Q. The strength to Indian Constitution can be attributed
to evolution in Indian Judiciary with changing times.
Comment.
• The people of our country apparently continue to have faith in our judges
and the justice delivery system—and if they did not, there would be chaos.
• But unfortunately, the faith has been shaken by events of the last couple of
years and unless we are rescued from the quicksand through very quick
corrective measures, all of us will find ourselves in the sinkhole.
Higher judiciary in India includes the Supreme Court of India at the top, followed by
High Courts of respective states.
About:
• The Supreme Court in December, 2018 dismissed a plea seeking review of its 2015 verdict
striking down the National Judicial Appointment Commission (NJAC) Act and the another
related Act.
• This has now led to the revival of the collegium system for appointment of judges in
higher judiciary.
• NOTE: The 2015 verdict of the SC had struck down the NJAC Act 2014 and the
Constitution (99th Amendment) Act 2014, with four out of five judge holding the Act as
unconstitutional and void.

Q. The strength to Indian Constitution can be attributed
to evolution in Indian Judiciary with changing times.
Comment.
• TRIBUNALS IN INDIA
‘Tribunal’ is an administrative body established for the purpose of
discharging quasi-judicial duties.
• An Administrative Tribunal is neither a Court nor an executive body. It
stands somewhere midway between a Court and an administrative body.
• The primary reason for the creation of Tribunals was to overcome the crisis
of delays and backlogs in the administration of justice.
• The Constitution (Forty-Second Amendment) Act of 1976 provided for the
insertion of Articles 323-A and 323-B in the Constitution of India, whereby the
goal of establishment of Administrative Tribunals by the Parliament as well
as the State Legislatures, to adjudicate the matters specified in the sub-
clauses is made possible.

How many administrative tribunals are there in India?
There are several tribunals in India. Of the Central
Administrative Tribunals, there are 17 Benches.
Is a tribunal a court?
A tribunal is a quasi-judicial body. It is similar to a court but
different in certain respects. The differences are mentioned in
the article.
Why are tribunals important?
Tribunals are important because they deliver the mechanism to
provide speedy and cheaper dispute settlement to aggrieved
parties. They also reduce the burden on the normal courts.

delay of a few days, SpaceX launched
two astronauts to the International

moon a half-century ago. to put humans into space. Both NASA and SpaceX urged eager
viewers to stay at home and not to flock towards the Kennedy
Space Center at any time due to the
ongoing coronavirus pandemic

political map

• Law Minister Shivamaya Tumbahamphe
tabled the amendment bill which will be
approving the recent political map
published by the Government incorporating
an additional 370 sq km area in the tri-
junction of Nepal, India, and China (Tibet).
• Nepal has been asserting that Kalapani,
Limpiyadhura, and Lipulek that are seen in
the Indian maps actually belong to Nepal.

▪ The government moved the bill after it was assured
of two-third majority in the House of Representatives
following the decision of the main opposition Nepali
Congress of its support.
▪ On Wednesday, the government of Prime Minister K
P Sharma Oli failed to table the scheduled Bill in
Nepal’s parliament owing to differences within the
ruling party and more time being sought by the main
Opposition.

Rekindling tensions over boundary claims, Indian
and Chinese troops have clashed at two points
along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) recently,
leaving personnel injured on both sides.
Why has not the LAC been clarified?
India has long proposed an exercise to clarify differing

perceptions of the LAC to prevent such incidents. Maps were
exchanged in the Middle Sector, but the exercise fell through
in the Western Sector where divergence is the greatest.
• China has since rejected this exercise, viewing it as adding
another complication to the on-going boundary
negotiations.
• India’s argument is rather than agree on one LAC, the
exercise could help both sides understand the claims of the
other, paving the way to regulate activities in contested
areas until a final settlement of the boundary dispute.

Universal Basic Income is a radical and compelling paradigm shift in
thinking about both social justice and a productive economy.
UBI is premised on the idea that a just society needs to guarantee to
each individual a minimum income which they can count on, and
which provides the necessary material foundation for a life with
access to basic goods and a life of dignity.
What Is Universal Basic Income?

• A basic income is a regular, periodic cash payment delivered
unconditionally to all citizens on an individual basis, without the
requirement of work or willingness to work.
• UBI has three components: universality (all citizens
included), unconditionality (no prior condition), and agency (by
providing support in the form of cash transfers to respect, not
dictate, recipients’ choices).

UBI Concept Is Not New To India
✓ National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAPS) which is a cash transfers to people below
poverty line is one form of Old age income support.
✓ Indira Gandhi National Widow Pension Scheme (IGNWPS)
✓ Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme (IGNDPS)
✓ Rythu Bandhu scheme. The investment support programme provides financial assistance of
₹4,000 per acre per season to all land-owning farmers in Telangana.
✓ DBT scheme: like PAHAL (modified DBTL for LPG subsidy) is a form of income support to the
poor households, to enable them to purchase goods from the market.
•The next frontier is to monetize all the benefits and transfer the money (UBI) to the bank accounts
in the form of income.
• The Economic Survey 2016-17 advocated in favour of monetizing the existing schemes with
universal targeting (gradually) so that none is left out (as it makes it administratively simpler and
cuts down problems associated with targeting beneficiaries).
• India’s Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) with support from UNICEF has been
conducting a cash transfer pilot project in rural villages. Positive results were found in terms of
nutrition, health, education, housing and infrastructure, and economic activity.
• Sikkim’s ruling party, the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF), has decided to include UBI in its
manifesto ahead of the Assembly elections 2019 and aims to implement the scheme by 2022.

Challenges With Respect To Implementation Of UBI In India
1. Large Demography: Covering a large population may lead to drainage of fiscal resources
which are required for capital investments in India like upgradation of Railways, Electricity,
combating climate change, Renewable energy, etc.
2. Geography challenge: Market access is unequally distributed (urban centres vs rural hamlets)
across India (hills, deserts, plains, island) and simply transferring income may not lead to
delivery of services ( like education, health, nutritious food, etc.)
3. Moral challenge: Gandhi ji was against free lunches, a man should earn his food and should
not accept it freely (like MGNREGA).
4. Acceptance challenge: Universality principle will be seen as unjust to the poor as payments
will be made to those who are rich. This will not be accepted by all.
5. Banking challenge: Not all habitations have been covered by the banks and a lot of time and
energy is spent in access banking services physically. Economic survey also points to JAM
(Jan Dhan, Aadhar and Mobile) system as a prerequisite for a successful UBI implementation.
6. Federal challenge: Centre-State negotiations on cost sharing for the programme could delay
its implementation.
