[IMC Bombay] Invitation

[huright]

Dear Friends,

 

 
You are invited to a workshop on
 
MALIMATH COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: 
ISSUES AND PERSPECTIVE
And release of Justice H. Suresh's Book "Fundamental Rights as Human Rights"

 

The workshop is aimed at an analysis of the proposals and recommendations of the Justice Malimath Committee for the reform of the Criminal Justice System. 

It is felt that the recommendations of the committee are aimed not at achieving justice, but at simply making it easier for the State to get convictions in Criminal trials.  The recommendations, if accepted, would stand in the way of natural justice and fairness. 

This workshop, is one of a series of meetings, that will take place all over the country, to make people aware of this negative side of the recommendations and how it could affect us.  We therefore call upon you to attend the workshop and participate actively in it.

"FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AS HUMAN RIGHTS" by Justice H. Suresh, (Retd). and published by Sabrang Publications will  be released on the day.
