Freedom guaranteed but who will implement?

 

The Supreme Court’s recent judgment for scrapping of Section 66 A of the Information Technology Act for being “unconstitutional in entirety” is indeed a joyous moment for the democracy and set ethos for right or freedom to express and opine. Banglar Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha welcomes this historic verdict from the apex court. The said section of the Act in fact, invades citizenry’s right of free speech “arbitrarily, excessively and disproportionately”, since apex court rightly pointed.

However, for the human rights and civil liberty organizations of this country have suspicion and qualms about the real implementation of the judgment; as the country has many judicial protections for marginalized, victims of state apathies and atrocities by the active arms of the state machinery; grossly not implemented and followed; though according to the Article 141 of Indian Constitution; the verdicts of apex court is rule of the land. The police of this country abundantly violate the guidelines and directives given by the apex court over the issues of arrest, detention, physical torture, maltreatments and so on and enjoying fullest impunity; (D K Basu – on arrest, Premshankar Shukla – on handcuffing, Sheela Barse – prisoners’ rights, PUCL Rajasthan – right to food; the list is unending) not even the judicial institutions questioning blatant and unbridled flouting of legalities by the police / administration and other components of criminal justice administration.

It is in this context that the current scrapping of Section 66 A is welcome, in principle, but will not change much on the ground. It would be cosmetic at best; the real change will take place when the democratic institutions can confirm the citizenry that the legalities will be followed and obeyed by the criminal justice administration in letter and spirit.

Re: [IAC#RG] Mafia Tatkal Reservation

How can a tatkal ticket issue counter starts issuing ticket at 9.45 a.m when server allows u to book ticket only after 10 .am

I dont think its possible

Railways should change the Rules to the effect  that for the first 30 Minutes , Tatkal Reservation could be made only from the City/Town/village etc from where it is proposed to travel or to which place it is proposed to travel.Genuine railway users  who are put to the necessity of making an urgent trip will really be the beneficiaries .For this purpose,'Tatkal local timing' can be 9.30 am to 10.00 am. Thereafter Tatkal tickets can be sold from any counter ,from any place and even by travel agents and by users through e-mail.There is no meaning in saying ''down with corruption''. We should suggest ways and means to avoid the same or at least to minimise the same and to facilitate intended benefeciaries to achieve the goal .

Re: [IAC#RG] Railway reservations

Some restrictions have been imposed today by Railways relating to Online Reservations. One at a time only.

The discussion about Tatkal ticket reservation is appreciable one. My question is why Tatkal? Why cant the government impose certain restrictions on agents in booking railway tickets? It's very simple. ID card numbers - voter ID, pan card , adhaar and passport as ID - should be made compulsory in booking tickets to eliminate middlemen.

Next issue is, food served in the railway compartments are horrible. The tea and coffee are a shame. Why cant the government impose quality assurance that is imposed on other restaurants and food outlets?

Q- What is the diff between black marketing of railway tickets & Tatkal?

A - They are both the same. One is by touts (illegal) whilst the other is by the Govt (legal)!!

It is very strange and shameless that the Aam Aadmi Party is not

personally promised the voters earlier the year.

Kindly note that I shall be appearing personally before yourself,
