(C) No. 1119 of 2017 ,  Hon'ble Supreme Court said that "Be it noted, a film or a drama or a novel or a book is a creation of art. An artist has his own freedom to express himself in a manner which is not prohibited in law and such prohibitions are not read by implication to crucify the rights of expressive mind.  The human history records that there are many authors who express their thoughts according to the choice of their words, phrases, expressions and also create characters who may look absolutely different than an ordinary man would conceive of.  A thought provoking film should never mean that it has to didactic or in a way puritanical.

Image
Human rights jurisprudence in India has acquired a constitutional status and sweep, owing to the full potential breathed by this Court into Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India since  Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India. The constitutional regard for human decency and dignity has been explicitly incorporated into Article 21 by this Court. While expounding on the scope of the right to life under Article 21, this Court in Francis Coralie Mullin v. Administrator, Union Territory of Delhi extended the meaning of the right to life beyond the protection of limb or faculty to include the right to live with human dignity and all that goes along with it, namely, the bare necessities of life such as adequate nutrition, clothing and shelter and also the right to carry on such functions and activities as constitute the bare minimum expression of the human-self.   Needless to say, this basic protection of human decency and dignity extends to sex workers and their children, who, bearing t

What Is The Time Limit To Use Stamp Papers In India?

Image
Validity of stamp paper has always been a matter of confusion in the mind of a person who purchases the same and is not able to use the same within next six months. According to section 54 of the Indian Stamp Act 1899 , if a person does not have the use of the stamp paper, then he can deposit the same with the collector, within six months from the date of purchase and can get the refund of money after a deduction of 10 paise per rupee. Provided that the stamp paper has not been spoiled or rendered unfit or useless for the purpose intended.
