CONNECTING GOVERNED GOVERNING & GOVERNANCE
Wishing all a very Happy Father’s Day. A father keeps the light of the Family shining. In every family a father is expected to be obeyed because of the trust and faith vested in him by all others is immutable. He is called the head of the family ; absorber of all shocks, admirer of all around. Let us think and memorise the great things done by each one’s father.
Today is International Yoga Day. Wishing all a resplendent Yoga Day. Yoga does the chemistry of mind and body correctly. Yoga maintains the equilibrium between the "sthoola shareer" and "sooshma shareer". Yoga maintains the shine and sheen of our personality. Prepares the mind to master the body.
The ultimate Yogi and Yoga teacher has given us a magnum opus on the practice of Yoga - Bhagavad Gita, the holy book, by Veda Vyasa uttered through the words of Lord Krishna. Let us learn Yoga from that Book which is 'The Book' for all to have a meaningful life.
"yatra yogesvarah krsno yatra partho dhanur-dharah tatra srir vijayo bhutir dhruva nitir matir mama"
Wherever there is Krsna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion.
Mediation Moving Towards Mainstream Dispute Resolution
LOOKING BACK TO 25TH OF JUNE 1975
'ONLY DARKNESS VISIBLE'
Emergency declared by Indira Gandhi in 1975 was a harsh reality for the people of India which no one had seen even in the wildest of dreams in the land of Mahtma Gandhi. One family held the entire nation as hostage to serve their greed. The lady of the house of Nehru-Gandhis arrogated all power to her self even pushing back the most cruel desports of history.
WEALTH ACCUMULATES, TAX IT
Government is always seeking ways to find money to reach basic amenities to the poor. Yes Government left to itself has no money. Money comes from the citizens ultimately. Still money is scarce. How to solve this puzzle. How to insource money? Government has N sources to collect cash. About one mention is made hereunder.
Wealth created under the real property. Real property is acquired through purchase, succession, partition, grant, lease, mortgage etc. You acquire real property means you acquire wealth. Whatever you pay to the exchequer is paid in the beginning only. You pay land tax-a pittance. You keep property for 50 years. It is potential wealth, cash stashed. 80% of the landed property is held by less than 10% of the citizenry. 90% of the people are deprived of holding property. There is no law in India to tax the accumulated property and held by individuals. Suppose the stamp duty you pay for purchasing a property is collected as yearly tax on the wealth created there would be a movement perceptible. With a small research a big area can be unearthed. Collection of I-T will be relegated to the background.
CONTEMPT, CONTEMPTUOUS & THE CONDEMNED
Dr.K.P.Kylasanatha Pillay
Contempt is a despicable thing. Causing contempt of the court is reprehensible. Causing contempt of the Supreme Court is horrendous. Courts are institutions of sanctified ambience. Polluting the ecosystem of the court is an offence against the court, constitution and the community. So contempt of court is contemptuous and the contemner is to be condemned for the contumacious behaviour. Here is a saga of the Supreme Court of India smouldering a contemnor who came like a mountain and chased out like a rat.

ATTACKING SUPREME COURT --
GOING BEYOND THE PERMISSIBLE LIMITS.
Supreme Court of India is criticized, a lot, these days. It has unfortunately originated from its own domain. Media takes it up; and sensationalize. It is universally admitted that the Court is supreme, but not infallible. As a peoples’ institution the Court keeps its doors wide open . Even a letter addressed to a Judge or to the Court in general is judicially acted upon, if it deserves to be acted upon. A news item in the media impacting public interest get judicial response from the court suo motu. Still, the Court is criticized, devastatingly; and without empirical verification. Words can hurt when one “speak daggers”unmindful of yesterdays and tomorrows.It is with a hurt feelings these words are penned because the Supreme Court of India is maliciously criticized these days ;indiscreetly, by those obliged to guard its honour. But the Court founded and working on high jurisprudential bases , structured on the principle of Constitutional morality and Ideals connecting justice with the sociology of law shall not be cowed down by unfounded allegations

Litigation is always fought in an acrimonious ecosystem. Urge is to score victory. Winner takes all after the forensic duel. Conspicuous by absence are moderation, sophistication, collegiality, cordiality and an intellectual camaraderie in any high voltage matter.
Our judicial process has developed collateral platforms to resolve legal disputes. They are Negotiation, Conciliation,
Mediation and Arbitration. Conventional litigation is left out to be an ultimate and unlikely event. It saves time, money, energy, and goodwill in a big way.
Supreme Court of India has played a pioneering role to inspire and enthuse the lawyers and litigants to avail the alternate
remedies. Mediation, among them, has got institutionalised, today. Recently, senior judge of the Supreme Court Mr.Justice L.Nageswara Rao in a dialogue with the President of the Commonwealth Lawyers’ Association, Mr.Brian Speers underscored the credibility and viability of Mediation . Mr. Speers and Advocate Mr. Santanakrishnan of the Supreme Court, erstwhile president of CLA, are on a proselytising mode advocating Mediation.
Watch the dialogue between Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Mr. Speers.
ARTICLE ON RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN ARBITRAL AWARD IN INDIA- AN OVERVIEW
~ Adv.K.Gireesh Kumar
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
The history of the Enforcement of Foreign Awards paved way to various enactment of special Act such as The Foreign Awards ( Recognition and Enforcement) Act-1961 to recent landmark judgments like Vijay Karia & Ors Vs Prysman Cavi Sisterni SRL & Ors . Since it is being the complex issue , the Hon’ble Courts has to go through a hair spit check of morality, justice and Public Policy while Enforcing a Foriengn Arbitration Award in India.
The basic purpose of arbitration is to bring about cost-effective and expeditious resolution of disputes and further preventing multiplicity of litigation by giving finality to an arbitral award. The article ambidextrously and comprehensively analyzes India’s Commitment and challenge to the International Arbitration in the era of globalization when the investment by the foreign entities is at the peak.
Public Policy of India has most important role in the whole process of enforcement of an arbitral awards particularly the foreign awards because it involves parties, lawyers and arbitrators form diverse legal &cultural traditions. Most often the arbitral tribunal consists of arbitrators from multiple jurisdictions & legal traditions different from those of parties and of their council.
BLUE ECONOMY
~Prof. ( Dr) V.L.Mony, Dean, Hindusthan School of Law, Chennai.
The concept was introduced by Gunter Pauli in his 2010 book- “The Blue Economy: 10 years, 100 innovations, 100 million jobs “It is the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs, and ocean ecosystem health.It advocates the greening of ocean development strategies for higher productivity and conservation of ocean's health.
It encompasses–
Renewable Energy: Sustainable marine energy can play a vital role in social and economic development.
Fisheries: Sustainable fisheries can generate more revenue, more fish and help restore fish stocks.
Maritime Transport: Over 80% of international goods traded are transported by sea.
Tourism: Ocean and coastal tourism can bring jobs and economic growth.
Climate Change: Oceans are an important carbon sink (blue carbon) and help mitigate climate change.
Waste Management: Better waste management on land can help oceans recover.
Blue Economy emphasizes on integration of development of ocean economy with social inclusion, environmental sustainability, combined with innovative business model. This is reflected in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 14), which calls to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
Need for Blue Economy
1) Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth’s surface, contain 97% of the Earth’s water, and represent 99% of the living area on the planet.
2) Oceans protect biodiversity, keep the planet cool, and absorb about 30% of global Omissions of carbon.
3) At least 3-5% of global GDP is derived from oceans.
4) Blue economy, through sustainable use of oceans, has great potential for boosting the economic growth by providing opportunities for income generation and jobs etc.
Challenges
Threat of sea borne terror – piracy and armed robbery, maritime terrorism, illicit trade in crude oil, arms, drug and human trafficking and smuggling of contraband etc.
Natural Disasters – every year tsunamis, cyclones, hurricanes typhoons etc leave thousands of people stranded and property worth millions destroyed.
Man-Made problems – Oil spills, climate change continue to risk the stability of the maritime domain.
Impact of climate change – changes in sea temperature, acidity, threaten marine life, habitats, and the communities that depend on them. Marine pollution – in form of excess nutrients from untreated sewerage, agricultural runoff, and marine debris such as plastics
Overexploitation of marine resources – illegal, unreported, and unregulated extraction of marine resources. The first global conference on the Sustainable Blue Economy was held on 26-28 November, 2018 in Nairobi Kenya. Seychelles recently launched the sovereign Blue Bonds.
Blue Bond
Seychelles became the first country in the world to launch sovereign Blue Bonds.
It is a debt instrument issued by governments, development banks etc to raise capital from investors to finance marine and ocean-based projects.
It will help in expansion of marine protected areas, improved governance of priority fisheries and the development of the Seychelles’ blue economy.
The blue bond is inspired by the green bond concept.
Blue Economy for India
Blue economy presents India with an unprecedented opportunity to meet its national socio-economic objectives as well as strengthen connectivity with neighbors.
Blue Economy can help in focusing on livelihood generation, achieving energy security, building ecological resilience, and improving health and living standards of coastal communities.
Blue economy would reinforce and strengthen the efforts of the Indian government as it strives to achieve the SDGs of hunger and poverty eradication along with sustainable use of marine resources by 2030.
India has a long coastline of 7,517 km covering nine states and two union territories – with an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.02 mn. sq.km.
Marine services sector could serve as the backbone of its blue economy and help India become 10 trillion dollar economy by 2022.
Indian Ocean is a major conduit of trade with as much as 80% of global oil trade happening through it.
Better connectivity in the region will significantly cut the transport cost and maritime wastage of resources making the trade sustainable and cost effective.
Developments Initiated by India
The Sagarmala project is the strategic initiative for port-led development through the extensive use of IT enabled services for modernization of ports.
Sagarmala Project
Project aims at developing Inland waterways and coastal shipping which will revolutionize maritime logistics, creating million new jobs, reduce logistics costs etc.
It focuses on the development of coastal communities and people in the sustainable use of ocean resources, modern fishing techniques and coastal tourism.
India has an umbrella scheme by the name of O-SMART which aims at regulated use of oceans, marine resources for sustainable development.
Integrated Coastal Zone Management focuses on conservation of coastal and marine resources, and improving livelihood opportunities for coastal communities etc.
Development of Coastal Economic Zones (CEZ) under Sagarmala would become a microcosm of the blue economy, wherein industries and townships that depend on the sea will contribute to global trade.
India has a National Fisheries policy for promoting 'Blue Growth Initiative' which focus on sustainable utilization of fisheries wealth from the marine and other aquatic resources.
Way Forward
India should look to adopt the Gandhian approach of balancing economic benefits with sustainability for meeting the broader goals of growth, employment generation, equity and protection of environment.
India must focus on marine ICTs, and transport (shipping) and communication services, and the creation of a knowledge hub for marine research and development.
An effective response mechanism to address humanitarian crises and natural disasters should be made for the evolving Indian Ocean security strategy.
India should not look at its oceans as just water bodies, but as global stage for continued economic, social, and cultural dialogue.
CONSTITUTION ABOVE CONTROVERSY
Constitution today is in the custody of the Supreme Court. It is under guard of the protective cover of judicial review. Countermajoritarians say that the Court oversteps the popular mandate; those applaud the Court say that the governments of all colours abuse the popular mandate. Here is an authentic and scholarly statement of the the constitutional jurisprudence surrounding the issue by a most competent and resourceful legal and juristic personality. An equilibrium is maintained in the most dexterous style by Mr.Justice L.Nageswara Rao, Supreme court of India.
DANCING TO THE TUNES OF THE MUSIC OF DEVOTION
Talented steps and body language expressed in the most meticulous and mellifluous way. The captivating performance of the women on their legs inspires aestheticism and spirituality of a higher order which draws us closer to Devi’s aura and blessings. Let us applaud the performers led by Ms.Smitha.

DIPLOMACY AND DIPLOMATIC LESSONS FROM RAMAYAN
Religious texts are really treasure houses of secular and philosophic knowledge. In India the two classics, Ramayan and Maha Bharath , are perennial sources of knowledge other than spiritual, ritualistic, and devotional. There is political science, art and architecture,high quality literary contents,behavioural sciences and knowledge chunks of biological science,human physiology,statecraft, social sciences etc. In statecraft ,diplomacy is an invariable ingredient. Diplomacy includes strategy, tactics,use of intelligence and wisdom, planning with policy etc. Ramayan and Maha Bharat abound in use of diplomacy by all characters and situations. The lessons of diplomacy we learn from Ramayan is illustrious, instructive and informative and above all interesting. The video attached gives some ideas of diplomatic dispositions of some of the characters who tackle the situations faced by them. As the book tells the story of the rule of a kingdom , ascendency to the throne, succession, negotiations of treaties, war and its aftermath , engagement of diplomatic designs,agenda and programmes knowingly and spontaneously occur.Lord Rama’s exile in forest, the circumstances attending the event, responses of the characters, and reactions involve diplomacy in its finite stage. Life in the forest, abduction of Sitadevi by the demon king Ravan, the activities associated with it and the ultimate war between Lord Rama and Ravan with the deployment of two armies are punctuated by diplomatic exercises. A lot many lessons are to be learned from the text and context of Ramayan which tells us the pragmatism of diplomacy. The attached video speaks of it in vernacular.
READ RAMAYAN AND REMOVE THE DARKNESS VISIBLE IN THE MIND
For every human being life is a perpetual struggle for existence. One has to survive every situation. Life presents a lot of situation reaction tests. For succeeding in the trials and tribulations of life one must be positive, optimistic and productive. Ramayan is a treasure house for learning the art of survival- to survive successfully. Ramayan removes the darkness of our minds and thereby the darkness from our lives. Yes, go to Ramayan to see and enjoy the bliss of human birth.

Dr. V. L. Mony, Professor and Dean , Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science and Patron to CG3 will be remembered for his outstanding academic contribution and sterling personal qualities. Dr. Moni is a post graduate in Commerce from Kerala University , who subsequently pursued law as his carrier. He did his LLB from Kerala Law Academy Law College and obtained post graduation in Business Laws ( MBL) as well as LL.M. in International Laws from Kerala University . He pursued Ph.D from Berhampur University , Odisha in Human Rights Law in the year 2006 and also obtained LL.D from the same University in 2013 on enforcement of Intellectual property rights in India.
Dr Mony had a formidable intellect and a keenly curious mind that brooked no silos. It easily transported itself across contexts — whether it was human rights issues intellectual property violations, works in social sectors such as health and education or working with government on policy.
Mony sir, as he was warmly referred to in his circles, was a kind soul with an incredible work ethic. His passionate approach to the field of law earned him numerous accolades. He was a giant in the field of legal education. He spearheaded numerous institutions working in various capacities, some of which include Executive Director of VIPS, Professor and Associate Dean, Sela Qui College of Law, Dehradun, Sr.Associate Professor, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Executive Director, Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies and Principal, Kerala Law Academy Law College which was his alma matter.
Dr.Mony, who was an industrious personality was not one to take breaks from his work but was one who took pleasure in his work. He was always immersed in one project or other. As a result of which he authored numerous books including Handbook on Company Law and Private international Law (conflicts of laws), Central Law publication and Notes on law of evidence 1st Edition, Asia Law House. He was not in the habit of saying no and was always supportive of new endeavors and adventures. His relation with CG3 was profound and positive. He was one of the patrons of CG3 and was an immense supporter of CG3’s objectives. He was instrumental to the conduct of numerous seminars and projects organised by CG3. His absence is deeply felt. The Covid – 19 pandemic takes a heavy toll on us all by wresting Dr. V L Mony from us.
Dr. Mony will definitely live through his works, in his students’ memories and through the many present day academics that he has taught, guided and mentored.
