The Big Picture - Ninth Schedule & SC/ST Act

The government is planning to bring an ordinance to overturn the Supreme Court verdict putting safeguards on arrests under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and subsequently introduce a bill to insulate it from further judicial scrutiny. The government is likely to introduce the bill in the monsoon session of Parliament to incorporate the legislation in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution, laws under which cannot be challenged in courts. On this edition of ‘The Big Picture’ we take analyse the 9th schedule and its provisions.
Guests - Prof. Narender Kumar, School of Social Sciences, JNU,
J. Sai Deepak, Advocate, Supreme Court, Satya Prakash, Legal Editor, The Tribune
Anchor: Frank Rausan Pereira

Sai Deepak at his usual best. Thanks for inviting him RS.

[@rohitgiri0]

Destroyed that JNU professor. Such clarity with Sai Deepak. Invite him again RSTV. Such a marvelous debate.

[@abhibisht2562]

Always love listening to J Sai Deepak. Wonderful.

[@geetikasharma968]

Sai Deepak sir and Satya prakash sir are a treat to listen. Thank you rstv

[@RiteshSangeet]

J. SAI DEEPAK ji should be called more frequently on the RSTV shows.

[@taniya9437]

I like watching big picture. But i like it more when J Sai Deepak is among the discussion panelist. He enriches the discussion in a scholarly way. It feels great that India has a well learnt and experienced advocate like him. Deepak sir , hats off !! You not only provide justice to people but enriches the life of many.

[@ankushjindal2143]

Sai deepak totally shattering professore on data point....What a good scene

[@resket32]

Ankush Jindal Yes. The data clearly showed how the poor could ill afford to pursue the genuine cases against the wealthy and mighty perpetrators. And which resulted in the acquittal or dropping of cases.

[@koushikworldian9239]

resket32 that is just u r biased interpretation which is far away from reality

[@hnb193]

resket32 Have seen you commenting elsewhere too. Don’t worry UPSC will filter out biased people like you.

[@resket32]

hnb193 like UPSC filtered out so many illustrious officers. Anyone who claims to prepare for the service to serve the people is being comical. We know that you are in it for the money.

[@rajeshumamaheswaran5971]

As usual sai deepak has displayed his intelligence. Very much eager to hear him. In all matters he is marking his stamp. Well done Sai Deepak. Wonderful

[@avinashsingh9107]

Thanks Frank for a good discussion and bringing Sai Deepak back on the show.Please don't bring biased panelists like Professor who misguides a good discussion.I wonder if they are the people teaching at JNU;they must be instigating students on the basis of caste in JNU.Kudos to J sai Deepak and Satya prakash who pointed out the things very rightly.

[@amitchaudhary-wo7ql]

Avinash Singh that's the reason why most jnu goons support violent crime done by Marxist insurgents against the govt and those who don't support them.

[@romankumar810]

Well said avinash singh..i was going to cmnt these words which u mentioned and when i scrolled down cmnt i found ur comnt...indeed the proffesor is biased and his thought of actually all of the jnu students and its staffs.

Dr. Makarand Paranjape is probably the only sensible professor at JNU.

literally Deepak Sir you are so eloquent... very lucidly you stated the fact and put that in our perspective Thank u RSTV and especially The Big Picture Team n Mr. Frank Rausan Pereira for letting us know some of the debatable issues into our views.

[@gauravdarade2490]

Good to see Satya Prakash and Sai Deepak together after a long time. Both of them are very good speakers

[@anonymous5644]

What an utter load of crap by the jnu professor. Sai Deepak rightly educated him of the facts which he conveniently ignored and tried to undermine. The more one sees the intellectual hypocrisy of these jnu ilks, the more one grows wary of the atmosphere in our universities.

[@hihellohi4523]

Yuganshu Sharma ...I dont understand why Sharmas and Shastris come in the first row against seculars... These are the ones who spoiled the nation with ruthless inhumane brahmanical practices. .and now monger ...I DONT Hope they suffer one day of the same discrimination.

[@apsoluna1971]

Positive me sharma is right these JNU scumbags always try to destroy social fabric of society bloody communist they want azaadi hell wd them

[@hihellohi4523]

sunny chandrayan may i request ur commentson casteist social fabric created by these sharmas

[@apsoluna1971]

Positive me y u so called liberals tries to denounce society on caste rather than calling sharma shastri n raising brahamnical agenda u should fight for core issues

J sai deepak and mr.satya prakash always give lots of insights into the issue.J sai deepak always has absolute clarity and conviction of what he speaks.Professor seems to be confused on the issue. Anyway nice debate and it could be even better if rs tv has brought some another person who advocates for sc st rights. tnx rs tv

[@lavkushyadav9463]

Very good discussion. Thanks to all panelists and Mr Frank.

[@dwarakanathnk6054]

With so many big acts &rules , the irony of today s India is attrocities against sc&STs keeps on jumping at geometrical proportion.on day to day basis fundamental rights of Dalits are exploited, The insensitive supreme court which is protector of fundamental rights of all citizens of this country is dumb and blind towards the marginalized communities of this land at ground reality & gravity of situation by delivering the attrocious verdict which is nothing but judicial attrocity&mockery of justice.

[@magnetkhuraijam7698]

9th schedule - laws under which cannot be challenged in court. This schedule was added in 1st amendment, 1951. It includes (land reforms, abolition of zamindari system, and other laws ) to protect the laws included in it protected from judicial scrutiny on the ground of violation of fundamental rights. However in 2007, SC ruled that the law included in the schedule after April 24, 1973 (keswabhananda case) are now open to judicial review. Latest verdict- January 2017 - no blanket immunity, Judicial review is a basic structure so, cannot be taken away by putting a law under 9th schedule. Two test of any law passed by parliament- 1st: check for violation of FR i.e, Part 3. 2nd: if violate FR, whether the amount of violation goes to violation of basic structure or not. why India didn't have revolution even though there is lot of discrimination ? because the constitution itself is a revolution without any bloodshed. But in ground things didn't change in overnight. Hence , the parliament pass a number of acts including the SC/ST atrocities act. Instead of reduction, atrocities are more day by bay. That is why govt. want to bring the SC/ST act in 9th schedule. But will it reduce the atrocities is still doubtful. The consequence putting in 9th schedule may not change anything to the SC verdict and the law. The rise in the number of cases is not in proportion to the number of instances reported. And data shows lot of misuse of the act was happened. SC judgement is primarily based on the liberty of individual and try to balance between the protection and the abuse. ( both are in FR, art 13 and art 17). There is need to introduce safeguard for both FR. Speedy justice is the need of the hour.

[@informal2928]

magnet khuraijam wrong at one position SC verdict of 2007 case says no blanket not in 2017 .

P. He is not doing anything ......This is the fact .... And if the situations is maintained like this by police station only then naxel comes in the picture of society .....And then government playing politics on it and put energy to kill these innocent people and feeling pride ......What the hell is going I can't able to understand ........ If this is the situation people may think about taking law and order in his hand....

[@rakeshkatkade375]

Well Quoted. But efforts to citing this balance creates imbalance. According to me, we should take a broader view as to whether the law is successful. Many people still suffer the atrocities. We can talk on data when we achieve 100% reporting and we are free from witness/complainant intimidation.
