https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/myview/waqf-act1995-a-tool-given-to-waqf-boards-to-snatch-the-property-of-hindus/

🌐📜 This Act is in News—

The Above Article is Based on Common Topic on Powers of Waqf. (Thought provoking)

This Article is on Recent Changes bought by Parliament

https://forumias.com/blog/the-waqf-amendment-bill-2024-key-changes-reasons-and-concerns-explained-pointwise/

Parliament is very late in bringing such an amendment, India being a country focusing more on social justice, secularism then how can there be such a law without any check and increasing its Powers by further amendments from so many years that too after the passing of places of worship act.

🌟 MUST READ ARTICLE

👨‍⚖️ 1. Mistake by B.R. Ambedkar

Discussing the drafting of consultation (collegium one) provision in the constitution, Noorani criticised even B.R. Ambedkar for blithely telling the constituent assembly on May 24, 1949, that ‘judiciary decides cases in which the government has, if at all, the remotest interest; in fact, no interest at all. The judiciary is engaged in deciding the issues between citizens and very rarely between citizens and the government.’ Subsequent decades proved Ambedkar wrong, and it is a common knowledge today that in 80% cases, government is one of the party.


📝 2. Whip Cannot be issued by Parliament when acting as Jury

Noorani was also a critic of impeachment process. He had criticised adoption of this process that had fallen into disuse even in England with last impeachment taking place in 1806. He criticised P. V. Narasimha Rao’s decision to issue a whip to abstain from voting on the impeachment motion of Justice V. Ramaswami as unconstitutional, since no whip can be issued when Parliament is sitting as jury during impeachment motion to pronounce verdict of guilty or not guilty.

🧠 3. Can a judge be guilty of Contempt of court in his professional capacity?

✅ 4. Noorani’s well-researched book Political Trials (1775-1947)

✅ 5. Criminal Defamation to Press

Noorani was an ardent advocate of freedom of press and was opposed to invocation of criminal defamation against the journalists. He even criticised Nehru government for proposing Ministers and Bureaucrats a summary remedy for criminal libel in respect of their public conduct. Even the British had not enacted such a regressive law. Noorani did appreciate Justice Jeevan Reddy’s observations in Nakkheeran (1994) that a journalist need not prove what he has written is true but that he acted after reasonable verification of facts.

✅ 6. Article 370
Kashmiris need not cry on Article 370’s abrogation as in its operational mode, Article 370 was indeed more of Centre’s power rather than State’s autonomy. (40+ Constitutional orders over the period of all the governments)

💼 Advocate- I beg to appear for XYZ

👨‍⚖️ Court- Why do you people use the word “begging”? This colonial expression has gone now and we are independent. You have a constitutional and statutory right to represent. You can say that I am appearing for the appellant. You have a right. Nobody can deny you. Why do you use the word beg?

🌟 How Violation of Fundamental Rights of a foreign Nation people can be remedied?

International convention not inconsistent with the fundamental rights and in harmony with its spirit must be adhered to, to enlarge the meaning and content thereof, to promote the object of the constitutional guarantee. This is implicit from Article 51(c) and the enabling power of Parliament to enact laws for implementing the international conventions and norms by virtue of Article 253 read with List 1 - Entry 14

The actions of the State in granting licenses to companies for military exports to Israel, in violation of India's binding obligations under International law, is arbitrary, unreasonable and unfair, being violative of Article 14 and must be struck down."

NOTE: This is Just a Petition and not a ruling

What is the legality of this petition?
