law Day was marked at the IMS Unison University campus on 26 November, 2013 at 2.00 pm. A seminar on rules of law and democratic governance was organised on the occasion.
Speaking at the seminar, the university’s honourary chancellor Dr RC Goel extolled the Indian legal system and spoke with particular reference to the quick judgement passed in the Delhi gang-rape case thereby instilling public confidence in the judicial system. He went on to say that legal reforms were an ongoing process which is constantly in need of rectification as each specific case may require.
In his keynote address, Indian law Institute director Prof MK Sinha spoke elaborately about the judiciary and the legal system in India. He mentioned that it was after the 44th constitutional amendment that Article 20 and 21 were included in the Constitution thereby enabling anybody to appeal in a court of law even in times of national emergency. He also laid emphasis on the importance of human rights in the country. Prof Abdul Wani cast light upon the various aspects of human rights in India and also shared his experiences on rules of law and democratic governance.
