Many speakers ignore their hearers stare over their heads or at the floor. They seem
to be delivering a soliloquy. There is no sense of communication, no give and take
between the audience and the speaker. That kind of attitude would kill a
conversation; it also kills a speech. Good delivery is controversial tone and
directness
enlarge (d) talk to the Community Chest just as you would to John Smith. What is
the
Chest Committee after all but a collection of John Smiths? Everyone has the ability
to
deliver a talk. If you question this statement, try it out for yourself; knock down the
most ignorant man you know; when he gets on his feet will probably say some
things,
and his manner of saying them will be almost flawless. We want you to take that
same naturalness with you when you speak in public. To develop it, you must
practice. Don’t imitate others. If you speak spontaneously you will speak
differently
from anyone else in the world. Put your individuality, your own characteristics
manner into your delivery.

A two-year dilly-dallying on the part of the Maharashtra Government to defend its
vis-à-vis protecting an unauthorized dargah at the tomb of 17th century warrior
Afzal
Kahn has led the Supreme Court to order its demolition.
Ekbote,a former corporator from city, won the legal battle stretching over about
five
years as the apex court dismissed a special leave petition filed by the state against
the

days, mentioning its intention behind keeping the dargah intact.

PASSAGE 4
There were - and are – two kinds of challenge. One is called a ‘peremptory’
challenge. This means that the accused can say ‘I object’ without giving any
reason:
and the juror has to stand down. The other is called challenge for ‘cause’. This
means
that the accused has to show good cause in order to justify his objection
‘Peremptory’
challenge is more difficult to justify. Blackstone suggested that it is confined to
capital cases where the accused may be sentenced to death if he is convicted. He
should be able to object to a man if he does not like the look of him. Simplest and
shortest is to abolish the right to make ‘peremptory’ challenges. The origin of this
right, as I have shown, was in the days when the death penalty was inflicted for
many
offences. Blackstone felt it was justified in favorem vitae(in favor of life). The
accused man knew nothing of the man to whom he object. He had no good cause to
urge why he should not be on the jury. He could only go by the ‘look of him’. That
seems to me altogether an insufficient basis for giving the accused this right.

PASSAGE 5
When the billion strong poor have no political freedom to agitate for prime needs,
when despair drives chunks of people to turn militant in defence of their right to
live
in dignity and equal opportunity, the State, controlled by the proprietariat, would
seek
to suppress the proletariat by arbitrary laws. Another line adopted is to release
police
terror, regardless of human rights legality. Institutional protection of victims of
State
violence is often inadequate and repressive organs and violent gangs level in
assaults
on people’s rights. Civilian morale slums when the State itself takes sides. And
courts
look unperturbed at the harsh laws, however undemocratic or despotic they be, and
basic freedoms become judicial casualty. The TADA, the MISA, the Emergency
Laws etc. on which I will dwell later, are cases where lachrymations about
breaches
of human rights have found poor response and even brutal violations pass judicial
scrutiny.

Death Penalty only in Rarest Cases: SC
“Awarding of life imprisonment” would be a rule, while ‘death’ would be the
exception. The term ‘rarest of rare’ case which is the consistent determination rule
declared by this court, itself suggests that it has to be an exceptional case, said a
bench comprising Justice AK Patnaik and Justice Swatanter Kumar is its judgment
on
Tuesday. Commuting the death sentence awarded to four convicts into life term the
bench said, “most of the heinous crimes under the IPC are punishable by death
penalty or life imprisonment. That by itself does not suggest that in all such
offences,
penalty of death alone should be awarded”. The law contemplates recording of
special reasons and, therefore, the expression ‘special’ has to be given a definite
meaning and connotation. The court has to consider matters like nature of the
offence, how and under what circumstances it was committed, the extent of
brutality
with which the offence was committed, the motive for the offence.
