🔆 Judicial Sensitivity to Sentiments: A Regressive Shift 📍 Key Concern ✅ Courts are increasingly prioritizing emotional hurt over constitutionally protected free speech, misinterpreting Article 19(1)(a). 📍 Disturbing Trends ✅ Judgments now equate emotive speech with incitement, promoting censorship over constitutional protection. ✅ Judiciary’s role is shifting from safeguarding rights to policing expression. 📍 Examples Cited ✅ Allahabad HC on criticising PM Modi. ✅ FIRs over historical or political opinions (e.g. war posts). ✅ Relief denied to opposition leader over military remarks. 📍 Core Argument ✅ Encouraging apologies, deference & legal scrutiny for speech undermines democracy, empowering majoritarianism. ✅ Freedom must protect offensive speech too — else it’s not freedom. #gs2 #polity_governance

📍Role and Scale of Scheme-Based Workers (SBWs) ✅Magnitude of Workforce: Over 60 million workers are employed under various central schemes like ICDS (1975), NRHM, and Mid-Day Meal Scheme, with major groups being AWWs (13.5 lakh), AWHs (9.2 lakh), ASHAs (10.5 lakh), and MDMWs (25.1 lakh). ✅Crucial Public Role: These workers serve as the backbone of the welfare state, responsible for childcare, nutrition, early education, maternal health, and school enrolment across India. ✅Recognition but No Rights: they are denied basic labour rights, minimum wages, and social security. ✅State Suppression: States like Maharashtra invoked Essential Services Maintenance Act (2017) to curb Anganwadi protests, ironically recognizing their work as “essential” without conferring corresponding rights. ✅In Ameerbi (2006), the SC denied Anganwadis “worker” status, but later relief came in Maniben (2022) where SC granted them gratuity rights under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. #gs2 #social_justice @upsc_polity_governance

🔆Presidential Reference The President of India recently referred 14 questions to the Supreme Court under Article 143. 📍There are two components of Article 143: ✅Article 143(1) allows the President to refer any question of law or fact of public importance to the Supreme Court for its advisory opinion. ✅Article 143(2) pertains to disputes involving pre-Constitutional treaties and agreements, permitting the President to refer such matters for legal clarification. ✅Nature of Opinion: The Supreme Court’s opinion is not binding on the President. It does not carry precedential value but holds strong persuasive authority and is usually followed by the executive and judiciary. ✅Historical origin: The provision originates from the Government of India Act, 1935, which empowered the Governor-General to refer legal matters to the Federal Court. ✅The President refers to the advice of the Union Council of Ministers. As per Article 145, a minimum 5-judge Bench of the Supreme Court must hear the matter.

🔆A caste census is not a silver bullet for social justice ✅The Government of India has proposed to include caste enumeration in the upcoming decennial Census, reigniting debates on the efficacy, intent, and utility of caste-based data in policymaking for social justice and welfare distribution. 📍Role and Merits of Caste Census ✅Empirical Basis for Policy ✅Intra-OBC Stratification ✅Institutionalising Enumeration 📍Limitations and Institutional Concerns ✅Misplaced Policy Pivot ✅Overburdening the Census Machinery ✅Historical Precedent of Policy without Data :Reforms like Mandal recommendations and EWS reservations were executed without exhaustive caste-based datasets, driven more by political resolve. ✅To elevate Census data as a precondition for social and economic justice or as the pivot for policymaking is a flawed and dangerous misreading of its purpose #gs2 #polity_governance
