Reservation of seats for SC,ST

Sir,
Art.334(a) says that:

"the reservation of seats for the Schedule Castes and the Schedule Tribes in the House of the People and in the legislative Assemblies of the States....
........Shall cease to have effect on the expiration of a period of sixty years from the commencement of this constitution."

Sir,in this context, I have the following queries:

Q1: Has there been any recent amendment to this Article?


If not.....,

Q2: Sixty years from the commencement of this constitution means upto year 2010. Since we are in 2011 now, does it mean in the coming Legislative Assembly elections to be held in 2011 in West bengal, Assam etc., there will be no reservation for SC,ST candidates?

I shall always remain grateful to you for your guidance.

With regards
Husne Mubarak

Opinion of Experts requested on point of law

Dear Experts,

Please refer Apex court decision at http://yedhulaprakash1.lawyersclubindia.com/judiciary/Licence-for-acquisition-and-possession-of-firearms-and-ammunition-1557.asp

As per my understanding apex court has given primacy to general act/Exim Policy (1997-2002) instead of a specific act i.e. Arms Act 1959.

Whereas apex court, in the case of Suresh Nanada Vs C.B.I 2008 AIR 1414 held that: The Act (Passport Act) is a special Act relating to a matter of passport, whereas Section 104 of the Cr.P.C. authorizes the Court to impound document or thing produced before it. Where there is a special Act dealing with specific subject, resort should be had to that Act instead of general Act providing for the matter connected with the specific Act. As the Passports Act is a special act, the rule that ‘general provision should yield to the specific provision’ is to be applied.

In view of Suresh Nanada Vs C.B.I 2008 AIR 1414, in my opinion Exim Policy should have yielded to specific act of Parliament. No policy can be above an Act of Parliament i.e. Arms Act 1959 in this case. Please give your opinions.

Politicians - Poll plank agenda



>> say.. party "X" before the election say that they will not have any tie-up with party "Y" but later when they fall short of majority they tie up with "Y" what is the remedy available to public who voted for them based on their agenda.



We have anti-defection law to punish those politicians who cut across party line after winning on one party's ticket..
the interest of the political party is protected... but what about the general public who vote based on their agenda or promise and deviate later..
