Definition of Public places according to the act Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Rules, 2008 excludes open space. In this regard let me know, if the workplace is spread over 10 acres of land and the office building occupies 4 acres and the rest is open space, can an employee smoke in the open space?

Cyberlaw Expert Needed for Due Diligence

I am in the process of establishing my commercial website that will sell services online and receive payments from customers as well as disbruse payments to online experts who served customers. I have created user agreement (covering customers as well as online agents), payment policies and privacy policies for the site and want a cyber law expert to do the due dilligence (review) and issue me a certificate.

user agreement incoporates policies by reference.

1) Where can I find such an expert?
2) What will be the approximate charges for the same?
3) Should I go ahead without diligence done or is it risky thing to go without diligence for a commercial site and it can cause problems later.
4) Is the diligence for commercial site required by information technology act 2000? Or is it not mandatory?

pls advise at the earliest.

Thanks

Adv. for Advocate

Dear learned friends,

I have come across a few instances where some advocates of Guwahati prefix "Adv." to their name, like in the case of doctors and engineers who prefix their name with Dr. and Er. respectively. For example Adv. Ram Kumar Das, Adv. Sultan Ahmad, Ad. Joseph Baruah....

Now do you think this is legally correct/fair??

If in the appointment order there is a clause ( agreement) between the employee and employer that the employee will not leave the job without giving proper notice period. In these circumstances, can the company sue for recovery of money from the employee for not adhering to the contract?

Please give your expert advice

Restore the previous practice of appointment of Judges

Dear Brothers & SIsters,

Previously it was the practice that whosoever wanted to become a judge would have to go for training under the guidance of a lawyer. This practice had been stopped for the sake of fulfilling the vaccum of judges in court. The intention was good, but the resultant is not favourable as far as the quality of judgement people are getting.

Judges now getting appointed do not have the requisite site of seeing things beyond books and have shortsightedness regarding the practical nature of law. It is saddening to hear from judges "... why would police file a false case" or "...since the police have said against the accused he is guilty as they do not have prior animity against the accused". If prosecutrix will become the investigator and the witness what defence will a normal lay man will be left with, everyone is not mentally and economically strong to fight to the supreme bench. These type of judgments are not only breaking the criminal justice system but also the lawyers who are in the field.

We are also seeing judges who want judgements / citations regarding the settled principle of laws, acts. The type of judges reaching the chair of justice is saddening, they are themself acting as brat, egoistic, rigid and have no ears for listening to things contrasting to their beliefs. Why should lack of proper investigation be going against the accused. If these type of judges are continued to be appointed the lack of quality judgment is going to be seen. Fault of investigating agencies cannot be burdened on the accused, but in reality what is happening is heartbreaking.

Judiciary for whatever reason is going for the quantity of judgement rather than quality of judgment. Speedy trial without quality cannot be a solution but more appointment of people having right calibre and attitude will be. This will not only restrict the no. of litigation but also enhance the no. of judgment.

Seeing present situation it seems proper to suggest that all the students of law should be sent for training under a lawyer after their final year and degree be awarded after the said period or after getting the degree they be trained under a lawyer before getting to sit in for civil judge (the previous practice). Citizens life and carriers are on line of fire, people giving justice should have the nerves to show through their judgments rather than saving hands and contributing to no. of pending cases.

Judgment in a case is never satisfying for both the parties but it is of prime importance that quality and nature of justice be maintained.

"Restore the previous practice of appointment of Judges"
