Not Available ; Sustainability of resources and safety of products are the main areas covered under the laws regulating sea food industry. The laws relating to resources aim at protection, conservation, management and sustainability. Laws regarding seafood products focus on food quality and safety from public health point of view. Fisheries sector development policies in India include regulation of fishing areas, closed or restricted fishing seasons, ban on capture of endangered species, regulation of mesh size, coastal regulated zone, sustainable aquaculture, loan and subsidy and social welfare in the fish production sector. The labour laws in capture and culture fisheries are more of conventional nature than legal. In the post-harvest sector, the thrust is on the quality of the product and is governed by Indian and International standards. Labour laws of the state governments are largely applicable in the pre-processing and processing sector and exporting establishments. Abolition/restriction of cotract labour act and interstate migrant workmen act are the laws generally followed in this sector. Laws specific to seafood industry are inadequate or non existent. Implementation of laws and regulations in seafood industry has given rise to many social issues such as inter-sectoral conflicts, ecological problems, innovation chaos, displacement of people from traditional occupations, migration and gender concerns. International policies including exim, eco-labeling and EU regulations have also brought in some socio-legal issues in the course of their implementation. ; Not Available

Since 2015, there have been over a hundred instances of mob-lynching. Many of these incidents victimise people from discriminated groups (Dalits, Muslims, Christians, tribals, etc.) on the basis of allegations of cow slaughter, cow smuggling, cattle theft, etc. There have been more cases of extreme mob violence and lynching in which death, injury and trauma have occured for attempting of child-snatching or organ harvesting. Although the victims are targeted for different reasons, these incidents have in common mobs of vigilantes who use peer-to-peer messaging applications such as WhatsApp to spread lies about the victims, and use misinformation to mobilise, defend, and in some cases to document and broadcast images of their violence. Mob lynching is a term used to describe the acts of violence targeted by a large group of people. The violence is tantamount to a crime against a human body or property- both public as well as private. The mob believes that they are punishing the victim for doing something wrong (not necessarily illegal) and they take the law in their own hands to punish the alleged accused without following any rules of law. It is basically an affront to the Rule of law and to the exalted values of the Constitution itself. Lynching by unruly mobs and barbaric violence arising out of instigation cannot be allowed to become the order of the day. Mob violence is an obnoxious slur on our legal system. It stems from the perverse notion of vigilantism and leads to anarchy. Such excrescence needs to be curbed with an iron hand. Law is the mightiest sovereign in a civilized society. If emulated by the Union and other State governments, such a sterling law could substantially prevent hate attacks, ensure public officials are faithful to their constitutional responsibilities and victims, and that their families and communities are assured of protection and justice. In majority of the cases, the reason for mob lynchings has been 'cow slaughter'. The conviction rate in cases of lynching is as low as 16 per ...

Children represent the country and are the future of the country. The problem of juvenile delinquency is not new. It occurs in all societies simple as well as complex. In developing country like India the problem of juvenile neglect and delinquency is considerably low but gradually increasing. Considering the magnitude of the problem and issues involved, analysis indicate that the number of factors responsible for juvenile delinquency are interrelated, based on socio-economic and psychological reasons. "Juvenile Delinquency†refers to anti social or illegal behaviour by children or adolescence, and these children who commit crimes come under the jurisdiction of Juvenile court. In India there is legislative history to control and combat Juvenile Delinquency. The latest being the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 in the wake of the Delhi gang rape case where a juvenile was accused among the others. Prior to the 2015 Act the juveniles were treated leniently but under the 2015 Act a juvenile between 16-18 years is meted out with the same punishment as that of an adult. The 2015 Act deals with 'child in conflict with law' and 'child in need of care and protection' According to the Act, 'Juvenile' means a child below the age of 18 years. India signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), 1989, which treated a person as a juvenile who is below 18 years of age.
