 So why do you wish to join civil service? My experience isn't that awesome. Actually my work with a student-led initiative called IDI, increasing diversity by increasing access to legal education. But I could work for an impact of the clients. This is why I chose civil services. Civil services gives us that opportunity to reach out to people through various means, especially policy implementation. This was my reason I wanted to. I see from a bio-data that you are associated with a law firm and you are getting one back 45,000 per month, which means you must be doing very good job as a young lawyer. And it also shows that you have a very bright future in law. Now, why do you want to make a change? So I have already left my open job and I wish to make a change because I want to use my knowledge of law and my legal attitude in the civil services because even administration has a lot to deal with law. So I think my legal education can also be of use in this field. This is your first student? Yes, this is my second student. Second student? What qualities will you bring to this job? I will bring the ability to communicate. To deal with situations and drawing solving that is something that I have learned during my law school. I am also a very balanced person and I have learned to appreciate adverse different viewpoints. So I believe I will be able to deal with situations. You are quite right but you know in this job you require something more than all these. These are admirable qualities but you require like integrity. This is the first way. The rule of law, you must abide by the rule of law all days. Third is moral courage, that is courage to do and say the right thing. And fourth, readiness to lead from the front and handle crisis. These are the qualities which you must always mention. The same. You know in our relationship with China there is a phrase which is often used for the string of pearls. What do you understand by this string of pearls? The string of pearls refers to a chain of military establishments. A chain of various ports which the China is either helping other countries to weather or is also getting a lease hold of such as the Hamban Tota port. And these string of pearls are present in the Indian Ocean. So which are these you mentioned, Hamban Tota? What else? Sir, there is another port for Khyanko in Myanmar. Then even in Maldives there was an attempt to... Maldives, there is nothing there at the moment. What else? Sir, in Djibouti they have... Yes, they have got to go to Djibouti. Sir, even the cocoa islands which are near Maldives, even China has control over those islands also. So these are a few areas in the Indian Ocean which form a part of the string of pearls. One important port which you have forgotten is part of the CPEC. I beg your pardon, sir. So it's the Guadalaport. Guadalaport. Now, China has been spending a lot of money on the CPEC. In fact, according to published records for 55 billion dollars. What is the significance of the CPEC for China? So the significance of CPEC for China is 3-4. First, to ensure energy security of China. Because as of now, the importance of oil takes a very normal route through the Strait of Malacca. And that becomes a problem in case it's blocked. So this will provide a shorter route. Second, it is also important from the point of view of Xinjiang province of China. Because if this CPEC works, then it can bring economic development in those regions and can probably help control the adverse views which arise in that area against China. Which is the group which is causing the problem in Xinjiang? They are called Yogurts. Yogurts? Yes. But they are taking very harsh action against them in any case. So that's not a very major issue. But the basic strategic advantage as you mentioned is that it gives them a direct access and the distance is decreased and tremendous. What is the length of the CPEC area? It's about 3000 kilometers. While the distance through the states of Malacca up to South China Sea and out to the eastern coast is 3 times longer than that. So that is the basic issue. Now, there is a scheme of the government called Standard India. Are you aware of that? Yes, sir. What is the scheme? The scheme of Standard India mandates the grants to provide certain loans to persons from Chengdu caste, Chengdu tribes and also to women. So the aim is to make credit available to these groups so that they can then probably go for entrepreneurship or a set of them. How much money can they get under this scheme? Any idea? Sorry. 10 lakhs. 10 lakhs to one group. This is the amount which can be... Okay. Now, something on law. Does the constitution provide any provision for removal of the supreme court judge? Sir, article 124 talks about removal of the supreme court judges and... Under two conditions, right? Under two conditions. What are those? Where there is any... Removal? Is there a way? Proved custody and incapacity. Now, the judges inquiry act lays down the procedure. What is the procedure? So the procedure is that first, a notice has to be moved by 15 members of the Rajasattva or 100 members of the Lokasattva to the respective presiding officer. Then the presiding officer has a discretion to accept or reject the notice. Once the notice is accepted, then an inquiry committee is set up which comprises of three individuals. And based on the recommendation... Who are those? Who are those? So the three members are first, a judge of the supreme court, second, a chief justice of the high court and third, is an evidentialist. Now, you follow law and tennis, right? There are four grandstand events. Which are these? Sir, in the chronological order, we had Australian Open, Paris Open, the Wimbledon and the US Open. Thank you. Oh, it's alright. You have mentioned like, you know, Assam Meghalaya, that is the choice, both choice. There is something like Manipurthipura. They are called joint cadres. Isn't it? What do you mean by that? Have you ever thought of law as your option? What is this? One third constitution amendment, one hundred. So the one hundred third constitution amendment provides for 10% reservation to persons from economically backward sections. And an amendment has been moved to article 15 and article 16 and article 156 and article 166 have been added to the constitution. Now it is again in the Supreme Court. Do you think it will have some legal problems? So there is a possibility legal hurdles on two fronts. First is the economic backwardness as a criteria. And second, the 50% rule, in my opinion... In which case there is 50% gaping on that? Sir, it was done in the case of Indira Sani versus Union of India. And it was also then re-iterated in the Nagara judgement. And the courts had helped that 50% rule is essential to maintain the basic principle of right to equality. In Nagara state, there is not something else in Nagara judgement had talked about promotions in government services. Subject to? Subject to four conditions. The conditions mean that there should be a quantifiable data to show backwardness. That there should be a 50% limit or a criminal limit as well. And third, to also ensure that efficiency in administration is maintained. Is that also a provision in the constitution? Yes, sir. So, it's article 325 of the constitution. Okay. Tell me, suppose you are posted as district magistrate in a northeastern state, any state, Assam, Nagara, what are the kinds of problems you face there as district magistrate? Tell me, what are the problems in northeastern states? So, of the various problems that there are in northeastern states, what are the kinds of problems is the level of development. Second is the clashes which take place due to ethnic identities. Yes. Because there is a fear of loss of ethnic identities. And third also because those areas surround the waters and there are also issues of migrations and porous waters when it comes to our international... I mean, substance in some of these states. Yes, sir. Okay. Now, you are posted as district magistrate. Maybe in some states like Assam. So, what would be your priority? Or any backward district of Haryana? You might forget about Assam. You are now in Haryana. So, you tell me what you would like to do in the district magistrate to make a mark that you have done something. Sir, my priority will be... I will begin with first I'll let you find the core issues of that area. Because every area has a different issue. And based on that, now, the priority is the actions that... Haryana, suppose Faridabad. So, what do you do? So, my first action will be to curb air pollution. Air pollution? Sir, it is Faridabad. What will you do in Faridabad? Air pollution and district magistrate. So, as a district magistrate, I will have the opportunity to reach out to people and air pollution cannot be curbed merely by government measures. It also requires the efforts of the people. So, as a district magistrate, I can probably come up with certain plans, come up with certain programs where I can encourage the people of Faridabad to ensure and work towards reducing air pollution. I think that's a better answer. What's your focus? Air, health and child's legal bodies. Air, health and child's legal bodies. No, ma'am. They are informal bodies which have been set up and they often act as a quasi-jewelry body. So, many times they give their details. So, why do people work on that? Like, you know, on a clearance. How do people ask for those details? Probably because the half-an-child enjoys a social or a moral authority over the people in those areas. Also, probably because people also agree with their decisions to some extent and which is why they go on a lifetime in such unequal decisions. And that is probably other camps also known for some good work in Haryana. Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. The whole camp has ensured that there should be W only to piece one. There are certain other decisions which have been taken such as the marriage procession should not include more than 21 people so that there is less burden on the child. Then even the baby which is a baby padau scheme has been propagated and has been brought to the fore by the half-an-child. What is the scheme you are talking about baby-padau, baby-padau? The scheme has been launched by the Republic of India. Please tell me what it means baby-padau, baby-padau. There are three components of the scheme. First is to eliminate gender-based sex elimination. So do we have an act for that? Yes ma'am. The act is called pre-natal so what is being done? What is being done in another set? Yes ma'am. Under this act. From under this act first sex selection has been banned that the devices which can take the sex and the determination cannot work. It is in a certain area. Even the doctors should not disclose the sex of the unborn child. And third under this act the governments have undertaken a lot of special inter-district and inter-stage rates. And have also banned the setting of anti-peakings which are used under the baby-padau. What is being done in Kerala? Under the baby-padau certain measures are being taken to encourage the parents to send the girl child to the school. These measures are Sukanya Samarathi program. Then also Akimeti and Mahadevi program in which they encourage the parents to ensure that the money that they deposit are used for the education of the girl and that they are not married at a very early age. You were talking about air pollution. Now Ariana has just denotified parts of the environment. Will this lead to more air pollution? Will cut down the forests? There are genuine concerns because after an amendment has been made to the Punjab Land Reservation Act, certain areas of the Arawanese can be cut down. And as we know, plants or trees form a really important part of curving air pollution. So has the NGT given any directions regarding air pollution in Delhi and the national capital area? In Seattle? Yes, ma'am. The NGT had recently banned the use of coke and furnace oil which has been used in large numbers in the air pollution. The NGT had also given orders to not fail trees in Arawanese sometime back. And the program, the GDRP program which did make a response action was also formed as a result of the actions of the NGT. What about the ban of entry of diesel vehicles more than a certain year is sold in Delhi and that's coming to date? Yes ma'am, that was also denied. Now what's the status of the sanctuary in Delhi? From the current status that 85% of it has been built the works have been completed in Haryana. However, the certain other works are getting in Punjab and the Punjab is refusing to provide water. They have also returned the land taken from farmers back to farmers. They do not have sufficient water these days. And secondly the flow of water has also changed from what was earlier anticipated under the work. So what can we do to look into this problem of scarcity of water in Haryana? A multi-dimensional approach is required. The very first is the 85% of the groundwater in Haryana is being used for agriculture. Certain steps can be taken such as efficient technology such as drilling and sprinklers. Second, there should be a change in the property pattern. And these can be What about what I have missed? Yes ma'am, even in little points. Definitely ma'am even for the quality factor, a district in Nivath has actually built a lot of lands and has actually turned a water efficient area into an area which can provide water for survival. So such steps should be taken. Are there provisions in law for the protection of women? Safety of women? Just mention some of these. Now the very first is under the IPC where certain new clients have been at such as voyeurism, stalking and section harassment. Then there are provisions against women and this is under the IPC. Then we have certain other provisions such as sexual harassment and the workplace. And why did I find that we want to go to competition law? Because we need a competition law. So we need a competition law to ensure that there is a living team that no person is able to exploit his or her or their dominant position in the market that even new players are allowed to enter and you have a competition law in India? Yes sir. When was this law elected? Sir it was enacted in 2002. And what are the provisions? Sir the provisions are that it deals with three types of anti-competition measures such as anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position and combinations and provisions have been provided to ensure none of these leads to adverse impacts on the competition. An important judgment given by this under this law in India. Sir Penalty has also been improved in MLCs. I am going to refer to the recent judgment where the combination of reliance in the reliance geo and whatever and idea was there held to me. That's fine. Internal support of justice what is the jurisdiction? So the jurisdiction is based on certain provisions. First the members of the United Nations can agree to bring a dispute before the International Court of Justice under Article 26 of the ICJ. Second if there is any agreement or any treaty which provides for compulsory jurisdiction then also it can be provided for insistence. So the final hearings recently took place and India has made a three point argument. First that India has jurisdiction. Second that the ICJ has jurisdiction. Second that Pakistan is under an egregious breach of Article 361 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. And third that certain beliefs must be grounded and that beliefs should even extend to releasing the decision. Economic crimes that are the influence. And we have some laws also to address this problem. You know, sites have a lot of law ordered without a lot of the institutions. There are lots of sites in the Vienna Transactions Act. Then even the fugitives if not make offenders then even even though that is not for an offense even the IPC for that matter also talks about where there are tech populations which are non-anime and then certain measures are taken. So these are certain laws which deal with the institutions. So institutions such as the enforcement directorate even the CDI is also in certain pieces and there are many differences and what are the sources of administrative law? So the sources of administrative law are basically the dedicated legislation where certain rules and bylaws are made by the executive director and the first law commissioner what is his role? So law commission of India's role is the time of the where they research on certain personal legal issues and provide certain advice to the government for instance the recent case of sedition or even the call as a death penalty and certain other such issues. Last question what is the area on which not much progress is needed? What is eliminating the growth of the government and is less concerned on labor laws? So labor laws is a very complex idea. There are multitudes of laws which are in place and recently the government is trying to combine those laws into four quotes however there are certain problems such as objections by the trade unions with the seemingly reduction of the legal laws. Some of the state governments have made changes in the law can you set some example on that? Or which are the states that have carried out some of the laws? We have done it and we have done it. Ok fine. Thank you. Right. Now there seems to be a competition among the states to provide more and more reservation which are being provided now of 1% to 5%. But Maharashtra has given I don't know 12% of them to Maharashtra. Here at all this end eventually it will go to the supreme court all this. What do you think would be the main issue before the supreme court? Identify two-three issues with supreme court will be So the very first issue will be the breach of 50% set up by the supreme court. The second will be whether these sections of the population can actually qualify for reservation under Article 15 and Article 16 which restricts to socially and educationally backward groups. So third probably the point of efficiency of the administration which is provided under Article 335 These I believe will be the major issues before the supreme court. And the issue will be whether the constitutional amendment 103 is a valid amendment or not. That itself will be after an entire decision what advice was made of tightening the laws and providing up to the potential information to the legal and the legal for a better date now as far as law enforcement is concerned. In a positive steps have been taken and for instance many changes have been made to the IPC and the CRPC to strengthen the laws that exist and now it's up to the implementation how these implementations are brought in. That's where I am asking you law enforcement how is the quality of the law very good you read the CRB reports it's not quite reading what you are listening to. Here in the state Haryana presents some very stark paradoxes do you see any paradoxes? So one major paradox is that Haryana itself is an economy parameter but has been planning behind its social parameters especially the taxation. And if at Haryana there is no honour for any of these kinds of things it's very hard and child predominance. There is no liberalisation despite the economic growth anything else you can find women are suppressed but some girls are going extremely well. What do you think that's a strange thing? There is another paradox which I find or first one would say in its reckless search for economic growth it has forgotten the basic principle of sustainable development and it has come down to being all right DLPA is being amended 30,000 hectares are being released from other areas and I think this is a very serious problem What is net neutrality? It indicates the internet service providers do not discriminate between the content that is put up on the internet to ensure that there is sure internet regulated Internet should be regulated to the extent that if the use of internet is leading to issues such as internal security challenges then there is a need to regulate it. What for the grounds of the 66A was the head of constitution? The 66A was a constitutional for being arbitrary and for providing excess powers to the police without sufficient savings and its wording was extremely vague grossly offensive menacing or anything can be menacing so it could be interpreted in a very extreme way one more question COP 21 Paris are its decisions legally binding? because legally binding upon another party when it forms a part of the convention that exists What is any climate agreement global agreement ever legally binding? So it should be put up on But it has been diluted Major parties are learning a bit from it What happened at HENY? What was the result of the HENY summit? It was a very bad one It just failed It was a very strong device You know HENY? What happened? Yes sir Of course the Donald Trump walked out of the negotiations and the agreement has been reached due to legalization of the Because both sides are adamant on a certain We close the interview I'll give you a little feedback First is you said very well you were very well informed and you have been able to answer most of the questions nicely including like Stainless bullets etc Just be careful about areas you said cocoa island just check up on cocoa island whether China is really controlling My information is China is controlling nothing in Myanmar So Most of the questioning will be based on your bio data Haryana is one of the issues you have to prepare though you are pretty well prepared but just keep in mind that since no such remains of it we are going to ask you another question I have not asked you questions on constitution principles which are important like basic structure rigidity in the constitution what are the sources of rigidity article 21 due process of law then the question can be that most states are hoping that these reservation policies will be placed in nice schedule and so it will be removed from judicial review but then there is a basic structure in basic structure in this term so those are the areas where you have to keep your information absolutely then criminals in politics Lady Thomas and last year in 2018 Supreme Court gave some very good important directions including establishment of 12 special courts so scope for operation and current affairs kitha akam on the chart secondary school activities 10 days sex life you are a very pleasant personality you are fully equipped to handle this interview nicely so keep up your good studies it is just one question I do not come across someone who speaks really fast because I have been told that you are doing very good this also someone told you yes you will be late don't forget to like share and subscribe to our channel and press the bell icon to never miss an update
