June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

CONSTITUTION OF CRIMINAL
COURTS
A condensed analysis of chapter 2 of Criminal Procedure code by RV
Kelkar.
4. Introduction
The role played by Magistrates and Courts is pivotal. The other
functionaries in a way being accessory to them.
In this chapter we will precisely discuss the constitution, hierarchy of
the criminal courts and their territorial jurisdictions and their powers.
5. Territorial Divisions
For optimum efficacy and administration it is important to have suitable territorial
units to make sure that the machinery of justice is put into effect properly.
The basic territorial divisions of a state are the districts and the sessions division.
Basic territorial divisions of a state are the districts and sessions division.
As per section 7, every state shall be a Sessions Division or shall consist of sessions
divisions.
Every Sessions Division shall, for the purposes of this code, be a district or consist of
districts.
State govt. after consultation with the High court can divide any district into sub-
divisions, districts or sub-divisions of any district
6. Territorial Divisions
The code envisages the special needs of big cities like Mumbai,
Calcutta and Chennai and has recognized such cities as separate
territorial units and designated them as metropolitan areas.
Each metropolitan area is to be considered as a separate Sessions
Division and district.
As per Section 8 of the code the state government can designate a city
or town with a population above 1 million as metropolitan area for the
purposes of the code.
The code as of now designates Mumbai,Kolkata, Madras and
Ahmedabad as a metropolitan area.
7. Classes Of Criminal Courts
Apart from the Supreme court and High courts, the following classes of criminal
courts have been described by Section 6 which are as follows.
1. Courts of Session.
2. Judicical Magistrates of the first class and, in any metropolitan area, Metropolitan
Magistrates.
3. Judicial Magistrates of the second class.
4. Executive Magistrates.
Where the executive magistrate acts executively and not judicially then the executive
magistrate does not function as a court.
Section 6 mentions the courts of executive magistrates separately signifying the
separation of judiciary from the executive.
8. Court of Session
For every Sessions Division the state shall establish a court of session which shall be
presided over by a judge to be appointed by the High Court. [Sec. 9(1),(2)]
The High Court may appoint Additional Sessions Judges and Assistant Sessions
Judges to exercise jurisdiction in a court of sessions.[sec.9(3)]
The Additional Sessions Judge or the Assistant Sessions Judge exercises the powers
of a court of session, subject to limitations prescribed by law, but is not an
independent court of session.
All Assistant Sessions Judge shall be subordinate to the Sessions Judge in whose
court they exercise jurisdiction. [S.10(1)]
A civil Judge and Chief Judicial Magistrate while acting as in-charge Sessions Judge
does not have powers of a Sessions Court appointed under Section 9 for Granting
bail in serious cases.
9. Courts Of Judicial Magistrate
In every district (not being a metropolitan area), there shall be established as many courts of
Judicial magistrates of First class and of the Second class, and at such places, as the state
Government may, after consultation with the High Court, by notification specify.[S.11(1)]
The state government may after consultation with the High court establish one or more special
courts of Chief Judicial Magistrates of the First class or of Second class to try any case or any
class of cases. Such jurisdiction shall be exclusive and no other court of Magistrate in the local
area shall have jurisdiction to try any such or class of cases.
The power to determine the number of such courts rests with the state government.
The power to confer magisterial powers is with the High court and the presiding officers of
such courts shall be appointed by the High Court. [S.11(2)].
High Court may, when it considers expedient or necessary, confer powers of a Judicial
Magistrate of the First class or the Second class on any member of the Judicial service of the
state, functioning as a civil judge. [S.11(3)].
10. Chief Judicial Magistrate
In every district,( not being a metropolitan area), the High Court shall appoint a
Judicial Magistrate of First Class to be the Chief Judicial Magistrate. [S.12(1)].
The Chief Judicial Magistrate is the head of the Magistracy in the district.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-High court may appoint any Judicial Magistrate
of First Class to be Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate and such Magistrate shall
have all or any of the powers of a Chief Judicial Magistrate as the High Court may
direct. [s.12(2)]
The High Court may designate any Judicial Magistrate of First class in any sub-
division as the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate. Such magistrate shall also have
and exercise such powers of supervision and control over the work of the Judicial
Magistrates(other than the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrates) in the sub-division
as the High Court may specify. [S.12(3)]
11. Local Jurisdiction of Judicial Magistrates
Subject to the control of the High Court, the Chief Judicial Magistrate may from time
to time, define the local limits of the areas which the Judicial Magistrates may
exercise all or any of the powers which they might be invested under code.
If the jurisdiction and powers of the Judicial Magistrates are not so defined, they
shall extend throughout the district.
Every Chief Judicial Magistrate shall be subordinate to the Sessions judge.
Subject to the general control of the Sessions Judge, every other Judicial Magistrate
shall be subordinate to the Chief Judicial Magistrate.[S.15(1)]
Subject to the general control of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, every sub-divisional
Judicial Magistrate shall have and exercise such powers of supervision and control
over the work of the Judicial Magistrates (other than the Additional Chief Judicial
Magistrate) in his sub-division as the High Court may specify. [S.12(3)]
12. Courts Of Metropolitan Magistrates
Every Metropolitan area will have almost a parallel setup of Judicial
Magistrates vis-à-vis the district courts which does not require further
elaboration and is self explanatory.
If requested by the central or state government, the High court may confer
upon any person who holds or has held any post under the government, all or
any od the powers conferred or conferrable by or under the code on a Judicial
Magistrate of First class or Second class or on a Metropolitan Magistrate, as
the case may be, in respect to particular cases or to particular class of cases,
in any district or metropolitan area, as the case may be.
The person so to be conferred such powers must satisfy such qualification,
experience in relation to legal affairs as the High court may, by rule, specify.
13. EXECUTIVE MAGISTRATES
Executive Magistrates are appointed for performing magisterial functions allotted to
the executive.
The state government may ,in every district and in every metropolitan area, appoint
as many persons as it thinks fit to be Executive Magistrates and shall appoint one of
them to be District Magistrate. [S.20(1)]
State government may appoint any Executive Magistrate as an Additional Executive
Magistrate who shall have powers of a District Magistrate.
State government may place an Executive Magistrate in charge of a sub-division and
such Magistrate shall be called as the Sub-Divisional Magistrate.
The power of the state government to deploy Executive Magistrates as in charge of
Sub-Division can now be delegated to the District Magistrates. This shall fascilitate
quick deployment of Magistrates at local level.
14. Can Commissioner of Police be conferred Magisterial
Powers of executive nature?
In A.N. Roy v. Suresh Sham Singh, the Apex court held that the state has the
power to appoint the commissioner of Police of Birhan, Mumbai, which is a
metropolitan area as an Executive Magistrate and to further appoint him as
an Additional District Magistrate who shall have the powers of a District
Magistrate.
This Practice of conferring on a Commissioner of Police some magisterial
powers of an executive nature in a metropolitan area is tenable and permitted
under the code vide S.20(5).
Special Executive Magistrate- section 21 provides for the appointed of
Special executive Magistrates. The state government may appoint a be know
as Special Executive Magistrates for such term as it may think fit for
particular areas or for the performance of particular functions and confer on
such Special Executive Magistrates such powers as are conferrable under the
code on Executive Magistrates.
15. Local Jurisdiction of Executive
Magistrates
Subject to the control of the state government, the District Magistrate
may, from time to time, define the local limits of the areas within
which the Executive Magistrates may exercise all or any of the powers
with which they may be invested under the code.
The jurisdiction and powers of of every such Magistrate shall extend
throughout the District expect as otherwise provide by such definition.
16. Subordination of Executive Magistrates
All executive Magistrates, other than the Additional District
Magistrate, shall be subordinate to the District Magistrate.
In case of sub-division, Every executive magistrate exercising powers
in a sub-division shall be subordinate to the sub-divisional Magistrate
except the Sub-Divisional Magistrate.This power however, is subject
to the general control of the District Magistrate.
Executive Magistrates are subordinate to the court of Session.
However, a case from the court of a Sub-Divisional Magistrate cannot
be transferred by the court of Session though it is a criminal court.
Such transfer can be made under Section 411 by the District
Magistrate to whom the Sub-Divisional Magistrate is subordinate.
