to support such arrest”.
