Leesama Joseph was appointed in 1996 to the post of Typist/clerk in the Police Department on compassionate grounds, after her brother had passed away during service. She undisputedly suffered from Post Polio Residual Paralysis (L) Lower Limb and her permanent disability had been assessed at 55%. Leesama was promoted to the position of Upper Division Clerk and Cashier, but she initiated a litigation claiming that she was entitled to reservation in promotion on account of her disability, and therefore should get her benefits from a back date, i.e. the date she became entitled for promotion.

The Kerala Administrative Tribunal declined her plea but the High Court decided in her favour.

Tune is as we see how the Supreme Court interpreted Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995.

Specific Performance

Season 2 · Episode 11

Monday, May 31, 2021 • Duration 13:00

Where the contract for no fault of the plaintiff becomes impossible, Section 21 of Specific Relief Act, 1963 enables award of compensation in lieu and substitution of the specific performance. So far as the determination of the amount of compensation, it has been held that the compensation awarded under the Land Acquisition Act may safely be taken to be the measure of damages subject, of course, to the deduction therefrom of money value of the services, time and energy expended by the original land owner in pursuing the claims of compensation and the expenditure incurred by him in the litigation culminating in the award.

Appearing to be Guilty

Season 2 · Episode 10

Sunday, May 16, 2021 • Duration 16:34

“The presumption of innocence is the general law of the land as every man is presumed to be innocent unless proven to be guilty. Alternatively, certain statutory presumptions in relation to certain class of offences have been raised against the accused whereby the presumption of guilt prevails till the accused discharges his burden upon an onus being cast upon him under the law to prove himself to be innocent. Section 319 CrPC springs out of the doctrine judex damnatur cum nocens absolvitur (Judge is condemned when guilty is acquitted) and this doctrine must be used as a beacon light while explaining the

ambit and the spirit underlying the enactment of Section 319 CrPC.

It is the duty of the court to do justice by punishing the real culprit. Where the investigating agency for any reason does not array one of the real culprits as an accused, the court is not powerless in calling the said accused to face trial. The question remains under what circumstances and at what stage should the court exercise its power as contemplated in Section 319 CrPC?”

Tune in as we discover how the Supreme Court answered this question with respect to Section 319 CrPC.

Cause Title: Sartaj Singh v. State of Haryana & Ors.

Case Number: Crl. Appeal 298-299 of 2021
