Curbing the khaps Crimes committed in the name- Caste, clan or family

Social prejudices, feudal structures and patriarchal attitu

des are behind what are referred to as ‘honour killings’

In the latest judgment, a threejudge Bench headed by

Chief Justice Dipak Misra has located the problem

as one that violates liberty and dignity of individuals,

Requires preventive, remedial and punitive measures

High Courts of Punjab and Haryana and Madras

have laid down guidelines to the police on creating speci

al cells and 24hour helplines to provide assistance

and protection to young couples.

Empowered the police to prohibit such gatherings

Supreme Court guidelines are welcome

but we need a strong law on ‘honour’ crimes

Curb killings in the name of honour


Sending the wrong signalGovt must file a review petition of Supreme Court order in SC/ST Act case

180 million Dalits.

A crime is committed against a Dalit every 15 minutes.

Six Dalit women are raped every day.

Over the last 10 years (20072017), there has been a 66% growth in crime

against Dalits.

Figures represent only a tip of the iceberg since most Dalits do not register cases

for fear of retaliation by higher castes

National Crime Records Bureau on which Supreme Court based its recent judgment

that sought to protect public servants and private citizens from arbitrary arrests

under the Scheduled Castes and ScheduledTribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989,


Continue In any case, as for the case in hand, Section 22 of the SC/ST Act already

protects public servants from prosecution if they acted in ‘good faith’.

But now even a First Information Report is not to be registered without

preliminary inquiry.

Moreover, even after the registration of FIR, the accused cannot be arrested

without written approval of the appointing authority.

No FIR can be registered against anybody without permission of the senior

superintendent of police.

Judgment will have a chilling effect on the already underreported crimes

against Dalits.

The government must go for a review


On the electric highwayCharging infrastructure for vehicles must be scaled up

There is no target for a shift to electric vehicles

by year 2030, the Ministry of Heavy Industries

and Public Enterprises clarified on March 8.

Incentivising purchase of electric vehicles through

the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid

&) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME) programme,

since April 1, 2015,

Mahindra and Mahindra, Mahindra Reva Electric,

Maruti Suzuki, Toyota Kirloskar andTata Motors

are participating in the demand incentive scheme.


ContinueA 2017 report issued jointly by NITI Aayog and the Rocky Mountain Institute in the U.S.

projects that, for an oil price benchmark of $52 a barrel, shared, electric, and connected

mobility options would help the country save $60 billion (₹3•9 lakh crore) in 2030,

besides eliminating cumulative emissions of 1 gigatonne of carbon dioxide.

Major challenge in scaling up electric mobility is availability of charging infrastructure

across the country


A solar gear shift

Indian government is switching gears on solar energy.

Renewable energy as a champion sector under the Make in India 2.0 programme.

India currently meets almost 90% of its annual requirement of solar panels through

imports (mainly China), impeding the growth of a nascent(नवजात) domestic solar

manufacturing sector

Increasingly focussed on domestic manufacturing, both in the form of capital subsidies

and considerations of trade regulation.

Do they comply with the global trade regime? And will they keep our renewable

energy (RE) ambitions on track?

These questions warrant examination through four lenses.

First, implementing trade remedies that have anticompetition implications has

become commonplace, with clean energy becoming its newest victim

Continue

Two large solar energy markets, India and the United States, imposition of safeguards

duty on solar panels.

Trade remedies are attractive because they

• Create tangible short term benefits such as job creation,

• Reduction in trade deficit, and

• Higher local tax collection.

Such a move would also result in higher tariffs and make solar power less attractive

Second, - Ensuring compliance (अनुपालन)

It is vital that India remains compliant with the global trade regime

Other countries opposed as it discriminated against foreign solar cell suppliers.

A draft policy (2017) aimed at promoting domestic solar manufacturing evoke similar

opposition at theWTO

ContinueThird, India’s solar sector is currently caught in inter ministerial crossfire.

The severity of the issue is evident in the power given to both the Ministry of Finance (MoF)

and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) to implement trade remedies

safeguard duties and antidumping duties

Further, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has been grappling with

issues posed by the MoF regarding the reclassification of solar panels as electrical

motors (the current classification is photosensitive semiconductor devices),

imposing additional duties and cesses on importers

Coordinate moves among the MoF, the MoCI, Ministry of Power, and the Central and

State Electricity Regulatory Commissions.

Fourth, developers and manufacturers need to voice their needs clearly and respond

to policy implications- Case for unified voiceCopyright @ Study-IQ education Be Happy, Share & Help Each Other!!!
