Abstract
The denial of bail for an indefinite period impinges on fundament rights. The prisoner must not be punished before conviction. Granting of bail always rings for the conflicting interest between liberty of an individual and interest of the society. The Principle underlying release on bail is that an accused person is presumed in law to be innocent until his guild is proved beyond reasonable doubt and as a presumably innocent person; he is entitled to freedom and every opportunity to look after his case, provided his attendance is secured by proper security.
The other object of the release of a person on bail is to secure the presence of the person charged with crime at his trial or at any other time when his presence may lawfully be required and to force him to submit to the jurisdiction and punishment imposed by the Court.
The normal rule is bail and not jail. Again at various occasions, Hon’ble Supreme Court and several High Courts reiterated that ‘the grant of bail is a rule and refusal to bail is an exception.
The significance and sweep of Article 21 make the deprivation of liberty a matter of concern and permissible only when the law authorizing it is reasonable, even-handed and geared to the goals of community good and State necessity spelt out in Article 19.
Grant of bail by the Court is a discretionary order. However, this discretion shall be exercised in judicial manner and not as a matter of course. The order denying the bail shall provide cogent reasons of rejection. The nature of the offence is one of the basic considerations for the grant of bail - more heinous is a crime, the greater is the chance of rejection of the bail, though, however, dependent on the factual matrix of the matter.
An individual can seek bail if he has any fear or anticipation of being arrested in a non-bailable offence. An anticipatory bail is meant to safeguard a person accused of false charges, in the evnet of he/ she being sought to be arrested by the police in the name of custodial interrogation.

There are two truths in applying for a security clearance. First, a security clearance is a privilege and not a right. Second, questions about granting or revoking a clearance will always be resolved in favor of national security. Knowing whether your background raises any questions about granting or revoking a clearance can make or break your career in the Federal government.

There are many circumstances that may have led to you being arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Texas. Though you cannot change the past, you can prepare for the future by knowing how to defend yourself against the charges.
Texas law states that you can be arrested for a DWI if you’re operating a vehicle on roadways, and fall under one of two definitions of “intoxicated”:
1) You don’t have normal usage of your mental and physical capabilities due to the consumption of alcohol or drugs; OR,
2) Your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08 percent or higher. The BAC is lower for certain classes of drivers, including minors and commercial drivers.
No matter which factor contributed to your arrest, you do have certain rights to contest the charges and defend your interests. However, you should become familiar with these types of cases and gain a general understanding of how they proceed. In this eBook, you’ll learn:
- The basics of a DWI case and distinction between the two types of cases pending against you;
- The potential consequences of a DWI criminal conviction and an administrative hearing regarding your driving privileges;
- Mistakes commonly made by those charged with DWI in Texas; and,
- How to go about hiring the right attorney with the experience and background necessary to protect your rights.

Know The Law: What Should You Do If Your Car Is Stopped By The Police?Jason Nathu
After a week of tragic events in the United States, including allegations of police brutality, racially motivated killings and the slaying of five police officers, we thought that we’d ask the question: “What should you do if your car is stopped by the police in Trinidad and Tobago?”
It goes without saying that you should generally be polite and compliant, but there are a few things to keep in mind. These issues are addressed in our third #KnowTheLaw information guide.
The Hugh Wooding Law School Human Rights Law Clinic aims to assist the average citizen to understand how the law works and how it can protect you.

While high-profile legislative accomplishments received a majority of media attention this year, the less visible but important day-to-day operations of the Illinois Senate are sometimes missed. Senators spend time meeting with school students, advocacy groups and constituents every day hearing their concerns and talking about possible solutions. Senate committees take testimony from experts on legislation for consideration. Advocacy days for schools, parks and many other issues bring thousands of visitors to the Capitol throughout the year.
View the Senate beyond the high profile media coverage and take a look at how your state senators worked in Springfield and in your district in 2017.
Every year the General Assembly looks for opportunities to help our military veterans, and this year was no exception. Take a look at some new laws taking effect January 1 that improve benefits and services for Illinois veterans.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. No. While having a valid FOID card is a
requirement for obtaining a concealed-carry
license, you are not automatically entitled to
carry a firearm in public. You must apply for and
obtain a license from the Illinois State Police.
Q1
I have a FOID card; can I carry
a concealed weapon?
3. You must first apply for and receive an approved
concealed-carry license. Concealed-carry

automatically mean that you can carry a
concealed firearm.
Q2
When can I start carrying my gun?
4. No. However, people who hold permits in states
with laws substantially similar to Illinois’ will be
able to apply for non-resident concealed-carry
licenses. The State Police will determine which
states’ permit holders are eligible.
Q3
If I have a concealed-carry permit from
another state, is it valid in Illinois?
6. You must submit an application with the
relevant documentation and $150 fee to the
Department of State Police.
Applications will be available starting
Friday, January 3, 2014.
Q5
How do I apply for a license to carry?
7. • Your name, current address, date of birth, place of birth, height, weight, hair
color, eye color, maiden name (or any other name used) and any address
where you lived more than 30 days in the past 10 years
• Your valid driver’s license number or valid state identification card number
• A signed confidentiality waiver giving the State Police access to your criminal and
mental health records
• A declaration you possess a valid FOID Card

• A copy of evidence you completed training required by law of all concealed-carry
licensees
Q5 To apply you must provide:
8. $150 for Illinois residents and $300 for non-
residents. Licensees must pay the same fee
again when renewing their licenses every five
years.
Q6
How much does a
concealed-carry license cost?
9. No more than 120 days. The State Police have
90 days after receiving an application to
approve or deny it unless another law
enforcement agency submits an objection.
In that case, your application will be referred to
the Concealed Carry Licensing Review
Board, which has an additional 30 days to
consider the application.

license after applying?
10. • Schools

and am carrying a gun?

discharged member of the U.S. Armed
Forces counts as eight hours of training
toward the 16-hour requirement.
Q12

official. Am I exempt from any concealed-
carry requirements?

I own a small business. Must I allow people
to carry weapons in my store?
21. If you choose to prohibit weapons in your
restaurant, you will need to post a sign on the
entrance indicating that weapons are prohibited.
The State Police will develop uniform signs for
businesses to use.
Q17
If I do not want people to carry guns in my
restaurant, what do I need to do?

to bring a gun into your home without your
permission, and
you do not have to post a sign in order to
prohibit guns on your residential property.
Q18
I do not want anyone bringing a gun in my
house or on my residential property.
How do I stop them?
