Question 595. Recently, why ‘Cabotage Law’ was in news; consider the following statements in regard to it:
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
- It states that only Indian flagged vessels can handle coastal cargo.
- Government recently tightened the cabotage law in order to reduce the illegal movement of cargo through coastal water.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: Option C. -> 1 only
Answer: (c)
The relaxation of Cabotage Law for Vallarpadam terminal augurs well for Gateway Distriparks, which may see an improvement in CFS volumes in the coming quarters. Its CFS near the terminal is likely to attract some of the cargo. Under the existing rules of Cabotage Law, only Indian flagged vessels can handle coastal cargo.
Hence, foreign carriers transshipped India's destined cargo at Colombo or Dubai ports earlier.
This resulted in lower capacity utilization in Vallarpadam International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICCT) at Kochi, which was set up eighteen months ago. With the relaxation of the rules, foreign carriers can now handle coastal cargo through Vallarpadam ICTT.

Answer: Option B. -> Minerva Mills Case
Answer: (b)
The Directive Principles have been used to uphold the Constitutional validity of legislations in case of a conflict with the Fundamental Rights.
Article 31C, added by the 25th Amendment in 1971, provided that any law made to give effect to the Directive Principles in Article 39(d1)–(b1) would not be invalid on the grounds that they derogated from the Fundamental Rights conferred by Articles 14, 19 and 31.
The application of this article was sought to be extended to all the Directive Principles by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, but the Supreme Court struck down the extension as void on the ground that it violated the basic structure of the Constitution. Minerva Mills Ltd. and Ors. v. Union Of India and Ors. (case citation: AIR 1980 SC 1789) is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of India that applied and evolved the basic structure doctrine of the Constitution of India.
Section 4 of the 42nd Amendment, had amended Article 31C of the Constitution to accord precedence to the Directive Principles of State Policy articulated in Part IV of the Constitution over the Fundamental Rights of individuals articulated in Part III. By a verdict of 4-1, with Justice Prafullachandra Natwarlal Bhagwati dissenting, the court held section 4 of the 42nd Amendment to be unconstitutional.

Question 600. Which of the following statements are correct regarding the Fast Track Courts (FTCs) in India?
Select the answer from the code given below:
- The FTC's were started by the Central Government pursuant to the observations of the First National Judicial Pay Commission, 1999, the 120th Report of the Law Commission on Manpower Planning in the judiciary,
- The FTC's are established to expeditiously dispose of long pending cases in the Sessions Courts and long pending cases of undertrial prisoners.
- When judges were appointed to the FTCs, their service conditions were settled by the framing of rules which were done in consultation with the High Courts of the States.
Select the answer from the code given below:
Answer: Option A. -> All of the above
Answer: (a)
A unique feature of the FTCs is to prove to be cost-effective. This is so because the new courts charged with the exclusive work of disposing of undertrial cases in the first year of their existence.
A large majority of undertrials being those who had been booked for petty/minor offenses are bound to be discharged forthwith as most of them have been behind bars for periods that are longer than the punishment warranted by the offense. In plain terms, this means a huge saving in jail expenditure.
