transfer of the P.I.L filed by lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay in Delhi High Court to Supreme Court.
on the issue of UNIFORM MARRIAGE AGE of men and women.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.
WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

5. INTRODUCTION
The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. It lays down the
framework defining fundamental political principles, establishes the structure,
procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions, and sets out
fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens. It is the
longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, containing
444 Articles in 22 parts, 12 Schedules and 98 Amendments. The Constitution
was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949, and came
into effect on 26 January 1950.
6. PREAMBLE
• WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a
SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all
its citizens:
• JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
• LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
• EQUALITY of status and of opportunity and to promote among them all;
• FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the
Nation;
• IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty sixth day of November, 1949, do
HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.
8. SALIENT FEATURES OF INDIAN
CONSTITUTION
• The Constitution of India has some outstanding features which distinguishes
it from other constitutions. The framers of our constitution studied other
constitutions, selected their valuable features and put them with necessary
modifications in our constitution. They succeeded doing this. The fact that
the constitution, for last 59 years, has been working satisfactorily is a
testimony to its quality and utility.
• Now we will discuss the salient features of our constitution one by one.
9. A WRITTEN CONSTITUTION
• The Constitution of India is a written Constitution. It was framed by a
Constituent Assembly which was established for the purpose in 1946.
• There are two types of constitutions in the world. Most of them are
written. The first modern written constitution was the American
Constitution. The British Constitution is unwritten, consists of customs and
conventions which have grown over the years.
• The framers of our Constitution tried to put everything in black and white.
10. LONGEST CONSTITUTION
• The Constitution of India is the longest in the world. Originally it had 395
Articles divided into 22 parts and 8 Schedules. A number of Amendments
(98 so far), passed since its enforcement in 1950, have also become a part of
the Constitution. Today it has 444 Articles divided into 22 parts and 12
Schedules.
• The Constitution of USA has 7 Articles, of China 138, Japanese 103, and
Canadian 107 Articles.
11. A RIGID YET FLEXIBLE
CONSTITUTION
• Whether a Constitution is rigid or flexible depends on the nature of
Amendments.
• Some provisions of our Constitution can be Amended by the Parliament
with simple majority. The Amendment of most other provisions of the
Constitution requires a special majority in both houses of the Parliament.
There are some other provisions of Constitution which cannot be Amended
by the Parliament alone. These different Amendment procedures make our
Constitution partly flexible and rigid.
12. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
The Constitution of India guarantees six Fundamental Rights (listed in part III) to
every Citizen.
• Right to Equality.
• Right to Freedom.
• Right against Exploitation.
• Right to Freedom of Religion.
• Cultural and Educational Rights.
• Right to Constitutional Remedies.
13. DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE
POLICY
The Constitution enumerates several Directive Principles of State Policy (listed
in part IV) which are intended to be implemented by the Centre and State
Governments in due course. They are aimed at the promotion of the material
and moral well-being of the people and to transform India into a Welfare State.
Some of the Directive Principles are:
• There should not be concentration of Wealth and means of Production to
the detriment of common man.
14. DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE
POLICY
• There should be equal pay for equal work for both men and women.
• Workers should be paid adequate wage.
• Weaker sections of the people, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe people
should be given special care.
• The State should promote respect for International law and International
peace.
15. FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES
Another salient feature of the Indian Constitution is the incorporation of the
Fundamental Duties of Citizens. The 42nd Amendment of 1976 added Article
51-A to the Constitution requiring all Citizens to fulfill 10 Duties. Failure to
perform these Duties does not carry any penalty, yet the Citizens are expected
to follow them. These are:
• To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the
National Flag and the National Anthem.
16. FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES
• To cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle
for freedom.
• Uphold and protect the Sovereignty, Unity and Integrity of India.
• To promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all
the people of India transcending Religious, linguistic and regional or
sectional diversities; to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of
women
17. FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES
• To value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture.
• To protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes,
rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures.
• To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and
reform.
18. FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES
• To strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity
so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavour and
achievement.
• To safeguard public property and to abjure violence.
• Defend the country and render national service when called upon to do so.
19. SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
The Constitution declares India as a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic,
Republic. The words, 'Socialist' and ‘Secular' were added in the Preamble of the
Constitution by 42nd amendment in 1976.
Sovereign : It means absolutely independent; it is not under the control of
any other state. Before 1947, India was not sovereign as it was under the British
rule. Now it can frame its policy without any outside interference.
20. SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
Socialist : It implies a system which will endeavour to avoid concentration of
wealth in a few hands and will assure its equitable distribution. It also implies
that India is against exploitation in all forms and believes in economic justice to
all its citizens.
Secular : India is a country of several religions and each individual has
Fundamental profess any religion he likes. The State neither force its Citizen to
accept any specific religion nor discriminate on the basis of religion.
21. SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
Democratic : Means, the power of the Government is vested in the hands of
the people. People exercise this power through their elected representatives
who, in turn, are responsible to them. All the Citizens enjoy equal Political
Rights.
Republic : Means, the head of the State is not a hereditary monarch but a
President who is indirectly elected by the people for a definite period.
22. PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY
• In India, there is a Parliamentary form of Government. The majority party
in the Lok Sabha forms Government. The Government is run by the Prime
Minister and other members of the Council of Ministers. The Cabinet
exercises the executive powers and is responsible to the concerned
legislature.
• In Presidential form of Government, the President is the executive head. In
India, the President is only the nominal head.
23. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH
UNITARY BIAS
• India is a federation, although the word 'federation' does not find a place in
the whole text, the elements of federation are present in the Indian
Constitution. There is Constitutional division of powers between the Centre
and the States. There is also an Independent Judiciary. The Supreme Court
arbitrates the disputes between the Centre and the States. All these
provisions make India a federation. But in Indian Federation, the Centre is
strong as compared to the States. The Centre has more financial powers and
the States largely depend upon it for their Economic Development.
24. JUDICIAL REVIEW
• Another significant feature of the Indian Constitution is the provision for
Judicial Review. This means that the Supreme Court of India is empowered
to declare a law passed by the Indian Parliament as null and void if it is
inconsistent with the Fundamental Rights.
• In the case of the Acts passed by the State Legislatures, this power is vested
with the concerned High Courts.
25. UNIVERSAL ADULT FRANCHISE
• Article 326 of the Constitution of India provides Universal Adult suffrage.
The voting age has now come down from 21 to 18. Anybody who has
completed 18 years of age, irrespective of his Caste, Creed, Sex or Religion,
is eligible to vote in general elections.
• This is one of the most revolutionary aspects of Indian Democracy.
26. LANGUAGE POLICY
• India is a Country where different Languages are spoken in various parts.
Hindi and English have been made official languages of the Central
Government. A State can adopt the language spoken by its people in that
state also as its official language.
• Although India is a multi-lingual state, the Constitution provides that Hindi
in Devnagri script will be the National Language. It shall be the Duty of the
union to promote and spread Hindi Language.
