3rd Sept

Completed morning program.In chamber from 2 to 4.30 pm.
In the seminar on 'Society & Law Enforcement' on 2nd September at IIC,  Prof. TK Oommen, JNU, spoke on 'Societal Fault Lines and their impact on Law Enforcement'. He said that Europe was a simple stratified society whereas Indian Society was a complex one. In fact the Indian society is three in one. It is stratified, heterogeneous and hierarchical. It has 22 official languages, different races and  multi- religious. It also has many casts and sub-casts. Due to  different nature of the societies, the Law Enforcement is easier in Europe but  a difficult proposition in India. Sh. K.T.S. Tulsi, Senior Advocate and Vice Chairman, Law Commission of India, spoke on ' Legal and Societal Changes required for Reformation of Law Enforcement Process'. He emphasized on modernization of criminal courts and police stations in India. Sh. K.S. Dhillon, IPS (Retd.), spoke on 'Problems of Policing and a Perplexed Society'. He said that there was no lack of laws in India. There was lack of implementation of the same. Justice J. S. Verma, former Chief Justice of India, spoke on 'Judiciary's Role in Effective Law Enforcement'. He said that he was optimistic and emphasized on 'doables', that is to say,. we should implement laws with the existing resources and keep on making efforts to improve upon the same. An interactive session followed the presentations.
On the whole the seminar was interesting and informative.
Retired to sleep at 11 pm.
