Case Analysis on Kehwananda Bharti V/S State of Kerala and ANR, On 24th April...ijtsrd
The Supreme Court delivered its judgment in the Kesavananda Bharati case on April 24, 1973 after hearing the case for 68 days. The judgment was significant as it established the 'basic structure' doctrine - that Parliament can amend the Constitution as long as it does not alter its basic structure or essential features.
The case arose from land reform laws passed by the Kerala government that affected a Hindu mutt. It challenged recent constitutional amendments passed by Indira Gandhi's government to override previous Supreme Court judgments. The 13-judge bench delivered split verdicts but ultimately upheld the amendments while establishing the basic structure doctrine, balancing parliamentary sovereignty and judicial review. It refused to recognize property rights as a basic feature, paving way for
Asylum provides shelter and protection by a host state to citizens of another state. There are two kinds of asylum: territorial asylum, which is granted within a state's own territory where it has sovereignty, and extra-territorial asylum, which can be granted outside a state's territory in places like embassies, consulates, warships, or international institutions in some cases. Extra-territorial asylum allows states to protect individuals in other states by granting protection in areas considered under the host state's jurisdiction rather than the local state.
The document summarizes the key concepts of the historical school of jurisprudence. It discusses that historical jurists like Montesquieu, Savigny, and Maine believed that law develops organically over time based on the customs and traditions of the people, rather than being created through legislation or judicial decisions.

The historical school rejected theories of natural law and viewed law as continually evolving according to the changing needs and norms of society.

This document discusses affirmative action policies for castes in India. It provides background on the caste system and historical discrimination faced by lower castes. The constitution includes provisions for affirmative action to promote equal opportunity and protect disadvantaged groups. Current policies include quotas for government jobs, education admissions, and legislative seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. However, caste-based discrimination and disparities persist, indicating more work is needed to fully address social exclusion. The document argues that affirmative action policies aim to promote justice and should continue in order to eliminate the root causes of caste oppression in India.
The document discusses India's reservation system which aims to promote access to education and employment for disadvantaged groups. It outlines the current reservation quotas of 45% for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other backward classes. While supporters see reservations as promoting social justice and representation, critics argue it hampers meritocracy and has created feelings of discrimination. The document examines various types of reservations including those based on caste, gender, religion and employment. It also discusses the pros and cons of the system as well as proposed solutions like tracking benefits and limiting reservations to the first two children in a family.
Reservation in India provides quotas for underrepresented groups in government jobs and public education. The current system reserves 49.5% of seats for Scheduled Castes (15%), Scheduled Tribes (7.5%), and Other Backward Classes (27%). Critics argue this deprives more qualified general category candidates of opportunities and has slowed India's development, while supporters counter that it aims to promote equality after historical discrimination. Long-term consequences are still debated, as the population of reserved groups has grown but caste-based data is not officially collected. Some general category communities are now demanding their own reservations.

TEXTO: JEREMIAS 38:19-20
INTRODUCCION
En el texto que hemos leído vemos el momento de angustia que el rey Sedequias tenía cuando Jerusalén estaba rodeada por el ejército babilonio.
En ese momento de angustia la respuesta del profeta Jeremías fue: oye la voz de Jehová y te ira bien y vivirás.
Quizás este día nos sentimos preocupados por las situaciones que estamos enfrentando o nos sentimos llenos de incertidumbre por aquellos proyectos de nuestra vida que estamos por iniciar, por esas metas que nos hemos propuesto alcanzar este año.
Que nos dice la voz de Dios este dia a cada uno de nosotros: FILIPENSES 4:13 “Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece”
Tenemos que escuchar la voz de nuestro Dios por sobre cualquier voz en nuestra vida,
I)DEBEMOS ESCUCHAR LA VOZ DE DIOS POR SOBRE LA VOZ DE LA EXPERIENCIA (LUCAS 5:4-6)
La voz de la experiencia es una autoridad, eso es real, pues la experiencia es el conocimiento aprendido por haber realizado algo, por haberlo vivido o sufrido, la experiencia es importante, pero por sobre la autoridad de la experiencia esta la voz de Dios.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML): What It Is, Its History, and How It Works
What Is Anti-Money Laundering (AML)?
Anti-money laundering is an international web of laws, regulations, and procedures aimed at uncovering money that has been disguised as legitimate income.

Money laundering is the concealment of the origins of money gained from crimes, including tax evasion, human trafficking, drug trafficking, and public corruption. It also includes money being illegally routed to terrorist organizations.1
