Indian Concept Of Justice

Posted on

The present article has been written by Aanya Gupta, pursuing BBA LLB from Vivekananda Institute of professional studies, GGSIPU , New Delhi

Introduction


The Indian Constitution deals with justice, freedom, equality, integrity, and dignity. The concept of justice depends on the interpretation of the constitution. The Constitution stipulates justice, namely social justice, economic justice, and legal justice, which are an integral part of the theory of distributive justice. The phenomenon of “distributive justice” is based on two important points: first, fair distribution is not only about resources and materials, but also rights, obligations, and responsibilities; secondly, justice is a phenomenon, not only for the people, who govern but also for those who govern. People who govern themselves. Article 14 and Article 21 of the Indian Constitution respectively mention “all people are equal before the law” and “the right to live with dignity”. This is the soul of constitutional governance; the constitution has the upper hand because it gives the people identity. Identity in society is everything to justice; we demand our identity, not just for justice. Many philosophers offer different concepts of justice. It cannot be said that the Constitution of India is based on one theory, but is the result of all jurisprudential theories. It requires real efforts for society, the individual, the law, the economy, and general development.

Justice is simple, but the world is complicated, so the application of justice in the world contains some complicated things. 2 When we consider questions of economic and social policy, justice will guide citizens to reflect. According to Amartya Sen in his book “The Concept of Justice”, the doctrine of political economy must include an explanation of the public interest based on the concept of justice. The theory of justice that can be used as a basis for practical reasoning must include methods for judging how to reduce injustice and promote justice, rather than merely aiming to describe a completely just society and practice as many of its main characteristics. theory. Justice in contemporary political philosophy. Justice is not a matter of reasoning at all; it is about being appropriately sensitive and having a proper sense of smell for injustice. The requirements of the theory of justice include playing a rational role in the diagnosis of justice and injustice. Faced with different theories of justice, the eternal dilemma is to find a tangled balance measure suitable for the ever-changing human affairs. The problem lies in the relationship between “justice” and “injustice”; what if the second is only the absence of the first?


Principle Of Natural Justice



The principles of natural justice are considered basic human rights because they try to provide justice to the parties in a natural way. Natural justice is another name for common sense justice. It is procedural, and it also aims to ensure judicial justice to the parties. The Supreme Court judge once said that the goal of natural justice is to ensure justice, or (negatively speaking) prevent judicial errors. It only operates in areas not covered by the law. It replaces the law and supplements it. 

 The principles of natural justice are:

1) Nemo Debet Esse Judex In Propria Causa, which means that no one can serve as a judge in his case. 

The first minimum requirement of natural justice is that the authority that decides the decision must act impartially and fairly. The judge must be fair. There can be many types of bias, such as monetary bias, personal bias, and official bias. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that the public has confidence in the fairness of the rewarding process.

 2) Audi Alteram Partem, which means to listen to each other. 

This principle means that the person must have a fair opportunity to defend himself. This means that no one will be convicted without being heard. In addition, it is very necessary not to try anyone without a fair hearing. Therefore, they will have the opportunity to respond to the evidence against them by providing all the facts and evidence that the court knows in their favor.

Constitutional Imperatives



ARTICLE 14
This article guarantees – equality before the law and equal protection of law within the territory of India. It binds the State to ensure that there is no discrimination being practiced in the nation. It includes the principle of the Rule of Law.

ARTICLE  15(1)
It prohibits discrimination on the grounds of religion, race, caste, gender, or place of birth. It is the duty of the state to make special provisions for women and children, and the advancement of any social and educationally backward classes of citizens, and Schedule Caste & Scheduled Tribe peoples.

ARTICLE 21
No person shall be deprived of his right to life and personal liberty except according to the procedure established by law.

ARTICLE 22
It gives special rights to arrested persons in certain cases which within its ambit contain very valuable elements of Natural Justice.

ARTICLE – 32 and 226

It collectively provides for Constitutional Remedies for violation of Fundamental Rights and Legal Rights. They can be exercised by issuing appropriate Writ, Direction, and Orders.


Conclusion


There is no value in linking the Constitution of India to a theory of justice because it is a combination of all methods of judicial jurisprudence. The constitution is an ideal and requires practical efforts for society, the individual, the law, the economy, and integral development. When we speak of the Constitution, we often speak of justice; because it is not only related to the development of people, but also the peace, security, and dignity of people; justice is important because it gives identity to people; an LGBT Issues Open space leads to a certain degree of legitimacy and requires more active rights, such as anti-discrimination measures and socio-economic benefits. Since Ward’s theory is consistent with article 15 and the article of the Constitution, we should apply an effective educational plan for balanced intelligence among people of different classes in society. Justice is fundamentally a matter of treating people equally and then trying to show that we must apply different standards of distribution in different situations. It includes a series of rights, such as freedom of expression and the right to vote that define citizenship, and the right to material resources that allow people to operate effectively as citizens in a political sense. Justice is not a fact, but an attitude to the facts that must be implemented to maintain the legitimacy of the constitution.

Evidentiary Value Of FIR

Posted on

The present article has been written by Gracy Singh, a 2nd Year student pursuing a BA.LLB (Hons.) from Mody University of Science and Technology, Lakshamangarh, Rajasthan.

Introduction

FIR or First Information Report is the earliest form of information relating to the commission of cognizable offense recorded by the officer-in-charge of the Police Station. The term FIR is not defined anywhere but Section 154 of CrPC talks about information on cognizable offenses, while Section 155 (2) states the information on non-cognizable offenses. The purpose of FIR is to set the criminal law in motion, and to obtain first-hand information about any occurrence to exclude any fallacious story; it is the state’s duty to protect the society and to offer requital to the victim. 

 In, State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal It was held that if any information disclosing cognizable offense and satisfy the requirement of Section 154(1) comes before the officer in charge then, he has to accept to enter the substance in the prescribed form.

Evidentiary Value Of FIR 

FIR is important evidence but it cannot be considered as a substantive piece of evidence. This is because under FIR –

  1. Statements are not made under oath.
  2. Statements have no cross-examination in court.
  3. Statements are not made during the proceedings and trial.

Yet, the evidentiary value of FIR is important than any other statement in cognizable offenses or during the investigation because –

  1. to corroborate statements made by the informant 
  2. to refresh the informant’s memory 
  3. to cross-examination statements recorded by the informant 
  4. to impeach the creditworthiness of the informant
  5. to ascertain the information related to the commission of an offense.

In, Pandurang Chandrakant Mhatre v. the State of Maharashtra it was held that FIR is not a substantive piece of evidence. It can only be used to impeach the credibility of the testimony recorded by the maker but it cannot be used for contradicting the testimony of other witnesses. 

Exceptions Where FIR Is Accepted As Evidence

FIR can be accepted as substantial evidence –

  1. When the declaration is made by the person who is dead.
  2. When the incident took place in the presence of Station House Officers and the injured person makes the statement to the officer.
  3. When the informant does not remember the facts but is sure about the facts stated in the FIR.

Corroborative Value Of FIR

Although FIR is not a substantive piece of evidence it can have corroborative value under Section 157 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and can be used to contradict the informant under Section 145 of the same Act.

Section 145 of the Indian Evidence Act deals only with the method of contradicting previous statements made by the witness in writing through cross-examination. The statement which has been made by the informant or the witness must be either written or by someone else. 

In the case, Ram Chandra v. the State of Haryana, it was held by the Supreme Court that the information of the FIR can be used only for contradicting and corroborating the facts stated by the informant or by any other witness.

Section 157 of the Indian Evidence Act states that to be corroboration of any form of the previous statement must disclose the same facts or the time. It must be presented before any authority having the legal competence to investigate the particular fact and also proved in the court. 

In the case, Hasib v. the State of Bihar The Supreme Court held that as per Section 157 and 145 of the Indian Evidence Act, FIR can be used only for corroborating and contradicting the informant who lodged the FIR. 

In the case, State of Orissa v. Makund Harijan and Anr., it was held by the Orissa High Court that  FIR can be used to corroborate and contradict the informant but the omissions of certain important facts 

Dying Declaration In FIR

The term Dying Declaration means any written or verbal statement made by the person who is dead or the person who died while explaining the facts of his death. This concept was evolved from a legal maxim, ‘nemo moriturus praesumitur mentri’ which means a man will not meet his maker with a lie in his mouth. Section 32(1) of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 deals with the concept of dying declaration, and the statements are assumed to be relevant. 

In, K.R Reddy v. Public Prosecutor The court observed the evidentiary value of dying declaration that the dying declaration is permissible under Section 32, and through cross-examination, the truth could be tested as the statement is not made on oath. Before acting upon it, the closest inspection of the statement should be observed by the court. It is also assumed that the statement given by a dying person is of serious nature as the person is not likely to lie when he is on the verge of death. The statement is enough to prove the conviction if the court is satisfied that the dying declaration is true and not influenced. 

A dying declaration can be recorded by a doctor or a public servant if the victim is hospitalized and wants to make a statement. It is recommended to make a dying declaration to a magistrate or in his presence but if this is not possible it can be recorded by the public servants. Even though the dying declaration by police officers is inadmissible in the court but due to circumstances, the court has to consider such declaration.

In, Maniram v. State of Madhya Pradesh The dying declaration was documented by a doctor without authentication of the conscience report of the deceased as well as there was no thumb impression on the declaration. The credibility of the FIR was lost in this case. 

Conclusion

Fir is an important report, it can be provided as valuable evidence duly reported. FIR, under Section 145 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 can contradict the witness if the informant is present as a witness during the trial; under Section 157 of the same Act, it can corroborate the informant. In some cases, FIR can be considered as Substantial Evidence but mostly it is just an important piece of evidence. Therefore, it is necessary to lodge an FIR against any crime by the police officers and to initiate the investigation.

Common Intention And Common Objective

Posted on

The present article has been written by Aanya Gupta pursuing BBA LLB  from Vivekananda Institute of professional studies, GGSIPU, New Delhi.

INTRODUCTION

Sections 34 and 149 of the IPC represent implied liability rules, which means that one person is responsible for the effects of other people’s amendments, but sections 34 and 149 should not be mixed. In Section 34 and Section 149, the law of common intention is by no means synonymous but has its distinguishing characteristics. Chapter VIII of the Indian Penal Code deals with Section 141 to 160 of “Crimes against Public Peace”. The crime of disturbing public order is also called “collective crime”. Section 141 defines an “illegal assembly”, which means that there must be 5 or more people present, and it must target all of them. In the common intention, there must be a previous thought and unity, just as there must be an obvious behaviour in the progress of the common intention of all; on the other hand, the common object can develop without a mindless initial meeting. The common purpose of the illegal gathering may be one, but the purpose is different.

DEFINITION OF COMMON INTENTION

Common intention refers to a predetermined plan and a concerted action to execute the plan. The common intention occurred before the crime occurred, but the time interval between the two should not be too long. It can happen suddenly. As stated in section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, when two or more persons agree to perform an act with a common intention, the co-convict has the right to take equal criminal responsibility. In this case, each member must be held accountable for the behavior, in the way they did individually. In the case of Amrik Singh, it is further believed that although a common intention may develop during battle, there must be clear and irreproachable evidence to prove that the inference is correct. In the case of Pandurang v.Hyderabad, the Supreme Court emphasized this point. The previous concert may not always be long before the incident, but it may have occurred under the stimulation of the scene. At this time. Section 34 of the IPC incorporates the principle of joint and several liabilities in the commission of criminal acts, the key of which is the existence of a common intention. Its applicability is due to the crime involved. This is one of the provisions of the Indian Penal Code, which aims to expand the responsibilities of others.

OBJECTIVE OF SECTION 34


Section 34 is designed to address a situation where it may be difficult to distinguish the common intentions of criminal acts of individual party members in favor of all, or it is difficult to prove precisely which parties each participated in. In this case, the reason everyone is found guilty is that the existence of accomplices provides encouragement, help, security, and confidence to people who engage in illegal acts. Therefore, every person who commits a crime is responsible for their participation in the act committed, even if the specific activity involved was not carried out by any member of the group.

INGREDIENTS OF SECTION 34

Criminal acts of several people: The aforementioned criminal acts must be carried out by several people. If the criminal act is a completely new and independent act outside of their minds, other people will not be held responsible just because they deliberately participated in another criminal act when the criminal act occurred. Different associates may have different behaviors in criminal activity, but all must participate and participate in criminal activity in some way.

Common intention: The core of joint responsibility under section 34 lies in the existence of a common intention to commit criminal acts to support the common objective of all members of the group. The term “common intention” refers to the previous concert, that is, the opinions and participation of all the members of the group in the implementation of the plan. The behaviors performed by each participant may vary from one personality to another but must be performed with the same common intention.

DEFINITION OF COMMON OBJECTIVE

Chapter 8 of the IPC deals with crimes that endanger the public peace. Section 141 defines illegal assembly and specifies that the members of the assembly have the common goal of implementing an act of enlistment. Therefore, the existence of the common object is a key factor in determining the crimes provided for in Chapter VIII of the Indian penal code. Specifically, when considering the concept of a common objective, Section 149 of the IPC establishes that if any criminal act is committed to achieving the common objective of an illegal assembly, it must be respected. The reason for considering Section 149 is that if the offense is to act by a common goal, then this article punishes the common goal.

In the case of Roy Fernandes v. Goa State the Supreme Court held that to determine the existence of a common object, the court must verify the circumstances of the incident and the illegal gathering of the members, including the criminal weapon used by the accused of the crime. Furthermore, in the case of Ramachandran v. Kerala State, the Supreme Court clarified that in the sense of meeting with members of an illegal assembly, a common goal may have been temporarily formed and no prior agreement is necessary.

INTRODUCTION TO SECTION 149 IPC


Section 149 of the IPC, 1860 is defined as Every member of an illegal assembly commits a crime by pursuing a common object. This section can easily be understood as if any member of an illegal assembly commits an offense while pursuing the common purpose of the assembly, or if the member of the assembly knows that they may commit an offense while prosecuting to that end, any person who is a member of the same council at the time the crime was committed is the crime.
In Bhudeo Mandal v. Bihar, the Supreme Court ruled that, with the help of Section 149, before convicting any individual, the test must not only establish the common object but also prove that the common object is illegal. The penalty under Section 149 is the same as the crime committed in an illegal assembly. If the prosecution wants to prove that it is an individual under section 149 of the IPC, it must prove that the person is on the scene and participating in an illegal assembly. This chapter creates positive or indirect responsibility for the illegal acts committed by members of the illegal assembly in the persecution common clause

INGREDIENTS OF SECTION 149


A) Prosecution of common goals: “Prosecution of common goals” does not mean “persuasion of the common goal of the assembly.” The term “common objectives in the prosecution” indicates that the crime committed is common to the assembly in which the accused participated. The objective is directly related. The behavior must be a way to achieve the common purpose imputable to the members of the illegal assembly. “Suing for the common purpose” should be interpreted strictly as “to achieve the common purpose.”

(B) Members know that it is possible: -The second part refers to crimes that members of parliament know that they are likely to commit when prosecuting a common goal. An issue can only happen when it can happen or is likely to happen. When committing a crime, the word “knowing” refers to a state of mind, not the latter. Knowledge must be tested. The word “may” means strong evidence that such knowledge can be obtained by illegal assemblies. The prosecution must prove that the defendant not only knew that the crime was likely to occur, but that it was probably committed in pursuit of the common goal of the assembly.

(C) Five or more people—To apply this section, it must be demonstrated that the common object is shared by at least five people. Although some of them may be identified or their identities are doubtful, the existence of five or more people must be proven beyond doubt. In some cases, even fewer than five people can be convicted. However, if it is suspected that there are at least five persons under this article, it is impossible to convict.

CONCLUSION

Modifying the responsibility of correction Section 34 or Section 149 depends on the methods taken to provide crimes. “Common intentions” and “common objects” of the “general explanation” of the IPC are each of the “crimes” for public varicose veins, respectively. Sometimes it is difficult to prove to try if they are sharing a common intention. However, these ambiguities were eliminated by the Supreme Court in several cases after determining the facts and circumstances of each case.

Prolonged Delay in Rape Trial

Posted on

The present article has been written by Shrey Hasija, a first-year student of Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies, GGSIPU.

Introduction 

In a society like India where cultural expectations and attitudes toward society determine the type of relations and behavior with people. An incident of rape in that type of society, where a victim looked like some damaged goods instead of giving sympathy to him. Also, the family of victims tends to reject victims due to social pressure. Also reporting this type of crime is considered a daring act on part of both family and victim due to prosecution place the victim has to face embarrassing and uncomfortable line of questioning, which is why the cases of rape are most under-reported crimes in India. A murderer destroys the physical being of a person but rape destroys or deteriorates the mental being of a person and in some extreme cases makes the person insane. Increasing cases of rape and the extreme condition of rape calls for the speedy delivery of justice to the victims and their families, who are suffering from the wrongdoing of someone else who is roaming freely without being punished.

Also, there is a famous saying that ‘justice delayed is justice denied ‘by William Goldstone which means that if timely justice is not given to suffering one then it will lead to injustice. In the case of prolonged delay in the rape trial, there is a classic example which I think everyone in India knows about is Nirbhaya’s Case in which a young girl was gang-raped on a running bus in Delhi, So brutally that she lost her life. Despite that, the case took 7 painful years for justice to be served. The time has come to adopt speedy machinery for providing speedy justice to a rape victim and providing the victim new to live with dignity.

Why does it take so much time to provide justice to the victims?

The unnecessary and undue delay in the rape cases has become a barrier in giving justice to the victim. So delays only increase the pain and suffering of the victim and allows the accused to travel freely. Very large no cases are pending in our courts which make the people doubt the judicial system of India. It is very important to trace and resolve the barriers so that the remaining trust should be preserved.

There are some major reasons for prolonged investigation and trial:-

  1. Insufficient staff – sometimes shortage of police personnel, takes a very long time to investigate. also, sometimes police officers found not to file an FIR, to avoid the overload of work
  2.  Lack of Training: The police officers are not properly trained for conducting the investigation process particularly in Rape cases. Further, they are not well equipped with necessary instruments such as forensic lab, cyber cell, and assisting officers which makes the investigation slow and ineffective.
  3.  Political Influence and Corruption: Sometimes it is observed that due to political influence or pressure by powerful persons, police officers resist investigating properly. Also, corruption among police officers is often the reason behind the delay in investigation and trial.
  4. Lack of Supervision and Inspection: There is a lack of supervision in the functioning of the police mechanism by the senior officers on their subordinates. Proper inspections are not done on the registration or filing of FIR and the investigation process. 
  5. Lack of Separate Investigation wing/body: It is observed that various duties are assigned to the police officers which makes it impracticable for them to pay proper and exclusive attention to the investigation of Rape cases. A separate investigation branch must be established which will be solely involved in the investigation of rape cases.
  6.  Lack of Cooperation by the public: Often it is complained by the police officers that there is a lack of cooperation by the public. Many times the eyewitnesses evade from giving evidence in the court and also from giving vital information to the police which in turn leads to delayed trial.
  7.  Overburdened Trial Courts: The Trial Courts are overburdened with many new and pending cases which makes it difficult to dispose of the cases quickly
  8. Delay Service of warrants/Summons: Sometimes the accused or the witnesses are not summoned properly on proper time due to which their production and examination in the Court are delayed. It is found that effective service and execution of warrants by the police is not done properly which delays the whole trial process.
  9. Delay in Submission of experts reports: Sadly, there is a significant lack of Cyber Cells and Forensic labs in many police departments of the state due to which essential tests cannot be conducted by the experts which also leads to nonsubmission of the report on time. 
  10. Adjournment of Cases: Excessive adjournment of cases in the trial court is one of the major causes of delay in disposing of the Rape cases. Sometimes the opposite party deliberately seeks adjournment which adds difficulties to the quick disposal of Rape cases.  

CONCLUSION 

Rape is the most pathetic crime committed against women. It does not only cause physical mutilation but also the mental distress that stays with her till the end of her life. The court cannot bring back what she has lost but necessary efforts could be made to secure convenient, fastest, and fair justice. Many provisions emphasize the concept of speedy trial and recognize it as a matter of right of the innocent victim. Moreover, speedy trial acts as an ointment and saves them from being re-victimized from the delayed and prolonged trials. Over the decade’s many suggestions and recommendations have been given by various committees regarding the speedy administration of justice. It is pertinent to understand that justice cannot be served to the victim by making legislations and recommendations; rather it can only be served by the strict implementation. For proper and effective implementation of laws, the roles of every block of society such as non-governmental organizations, media, police officers, medical officers, lawyers, and the judicial fraternity are of utmost importance. Strong efforts must be made to spread awareness and education among the Rape Victims about their rights so that they can avail themselves of them and get the justice that they truly deserve. In the end, the author would like to conclude by saying that delay in delivering justice is denying justice to the innocent victim because the longer they are made to fight for their rights and suffer the hardship, the longer will be the ill effects on their minds and emotions. Therefore it is necessary to provide easier and faster justice to the Rape Victims so that they can live a peaceful life and the monsters that are hiding under the cover of human beings can learn a lesson and never even think of raping a girl. By ensuring speedy justice to the Rape Victim the objective of “Rape Free India” can be achieved.
