The Speaker of Lok Sabha can be removed from office only on a resolution of the House passed by a majority of all the then members of the House. Such a resolution has to satisfy some conditions like: it should be specific with respect to the charges and it should not contain arguments, inferences, ironical expressions, imputations or defamatory statements, etc. Not only these, discussions should be confined to charges referred to in the resolution. It is also mandatory to give a minimum of 14 days' notice of the intention to move the resolution.

Asked by Wiki User

The regulations and legal requirements for creating a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) are different in different jurisdictions. Also, A NGO may be formed based on diverse legal structures as for example as a foundation, trust, association, etc.

Depending on the form you want to give to your project and in the jurisdiction where the new organization will have its base and headquarters, you will need to follow up on some requirements.

Your best source of information about the requirements in your jurisdiction, is your tax authority or a lawyer specialized in commercial law.

Is adultery illegal in Indiana?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Although there is no law explicitly prohibiting it, same-sex marriage is not legal in India and same-sex marriage performed elsewhere is not recognized in India. Same-sex couples can have a Hindu wedding in India, but they cannot register their marriage with the government and they will not be considered legally married, despite the fact that a heterosexual couple doing the same thing are considered married. The majority of marriages in India are never registered with the state and marriage laws dictate that any two Hindus who marry according to the Hindu rite are legally married in India.

Asked by Wiki User

Applicants are required to provide their Ward/Circle, Range and Commissioner details alongwith AO Code details in the application. These details can be obtained either from the Income Tax Office or an applicant can search for the same by selecting the appropriate option using the details provided in the form. You can get the area code(AO), range, ward from the UTI center where you are going to submit your PAN application form. You can get the list of pan center from http://www.tin-nsdl.com/ Once can also call local IT Pan Card Service Centre‎ (for example +91 40 66682233‎ for Hyderabad) Please find more users' experiences and information here: http://unclesamindia.blogspot.com/2008/10/finding-ao-code-while-applying-pan-card.html OR The best thing is to get details from the counter where your submitting the PAN application form. These are the people authorized by NSDL, present in every city across India. Even if your applying online, you can always get these details from their office.

Finally visiting the local income tax office is the best option. But Income Tax people are always pathetic like the other Government people.

Difference between Non judicial stamp paper and Judicial stamp paper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Judicial and non-judicial stamp papers both are issued by court with a certain validity period & purpose mentioned at the back of stamp paper.

If a person or a community gives a guarantee, say for a certain performance of work on judicial stamp to the 2nd party and if he didn't perform that work. Then to forfeit the guarantee amount given by 1st party, the 2nd party has to request to Court and the court will actually forfeit the amount and provide it to the 2nd party. It will not be the case if the guarantee will be on non-judicial stamp paper. In the second case the sufferer (2nd party) simply forfeits the guarantee amount from the 1st party's bank without concerning court or even 1st party itself and it will be a legal action.

Judicial activism and judicial restraint in India?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

(note: this explanation assumes understanding of several U.S. landmark cases) Judicial activism is closely tied with the personal standpoint of "liberal." It is basically being more "activist" or more in turn with "adding" to the U.S. Constitution rather than merely interpreting it (judicial restraint). Three major cases that have been touted as judicial activism abuse include Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Brown v. Board of Education (abortion, homosexuality, and racial segregation, respectively). Without judicial activism, the U.S. would still be stuck with the Dredd Scott decision and Plessy v. Ferguson, regarding African Americans' rights. Without judicial activism, Lochner v. New York would stand as a legal precendent, and the minimum wage would be illegal on the basis that it violates the right to business contracts. Additionally, it could be argued that judicial activism is necessary because it is difficult to decide court cases based on the U.S. Constitution when the framers' are long dead, their intent unknown, and the Constitution written in an age before the modern or digital age.
