Certify
Certify, The word 'certify' in the Article 134 (1) (C) of the Constitution of India has a clear meaning. It requires that when giving the leave to appeal, the High Court must first determine the issue of law which in its opinion is needed to be settled by the Supreme Court and such question must be clearly set out in its order. It is well-established that mere grant of certificate by the High Court does not prevent this Court from determining whether it was rightly granted and whether the conditions prerequisite for the grant of certificates are satisfied, T.B. Thakore v. State of Maharashtra, (1969) 3 SCC 369 (371). [Constitution of India, Art. 134 (1) (c)]The word 'certify' used in clause (c) of article 133(1) suggests that the High Court is expected to apply its mind before certifying the case to be fit for appeal. The mere grant of a certificate would, however, not preclude this Court from determining whether the conditions pre-requisite for the grant are satisfied. It is, therefor...
Suicide and euthanasia
Suicide and euthanasia, the view that distinction between 'suicide' and 'euthanasia' is logically inconsistent may not be quite incorrect, because in passive euthanasia, wherever it has been accepted as legally permissible, consent of the patient, if he be in a sound mental condition, has been regarded as one of the prerequisites. So, if one could legally commit suicide, he could also give consent for his being allowed to die. But then, the legal and other questions relatable to euthanasia are in many ways different from those raised by suicide. One would, therefore, be right in making a distinction logically and in principle between suicide and euthanasia, though it may be that if suicide is held to be legal, the persons pleading for legal acceptance of passive euthanasia would have a winning point. However, for the present case it is sufficient to say that the justification for allowing persons to commit suicide is not required to be played down or cut down because of any encourageme...
Which initiates any disciplinary proceedings
Which initiates any disciplinary proceedings, the words 'which initiates any disciplinary proceed-ings' in relation to the Govt. and words 'against whom such proceedings are started' in relation to a member of the Service indicate that the initiation of disciplinary proceedings in the form of inquiry into charges is not the prerequisite of an order of suspension, P.R. Nayak v. Union of India, AIR 1972 SC 554: (1972) 1 SCC 332: (1972) 2 SCR 695....
