Speaking at the 134th birth anniversary celebrations of Dr BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, Justice Paul said, Every citizen must take up the task as their personal responsibility.

We must prevent impurities from creeping in. Justice Surepalli Nanda described Dr Ambedkar as a visionary who fought against inequality and gave India a noble Constitution.

Chattisgarh BJP MP expresses concern with CM over crime and traffic
RAIPUR: BJP Lok Sabha MP from Raipur Brijmohan Agrawal has written to Chattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai to fill the police forces existing vacancies immediately in light of growing concern over rising crime and traffic issues in the state capital, Raipur. He asked the chief minister to strengthen the law and order situation in the capital by promptly recruiting personnel against vacant posts and sanctioning additional strength in the police force deployed there. Understaffed police not just leads to long duty hours and stress among the personnel, affecting their proper functioning, but also makes life difficult for the 16 lakh population in the capital region, said Agrawal. He said that of the 3,805 sanctioned posts in the police department for Raipur district, 796 were vacant, and the current security ratio was one policeman for every 477 persons. And out of the sanctioned 2,738 posts for constables, only 2,007 have been deployed. There is a need to increase the strength of the force in view of frequent VIP movements and rising population, he pointed out. In response to the letter, the government stated it would consider the matters raised by the BJP MP.

Government taking 'transformative' steps to modernise countrys criminal justice system: HM Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the government has been taking 'transformative' steps to modernise the countrys criminal justice system by making mandatory visit of forensic teams to crime spot, in cases entailing punishment over seven years. It also claimed that introducing three new criminal laws is the biggest reform of the 21 st century. Speaking at the All India Forensic Summit organised, the Home Minister said, Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are striving to ensure that those seeking 'justice' are receiving 'timely' justice too. The outcome is satisfying. Our main goal is to build a secure, capable and empowered India. Shah said, The Government of India has introduced three new laws to strengthen the criminal justice system. This summit has been organised to discuss two key aspects: the effective implementation of these new laws and the future role of forensic science in countering terrorism. Highlighting the role of forensics in ensuring timely justice and improving conviction rate, Shah said, The nature of crime has changed significantly --criminals are now using technology and modern communication tools, making crime borderless. Earlier, crimes were mostly confined to districts, cities, or countries, but now, they have no boundaries. Noting that this trend was recognised by PM Modi earlier too, Shah said, In 2009, when PM Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he had proposed in the cabinet, the creation of a Forensic Science University in Gujarat -- a foundation that would support the countrys criminal justice system for the next 50 years. The Home Minister further noted saying: If we are to ensure that even those accused do not face injustice, while also protecting the rights of victims, then forensic science must become an integral part of the criminal justice system. He also argued that laws, which are not updated, fail to fulfill their purpose. The three old laws -- IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act -- were not made to deliver justice to citizens but to maintain the rule of the British government. The three new laws -- BNS, BNSS and BSA -- are made by the citizens, for the citizens, and to protect their rights. This is the biggest reform of the 21st century, Shah noted. Meanwhile, paying tribute to BR Ambedkar on his 135the birth anniversary, the Home Minister, his address, also said, his commitment to education, equality and justice and his significant role in shaping modern India. Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, who laid the foundation of social revolution through education, equality, and justice, remained committed throughout his life to securing the rights of the deprived,the Home Minister said, adding that Ambedkars thoughts continue to inspire people today in building a just and egalitarian society.

Javed Akhtar describes poetry as language of justice; says right wing failed to give any big poet
MUMBAI: Describing poetry as the language of justice and vocal cords of society, renowned screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar has said the right wing has not been able to create any big poet across the world. He was addressing a gathering on Friday evening at Annabhau Sathe Auditorium in Byculla of central Mumbai after receiving the 'Namdeo Dhasal Samashti Award' during the Samashti Arts and Literature Festival. The two-day event, which started on April 11, has been organised in memory of noted Marathi poet and Dalit activist late Namdeo Dhasal. People who listen to poetry of romance do not know that poetry is not only the language of love, but it is also the language of justice. The value system of poetry is culturally correct all over the world. And this is the reason why in the history of the world, the right wing has never been able to create a big poet, he said. Poetry believes in equality, it believes in justice and the same poetry which preaches these values has been accepted across the world, he said. A big poet is the one who speaks about justice, and the poet (Dhasal) in whose name we are gathered here today spoke about justice, Akhtar said. A fish does not have vocal cords. It does not scream or does not have a voice. So you do not know its pain or torture it is suffering, he added. Poetry is the vocal cords of society. Mahatma Phule and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar provided vocal cords to the voiceless...The whole movement of ours, which is for social justice, was born in Maharashtra, he said. Dhasal was not a poet of the 20th century, he was born thousands of years ago, the screenwriter-lyricist said. Lava does not come out in a day. It takes years for its formation and it comes out with an explosion, by breaking the mountain one day, he said, and likened Dhasal to a volcano. After the speech, Akhtar also read the Urdu translation of Dhasal's poem 'Raktat Petlelya Aganit Suryanno'. Sandeep Tamgadge, Additional Director General of Police of Nagaland, in his speech praised Samashti Foundation. Civilisation and culture are never of a particular class or society. They belong to everyone, he said, adding that many times, a particular class that does not have a voice does not get a popular stage. If you see TV and other media, they are continuously discussing one particular ideology and do not bother to show the other sides of the coin, he said. Journalists Dnyanesh Maharao, Raju Parulekar, Shyamal Garud, Amol Deolekar, Disha Wadekar and others were honoured at the festival.

Measures needed to help kids who have witnessed grave crimes: Madras HC
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court stressed the need to bring in remedial measures to help children who have witnessed grave crimes to overcome the mental agony. A division bench of Justices MS Ramesh and N Senthilkumar while hearing an appeal filed by a murder convict who killed his own sister in front of her eight-year-old daughter, noted that while the Pocso Act provides remedial measures for child sexual assault victims, no such mechanism is available for the children who have witnessed grave crimes. The appellant, P Saravanakumar of Coimbatore, murdered his sister on April 7, 2018, over a quarrel in the family and mutilated the body in front of the deceaseds daughter. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Principal Sessions and District Court in Coimbatore on April 22, 2022. Praying for setting aside the conviction and sentence, he filed the appeal. Senior counsel Abudukumar Rajarathnam, appearing for Saravanakumar, informed the court that as he has been suffering from schizophrenia, his psychological conditions have to be evaluated and due remedial measures be taken. At the same time, he noted that the deceaseds daughter would have undergone severe trauma, and the incident might have left a psychological scar on her future. He suggested that the government establish a mechanism to conduct psychological evaluation of children who have witnessed violent crimes and provide them counselling to overcome the impact of the chilling incidents. The bench concurred with these submissions, saying that it has no words to express the agony and anguish which the child would have undergone and the subsequent trauma in the following years. The bench suo motu impleaded top officials of the centre and the state, including the Secretaries of Union Ministry of Women and Child Development and TN Social Welfare and Women Empowerment Department. It also directed the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) ARL Sundaresan and Additional Advocate General (AAG) J Ravindran to file a preliminary report in the court on the views of these departments to bring in remedial measures to children who are witness to grave crime. Stating that it was informed that there is no policy or programme to ensure these child victims become physically fit, mentally alert and morally healthy, the bench noted that the National Policy for Children was also not being implemented.
