Scope and Provisions of the Arms Act, 1959

Posted on

This article is authored by Sanskriti Goel , a 1st year law student from Chanderprabhu Jain College of Higher Studies and School of law, GGSIPU. This article discusses the laws regarding the possession of arms and ammunition by individuals in India along with special emphasis on key provisions of the act. 

INTRODUCTION

The Arms Act, 1959 deals with acquisition, possession, manufacture, sale, import, export, licensing, and transport of arms and ammunition. The act is divided into six chapters with the purpose of restraining the manufacturing and use of illegal weapons and to deter violence that might occur from the use of these illegal weapons. The objective of the act as enshrined in its preamble is “to consolidate and amend the law relating to arms and ammunition”. The act makes carrying of arms and ammunition without a valid license a criminal offence. 

The Arms Act during the British Rule

After witnessing the revolt of 1857 against the British administration, Lord Lytton passed the Indian Arms Act, 1879. According to this act, Indians were prohibited from keeping in their possession any arms without a valid license. Interestingly, the act was applicable only to Indians and none of the British residing in India. The reason behind this was to put down any possible rebellion by Indian revolutionaries. 

Important Definitions under Section 2 of the Act

  • The definition of ‘license’ was incorporated in the act through an amendment in 2019. In the Arms Act, 1959 , in section 2, after clause (e), clause (ea) has been inserted which states the following:-

“licence” means a licence issued in accordance with the provisions of this Act and rules made thereunder and includes a licence issued in the electronic form. 

  • The clause (f) of section 2 of The Arms Act, 1959 states that “licensing authority” means an officer or authority empowered to grant or renew licences under rules made under this Act, and includes the Government. 
  • The clause (h) of section 2 of The Arms Act, 1959 states that “prohibited ammunition” means any ammunition containing, or designed or adapted to contain, any noxious liquid, gas or other such thing, and includes rockets, bombs, grenades, shells, missiles, articles designed for torpedo service and submarine mining and such other articles as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify to be prohibited ammunition. 
  • The clause (i) of section 2 of The Arms Act, 1959

defines “prohibited arms” as—

(i) firearms so designed or adapted that, if pressure is applied to the trigger, missiles continue to be discharged until pressure is removed from the trigger or the magazine containing the missiles is empty, or 

(ii) weapons of any description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other such thing, and includes artillery, anti-aircraft and anti-tank firearms and such other arms as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify to be prohibited arms. 

Section 3: License for a Acquisition and Possession of Firearms and Ammunation

This section states that—

  1. No person shall acquire, have in his possession, or carry any firearm or ammunition unless he holds in this behalf a licence issued in accordance with the provisions of this Act and the rules made thereunder. 

The sub-section also states that a person who does not hold a licence himself may carry any firearm or ammunition under the written authority of the holder of the licence for repair or for renewal of the licence or for use by such holder.

  1. This sub-section has been amended by The Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019 and states that no person, other than a person referred to in sub-section (3), shall acquire, have in his possession or carry, at any time, more than two firearms and if a person possesses more than two firearms at the commencement of the Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019, he shall keep any of the two arms of his choice with him and deposit the rest with the officer in charge of the nearest police station or with a licensed dealer within a period of one year. If the person belongs to armed forces then he must deposit the remaining firearms in the unit armoury and after which it shall be delicensed from the ninety days of the expiry of the aforesaid one year.
  2. Nothing contained in sub-section (2) shall apply to any dealer in firearms or to any member of a rifle club or rifle association licensed or recognised by the Central Government using a point 22 bore rifle or an air rifle for target practice.

Section 25: Punishment

Sub-section (1) of section 25 states that whoever, manufactures, obtains, procures, sells, transfers, converts, repairs, tests or proves, or exposes or offers for sale or transfer, or has in his possession for sale, transfer, conversion, repair, test or proof, any arms or ammunition shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than seven years but which may extend to imprisonment for life and shall also be liable to fine.

Rachelle Joel Oseran v. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. [Criminal Writ Petition No. 323 of 2017]

The petitioner was a citizen of Israel. She came to India for an educational trip with her friend and travel agent named Miss Hillary Weiss. The petitioner was lent a bag from Miss Hillary to keep the stuff, and the bag that Miss Hillary gave to the petitioner belonged to Hillary’s husband, Mr Dani Weiss, who served in the Israeli Army. When the luggage underwent the scanning process, a live cartridge was found in the baggage, after which she was arrested and taken to the police station. 

The Bombay High Court observed that the essential conditions under the section 3 and section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959 is the conscious possession of the arm. The petitioner was held not guilty on the ground that the petitioner had no knowledge of the cartridge which was found in her luggage.

The Overtime Work under Labor Laws

Posted on

This article is written by Kalyani Gupta, a Master’s in Law student from Amity University, Noida. This article discusses the overtime work policies and laws in accordance with the Labour Law.

INTRODUCTION

Overtime implies as the time spent working more than the normal or regular working hours which, in India, is supposed to be 8 – 9 hours per day and 48 – 50 hours per week, which depends upon the organization a person is employed with. If an individual works for longer than the normal hours of working, that person will be eligible to obtain and receive remuneration for the excess working hours, which will be twice the normal wage of that individual.

Several statutes in India regulate overtime and overtime payment laws. Also, various legal acts do provide for individually distinct periods of hours of working. Though, the working hours which are mentioned and prescribed under the Factories Act, is carried as a standard period of working hours. Section 51 of the Factories Act, 1948 states that employees are not intended to work for more than 48 hours in a one week, and according to section 59, employees are not intended to work for not more than 9 hours in a day. The time worked by an individual which is in excess of these 48 hours per week and 9 hours in a day will be considered as overtime work under the Act and will involve the employer to pay the workers twice the normal wage.

Provision under Labour Laws for Working Overtime

  1. Factories Act, 1948: Section 51 of the Factories Act, 1948 states that employees are not intended to work for more than 48 hours in a one week, and according to section 59, employees are not intended to work for not more than 9 hours in a day. The time worked by an individual which is more than 48 hours per week and 9 hours in a day will be considered as overtime work under the Act and will involve the employer to pay the workers twice the normal wage.
  1. Mines Act, 1952: Sections 28 to 30 of this Act states that no individual who is working in a mine is permitted to work for more than 10 hours per day, which is inclusive of overtime.
  1. Minimum Wages Act, 1948:  Section 33 of the Act states that the overtime wages must be twice the individuals normal wage rate. This implies that the employer can take up to a total of 9 hours of work in 12 hours shift in a day. But the employer must pay double for an hour or a part of an hour of the authentic work in excess of 9 hours or more than 48 hours in a week. Section 14 specifies that any employee or worker whose minimum rate of wage is set according to the time periods, such as hour, days or a week, and if that individual works more than the normal number of hours, it is then deemed to be overtime work. If the number of hours that represent a normal working day surpasses the required limit, then the employer must pay him the overtime rate for every such hour or part of an hour in which he has worked.
  1. Beedi and Cigar Workers Act, 1966: Sections 17 and 18 of this Act are related to the working hours. It is stipulated that working hours inclusive of the overtime work, should not surpass 10 hours a day and 54 hours a week.
  1. Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970: Rule 79 of this Act states that it is compulsory for every contractor to retain and form a register of overtime work covering all information concerning the calculation of the overtime work, total number of hours of extra work done, the name of the worker etc.
  1. Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment Service) Act, 1996: Sections 28 and 29 of this Act implies that workers who work overtime will be given overtime wages at a rate which is twice the existing wage rate.
  1. Working Journalist (Conditions of Service) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955: Rule 10 of the Act implies that a journalist who works during the day for more than 6 hours per day and more than 5 and a half hours at night shall be compensated with rest hours which will be equal to the hours that person has worked overtime.
  1. Plantation Labour Act, 1951: Section 19 of the Act states that where an adult worker works in any of the plantation during the day more than the number of hours that establish a normal working day or for more than 48 hours in a week, that person shall be permitted to twice the rate of ordinary wages for such overtime work. Providing that no such individual is allowed to work in a day for more than 9 hours and more than 54 hours a week.

Overtime Laws for Women and Children

The Factories Act, 1948 has restricted the working hours for women between 7:00 pm to 6:00 am, which can be eased by the Chief Inspector of those factories in some instances. If this kind of easing of specified hours of working surpasses the standard period of working hours, the employees will be entitled to receive compensation for that overtime work. Also, this respite is still very time sensitive, which means that women cannot be compelled to work between the time period of 10:00 pm to 05:00 am.

Section 75 of the same Act states that no child who is below 14 years of age can be hired or employed in any factory. A child who is above 14 years of age is eligible for employment in a factory, but cannot be permitted to work for more than 4 and half hours per day and cannot work between the time period of 10:00 pm and 6:00 am. Furthermore, a female child is not permitted to work in any of the factory, with the exception of between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm.

Work Hours for Young Workers

According to the Factories Act, 1948, A young individual is described as “child” or “adolescent” “(a person who has reached the age of 15 but has not reached the age of 18)”. This implies that a child whose working hours are limited to 4 and a half hours per day. It also specifies that the spread over should not surpass 5 hours. Though, the condition of the Act asserts that female child workers are forbidden from working between the time period of 7.00 p.m. to 8.00 am. According to the ‘Minimum Wages Act, 1948’, the number of hours of working for adolescents is determined by the medical expert as authorized by the government, which decides and chooses to contemplate adolescents as either adults or children. Nonetheless, the child should not be permitted to work for more than 4 and a half hours per day.

Workdays and Break Period

The Factories Act, 1948 states that the weekly holiday which falls on the first day of the week, which is either a Sunday or maybe any other specific day, as may be authorized in writing by the Chief Inspector of the Factories, is needed for a specific area. 

Section 52 mentions for the replacement of any weekly holiday so as to meet the conditions of this section, employees may be permitted to work on the day of that weekly holiday. The proviso also states that compensatory holiday is permitted instead of a revealed weekly holiday.

The provisions of the Factories Act, 1948, a rest period of approximately half an hour should be provided in such a manner that no working time surpasses 5 and half hours. In accordance with the Minimum Wages Act, the working day of any adult worker will be assessed in such a manner that it shall not go beyond a time limit of 12 hours per day, inclusive of the interval of rest.

New Labor Laws for Employees Regarding Overtime

Recently in 2021 itself, The Ministry of Labour is planning to execute the new Labour Law in the following financial year. The process is ongoing to complete it. After this new law is executed, a series of better rules will begin in the country’s labour market. Alongside this, the government has also been trying to clear out the doubts that have surfaced due to the new labour laws.

According to a report the government may alter the existing time threshold of overtime under the new Labour Law and working for more than 15 minutes past the scheduled hours will be deemed as overtime. Companies will have to pay the employees for overtime hours of work.

Bhagwati International Moot Court Competition 2019, 4th B.P. Saraf National Tax Law Moot Court Competition 2018 and many more. With similar enthusiasm, the university has been successfully organizing its flagship moot “International Maritime Arbitration Moot (IMAM)” for seven consecutive years to attract some of the brightest minds and honing their advocacy skills in the thriving fields of maritime law and arbitration.

About the Centre For Public Health Law (NLUO)

To advance focused research in the specific domains of law, National Law University Odisha, Cuttack has come out with dedicated research centres including on public health. The Centre for Public Health Law has been established with an aim to inquire into the paradigm of legal entitlements of people under the right to health and strategize the use of law to promote health equity. In advocating measures for improving the health of the people, we emphasise that public health policies must respect human rights and civil liberties. The Centre provides guidance to government and non-government organisations on matters of health policy and ensures its compatibility with the fundamental rights regime under the Indian Constitution.Advertisements

About Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI)

The Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) is a public-private initiative that has collaboratively evolved through consultations with multiple constituencies including Indian and international academia, state and central governments, multi & bi-lateral agencies and civil society groups. PHFI is a response to redress the limited institutional capacity in India for strengthening training, research and policy development in the area of Public Health. Structured as an independent foundation, PHFI adopts a broad, integrative approach to public health, tailoring its endeavors to Indian conditions and bearing relevance to countries facing similar challenges and concerns. The PHFI focuses on broad dimensions of public health that encompass promotive, preventive and therapeutic services, many of which are frequently lost sight of in policy planning as well as in popular understanding. The Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh, launched PHFI on March 28, 2006, at New Delhi. PHFI recognizes the fact that meeting the shortfall of health professionals are imperative to a sustained and holistic response to the public health concerns in the country which in turn requires health care to be addressed not only from the scientific perspective of what works but also from the social perspective of, who needs it the most.

About the 1st NLUO PDFI Public Health Law National Moot Court Competition:

National Law University Odisha, Cuttack takes pride in pioneering the development and teaching of ‘Public Health Law’ as a specialized course in India. We are the perhaps the only Indian University that offers a streamlined study of ‘Public Health Law’ as a seminar course, away from the shadow of Constitutional Law, Medicine and Law and Bioethics. While the Covid-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on just the subject there is a need for broader engagement with administrators, academicians, lawyers, law students across the country to critically analyse the role of law in making health a realizable goal and ensuring distributive fairness in the allocation of critical health infrastructure. What better way to do it and cudgel the young minds than a moot. So with an aim to expand our reach to law students across the country and make them think and research about various nitty-gritty’s of byzantine legal rules and principles that form the bedrock of public health apparatus we are organizing this Moot. The purpose of this moot is to armor budding lawyers with research skills and arguments on the tensions between civil liberties and the State’s coercive powers in the wake of vaccine policy.
