  T here is a petition in the Supreme Court questions the constitutionality of the Farm Laws and, it is a topic worth discussing. Agriculture and matters related to trade and commerce form a part of the second list which is a subject matter of the state and yet the center had passed the laws on those very subjects. The center states that it had the power to make the law as per entry 33 of the third list, which is the concurrent list. However, this entry was introduced into the list for a temporary period, which for some reason did not find any need to be discontinued, and so it remained.

Such developments should have been nipped in...

As our society is evolving and moving towards a new phase in every sector there is an urgent requirement to address sexual harassment not only for women but also for other genders i.e., third gender. The Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of National Legal Service Authority vs. Union of India 2014, recognized the third-gender rights and gave them reservation in the OBC category so that they can also live their life with dignity. Under this judgment, the Supreme Court has asked the central government and the state government to devise social awareness campaigns for re-establishing their respect in society.   But as soon as the third-gender i.e. LGBTQ community got recognition within the society and given opportunity to get educated and employed, they continued to face sexual harassment at the workplace. But, there is no law regarding the protection of their dignity in society if it is outraged by any random man. Addressing the same issue a PIL was filed in the Supreme Court for ...
