FUN FACT AAJ KA GYAN PART 1 The section 151A of the Representation of the People Act of 1951 mandates the Election Commission of India (ECI) to fill the casual vacancies in the Houses of Parliament and State Legislatures through bye elections within six months from the date of occurence of the vacancy. But, this is only if the remainder of the term of a member who is newly elected is one year or more. The term of 16th Lok Sabha is upto 3rd June, 2019. Therefore, it is understood that some newspapers have reported that the ECI on the one hand announced the bye elections to fill the 3 casual vacancies in Lok Sabha from Karnataka while the bye elections to fill 5 vacancies in LS from Andhra Pradesh have not been announced. As the vacancies from Karnataka have occurred more than one year before the expiration of the term of House, bye elections are required to be held under Section 151A of R. P. Act 1951 to fill these vacancies within 6 months from the date of occurrence of vacancies that is 18th& 21st May, 2018. In the case of vacancies from Andhra Pradesh, there is no need to hold bye elections as the remaining term of the Lok Sabha is less than one year from the date of occurrence of vacancies that is 20th June, 2018. PART 2 NITI Aayog has organised Workshop on Best Practices in International Arbitration in collaboration with ICC International Court of Arbitration in New Delhi on 10 October 2018. It purpose is to strengthen dispute resolution mechanisms and to not only encourage Make in India but also to Resolve in India. The workshop would cover basic concepts of international arbitration and include best practices on drafting, selection of arbitrators, enforcement of arbitral awards, role of courts in the arbitration life cycle, among other topics, with information sharing sessions to be conducted by world class faculty and practitioners from the United Kingdom, Singapore, Paris and India.
By extension: NRC for Tripura An NRC for Tripura will risk creating new fault lines in the State Just three months after the final draft of the National Register of Citizens for Assam was released, the Supreme Court has tagged a petition seeking a similar process for Tripura. The petition now tagged to the Assam case was heard by a bench headed by the Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi, on Monday. The petitioners, a group of activists from Tripura, sought a process to identify illegal migrants and deport them from the State. They maintained that the influx amounted to external aggression and that they have turned the tribal people into a minority in their own native land. Much of the migration into Tripura occurred before the creation of Bangladesh. The petition takes recourse to the 1993 tripartite accord signed by the Government of India with the All Tripura Tribal Force that asked for the repatriation of all Bangladeshi nationals who had come to Tripura after March 25, 1971 and are not in possession of valid documents authorising their presence in the State.
CONTINUE In fact, the petitioners go even further than the terms of the accord to demand that the cut-off date for the recognition of migrants should be July 1949, based on Article 6 of the Constitution. These demands must be contextualised in the light of the developments in Tripura over the last four decades. As early as in 1979, after years of struggle, the tribal people of the State had gained special autonomy provisions, the institution of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council and recognition of their spoken language, among other assurances. Since then, the empowerment of the council and the protection of tribal rights have steadily eroded the significant tribal versus non-tribal differences that once existed in the State. Over the last three decades, multiple insurgent groups have ended violent struggles either quelled by force of law or as a result of conceding vital demands for preserving the gains made by earlier tribal struggles.
CONCLUSION The judicial-bureaucratic process of hearing a petition to seek the deportation of long-settled migrants is fraught with problems, not dissimilar to those already being faced in Assam. The question of what awaits the four million people whose names did not figure in the final NRC draft, and have been given a second chance to prove their antecedents, still hangs in the balance. Notwithstanding the fact that the NRC process in Assam has an overall popular legitimacy across most political parties, there is no answer to how the deportation process could (or should) proceed. Embarking on any such bureaucratic exercise without considering its deep humanitarian impact will only create new fault lines especially in a State like Tripura where there is no such unanimity of views on the NRC process. It will undo years of work to bring about a reconciliation between Bengalispeaking and tribal people. The Supreme Court should be cognisant of this while hearing the petition.
Major mission to sequence genes of Indians planned A group of Indian scientists and companies are involved with a 100k GenomeAsia project, led out of the National Technological University (NTU), Singapore, to sequence the whole genomes of 100k Asians, including 50,000 Indians. India is planning a major mission to sequence the genes of a large group of Indians akin to projects in the United Kingdom, China, Japan and Australia and use this to improve health as well as buck a global trend of designing personalised medicine. This was among the key decisions taken at the 1st Prime Minister s Science, Technology and Innovation Advisory Council (STIAC) in its first meeting on Tuesday. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Department of Biotechnology would be closely associated with the project. Ever since the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in 2009 announced that it had sequenced the genome of an Indian, then making India one of six countries to achieve such a feat, several research labs have analysed genes from Indians for disease susceptibility.
CONTINUE However, no compendium of genes that differentiate Indian populations from, say Caucasian or African genomes exist. A group of Indian scientists and companies are involved with a 100k GenomeAsia project, led out of the National Technological University (NTU), Singapore, to sequence the whole genomes of 100k Asians, including 50,000 Indians. Our lifestyle, our environment and the genes we inherit all combine to make us what we are. The diversity of Indians and of our environment requires a large-scale study of human genomes, of our lifestyle in health and disease and the use of healthy and disease samples to understand the impact on health, said a press statement from the STIAC. Principal Scientific Adviser and Chair of the Council, K. Vijay Raghavan, said the genome initiative will have to move at two different levels.
CONCLUSION Sequencing genomes and linking to human health and disease as a research initiative, and doing this on a much larger scale, so it has a direct impact on public health. As the first level starts, the second will be put in place, speedily. The Council acts as a coordinator between several ministries to work on projects and missions and is scheduled to meet once a month, he added. Key programmes, such as a Deep Ocean Mission, to facilitate ocean science and technologies to help with India s strategic interests and an Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing missions were also discussed. Other participants at the meeting were the secretaries of the science and health ministries as well as Dr. V.K. Saraswat, former DG, DRDO; Dr. A.S. Kiran Kumar, former Chairman, ISRO; Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Professor, IISC, Bengaluru. Maj. Gen. Madhuri Kanitkar, Dean, Armed Forces Medical College, Pune; Prof. Sanghamitra Bandopadhyay, Director, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata; Manjul Bharghava, Professor, Princeton University, Subhash Kak, Professor, Oklahoma State University and Baba Kalyani, MD, Bharat Forge.
