Article 13 of the Indian Constitution deals with the supremacy of the Constitution and voidness of laws inconsistent with fundamental rights. It establishes that pre-constitutional laws that are inconsistent with fundamental rights will be void. It also prohibits the state from making any laws that take away or abridge fundamental rights. The article establishes various doctrines related to severability of valid and invalid parts of laws, eclipse of inconsistent laws, and waiver of fundamental rights. It was debated whether constitutional amendments fall under the definition of "law" in Article 13(2) but the supreme court ultimately held that amendments are not laws under this article.
The constitution of India is considered to be the ‘General Will’ of the people of India. It is a document of immense importance.
It is not only is the basic law of the land but the living organic by which the other laws are to be created as per the requirement of the nation.
The life of a nation is dynamic, living, and organic its political, social and economic conditions are always subject to change.
Therefore, a constitution drafted in one era and in a particular circumstance may be found to be inadequate in another era in a different context.
It becomes necessary therefore to have machinery or some process by which the constitution may be adopted from time to time as per the contemporary needs of the nation. Such changes may be brought by different ways including formal method of amendment contained in Article 368 of the constitution. Article 368 of the constitution does not prescribe any express limitation upon the parliament’s amending power.
The slides relate to Part - III of the Indian Constitution i.e. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. It elaborates on the violation of fundamental rights under the constitution. Useful for Law students and Professionals.

This presentation is an attempt to explain the colourable legislation in a simple language with the limitations on it and supported by the landmark cases delivered by the apex court.
The first of clause (1) provides that “no person shall be convicted of any offence except for violation of ‘law in force’ at the time of the commission of the act charged as an offence”. This means that if an act is not an offence at the date of its commission it cannot be an offence at the date subsequent to its commission.
The act of putting a person through a second trial of an offence for which he or she has already been prosecuted or convicted
The expression ‘self-incrimination’ means “conveying information based upon personal knowledge of the person giving information involving himself to be the prime part taken in the offence.” A person shall not be asked to make statements against himself (i.e. self-harming statements/confessional statements).

CONTEMPORNEA EXPOSITIO EXTERNAL AID TO INTERPRETATIONShreya Chaurasia
Interpretation means the art of finding out the true sense of an enactment by giving the words of the enactment their natural and ordinary meaning.
It is the process of ascertaining the true meaning of the words used in a statute.
The Court is not expected to interpret arbitrarily and therefore there have been certain principles which have evolved out of the continuous exercise by the Courts. These principles are sometimes called ‘rules of interpretation’.
The object of interpretation of statutes is to determine the intention of the legislature conveyed expressly or impliedly in the language used.
Contempornea Expositio means that the meaning of words in a document are to be understood in the sense which they bore at the time of the document.
Contemporaneous exposition is the best and strongest in law. It is said that the best exposition of a statute or any other document is that which it has received from contemporary authority.
Contemporanea expositio est optima means usage or practice developed under a statute is indicative of the meaning ascribed to its words by contemporary opinion.

The doctrine of eclipse states that any laws made prior to the creation of the constitution, i.e. pre-constitution laws, but do not coincide with laws specified in the constitution after the constitution went into effect. In such a case, the laws are not void ab initio, but remain in effect until the relevant right is changed.

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.
