  • 6. Unique Identity Card Introduction of the UID into the system would thus do away with the unnecessary formalities of certain documents and would save a lot of time there. Verification through the use of UID Cards could be done in a very cost effective way. Further it can also be said that usage of the UID would also prove to be a very robust way of elimination of duplicate and fake identities. But the suggestion here could be for a more informative database to be maintained for an individual under the UID card as they would be immensely helpful to keep a track on the person’s transactions. UID Card Medical history Social activity and traveling check-in Each billing/ transaction s record Govt. subsidies Unique identity should be provided to every citizen like US/UK Govt. that keeps the database of each and every activity of a citizens it will keep all the records of transactions made at any place example hospitals, banks etc. each transactions will be done by unique identification no. this will help the court to access information about any citizen immediately without approaching him through traditional ways. Basic Identity Proof: The Unique Identity cards would act as the basic and the simplest identity proof with all the details of an individual mentioned on the card. Instead of providing for several documents like address proofs and identity proofs, providing it would suffice. It would undoubtedly prove as an instant gateway into the legal, in general and to certain extent social domain of a citizen, certainly “The Most Dependable Identity” and needless to mention, it would be the most valid government document. Ensures Universality: The UID Card provides an individual with universality and he would be identified anywhere, throughout the country. Prevents Cheating and Duplicity: The UID Card provides each individual with a unique identification number, which is provided by a system that is wholly computerized and centralized. This eliminates the problem of cheating and duplicity.

At the same time there are practical difficulties existing in its working. Plea Bargaining involves an active negotiation process whereby offender is allowed to confess his guilt in court if he so desires in exchange of lighter punishment that would have been fixed for such offence. For accused it would be advantageous as getting out of jail, resolving the matter quickly, having fewer or less serious offences on one's record, avoiding hassles of finding a good lawyer for preparing for trial, avoiding publicity etc would be there. For Judges this provision would be really beneficial as it would help them manage cases The provision for Plea Bargaining is enshrined in Sec 265 A & B of Criminal Procedure Code.

  • 10. Thank You JAI HIND, JAI BHARAT As a group of young individuals, we believe in being the change we want to see in the world. Samanvay is our little contribution to this change. Through the model programme that we initiate and organize, we hope to touch the lives of people. We understand the importance of building dreams on a strong foundation. Hence, we are the young students by day and teachers by the evening. We know the need to take the law to those who are unaware of it but need it the most. So, we have awareness programme, legal aid camps, free teaching classes for poor kids etc. We also believe in reaching out and spreading our message to the society through public events like nukkadnataks and cultural evenings with those who form part of the society closest to where we live.
