‘Good Governance’ and ‘Sustainable Development ‘can only be assured by rule of law opines H.E. Mr. Shekhar Dutt, Governor of Chattisgarh at ALS

Amity Law School organized a Lecture on “Law and Good Governance” by H.E. Mr. Shekhar Dutt, Governor of Chattisgarh at the Amity University Campus, Sector – 125, Noida.

While addressing the august gathering, Maj. Gen. K. Jai Singh, VC, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, said, “the young students of today are the future of law and administration of the country. The loopholes are that administration of justice is lagging and equality of law is yet to be practiced. Law is an end of justice. So it should not be so technical that justice is sacrificed. There is misuse of law on the other hand by those who hold the authority of law which need to be regulated. 

In his welcoming address Maj. Gen Nilendra Kumar, Director, Amity Law School spoke on the importance of Law and Good Governance and it’s relevance for perfect administration in the country. The role of good governance is increasing with the development and expansion of the country. Extremism and violence are constant threat to the Indian polity. Therefore good governance is of prime importance. 

Delivering the special lecture on ‘Law and Good Governance’ H.E. Mr. Shekhar Dutt, Governor of Chattisgarh and former Deputy National Security Administrator, shared valuable information as to how to make the country socially, politically and economically developed in the world. He said, “I consider Law – as something which sustains and holds the people together and binds them into one country. No country can carry on and develop without having a rule of law. Being Indians, we know that ours is a country of diversity. Each and every state has its own culture, language, customs, festivals and more than one religion. It is our constitution and law that assures them of equality, justice and binds them into unity. Looking at law as a controlling mechanism devised to maintain order among the people only is a myopic view. Maintenance of law and order is only one of the objectives of law. We have seen in India that that social reform like abolition of Sati pratha, equal rights to women, prevention of child marriages and such social reforms have been made possible by enacting relevant laws. Similarly, welfare measures like protection of rights of persons with disabilities, helpless senior citizens, poverty, protection of rights of labour and similar social problems were also addressed by enacting laws. Democracy is a vehicle of change and development as well as foundation of governance.” 

Mr. Dutt said, “we cannot ensure development, welfare and reforms to happen only by enacting laws. Honest and sincere implementation of law of the land is most important. ‘Good Governance’ and ‘Sustainable Development ‘can only be assured by rule of law. Our country has a federal structure but it is unitary in spirit. Many development or welfare related issues like education, welfare of labour are in the concurrent list. However, when it comes to the issue of development and welfare like rural development and health, Union Government comes to the aid of the state and helps by formulating schemes and provides funds for the same even when such subjects in the state list. This is possible only because of the unitary spirit of our Constitution.” 

H.E. Mr. Shekhar Dutt, Governor of Chattisgarh concluded his lecture by saying that Good Governance requires accessibility, accountability, predictability and transparency. And to ensure all this ‘independent Judiciary’ is essential. The legal system has to be accessible also. Right to Information Act has brought revolutionary changes in the administration and also in the awareness level of the people. So many cases of misuse of power and financial irregularities have been brought to light by the whistleblowers using ‘Right to Information’. 

Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan, Founder President, Amity Group highly appreciated the lecture of H.E. Mr. Shekhar Dutt on ‘Law and Good Governance’. He said, “Good Governance can lead India to be a Super Power. By 2020 our population will comprise of 30 to 35 percent of young people which will to help to change the world. This can happen only with Good Governance. Mr. Dutt has given us an action plan to take India into new heights of success and to fulfill the mission India to lead the world. Moral values and ethics also play a vital role in the progress of a country, affirmed Dr. Chauhan. 

The lecture was attended by Dr. B. Shukla, Pro-VC (A), Amity University Uttar Pradesh, several Directors, Head of Institutes and hundreds of students of Amity Law School.

Amity Law School organizes Lecture on “Role of Security on the Borders of the Country” by Former Air Chief Marshal S.P Tyagi

Amity Law School organized a Lecture on “Role of Security on the Borders of the Country” by Former Air Chief Marshal Mr. S.P Tyagi at the Amity University Campus, Sector – 125, Noida. While addressing the august gathering Maj. Gen Nilendra Kumar, Director, Amity Law School spoke on the expansion of India’s boundaries and the role of Border Security Forces which help in the country’s unity, security and safety of a country. Member National Security Advisory Board and Former Air Chief Marshal Mr. S.P Tyagi, with his vast experiences in the forces was actively involved in several wars that were fought by India including the Kargil war in his career. While presenting his lecture on ‘Role of Security on the Borders of the Country’ Former Air Chief Marshal Mr. S.P Tyagi shared some valuable information on facts and strategies to make a mission successful in the army. He said, “National Security is not the monopoly of the armed forces. Every citizen is responsible for it. But lawyers have a great role to play. Security does not only mean external security. There is food, health, law and order which are internal securities that need to be taken care off. Security has a big dimension which has its impact on each one of us. Therefore, we all have a big role to play. Every Government and political party has to have one National Aim. But every time we miss the National aim of poverty removal, our economy becomes unprogressive.” He said that there is a fixation that armed forces are for protection of geographical boundaries whereas the territorial integrity is not only to guard the borders but also to prevent war and to bring peace and stability to the country. Guarding the border is just one aspect of the security force. Our country is not confined to geographical borders but a broad strategic border is there to look after. Nowadays the challenges of a country are becoming global, commented Mr. Tyagi. Former Air Chief Marshal Mr. S. P Tyagi concluded his lecture by saying that there is a need to learn military diplomacy as we tackle with the countries of the World. The nation will have to engage younger people with lucrative assignment to cope up with new environment. Global engagement of armed forces in crisis like Tsunami, earthquake and Katrina become a necessity, remarked Mr. Tyagi  The lecture was attended by several Directors, Head of Institutes and hundreds of students of Amity Law School.

Mock Trials Script for Auditions on 15/02/2011

NOTICE

The Mock trials will be held on a problem which incidentally bears close resemblance with the Aarushi Murder Case. Auditions for the Mock Trials shall be held on 15^th Feb 2011 2pm onwards. Taking in consideration the paucity of time for preparation, only one script is being released for tomorrows audition. All participants are required to prepare the same. The script is as follows:-

CBI Advocate: Harshit Sharma is not a complainant now and he has been suspected and arrested by the police in the case, and as a suspect, the accused has no locus standi to get a copy of the closure report.

Judge: Harshit Sharma is the first informant in the case, so it is justifiable to provide him a copy of closure report. The CBI is directed to provide him a copy of closure report.

CBI Advocate: The probe of the investigating officer proves that no outsider was involved in the deaths and thecircumstantial evidence points out that whatever has been done, parents only have done it. Your Honour, there is nothing left in the case and there is no scope for further inquiry. The circumstantial evidence in investigating officer’s probe puts suspicion on the parent’s role.

Judge: There was no evidence in the case diary which suggested that some person forcibly tried to enter the house. Neither was any evidence found to implicate the servants.

CBI Advocate: As regards re-examination of forensic evidence three labs have said that it is not possible as samples are highly contaminated while one UK-based lab with which the Sharma’s were in touch said they could do it but it has been found through Interpol that it no such lab is registered there.

Judge: The guiding principle is that there should be enough basis to take further action rather than enough ground to prove charges and chain of evidence indicates that there is enough ground to take prima facie cognizance of murder and destruction of evidence against Harshit sharma and his wife.

Dr. Anil Singh, Executive Editor, Star News delivers lecture on “Role of media and its relation with Law” at ALS

A lecture on “Role of media and its relation with Law” by Dr. Anil Singh, Executive Editor, Star News was organized by Amity Law School (ALS) for its students at Amity University Campus, Sector – 125, Noida.

Presenting his welcome address Maj. Gen Nilendra Kumar, Director, ALS, Amity University Uttar Pradesh (AUUP) informed the audience about Dr. Anil Singh deep insight and background of International Relations (IR) who has written two very successful and informative research books on IR.

Delivering his lecture Dr. Singh said “Media is a mirror to the society that reflects the real picture of the socio – political condition of a nation. In India Media invariably has a constructive role in nation building right from pre independence era till date. With the advent of electronic media television assumed greater responsibilities to generate awareness in people with respect to politics, economy, legislation, parliament, judiciary, society and culture”. He added “Media is the fourth pillar of democracy that transports the voice of the common people to the power circle. In the recent times, Media has proven to be an active operator in the legal cases like ‘Arushi Talwar murder case’, ‘Jessica Lall murder case’ etc. Sharing his views on the career scopes born out of the kinship between media and law, Mr. Singh informed the Law students of Amity that both electronic and print media require legal correspondents to run the legal programmes and legal columns respectively and suggested it to be a good opportunity for those students with a Law background who may not wish to join the judicial system as a career option.

The lecture was followed by an vivid interactive session between Mr. Singh, the students, and faculty members of ALS wherein topics like media activism, TRP, Breaking News etc were discussed.

Another scenario is there are even children’s who have there parents but still there parents don’t earn enough to feed there children’s. Endless pain and misery lies in this so called era of development and technology.

The thing which we need is a helping hand from our society to help these children’s. Many Ngo's are coming up to help these children’s. One such Ngo is ASHRAYA BHAVAN located in Faridabad. We had the opportunity to visit this Ngo on Feb 2nd 2011.A Ngo run by Mr.Chandy Verghese. It consists of 60 children’s. An effort was taken by us so that we can add a bit of spice in there gloomy life. Drawing competition was organized by us. We find out some good painters there. 1st,2nd ,3rd prize was also given to them. Then after that we played some games with the childrens.There were some brilliant chess players even.The childrens played like as if it was there last day of playing.They were very happy to get some company for themselves. To add to there happiness we gave pencils,erasers,pens and stickers to them.The children were really happy to receive those gifts.The were very much excited even to receive those things from us. Lastly before leaving snacks were served by us to the children.This was a day when we all felt that we all could do a little bit for the mankind and our society.
