Some Aspects of our Legal Battle in Supreme Court

If you have read it already Ignore it but forward it to friends!!


As you are aware that SC in an order issued on 31.05.06 had
a) given 8 weeks time (by july end) to union govt to file an affidavit
b) observed that
“if ultimately the policy, which is yet to be implemented, is in fact implemented, same shall be sub to result of writ petitions”
AND
“if any action is taken by the govt in respect to impugned policy, the same shall be subject to the outcome of present proceedings and/or any proceeding which may be filed relating to the issues.”
c) refused to issue stay order.


I would like to bring to your notice the popular belief prevalent [as people including our friends who participated in protests are not aware of exact observations of the order, which are mentioned above (b)]
We have lost the battle because the only intention of the SC was to help the govt by
a) forcing medicos to call off the strike
b) giving govt 8 weeks time and not issuing stay order despite the fact that the monsoon session was to begin on 27th june

if the govt introduces the bill and tries to pass it ( which I think it will) it will lead to severe demoralization of students
a) right now this would be the motive of govt- pass the bill (even if it is clear to them that it wont have any legal standing) as a show of strength/ iron will….. given their knowledge that we are not in a position to protest/strike/show our dissent strongly (as directed by the court)
b) this will compound to the belief that judiciary is also on the side of legislative ( that SC has helped govt to pass the bill, as people are not aware of SC’s exact observations)
c) we, as active members, know about the order properly; would wait for the govt’s reply due in july end and would not protest strongly(at max, strike for 1 day)…. This will lead to further spread of misbelief that YFE has lost its confidence and perseverance.

What we should do
a)prepare for a very well organized protest all over the country in case the bill is introduced and passed
b)more importantly, prepare the people(students as well as masses) regarding this move of govt and its motive
(for which we don’t have much time, keeping in mind the current state of demotivation and lack of appropriate nexus up to grass root levels.)

suggestions: -if media doesn’t give proper coverage to us, we can give ads in newspapers/ televisions(depending upon funds available).
-Extensive circulation of pamphlets in participating institutions.
