ABSTRACT In this article, I consider how the Indian state approaches the relationship between India’s development and the Indian diaspora by analysing the discourse that emerges from a key Indian government report. I argue that the Indian state uses the idea of development to support the way it governs Indians abroad. At the same time, the Indian state uses its relationship with Indians abroad to support particular policies being pursued in the name of India’s development. These policies require economic “liberalization”, including by freeing up the movement of capital and reducing rates of corporate taxation. While invoking Indians abroad to shape the governance of Indians inside of India appears counterintuitive, I argue that it reflects the way that particular notions of “overseas Indians” and “development” are being simultaneously shaped by the Indian state, and the way that the authority of the Indian state to pursue particular “development policies” is being grounded.
在本文中,我通过分析一份重要的印度政府报告中出现的话语,来考虑印度政府如何处理印度发展与印度侨民之间的关系。我认为印度政府用发展的理念来支持它管理海外印度人的方式。与此同时,印度政府利用其与海外印度人的关系,支持以印度发展的名义推行的特定政策。这些政策要求经济“自由化”,包括放开资本流动和降低企业税率。虽然援引海外印度人来塑造印度国内印度人的治理似乎有悖直觉,但我认为,这反映了印度政府同时塑造“海外印度人”和“发展”的特定概念的方式,以及印度政府追求特定“发展政策”的权威的方式。

ABSTRACT The performance of obligations under a contract may be hindered by unexpected supervening events, leading to contractual uncertainties. The doctrine of frustration paves the way for a just consequence of such an unfortunate event, which has happened without any fault of the contracting parties. The doctrine fills the void in a contract regarding supervening events, based on principles of fairness and equity. Considering the large implications on the obligatory and binding nature of a valid contract, it becomes important to analyse the factors that guide the courts to determine its application. Unlike common law, the Indian Contract law explicitly incorporates the doctrine of frustration under section 56 of the Contract Act. However, the evolution of this doctrine in India has been greatly influenced by English law. This paper attempts to restate the law on the doctrine of frustration as applicable in India.
合同义务的履行可能会受到意外监督事件的阻碍,从而导致合同的不确定性。挫折学说为这种不幸事件的公正后果铺平了道路,这种不幸事件的发生没有任何缔约各方的过错。这一原则填补了合同中关于监督事件的空白,基于公平和公正的原则。考虑到对有效合同的强制性和约束性的重大影响,分析指导法院确定其适用的因素就变得很重要。与普通法不同,印度合同法明确纳入了《合同法》第56条中的挫折原则。然而,这一学说在印度的演变受到英国法律的极大影响。本文试图重申挫折原则的法律适用于印度。

ABSTRACT Due to a long history of conflict in the state of J&K, children have fallen prey to the defective law and order machinery. Through this essay, the author aims to critically study the J&K Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2013 (‘J&K JJ Act, 2013ʹ). Part I analyses the shortcomings in the text of the law itself. Part II focuses on the implementation of the law on the ground. Due to the non-implementation of the Juvenile Justice System, children have become victims of illegal detentions in jails, torture, physical and mental ailments. Lastly, Part III makes a comparison between the State law and the Central law on the matter. Considering the compelling arguments drawn in Part II and III of the essay, the conclusion points out the need for proper implementation of the JJ Act, 2013 and its remodelling, in certain matters, on the Central legislation.
由于查谟克什米尔邦长期的冲突,儿童成为有缺陷的法律和秩序机制的牺牲品。通过本文,作者旨在批判性地研究2013年J&K少年司法(照顾和保护儿童)法案(' J&K JJ法案,2013年)。第一部分分析了法律文本本身的不足。第二部分侧重于法律在实地的实施。由于少年司法制度的不执行,儿童成为监狱非法拘留、酷刑和身心疾病的受害者。最后,第三部分对国家法律和中央法律在这一问题上进行了比较。考虑到本文第二部分和第三部分中提出的令人信服的论点,结论指出需要适当实施2013年JJ法案及其在某些事项上对中央立法的重塑。

The Indian Supreme Court’s identity crisis: a constitutional court or a court of appeals? 印度最高法院的身份危机:是宪法法院还是上诉法院?

ABSTRACT This article presents an empirical analysis of the Supreme Court’s discretionary appellate jurisdiction (triggered by a “special leave petition” or “SLP”). Based on an analysis of 1100 randomly selected civil SLP cases spread over 11 years, it argues that its expansive SLP docket has cannibalized the Court’s role as an effective constitutional court. It reveals that the admissibility of special leave petitions has a statistically significant relationship with the presence of a “senior advocate” during the admissions hearing. The article emphasizes the need for an institutional separation of the appellate and constitutional functions of the Supreme Court: either as two separate courts or as two separate divisions within a single Supreme Court. It also suggests reducing or eliminating the docket-distorting role of senior advocates – either by taking admission decisions on civil SLPs largely based on written briefs or barring senior advocates from appearing in oral admission hearings for civil SLPs.
摘要本文对最高法院的自由裁量上诉管辖权(由“特别许可请愿书”或“SLP”触发)进行实证分析。根据对11年来随机选择的1100起民事SLP案件的分析,它认为其庞大的SLP案件已经蚕食了法院作为一个有效的宪法法院的角色。结果表明,特殊休假申请的可接受性与招生听证会上“高级辩护人”的存在有统计学意义的关系。该条强调需要在体制上把最高法院的上诉职能和宪法职能分开:要么作为两个独立的法院,要么作为一个最高法院内的两个独立部门。它还建议减少或消除高级律师扭曲案件摘要的作用——要么在很大程度上根据书面摘要作出民事特殊案件的录取决定,要么禁止高级律师出席民事特殊案件的口头录取听证会。

ABSTRACT The paper examines regulatory mechanisms for combating judicial corruption and misconduct in India. It aims at a critical analysis of the regulatory mechanisms for both subordinate and higher courts. The study, inter alia, concludes that the regulatory mechanisms for subordinate courts lack conceptual clarity, suffer role ambiguity, and are bereft of functional autonomy; the powers and functions of these mechanisms are not clearly prescribed, and the procedures concerning complaints, inquiries and disciplinary actions are ad hoc. The mechanisms for subordinate courts are opaque, inaccessible, slow and ineffective. The paper also argues that the “in-house procedure” in the higher judiciary is inadequate, opaque, informal and judge-centric; it terms the “removal procedure” as rigid and ineffective. This paper recommends structural, organizational and functional reforms to strengthen regulatory mechanisms for the subordinate judiciary. For the higher judiciary, it proposes a constitutional body having adequate representation from a broad spectrum of the population.
本文考察了印度打击司法腐败和不当行为的监管机制。它旨在对下级和上级法院的监管机制进行批判性分析。除其他外,该研究的结论是,下级法院的监管机制缺乏概念上的明确性,遭受角色模糊,并丧失职能自主权;这些机制的权力和职能没有明确规定,有关投诉、调查和纪律行动的程序是特设的。下级法院的机制不透明、难以接近、缓慢和无效。本文还认为,高等司法机构的“内部程序”不充分、不透明、非正式和以法官为中心;它称“移除程序”是僵化和无效的。本文建议进行结构、组织和职能改革,以加强下级司法机构的监管机制。对于高级司法机构,它建议设立一个宪法机构,在广泛的人口中有充分的代表。

ABSTRACT In recent years, we have seen a rise in digital technology. In response to the tempestuous nature of technology and its manifold “threats”, the State has adopted fresh armoury. It has inducted mass surveillance programmes, which collect information on every citizen. In India, these measures were adopted in 2007. India’s bulk phone metadata collection programme, equivalent to the National Security Agency is called the Central Monitoring System. Additionally, India has created the Crime and Criminal Tracking and Network System, a nation-wide reposity of criminal data. This paper delves into a constitutional analysis of the validity of these programmes by identifying the key constitutional concerns and reviewing whether these programmes satisfy the test of proportionality. Finally, this paper critiques the ramifications of these measures on democracy. It argues that these measures stifle the exchange of information in the public sphere and reduce public space for reasoning.
近年来,我们看到了数字技术的兴起。为了应对技术的狂暴性质及其多方面的“威胁”,国家采用了新的武器。它引入了大规模监视计划,收集每个公民的信息。印度在2007年采取了这些措施。印度的大规模电话元数据收集项目被称为“中央监控系统”,相当于美国国家安全局。此外,印度还建立了犯罪和犯罪跟踪和网络系统,这是一个全国性的犯罪数据存储系统。本文通过确定关键的宪法问题并审查这些方案是否满足相称性的检验,深入研究了这些方案有效性的宪法分析。最后,本文批评了这些措施对民主的影响。它认为,这些措施扼杀了公共领域的信息交流,减少了进行推理的公共空间。

Abrogation of Article 370: can the president act without the recommendation of the constituent assembly? 废除第370条:总统可以不经制宪会议的建议行事吗?
Pub Date : 2019-09-02 DOI: 10.1080/24730580.2019.1700592

ABSTRACT Article 370 of the Constitution of India 1950, as it stood till recently, restricted the Parliament’s legislative powers over the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir (“J&K”). The provision, which was recently abrogated was under challenge even prior to that. In 2018, a challenge to its constitutionality was mounted on the ground that it was meant to be a temporary arrangement. In this paper, it is argued that the attempts to abrogate the provision without the recommendation of a constituent assembly for J&K is constitutionally suspect. This has both textual and normative support. Textually, the asymmetrical federal arrangement embodied in Article 370 as well as the procedural limitations mean that it is not open to the Union to abrogate it unilaterally. Normatively too, a temporary provision such as Article 370 may only be abrogated if its detractors can garner sufficient political support in the form of a constituent assembly, which has not yet been achieved.
1950年颁布的印度宪法第370条限制了议会对前查谟和克什米尔邦(“J&K”)的立法权。这项最近被废除的规定甚至在此之前就受到了质疑。2018年,有人对其合宪性提出质疑,理由是这是一项临时安排。在本文中,有人认为,在没有J&K制宪会议建议的情况下废除该条款的企图在宪法上是可疑的。这既有文本支持,也有规范支持。在文本上,第370条所体现的不对称的联邦安排以及程序限制意味着欧盟不能单方面废除它。在规范方面,诸如第370条这样的临时规定只有在其批评者能够以制宪会议的形式获得足够的政治支持时才可以废除,而这种支持尚未实现。

Contractual unfairness: another way of skinning the cat 契约不公平:另一种剥猫皮的方式

ABSTRACT In Pioneer Urban Land and Infrastructure Ltd. v Govindan Raghavan [2019] 5 SCC 725, the Supreme Court of India excised an onerous term in a housing construction contract as “wholly one-sided, unfair and unreasonable”. This note examines the doctrinal basis for the exercise of such power. Common law courts have, for long, sought to relieve the weaker party to a bargain against contractual unfairness, but locating the basis of this power has proved elusive. The traditional categories of duress (or coercion) and undue influence have been of limited help here. And since scholarly and judicial treatment alike have read s 16 of the Indian Contract Act as dealing with undue influence, it has been passed over in debates on unfairness. However, it is argued that a closer study of the legislative design of s 16 reveals that it was meant by Mackenzie Chalmers (the architect of the 1899 amendment) to incorporate a “general principle” of contractual fairness which empowered courts to determine whether a transaction was “fair and reasonable”.
在先锋城市土地和基础设施有限公司诉Govindan Raghavan [2019] 5 SCC 725案中,印度最高法院删除了房屋建筑合同中的一个繁重条款,称其为“完全片面,不公平和不合理”。本文将探讨行使这种权力的理论基础。长期以来,普通法法院一直寻求在合同不公平的情况下减轻交易中的弱势一方,但事实证明,这种权力的基础是难以捉摸的。传统的胁迫(或胁迫)和不当影响的分类在这里的帮助有限。由于学术界和司法学界都将《印度合同法》第16条解读为处理不当影响,因此在关于不公平的辩论中,它被忽略了。然而,有人认为,对第16条立法设计的更仔细研究表明,Mackenzie Chalmers(1899年修正案的设计者)的意思是将合同公平的“一般原则”纳入其中,该原则授权法院确定交易是否“公平合理”。

ABSTRACT Iterations of Law is a valuable resource on the legal history of colonial India. The essays in this edited volume uncover the lived experience of law in the tradition of social history. The contributors discuss and rework ideas of legal pluralism, law’s violence, and the legacy of colonial law. Their embrace of legal archives other than the judgment, such as the stamp paper, and political and bureaucratic speeches is a welcome methodological intervention in the field. This review examines the volume’s contribution to two persistent debates in legal history: the perceived continuity of the colonial law and legal system, and the agency of the colonial subject vis-à-vis law. Read this way, the contributions emphasise several points of contact between subject and government that allowed the consolidation and legitimisation of colonial rule. Though greater engagement with law and a South Asian emphasis would have added much value, the review concludes that the volume is essential reading for legal historians as well as scholars analysing the conditions of authority and legitimacy of law.
《法律的迭代》是研究殖民地印度法律史的宝贵资源。文章在这个编辑的卷揭示了生活经验的法律在社会历史的传统。作者讨论并重新构思了法律多元主义、法律的暴力和殖民法的遗产。他们对判决以外的法律档案(如邮票纸)以及政治和官僚演讲的接受,是该领域一种受欢迎的方法论干预。本评论审查了该卷对法律史上两个持久辩论的贡献:殖民地法律和法律制度的感知连续性,以及殖民地主体对-à-vis法律的代理。这样看,这些贡献强调了臣民和政府之间的几个接触点,这些接触点使得殖民统治得以巩固和合法化。虽然更多地接触法律和强调南亚会增加很多价值,但评论得出的结论是,对于法律史学家以及分析法律权威和合法性条件的学者来说,这本书是必不可少的读物。

The essays in this edited volume uncover the lived experience of law in the tradition of social history. The contributors discuss and rework ideas of legal pluralism, law’s violence, and the legacy of colonial law. Their embrace of legal archives other than the judgment, such as the stamp paper, and political and bureaucratic speeches is a welcome methodological intervention in the field. This review examines the volume’s contribution to two persistent debates in legal history: the perceived continuity of the colonial law and legal system, and the agency of the colonial subject vis-à-vis law.
