IMPORTANT JUDGMENT ON VAKALATNAMA
In one of its ongoing requests, the Bombay High Court has forced expenses of ₹10, 000 on three candidates after they were not able clarify a produced thumb impact on the Vakalatnama for their situation.The Court additionally guided its library to record a criminal objection in the issue.
It thus observed,
"It is trite that a person seeking equitable relief from the Court must approach the Court with clean hands. If the Court finds that such a person has not approached the Court with clean hands and has taken resort to means which are highly questionable, not only would he be dis-entitled to any relief from the Court but would also be liable to face such other action as is contempt in law, more particularly under the Indian Penal Code."
The order came out when the Court was hearing a writ plea filed by four petitioners seeking to quash an order by an Additional Collector (Encroachment/Eviction) and a High-Power Committee of the State Government
The Court noted that the petitioners, this year had sought to withdraw their plea.However, one of the respondents, through Learned Counsel pointed out that the fourth petitioner, Rakesh Thomas Jadhav, was not a resident of India and that he had not given instructions to file the present plea on his behalf.Then also, his name was incorporated in the list of Petitioners.To support this, a thumb impression stated to be his was embossed on the Vakalatnama. Learned Counsel further submitted that the petitioner had earlier put the signature on a complaint before the Police.It was noted that if the petitioner could sign on the complaint before the Police, it was unlikely that he would put a thumb impression on the Vakalatnama.Finding substance in the arguement, the Court directed that the remaining three petitioners to explain why the fourth petitioner had only affixed his thumb impression on the Vakalatnama when his signature on the Police complaint clearly indicated that he wasn't an illiterate person and that he was capable fo signing documents.The Court wasn't satisfied with the replies submitted by the petitioners.This is one of the top most legal judgements in India.
Therefore, in the end, it concluded that the petition was filed on behalf of the fourth petitioner without his instructions or by forging his thumb impression on Vakalatnama.The Court observed on this,"Court is of the view that Petitioners have not only not approached the Court with clean hands but their conduct appears to be contumacious as well, besides attracting relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code."

The Witness Protection Scheme, 2018 has been approved by the Supreme Court in its landmark judgement of Mahendra Chawla v. Union of India,
The Witness Protection Scheme, 2018 has been approved by the Supreme Court in its landmark judgement of Mahendra Chawla v. Union of India, making it the first attempt to bring the protection of witness under the ambit of law and putting the responsibility on the State to implement it effectively.
HIGHLIGHTS
Supreme Court approved the government's draft Witness Protection Scheme
States have been asked to follow the draft rules until a law is made
The scheme prescribes a number of measures to be taken to protect a witness
The Supreme Court today gave its seal of approval to a draft witness protection plan prepared by the government. The plan, called the Witness Protection Scheme, will have to be implemented by all states, except Jammu and Kashmir (which has a separate constitution), until Parliament turns the draft into law, the Supreme Court ruled today.
A Supreme Court bench headed by Justice A K Sikri said it has made some changes to the draft plan, which has been prepared by the Centre in consultation with the states.
The hearing in the Supreme Court today was on a petition that had sought protection for witnesses in the rape cases involving Asaram Bapu. (Witnesses in those cases have come under sometimes fatal attacks.)
During a previous hearing, the government had told the Supreme Court that it had formed a draft witness protection scheme that would be turned into a law "in due course".
Until then, the government said, the Supreme Court could ask states to follow this draft scheme.
Today, the Supreme Court did just that, asking states to follow the draft Witness Protection Scheme until it is made into a law.
According to a previous draft published by the government, the Witness Protection Scheme allows for various measures that must be undertaken in order to protect people who appear as witnesses in criminal cases.
This could range from ensuring that witnesses do not come face-to-face with the accused to giving them close proximity protection.
Some of the other protective measures include monitoring of mail and phone calls, change of phone number, installation of CCTV cameras at the witness's home and concealment of identity.
In exceptional cases, the government can also help change a witness's identity.
Attorney-Client Privilege In India
A "privileged professional communication" is a protection awarded to a communication between the legal adviser and the client. Professional communications and confidential communications with the legal advisors have been accorded protection under The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 ("the Act").

The Fifth Amendment (Amendment V) to the United States Constitution
The Fifth Amendment (Amendment V) to the United States Constitution addresses criminal procedure and other aspects of the Constitution. It was ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights. The Fifth Amendment applies to every level of the government, including the federal, state, and local levels, as well as any corporation, private enterprise, group, or individual, or any foreign government in regard to a US citizen or resident of the US. The Supreme Court furthered the protections of this amendment through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
One provision of the Fifth Amendment requires that felonies be tried only upon indictment by a grand jury. Another provision, the Double Jeopardy Clause, provides the right of defendants to be tried only once in federal court for the same offense. The self-incrimination clause provides various protections against self-incrimination, including the right of an individual to not serve as a witness in a criminal case in which they are the defendant. "Pleading the Fifth" is a colloquial term often used to invoke the self-incrimination clause when witnesses decline to answer questions where the answers might incriminate them. In the 1966 case of Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court held that the self-incrimination clause requires the police to issue a Miranda warning to criminal suspects interrogated while under police custody. The Fifth Amendment also contains the Takings Clause, which allows the federal government to take private property for public use if the government provides "just compensation."
Like the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment includes a due process clause stating that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The Fifth Amendment's due process clause applies to the federal government, while the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause applies to state governments. The Supreme Court has interpreted the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause as providing two main protections: procedural due process, which requires government officials to follow fair procedures before depriving a person of life, liberty, or property, and substantive due process, which protects certain fundamental rights from government interference. The Supreme Court has also held that the Due Process Clause contains a prohibition against vague laws and an implied equal protection requirement similar to the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
loco parentis,
The term in loco parentis, Latin for "in the place of a parent" refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from English common law, it is applied in two separate areas of the law.
The term in loco parentis, Latin for "in the place of a parent"[1] refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from English common law, it is applied in two separate areas of the law.
First, it allows institutions such as colleges and schools to act in the best interests of the students as they see fit, although not allowing what would be considered violations of the students' civil liberties.[1]
Second, this doctrine can provide a non-biological parent to be given the legal rights and responsibilities of a biological parent if they have held themselves out as the parent.[2]
The in loco parentis doctrine is distinct from the doctrine of parens patriae, the psychological parent doctrine, and adoption.[3]

one per cent additional court fee payable under Section 76 of the Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act ('the Act' for short) is leviable only in the manner provided for under Section 4A of the Act.

The petitioner seeks a declaration that the one per cent additional court fee payable under Section 76 of the Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act ('the Act' for short) is leviable only in the manner provided for under Section 4A of the Act.
2. Section 76 of the Act providing for constitution of the Legal Benefit Fund has been amended by virtue of the provisions contained in the Kerala Finance Bill, 2016. As per the amended Section 76, the Government is competent to levy an additional court fee, by notification in the Gazette, in respect of suits, at a rate not exceeding one per cent of the amount involved in the dispute in cases where it is capable of valuation and in other cases at a rate not exceeding one hundred rupees for each original suit. In exercise of the power conferred by the amended Section 76 of the Act, Ext.P1 notification was issued by WP.(C).No.26697/2016-J.
which the Government have authorised levy by the civil courts an additional court fee in respect of each original suit at the rate of one per cent of the amount involved in the dispute in cases where it is capable of valuation and in other cases at a rate not exceeding one hundred rupees for each original suit. The case of the petitioner is that he intends to file a suit before the Sub Court, Thalassery for realisation of certain amounts allegedly due from the Government and since the civil courts are insisting payment of the additional court fee provided for under Section 76 of the Act in lump sum, as a practice, he is constrained to pay large amounts by way of court fee at the time of institution of the suit itself. According to the petitioner, in the light of the provisions contained in Section 4A of the Act, only one tenth of the additional court fee payable under Section 76 can be levied at the time of institution of the suit and the balance can be levied only as provided for under the said Section. It is specifically pleaded by the petitioner in the writ petition that on account of the aforesaid practice, he is required to pay a sum of Rs.4,51,225/- towards additional court fee payable under Section 76 of the Act, at the time of institution of the proposed suit itself. WP.(C).No.26697/2016-J.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader.
4. Section 76 of the Act, as amended by virtue of the Kerala Finance Bill, 2016 reads thus:
"76. Legal Benefit Fund:- (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act or any other law for the time being in force, it shall be competent for the Government to levy an additional Court-fee, by notification in the Gazette, in respect of original petitions, original applications, appeals or revisions to tribunals or appellate authorities and original suits in civil court at a rate not exceeding one per cent of the amount involved in the dispute in cases where it is capable of valuation and in other cases at a rate not exceeding one hundred rupees for each original suit, original petition, original application, appeal or revision.
(2) There shall be constituted a Legal Benefit Fund to which shall be credited-
(i) the proceeds of the additional Court-fee levied and collected under sub-section (1);
(ii) fifty per cent of the Court-fees levied and collected on mukhtarnama or vakalatnama under Article 16 of Schedule II of this Act.
(3) The fund constituted under sub-section (2) shall be applied and utilised for the purpose of providing an efficient legal service for the people of the State and to provide social security measures for the legal profession.
WP.(C).No.26697/2016-J.
(4) The mode and manner in which legal service to the people may be made more efficient and social security measures for legal profession may be provided, shall be as prescribed by rules made by Government."
A plain reading of Section 76 of the Act would indicate beyond doubt that it provides for constitution of a Legal Benefit Fund making use of a portion of the court fee levied under the Act. True, the statute provides for an additional levy for the said purpose. But, merely for the reason that the statute provides for an additional levy for constitution of the Legal Benefit Fund, the character of the levy will not be changed. So long as there is no change in the character of the levy, there cannot be any change in the mode of levy also. The mode of levy of court fee under the Act is dealt with under Section 4A of the Act. Section 4A of the Act provides categorically that it applies to every fee chargeable under the Act. Section 4A of the Act reads thus:
"4A. Levy of fee at the time of institution of suit:-
Notwithstanding anything contained in any other provisions of this Act, the amount of fee to be paid on plaint at the time of institution of suit shall be one-tenth of the amount of fee chargeable under this Act and the balance amount shall be paid within such period, not later than fifteen days from the date of framing of issues or where framing of issues is not necessary, WP.(C).No.26697/2016-J.
within such period not exceeding fifteen days as may be specified by the Court:
Provided that the Court may, for sufficient reasons to be recorded in writing, extend the period up to thirty days:
Provided further that if the parties settle the dispute within the period, specified or extended by the Court for the payment of the balance amount, the plaintiff shall not be called upon to pay such balance."
In the said circumstances, it is explicit that the additional court fee payable under Section 76 of the Act can be levied only as provided for under Section 4A of the Act. The petitioner, in the circumstances, is entitled to succeed.
In the result, the writ petition is allowed and it is declared that the one per cent additional court fee payable under Section 76 of the Act can be levied only in the manner provided for under Section 4A of the Act.
