The image is taken from  PresidentKovind-kkHE--621x414@LiveMint.jpg   Former President Ram Nath Kovind stated that an "ideal police system" means that a police officer's work is full of duty and accountability. Life and liberty are essential moral values that are considered to be such in all human civilizations, and police officers must frequently determine whether or not to arrest, i.e., whether or not to take away someone's freedom, and in extreme cases, whether or not to take away someone's life. The police must evaluate a wide range of acts while making moral judgements. They must assess a person's goodness and badness before determining if their acts are wrong.  For each action committed by a person, they must consider the motive, goals, and effects of the activity.  The police may be obliged to encounter danger or hostility in order to do their duties, and predictably, police personnel are

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued instructions to remove some tweets from Twitter under Section 69 (A) of the Information Technology Act of 2000. (Microblogging Site). Twitter has filed a petition with the Karnataka High Court, saying that many of the banning orders violate Section 69 (A) of the Act. According to Section 69 (A) of the IT Act, the corporation "failed to comply with the directives on repeated occasions," according to the Ministry. Twitter provided a list of over 80 accounts and messages that it has banned in response to a government request in 2021.

 ~Preet. Because Delhi lacks statehood, there has been a protracted conflict over the relative powers of the elected government of New Delhi and the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) (chosen by the Union Government) for the territorial administration of New Delhi. The two had several disagreements, involving control of institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Civil Services, and the Electricity Board, among others. Furthermore, the 2021 modification to the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act,1991, emphasises that the danger of violence remains. The position of Delhi as a Union Territory under Schedule 1 of the Constitution, but renamed the "National Capital Territory" under Article 239AA, as engrafted by the Constitution (69th Amendment) Act. The 69th amendment to the Indian Constitution included Article 239AA, which proclaimed the Union Territory of Delhi to be managed by an L-G who works with the assistance and advice of the elected legislative assembl

Image
~Preet In its most recent annual report for 2020-21, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019 is a humane and ameliorative law that does not deprive any Indian of citizenship.  The CAA, which intends to offer citizenship to migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, or Pakistan who belong to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, or Christian groups, was notified on December 12, 2019, and went into effect on January 10, 2020.  Protests erupted around the country in response to the law. There are concerns that the CAA, which will be followed by a nationwide compilation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), will benefit non-Muslims who are not on the planned citizens' register, while excluded Muslims will have to justify their citizenship. It violates the Assam Accord of 1985, which specifies that unlawful migrants from Bangladesh arriving after March 25, 1971, regardless of faith, will be deported. There are an estimated 20 million undocum
