A provision in the Representation of the People’s Act, 1951, allowing a legislator to remain in office even if convicted and sentenced for a period of fewer than two years has been brought before the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, which has issued notices to the Union of India and the Indian Election Commission, and has noted that the matter requires scrutiny. “Prima facie, there appears to be a force in the application and the matter needs scrutiny,” said Krishna Murari and Arun Palli, Chief Justice of the Division, in order after hearing the PIL submitted by Ganesh Khemka, a clerk of the Supreme Court of India.

INDIA – Rajasthan Has A New Anti-Lynching Law, But Do Meo Muslim Cattle-Rearing Feel Any Safer?

Seventy-four-year-old Hasbi is sitting alone in a desolate house. Two weeks earlier, Iqbal, her 26-year-old grandson, was accused of killing a cow. Faced with two choices — up to 10 years in jail if convicted or assaulted by cow guards — all the men in her big, joint family escaped. Hasbi was left to fend for herself. The Lynching Bill’s Rajasthan Protection, enacted by the Congress Government on August 5, makes mob lynching punishable by a life sentence. The law is a welcome move, but justice has not been served in the most infamous state lynching case. On 14 August, all six people convicted of killing Meo Muslim dairy farmer Pehlu Khan in April 2017 were acquitted. Khan was lynched when he took a cow from Jaipur to his home in Haryana. Despite the reality that the crime was captured on mobile phone cameras and seen throughout the nation, the accused had been discharged.

UNITED KINGDON – No-Deal Brexit Will ‘ Immediately Disrupt ‘ The UK’s Role As A Global Data Hub Of £ 174 billion

No-deal Brexit would seriously interrupt the free flow of commercially useful information between Europe and the United Kingdom, leaving businesses across finance, hospitality, production, and technology industries facing “immeasurable” additional expenses, according to new research by University College London. The study, which is due to be released this week, points out that future post-Brexit problems with information transfers received “minimal attention” in the discussion on the UK’s exit from the EU, but could turn out to be as severe to the economy as more noticeable issues pertaining to cross-border trade. According to the study, even if there was a Brexit agreement, new rules on data transfers between organizations in the EU and the UK – currently governed by EU law – could prove extremely difficult to renegotiate bilaterally.
