The Kathmandu Dialogue – 2018 International Summer School

“The Kathmandu Dialogue” – 10 days International Summer School (ISS) on the theme of ‘International Law and the Asia Pacific Connectivity for Shared Future through Economic and Social Interactions’ which is going to be held from 21st August 2018 – 30th August 2018.

“The Kathmandu Dialogue” is our new initiative to initiate academic assistance and encouragement of young students to critically debate, write and discuss on international law and relations issues. For that purpose, this program we believe will address the absence of a platform of understanding international law and relations from different perspective, respective states position in international affairs, conducting in-depth research, ability to give legal reasoning’s on International Law. We are expecting students from Asia Pacific Countries including that of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri-Lanka, Nepal and China.

Prof. Wang Liming, Executive Vice President, Renmin University of China has kindly consented to be the Chief Guest at the Kathmandu Dialogue this year.

CALL FOR EDITORS: CAMPUS AMBASSADORS & CONTENT WRITER DROIT PENALE: INDIAN LAW JOURNAL ON CRIME & CRIMINOLOGY (ONLINE) ISSN: 2456-7280

CALL FOR EDITORS: CAMPUS AMBASSADORS & CONTENT WRITER DROIT PENALE: INDIAN LAW JOURNAL ON CRIME & CRIMINOLOGY (ONLINE) ISSN: 2456-7280

Droit Penale: ILJCC is a quarterly journal; the journal is in association with ARJUN DAS GULATI MEMORIAL SOCIETY, ALLAHABAD. We are very glad to announce that we have completed and published our volume one. We are taking the opportunity to invite several posts for the editorial board, campus ambassadors, and content writers. The Indian law journal on crime and criminology (ILJCC) bearing ISSN 2456-7280 seeks applications for researchers and scholars to join the editorial direction of the journal and ensure engaging and thought-provoking original research publications.

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

A question often arises as to what is the difference between criminal law and criminology or between criminal justice and criminology. “DROIT PENALE: The Indian Law Journal on Crime and Criminology (ILJCC)”, aims to resolve this dubiousness by providing a wide range of well researched articles, case notes, commentaries etc. covering the major aspects and issues under the ambit of crime and criminology. The term ‘Droit Penale’, literally means criminal law. It has a French origin and deals with the various facets of crime and criminology. As a huge field of academic study, Criminology tends to cover criminal law and jurisprudence apart from dealing with crimes and criminal and socially deviant behaviour of criminals existing in the society. It also deals with the decriminalisation processes. While Criminal law mainly focuses on the punishments coupled or labelled with such a criminal behaviour.

The ILJCC, a student friendly law journal, has emerged bearing the idea to encapsulate an exhaustive approach towards all these fields.

Further the journal will also feature the works, opinions and viewpoints of the greatest jurists of all times blended with the modern critical approaches towards their work. The IJLCC is committed to provide uncommon, unique and fresh probe into the core legal issues.

When doctorate becomes a degree of harassment

When doctorate becomes a degree of harassment

PhD students are not just overloaded with course work; they are also forced to foot expensive bills for their mentors, take classes on their behalf and even abused sexually.

CHENNAI: A flight ticket and a suite at a star hotel. Mohan Ram* also had to ensure that a pick-up was arranged from the hotel. Later that evening he found himself buying his guest drinks at an expensive bar. All this hospitality ensured a prefix to his name. He is now Dr Mohan Ram*.

The life of a research scholars can be lonely and hard. In India, such students are further likely to face exploitation at the hands of several stakeholders in the process of earning their doctorate.

The recent alleged ‘sex for academic progress’ scandal involving an assistant professor at an Aruppukottai collage, is only the tip of the iceberg. While abuse can be of a sexual nature, it is common for research scholars to be subject to abuse of power in the form of emotional abuse, being made to take on additional work, run personal errands, or even offer bribes.

This exploitation is set up by the power that PhD supervisors exercise over a student’s research, progress and career. These guides are both the mentor who can support and facilitate the emotional processes; and the patron who manages the springboard from which the student can leap into a career. Students are dependant on them for everything from financial sanctions, networks and guidance.

While there are guidelines stipulating duration of PhDs, guides could stretch the project out for up to eight years. Many PhD students work on scholarships, usually available only for a certain period of time. “Students who are forced to finish majority of their work before their scholarship ends, need competent co-operation from their guides,” said former Anna University V-C M Anandakrishnan.

Thus, Mohan Ram, then a PhD scholar had to ensure a comfortable stay for the external examiner who conducted his viva voce test. Mohan, who pursued his research at one of the largest private engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu, said that he didn’t want five years of work going down the drain, simply because the examiner was in a bad mood.

“The examiner asked me to ensure a comfortable stay for him and my faculty-guide elaborated on what was the ‘industrial norm’ for a comfortable stay,” says Mohan, adding that he was scared of his thesis getting rejected.

Kaushik Sam*, who pursued his PhD at a private university in the outskirts of Chennai three years ago, met his PhD guide for the first time only two years into his research. “The professor I wanted as a guide was in high demand and so a faculty from my college, who knew the subject well, was my acting-guide. And he usually coordinated with the actual guide,” he said.

A former faculty of the university, on condition of anonymity said that he himself had been such an acting-guide. “While the University will not pay us for it, we will be listed as co-authors for that paper. This adds a lot to our academic resume,” he said. However, this means that the student’s research progress falls in the hands of a nodal faculty. Moreover, as doctoral students are not employees, they are not protected from employment legislation that prohibits staff bullying at work. Factors such as gender, social status, caste and network too influence the extent to which students get bullied.

Sexual favours

Anandakrishnan recalls firing a Chemistry professor after two female research scholars alleged that he was asking them for sexual favours. “The teacher went on to joining another university in a couple of years and my hands were tied,” he said. In October 2017, law student Raya Sarkar’s list, that went viral, revealed how often students felt sexually harassed by faculty. Sarkar had compiled a list of alleged sexual predators in Indian academia, claiming their victims had submitted their names to her. The list featured 58 academics from 29 Indian colleges, research centres and universities.

The alleged crimes listed against the professors ranged from verbal abuse to molestation and rape. Subsequently, students filed complaints before internal complaints committees against some of those named. For instance, prominent academic Lawrence Liang of Ambedkar University Delhi was held guilt of sexual harassment by that varsity’s sexual harassment committee.

Caste-based discrimination too pervades the research sphere. The issue caught national attention after Rohith Vemula, a research scholar at the University of Hyderabad, committed suicide in January 2016 following a controversy that had begun in July 2015 when the university reportedly stopped paying him a fellowship because an inquiry found that he had been “raising issues under the banner of Ambedkar Students Association.” His acquaintance J Muthukrishnan, from Tamil Nadu, committed suicide at Jawaharlal Nehru University last year. Dalit and marginalised students have spoken up about difficulties in being assigned supervisors, being poorly graded, or verbally abused.

Four committees

The chairman of All India Council for Technical Education Anil Sahasrabuddhe has said that every university must have a redressal mechanism for all kinds of bullying. “There are four committees mandated for any technical institute to get its license: The Internal Complaints Committee for sexual harassment, committee to investigate atrocities against SC/ST and minorities, anti-ragging and grievance redressal committee,” he said.

The earliest sexual harassment committees were formed in educational institutions based on Supreme Court guidelines framed as part of the case that led to the Vishakha judgement in 1997. Some of these were reconstituted and at most institutions, new internal complaints committees formed, after the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act was passed in 2013.
Bound by regulations, committees require “proper procedure” even for registering complaints. They must be submitted in writing or a statement should be recorded and signed.

There is no scope for an anonymous complaint registered without disclosing the identity of the complainant to the committee, the accused and witnesses. Once a complaint is received, a sub-committee of about three-four members, within the larger complaints committee, inquires into it. Not all varsities have such fully functional complaints committees, though.

Anandakrishnan suggested that a dean, who exclusively looks into research and development could prevent the extent of this exploitation. “The dean should be aware of the time taken for research by scholars, and why it’s getting delayed or why a lot of funds come in at a certain point The dean would basically be in charge of the dynamics of the PhD programme,” he said.

Student unions

Abuse against students can be prevented only when there is a strong student union, opines former vice chancellor of Manonmanium Sundaranar University V Vasanthi Devi. “A strong elected student body is the best immunity. The union must be able to give voice to individuals,” she said adding that efforts must be taken to have fair representation within the union. Such democratic student bodies help prevent harassment while preserving anonymity, according to a report of a committee headed by JM Lyngdoh, constituted by Ministry of Human Resource Developmen as per the direction of the Supreme Court of India.*-Names changed

The Policy Troupe: Almora Deliberation

The Policy Troupe: Almora Deliberation

LexQuest Foundation

As a developing nation, we are often grappling with myriad problems and multiple challenges that our governance structures alone aren’t equipped to resolve. This is why it becomes imperative that the citizens engage, ideate and deliberate on change that they seek, as it will not only encourage proactive citizenry but will also help attain effective and impactful solutions.

At LexQuest, a Research and Educational Organisation, based out of Delhi, we intend to stir and awaken the change seekers and change makers amongst you. Since we firmly believe that effective policy formulation is crucial to shift the paradigm, when it comes to our most ignominious failings as a nation, we are committed to facilitate the learning curve for you, as far as policy analysis, assessment and awareness is concerned.

Keeping in line with our aim to nurture and fuel your thoughts some more, we are now entering the realm of policy innovation through our initiative- The Policy Troupe! As the Troupe will transcend the length and breadth of the country, you will get to move out of your comfort zones and find yourselves in a position to change the status quo, with respect to the multipronged challenges faced by our nation.

We therefore, invite you to join The Policy Troupe! Put your ideas, perceptions and learnings to test, by getting exposed to real people and problems, so that you can move beyond theory and polish your skills of application.

About the Almora Deliberation:

Amidst the picturesque landscape of Almora, lies the widely prevalent complexity of extending education for livelihood, more so, when mountains prove to be one of the most difficult terrains with limited sources of income and very few viable employment opportunities. While various Civil Society groups are assisting the local population to attain sustainable sources of income, finding long lasting solutions to resolve the following issues, is the need of the hour:

How to prepare children in schools such, that they are able to acquire the skills for a sustainable source of livelihood?
How to cope with the perils of economic inequality and let education serve as a means to livelihood?
How can teachers ensure that school education can equip students to take up alternative sources of livelihood?

At the Almora Deliberation, through an effective and intensive set of action oriented engagements and interactions, in a course of 2 days, The Policy Troupe, will enable you to chalk out ideas, that can lead to transformative policies, at this first of its kind event. We aspire to help you explore, identify and assess your abilities as a thinker, leader and doer. So if you doubt your ability to think, analyse, assess and apply your knowledge to real life projects, join the Troupe and let it enable you to innovate and formulate as you go through an enriching and empowering expedition in the serenity of the Kumaon Himalayas.

Why no probe yet in professor sex harassment case: Delhi HC to JNU

NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Wednesday pulled up Jawaharlal Nehru University authorities over their failure to start an internal probe against a professor accused of sexual harassment. Professor Atul Kumar Johri has been named in eight FIRs.

“What about providing an environment that is safe (for students)? He (professor) is a warden and some students in the hostel have said they feel unsafe. Is the vice-chancellor so helpless that beyond an internal complaint committee (ICC), he can’t act? He is the head of an educational institution,” Justice Rajiv Shakdher asked the counsel of the university when she claimed the administration could do little since students have not lodged a complaint with the committee. The court was hearing a petition by women students who are seeking Johri’s suspension and want his entry barred.

The petition has sought that a safe working environment be provided to students. “Would it not be advisable to tell the professor to stay out of the campus till the inquiry is completed? You can treat the representations as complaints. Core issue is that the students should feel safe in the campus. I am not saying you completely trash the professor. Take his defence, give him a preliminary hearing. Do something, you can’t expose your students like this,” the bench said.

Prison no bar

Prison no bar

Mobile phones stuffed in shoe soles, scalpel sewn into coat sleeves, drugs injected into tennis balls — these are just a few of the tricks jailbirds employ to smuggle contraband into India’s prisons.The Hinduinvestigates the mystery of India’s porous prisons where incarceration and connectivity seem to go together

In February 2014, a real estate developer made his way nervously to the prison ward of Mumbai’s St. George’s Hospital. He had recently bagged a Slum Rehabilitation Authority project, a lucrative business opportunity in one of the world’s most expensive housing markets.

For over a month, he had been getting threatening phone calls from the “underworld”. They ordered him to pay a hefty extortion amount or stop work on the project. When he refused to pay heed, a henchman turned up at his doorstep. The builder was forced to accompany him to the hospital. Awaiting him in the prison ward, in perfect good health, was Ravi Mallesh Bora alias D.K. Rao, a top aide of gangster Rajendra Nikhalje alias Chhota Rajan.

Three years later, in 2017, the builder finally approached the Mumbai Crime Branch. Its Crime Investigation Unit found that Rao had been comfortably running his extortion racket from Taloja Central Jail in Navi Mumbai, where he had been lodged for years. He had also been in direct touch with his boss Rajan, who was giving him instructions and seeking regular updates on the dhandha(business).

This revelation of the prison cell serving as Rao’s ‘office’, however, wasn’t an unexpected one. In 2015, a surprise check of Rao’s cell at Taloja had unearthed three mobile phones. The call records showed he had made hundreds of calls over the last three months, many of them to international numbers. The builder’s complaint in 2017 only further confirmed what the police already knew: prison is not even a speed bump for criminal elements who know their way around.

But it isn’t only established international criminal syndicates such as Rajan’s that run their operations from inside prisons. Local gangsters do it too. The name Uday Pathak, though not as widely known as Chhota Rajan or Dawood Ibrahim, still strikes fear in northern Mumbai’s Kurar and surrounding areas.

Turf control

In June 2011, Pathak and his gang kidnapped four men of a rival gang to avenge a petty insult. They took them to a forest area near Kurar, tortured and mutilated them, and finally burned their bodies. Pathak was arrested and was undergoing trial when he learned that some local toughs were trying to take over his area. He arranged for mobile phones and relayed instructions to his friends on the outside to make it known that he was still a force to reckon with. This was in mid-2015.

So, a few months later, in November 2015, a gunman walked up to a construction site in Kurar, fired a single round, dropped four pieces of paper on the ground and fled the scene. One of the notes had the name Uday Pathak scribbled on it, with a demand for money. The other three had the names of local political figures and businessmen, indicating that they too could be Pathak’s targets.

Other examples of hit jobs being ordered from prison include those of Yusuf Suleiman Kadri alias Yusuf Bachkana, also a Chhota Rajan aide, who, in 2013, ordered a hit on a Mumbai builder for refusing to pay extortion money; and Prashant Rao, an aide of gangster Yusuf Lakdawala, who instructed three of his henchmen to kill a businessman for the same reason in November 2016. Bachkana was then lodged in Hindalga Central Jail in Belgaum, while Rao was in Nashik Central Jail. Luckily, the targets in both the cases survived the attempts on their lives.

Clearly, these gangsters wouldn’t have been able to order hit jobs and communicate with their associates unless they had access to mobile phones — an access that is illegal. So how did they manage to get their hands on one?

In the sprawling 212-acre complex of Chennai’s Puzhal Central Prison, undertrials were being lined up for security check at the gate. Under the watchful eyes of the warders, they walked through the scanning machines one by one.

A prisoner who passed through the metal detector without triggering an alert caught the guards’ attention. There was something unusual about his gait. Suspecting foul play, prison officials searched him. They found nothing on his body. A careful examination of his footwear revealed that one of the shoes had been customised to accommodate mobile phone components. He had cut open the grooves in the sole to fix a handset, battery, and charger. He had been trying to walk without giving putting too much weight on one of the shoes, the one with the mobile phone parts. This ended up arousing suspicion and led to the exposé.

This is just one of several options used by prisoners to smuggle prohibited articles into prison. Despite thorough frisking, round-the-clock security, watch towers, and an extensive CCTV network, inmates sneak in contraband at will.

But it’s not only phones that are sneaked in. A 21-year-old ex-inmate who spent over six months in Delhi’s Rohini district jail in 2017 recalls how “everything that’s small in size” was smuggled inside. “Be it drugs in the form of powder or pills, mobile phones, or pocket knives.”

Three layers of checking

Sitting in his East Delhi home, the undertrial, who was in jail on charges of rash driving and attempt to commit culpable homicide, shares a story about how a fellow inmate managed to take a scalpel into Rohini prison.

“He is not a noted criminal,” he says, refusing to take names. “But he has been in and out of prison several times. All the warders knew him personally. Now, anyone who comes to the prison goes through three layers of checking before they meet the prisoner. But often, if a lawyer has been visiting regularly, he can get in without a thorough check,” he says. “You have to understand that there’s a nexus at play here.”

He said that in this particular case, the advocate had concealed the scalpel on the inside of the right arm of his black coat, after making an incision in the cloth. When he reached the room where the prisoner was waiting for him, he told the warder that he needed the prisoner to sign a document. “The prisoner signalled to the warder to let him sign in person instead of the document being carried to him by the jail staff. The warder agreed. The prisoner and the lawyer met and ‘shook hands’. And the scalpel passed from the lawyer to his client.

“The warder knew what was going on,” claims the young undertrial out on bail, adding, “They play a major role in the movement of contraband into and within the prison. Parents, relatives and other visitors can also transfer contraband like the lawyer did, provided they have connections.”

But the smuggling of contraband into jail premises doesn’t necessarily have to be through the main gate. Court meetings are a popular rendezvous used to transfer drugs and phones to prison inmates. If that proves too tough to manage, you could simply chuck stuff into the prison. If you have a good arm, you can fit whatever it is into a tennis ball and throw it, like a fielder at deep fine leg hurling the ball to the wicket-keeper.

“Some prison walls are accessible from the road,” points out Ajay Kashyap, Director-General of Tihar jail. “For instance, one of the boundary walls of Rohini jail is close to a flyover. Often, tennis or Cosco balls are recovered from the prison backyard. We have found them filled with a note or small articles,” says Kashyap, adding that if a prisoner is found with such balls, he is immediately punished. He either has some of his perks — such as what he can buy from the canteen — reduced, or is denied meetings with his family.

A.G. Maurya, former Deputy-Inspector General (DIG) of Prisons, Tamil Nadu, echoes Kashyap’s point that contraband is often thrown into the prison campus.

“Puzhal Central Prison is a huge campus. It has deserted places full of thick vegetation, where construction materials have been dumped, and even some unused buildings. When the prisoners go to the court for remand extension every 15 days, or meet visitors at the prison, they fix on a date and time when their contact will throw the parcel containing mobile phones, cigarettes or drugs. They even co-ordinate this using mobile phones already smuggled into the prison,” says Maurya, adding that inmates have full knowledge of the prison topography and the places that are beyond the reach of surveillance. “Sometimes they even pick up a parcel after a few days. The guards can’t patrol the whole campus all the time. A few places are not visible to the armed guards on watch towers.”

Lucrative barters

But why do inmates resort to such smuggling knowing full well that they will spend more time in jail if caught? Is it primarily to run their criminal activities, as in the case of the Rajan gang members? Is it to protect themselves? Or is it just addiction — either to mobile phones or drugs? Prison officials say that money is the big driver.

A cigarette that retails for Rs. 10 in the outside world is worth 10 times more inside the prison. “It is the addiction of other inmates to tobacco that makes some prisoners take the risk of smuggling. They get to make at least 10 times the money they invest in smuggling these substances. The income earned is paid to the families outside. This is a working revenue model,” says an official from Puzhal prison.

Prisons also tend to have a vibrant barter trade. An inmate might offer a pack of beedis in exchange for being able to make a phone call to his family. Another will offer WhatsApp on his phone for an hour in exchange of drugs. Sometimes, however, the motivation could be as simple as wanting to take a selfie.

In March this year, the administration of Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar district went into a tizzy after a rather unremarkable selfie went viral. The photograph showed three young men trying to squeeze into the frame against a dimly lit background.

One of the three men in the photograph, Vijay Choudhary, was an undertrial at the time, lodged in the district jail on charges of attempt to murder. The other two had murder charges against them. While the selfie has sparked an official probe, jail officials believe the mobile phone was thrown into the jail from outside the boundary wall, which is close to a densely populated area, by another undertrial who was out on bail.

Back in February, in an almost identical incident, an undertrial lodged in Basti district jail posted a selfie with two murder convicts. In this case, too, a probe has been ordered. Officials suspect the inmates could have received the mobile phone from an outsider during visiting hours. The role of the guards is also being investigated.

On March 15, Tamil Nadu’s Prison Department informed a Division Bench of the Madras High Court that it had brought down the number of illegal mobile phones and SIM cards recovered from the State’s prisons from 836 and 646, respectively, in 2013 to 288 and 209 in 2017. On hearing the statistic, Justice V. Parthiban asked, “Fine that you have seized these many cell phones and SIM cards, but how did they get into the prisons in the first place? Is it because of laxity or connivance of the officials?”

Well, prison officials from five States — Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Delhi and West Bengal — point to three factors as primarily responsible for the rampant smuggling of prohibited articles into prisons: corruption and laxity among jail officials, lack of an adequate number of guards, and overcrowding of the jails.

P.K. Mishra, Inspector General of Prisons, Uttar Pradesh, candidly says that lapses take place “only because of human error, either through negligence or corruption.”

Manpower crunch

An official with a Mumbai prison says that in a jail, which is a world unto itself, a well placed currency note here and there can go a long way in ensuring a comfortable life, be it for undertrials or convicts. Rao, for instance, was in prison to serve a sentence in an extortion case. But thanks to mobile phone access, he could spend his jail time running Rajan’s extortion racket.

“Manpower is also an important factor,” says the official who did not wish to be named. “While there are several vacant posts in the Prisons Department, almost all the prisons in Maharashtra are filled beyond capacity. Managing such a large number of prisoners is not always possible. Those with the means to bribe prison guards waste no time in doing so, and they reach a tacit understanding. The prisoner also ensures his activities remain under the radar so that the guards do not get into trouble. As for the guards, they do everything from turning a blind eye to actively helping the smugglers.”

Overcrowding and understaffing are definitely critical issues in Uttar Pradesh. The State has 70 jails. Their total sanctioned capacity is 58,000. But the actual number of inmates is almost double that. At the same time, as against the required staff strength of at least 9,000 warders, the State has only 4,000. With such mismatched numbers, combating smuggling was never going to be easy.

Smuggling a prohibited article into a prison is a punishable offence under Section 42 of The Prisons Act, 1894. The list of prohibited articles is long and varied: apart from mobile phones, it includes drugs, intoxicants, alcoholic drinks, smoking pipes, wireless sets, metal, expensive jewellery, arms and ammunition, explosive materials, and even items as innocuous as a rope or a pen nib.

But if the use of mobile phones in prison is both illegal and widespread, it raises an obvious logistical question: how do these inmates charge their phones, that too without getting caught?

Duraisamy, who retired as DIG of Prisons a couple of years ago, says there are only two possibilities: either the jail warders help the inmates for a fee or the prisoners charge the phones in their cells. “Since the cells now have lights and fans, some prisoners know the technique of pulling out live wires and using them for charging the phone. Once the charging is done, they manoeuvre the wires back to their original position.”

To the question of how many of the contraband seizures have resulted in convictions, prison officials say that on most occasions the prisoners plead ignorance even when the seizures are made in their own cells. So such seizures would have to be treated as abandoned articles until technical evidence proves otherwise.

So what’s the best remedy? As if to underscore Tamil Nadu’s statistics, Mishra says that over the years, smuggling cases have been reduced substantially by checking instances of human error. This has been done through two means — punishment and posting.

In Uttar Pradesh, officers found incorrigible were ordered compulsory retirement or even terminated from service, while more competent officers with a higher level of integrity were posted in more sensitive jails, says Mishra. The State is also looking at a technological fix. On April 5, it sanctioned additional CCTVs in 43 jails across the State, at a cost of Rs. 2.4 crore.

Will legislation help?

West Bengal, which has one of the highest prison occupancy rates in the country (102.9% at the end of 2015), is so vexed with the problem of mobile phones being smuggled into prison that it is considering a special legislation to tackle the problem.

A senior officer with the West Bengal Correctional Homes administration said that during the 22 months that he was in charge, about 1,000 unauthorised mobile phones were recovered from prison inmates. On an average, 600-700 mobile phones are seized every year from the State’s prisons.

So, West Bengal is considering an amendment to The West Bengal Correctional Services Act, 1992, making the possession of mobile phone by an inmate a punishable act. The amendment has provisions mandating additional jail term for inmates found in possession of mobile phones.

Maharashtra Prisons Department uses a different strategy — cultivating its own informants among the prisoners, who pass on timely information. The informants, however, lead a highly risky life as the slightest suspicion can result in death in the middle of the night.

The general wisdom among prison administrators seems to be that even with CCTV cameras, informers, rigorous checks, and upright warders, smuggling cannot be controlled beyond a point given the sheer number of inmates in Indian prisons. Tihar’s top boss Kashyap sums it up, “Where there is human involvement, 100% perfection is not possible.”

Bharathiar University Vice-Chancellor Caught Taking Bribe, Arrested

Vigilance officials laid a trap after an assistant professor complained that the vice-chancellor had demanded a bribe from him

CHENNAI: The vice-chancellor of Bharathiar University in Coimbatore, Dr A Ganapathi, has been arrested after he was caught taking a bribe for regularising the service of an assistant professor who is on probation. The arrest was made by officials from the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption after the assistant professor approached them. “A trap was laid to catch the vice-chancellor red handed after Suresh, an assistant professor in the Chemistry department, complained of a demand for bribe for securing his position,” a senior officer told NDTV.
“The vice-chancellor demanded Rs. 30 lakh as bribe. He received a token of Rs. 1 lakh in cash and the balance as post-dated signed cheques, the payee column left blank,” an officer said. The appointment of vice-chancellors in the state had come under the scanner over the last several years. Academicians and activists have alleged that political clout and money power have influenced the appointments, leading to a decline in standards and increase in corrupt practices at universities.
Recently, during his tenure as Tamil Nadu Governor, Vidyasagar Rao rejected the names proposed by a search panel for the appointment of vice-chancellor to Anna University in Chennai. Mr Rao had appointed a committee headed by former Chief Justice of India Justice RM Lodha to recommend suitable names for the post.

The vice-chancellor who was arrested today earlier headed the biotechnology department at Bharathidasan University. He took charge as vice-chancellor of Bharathiar University in 2016. Last year, he was booked under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Act, 2015 after a Dalit research scholar had complained that he deliberately scuttled her chances of becoming an associate professor.

Supreme Court website hacked

Supreme Court website hacked

The website, which had turned “non-functional” from 11.35 a.m., became accessible only at around 7.50 p.m.

The Supreme Court website was hacked a little before noon on April 19, an official of the Electronics and IT Ministry said. The official said the Supreme Court had its independent systems and these were not managed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), which comes under the Ministry. “CERT-In [the cyber security arm of the government] has advised the Supreme Court official on the steps to restore the website,” the official said. It could not be confirmed who hacked the website.

PTI adds:

The website, which had turned “non-functional” from 11.35 a.m. IST, became accessible only at around 7.50 p.m.

One of the screen shots of the top court web page circulating on some social media sites showed signs left by some Brazilian hackers who may have targeted it. An image of cannabis leaves, with a message saying “hackeado por HighTech Brazil HacTeam”, could be seen.

Later in the day, when attempts to reach the website at supremecourtofindia.nic.in was made, the result read: “site under maintenance“.

The website had gone down, hours after a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra delivered a hard-hitting judgement relating to the death of special CBI Judge B H Loya, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case.

The journalists who were waiting for the verdict to be uploaded on the site made frantic queries with the concerned authorities about the suspected hacking.

While the officials remained non-committal about the hacking and as the time was ticking away, a press note was issued from the apex court registry that while the website remained non-functional. The registry sent soft copies of the judgement to the media in view of the “unavoidable circumstances” due to non-functioning of the website.

The registry said that the official website stopped fun

ctioning “due to some technical snag”. Normally, the orders of the day are uploaded on the site every evening.

The judgement was, however, was uploaded on the internal server of the apex court at 1.15 pm, in public domain, it said, but the scribes were informed about the availability of the judgement an hour after the normal court hours, that is 4 pm.

“Queries were received in the registry regarding the time by which the judgement could be accessed from the official website. The technical team was continuously on the job to rectify the official website page online.

“As the process of restoring the official website would have taken some more time, it was decided to dispense soft copy of the judgement to the media persons through the undersigned. The copying branch of the Supreme Court was also instructed to provide copies of the judgement to anyone making request in that behalf.

“These steps have been taken by the Supreme Court Registry in view of the unavoidable circumstances due to non-functioning of the official website,” it said.

Salma Khan: First transwoman on Lok Adalat panel

Salma Khan: First transwoman on Lok Adalat panel

A postgraduate with a Masters in Social Work, 40-year-old Salma Khan was chosen from among 16 transgender candidates, and she will attend the panel’s second hearing on April 22.

On February 10, Salma Khan was appointed a panel member for Lok Adalat at the Mumbai District Suburban Legal Services Authority (DLSA), the first transgender woman in Mumbai to do so. She joined a league of transwomen who have broken social barriers, like Joyita Mondal, a judge from West Bengal, and Amruta Alpesh, an advocacy officer in Chattisgarh. A postgraduate with a Masters in Social Work, 40-year-old Khan was chosen from among 16 transgender candidates, and she will attend the panel’s second hearing on April 22.

Khan is among three panelists in Court Number 1 at the Lok Adalat, which is an alternate dispute redressal system in Bandra, mostly dealing with cases of loan defaulters and other banking matters. As per the National Legal Services Authority, at the district level, each bench of the Lok Adalat should comprise a sitting or retired judicial officer, a member from the legal profession and a social worker engaged in the upliftment of weaker sections. Having worked with transpeople since 1986, Khan is currently the president of Kinnar Maa Samajik Sanstha Trust, which she founded in 2014.

“Despite, the Supreme Court judgment in 2014 recognising the rights of transgender persons, social change has not been swift for the community and we are still vulnerable. Despite educational qualifications, many who identify as transgender do not find it easy to find employment. My appointment on the Lok Adalat panel should help others in accessing such spaces to increase our representation,” says Khan.

Recalling her first hearing in February, Khan says while her co-panelists and others supported her, she also got a few curious glances. “When I sat on the panel, some people stared at me in confusion but most were happy to see me there. My co-panelists and others made me feel comfortable. I am looking forward to the second hearing this month,” said Khan. From her work with various organisations including The Humsafar Trust, to her time counseling transgender youth at Sion Hospital, Khan says she has seen many struggle to find acceptance among people despite being qualified.

“In a recent case, a transgender woman in Mumbai got a job at a call centre but when they learnt her identity, they told her they cannot hire her. I hope the government can pave the way by giving jobs for transgender persons so that other private offices can also not discriminate,” she says. Khan, who grew up in Mumbai — her father worked in the RTO and her mother was a housewife — says she gained higher education with her mother’s support. She aims to pursue a doctorate in law, but her next focus is to work towards the rehabilitation of older people in the community.

“I have been petitioning the state government to provide homes for aged hijras, with health support and safety. There are shelter homes for women but older members of the community have nowhere to go. These are aspects that nobody has paid attention to and I hope that the government will soon intervene with a policy,” says Khan. She says she also hopes that with the community’s increased representation in legal spaces, there can be more policy changes for them.

“When the Indian society sees us, all they see are singing, clapping hijras who beg or go door-to-door to bless families. It has been seventy years since Independence, but no one has thought about uplifting our community. Give us scholarships, education, jobs and pensions so that we too, can lead dignified lives. We are what we are today because of the negligence of this society. The past is the past, and that is fine. But we don’t want our future generations to suffer as we did. We do not demand your pity, we only want our rights,” says Salma.
