ABSTRACT Primary legislation on Indian citizenship – particularly the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 – has recently attracted a great deal of attention. However, secondary legislation, and administrative policies and practices, which form the backbone of citizenship administration in India, have mostly escaped scholarly and public attention. This is concerning since the lawfulness of some of these critical policies and secondary legislation is highly questionable. Against this background, we survey and analyse the main policies and secondary legislation that constitute India’s citizenship administration. We then argue that despite government’s efforts to argue for immunity from judicial review, and some judicial statements characterizing administrative discretion in this area as “absolute and unfettered”, judicial review of citizenship administration is very much available. Finally, we argue that some of the most important policies and rules relating to citizenship administration in India breach public law norms.
最近,关于印度公民身份的主要立法,特别是《2019年公民身份(修正案)法》,引起了人们的广泛关注。然而,二级立法、行政政策和实践构成了印度公民管理的支柱,大多没有受到学术界和公众的关注。这是令人担忧的,因为其中一些关键政策和次级立法的合法性非常值得怀疑。在此背景下,我们调查和分析了构成印度公民管理的主要政策和次级立法。因此,我们认为,尽管政府努力主张免于司法审查,而且一些司法声明将这方面的行政自由裁量权定性为"绝对和不受约束的",但对公民身份行政的司法审查是非常可行的。最后,我们认为印度一些与公民身份管理有关的最重要的政策和规则违反了公法规范。

The “positive law” of impossibility in the Indian Contract Act 《印度合同法》中不可能的“成文法”

ABSTRACT The law of impossibility contained in Section 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 is a slight oddity in the common law world as it does not make any mention of the parties’ intention. While Indian courts have subordinated it to the intent of the parties, they have also insisted that it is a “positive law” that is unconcerned with the terms of the contract, which have been relegated, at least superficially, to Section 32 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 that only imperfectly deals with the vast terrain of impossibility. It is argued that the contradictory stance is, in part, the result of an unwarranted importance being attached to theEnglish debates surrounding the juristic bases of the law of frustration. It is also argued that the jurisprudence would benefit from delinking the terms of the contract, specifically the terms that do not constitute conditions precedent, from Section 32.
1872年《印度合同法》第56条所载的不可能性法在普通法世界中有点奇怪,因为它没有提及当事人的意图。虽然印度法院将其从属于当事人的意图,但他们也坚持认为,这是一部与合同条款无关的“实证法”,合同条款至少在表面上被降级为1872年《印度合同法》第32条,该条款只是不完美地处理了大量不可能的情况。有人认为,这种矛盾的立场在一定程度上是由于人们过分重视围绕挫折法的法律基础展开的英国辩论。也有人认为,将合同条款,特别是不构成先决条件的条款与第32条分开,将有利于法理学。

ABSTRACT The authors discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in Saurav Yadav v State of Uttar Pradesh, which relates to reservation for women candidates in public offices under Articles 15(3) and 16(1) of the Constitution of India. The question which arose for consideration was whether candidates belonging to Other Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, or Scheduled Tribes categories could be accommodated to the open category on securing the cut-off marks prescribed for candidates in the open category – which was answered in the affirmative. We first analyse the position of law as it stood prior to the decision. Then, we go on to analyse the judgement in detail, including an intersectional analysis from the perspective of “women” as a class. The authors also critique the judgement for its overemphasis on merit while resolving the dispute in question. Finally, the authors discuss the importance of providing relaxations and concessions to the reserved candidates.
作者讨论了最高法院在Saurav Yadav诉北方邦一案中的判决,该判决涉及根据印度宪法第15(3)条和第16(1)条保留女性候选人担任公职。引起审议的问题是,属于其他落后阶级、排名表种姓或排名表部落类别的候选人是否可以在确保为公开类别候选人规定的分数线的情况下被纳入公开类别- -对此的答复是肯定的。我们首先分析在该决定之前法律的立场。然后,我们对这一判断进行了详细的分析,包括从“女性”作为一个阶级的角度进行的交叉分析。作者还批评该判决在解决争议时过分强调优点。最后,作者讨论了为保留考生提供放松和让步的重要性。

Hourglass federalism in Nepal: the role of local government in post-conflict constitutions 尼泊尔的沙漏式联邦制:冲突后宪法中地方政府的角色

ABSTRACT Federalism is the centrepiece reform of Nepal’s 2015 post-conflict Constitution. However, the seven new provinces face considerable challenges as they seek to facilitate the redressal of socio-economic inequality and improve sensitivity to regional difference – historic drivers of conflict. Building on the concept of hourglass federalism to engage the discourse on decentralization in conflict-affected contexts, we highlight how Nepal’s constitutionally enshrined, autonomous third tier of local government may be better situated to work towards these ends. We argue that while the hourglass schematic has already delivered on some of the key aims of the new Constitution (like inclusion), several important challenges remain, including the decentralization of the political party system and economies of scale. Unless the initial inclusion dividend and increased responsiveness of government are consolidated, there is a risk that the state will be gradually recentralized (in practice), undermining the gains of the post-conflict constitution-making process.
联邦制是尼泊尔2015年冲突后宪法改革的核心内容。然而,七个新省面临着相当大的挑战,因为它们寻求促进纠正社会经济不平等和提高对地区差异的敏感性-冲突的历史驱动因素。在沙漏联邦制概念的基础上,在受冲突影响的背景下参与权力下放的讨论,我们强调尼泊尔宪法规定的自治的第三级地方政府如何更好地实现这些目标。我们认为,虽然沙漏原理图已经实现了新宪法的一些关键目标(如包容性),但仍存在一些重要挑战,包括政党制度的分散化和规模经济。除非最初的包容性红利和政府反应能力的增强得到巩固,否则国家将面临(在实践中)逐渐重新集中的风险,从而破坏冲突后制宪进程的成果。

Judicial review of central banks: an Indian perspective 中央银行的司法审查:一个印度人的视角

ABSTRACT Central banks are unique institutions of profound economic significance. Judicial review of central bank actions raises concerns regarding the appropriate zone of judicial deference. Over the last decade, the frequency of judicial review challenges before the Supreme Court of India involving the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) appears to have substantially increased. I attempt to contextualize this trend against the evolving nature of judicial deference towards the RBI. From 1960s to late 1990s, the Court was extremely deferential towards the RBI. With the turn of the century, several exogenous factors compelled the RBI to act beyond its uncontested traditional functions, affecting stakeholders beyond its immediate jurisdiction. This explains the increase in judicial review challenges involving the RBI since 2015. This trend also provides evidence of the eroding judicial deference towards the Central Bank at least on the regulatory (process) aspects, if not as much on the substantive economic policies themselves.
中央银行是具有深远经济意义的独特机构。对中央银行行为的司法审查引起了对司法服从的适当范围的关注。在过去十年中,印度最高法院涉及印度储备银行(“RBI”)的司法审查挑战的频率似乎大幅增加。我试图将这一趋势与对印度储备银行的司法服从的演变性质联系起来。从20世纪60年代到90年代末,法院对印度储备银行非常恭敬。随着世纪之交,一些外部因素迫使印度储备银行超越其无可争议的传统职能,影响其直接管辖范围以外的利益相关者。这解释了自2015年以来涉及印度储备银行的司法审查挑战的增加。这一趋势也提供了证据,证明至少在监管(程序)方面,即使在实质性经济政策本身方面,司法部门对央行的尊重正在减少。

POST-WAR CONSTITUTION-MAKING: insights from South Asia 战后宪法制定:来自南亚的见解
Pub Date : 2022-11-14 DOI: 10.1080/24730580.2022.2146276

ABSTRACT This paper explores the search for constitutional settlement in Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka. In recent decades in each of these states, constitutional change has been mooted as an at least partial solution to severe and sustained internal armed conflict. However, in each of them, change of a kind that responds effectively to the conflict has been, and continues to be, elusive. Inevitably, the trajectories of both the conflict and the responses to it are distinctive. Nevertheless, these cases have enough in common for collective insights to be drawn from them, which may also have relevance for conflict-affected constitutional initiatives elsewhere.
本文探讨了缅甸、尼泊尔和斯里兰卡的宪政解决之道。近几十年来,在这些国家中,修宪至少被认为是解决严重和持续的国内武装冲突的部分办法。然而,在每一个国家,对冲突作出有效反应的那种变化一直是而且继续是难以捉摸的。不可避免的是,冲突的轨迹和对冲突的反应都是不同的。然而,这些案例有足够的共同点,可以从中得出集体见解,这些见解也可能与其他地方受冲突影响的宪法倡议有关。

Sweeter carrots, same stick: transplanting leniency plus into Indian competition law 胡萝卜更甜,大棒也一样:在印度竞争法中移植宽容
Pub Date : 2022-10-27 DOI: 10.1080/24730580.2022.2140909

ABSTRACT As a modification on the general system of cartel leniency, leniency plus allows a cartelist who failed to secure complete immunity under the general leniency programme to obtain further reduction in sanctions in exchange of information regarding the operation of another anticompetitive agreement. Leniency plus originated in the US and has since been transplanted into various jurisdictions with a variety of modifications. Recently, the Indian government proposed the introduction of leniency plus into the Indian competition law framework with a view to to enhancing the efficiency of the Indian cartel leniency programme. This paper argues that the transplantation of leniency plus into the Indian competition regime might not yield the desired benefits, and might be counterproductive. It goes on to propose an increase in individual sanctions and introduction of clear guidelines as more apt remedies to help the Indian leniency regime.
作为对一般卡特尔宽大制度的一种修改,宽大加罚允许未能在一般宽大制度下获得完全豁免的卡特尔者通过交换有关另一反竞争协议运作的信息来进一步减轻制裁。宽大加刑起源于美国,此后被移植到不同的司法管辖区,并进行了各种修改。最近,印度政府提议在印度竞争法框架中引入宽大+,以提高印度卡特尔宽大计划的效率。本文认为,在印度的竞争制度中,“宽大加”的移植可能不会产生预期的好处,而且可能适得其反。报告还建议增加个人制裁,并引入明确的指导方针,作为帮助印度宽大处理制度的更合适的补救措施。

Inheritance rights of transgender persons in India 印度跨性别者的继承权
Pub Date : 2022-10-26 DOI: 10.1080/24730580.2022.2139584
Karan Gulati, Tushar Anand
ABSTRACT This paper studies the inheritance rights of transgender persons in India. It examines the legal framework for inheritance and provides an overview of all court decisions between 1950 and 2021 that mention the term transgender (and its analogous terms, i.e., aravani, kinner, etc.). Though the Indian Constitution bars discrimination based on sex or gender, inheritance laws do not envisage transgender persons or a change in gender identity. They are based on a binary notion of gender. individuals must choose between conforming to their assigned gender or not availing their rights. Moreover, successors are often difficult to identify as individuals may lack documentation, could not marry, or cannot prove adoption. While courts attempt to address these challenges, they leave it to their subjective satisfaction on when to secure the rights of transgender persons. These are important issues that must be addressed through changes in the law.
本文研究了印度变性人的继承权问题。它考察了遗产的法律框架,并概述了1950年至2021年间提到“跨性别者”一词(及其类似术语,如aravani、kinner等)的所有法院判决。尽管印度宪法禁止基于性或性别的歧视,但继承法并未设想跨性别者或性别认同的改变。它们是基于性别的二元概念。个人必须在遵从自己的性别或不利用自己的权利之间做出选择。此外,继承者往往难以确定,因为他们可能缺乏个人证明文件,无法结婚,或者无法证明收养。虽然法院试图解决这些挑战,但在何时保障跨性别者的权利方面,他们让自己主观满意。这些都是必须通过修改法律来解决的重要问题。

Between a rock and a hard place: the constitutional role of the Attorney-General in Sri Lanka 进退两难:斯里兰卡总检察长的宪法角色
Pub Date : 2022-09-02 DOI: 10.1080/24730580.2022.2129198

ABSTRACT The Attorney-General of Sri Lanka makes representations to the Supreme Court in fundamental rights applications. The constitution envisions the Attorney-General acting independently and impartially in this regard, in the character of an “institution protecting democracy” within a “guarantor branch”. However, the Attorney-General typically defends the respondents in all such fundamental rights cases. This is particularly true under article 35 of the constitution, where fundamental rights applications challenging official acts of the President must be instituted against the Attorney-General. This provision has long been interpreted as requiring the Attorney-General to defend these actions. A close examination of the whole constitutional scheme reveals, however, that no such requirement exists, and the Attorney-General has discretion on whether or not to defend any such action instituted against him. Adopting this approach would promote constitutional compliance by the executive branch, and has the potential to transform the landscape of constitutional practice in Sri Lanka.
斯里兰卡总检察长就基本权利申请向最高法院提出申诉。《宪法》设想总检察长在这方面以“保障部门”内的“保护民主的机构”的性质独立和公正地行事。但是,总检察长通常在所有这类基本权利案件中为被告辩护。根据《宪法》第35条尤其如此,其中必须向总检察长提出挑战总统官方行为的基本权利申请。这项规定长期以来被解释为要求司法部长为这些行动辩护。然而,对整个宪法制度的仔细审查表明,不存在这样的要求,总检察长有权决定是否为针对他的任何此类行动进行辩护。采取这种做法将促进行政部门遵守宪法,并有可能改变斯里兰卡宪法实践的格局。

ABSTRACT In determining whether a company is solvent or insolvent, two tests are generally used by the bankruptcy courts across all jurisdictions: the Commercial Cash Flow test and the Balance Sheet test. While enacting the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code in 2016, India has moved away from the traditional dual test approach followed by Indian courts under the Indian companies Act to a specific Cash Flow test. This paper discusses the conceptual basis of the two tests as evolved under insolvency laws of the United Kingdom and the United States, with a view to comparatively study the nascent Indian insolvency regime. The paper concludes that irrespective of the statutorily prescribed test, over the years, courts across jurisdictions have taken recourse to both the tests to ascertain the overall commercial viability. In this lies an answer for India’s work in progress – Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
在确定一家公司是否有偿债能力时,所有司法管辖区的破产法院通常使用两种测试:商业现金流量测试和资产负债表测试。在2016年颁布《破产和破产法》的同时,印度已经从印度法院根据《印度公司法》遵循的传统双重测试方法转向了特定的现金流量测试。本文讨论了根据英国和美国破产法演变而来的这两种检验标准的概念基础,以期对新兴的印度破产制度进行比较研究。该文件的结论是,无论法律规定的测试是什么,多年来,各个司法管辖区的法院都采用了这两种测试来确定整体的商业可行性。这是印度正在进行的工作的答案——破产和破产法。
