Distinction between judgement in rem and personam.

Mathews J. Nedumpara 98205 35428 23.02.2025 Distinction between judgement in rem and personam. Proceedings in rem does not mean that a Court can, by its judgment, affect the rights of a person who is not a party before it. No court has the power to adversely affect the rights of a person who is not before it, no matter whether the proceedings are in rem or in personam. The perception that a person’s rights can be adversely affected without him on the party array for the reason that the proceedings in question is in rem, is a misconception. It only means that where a...

ONOE Bill passes muster on the basic structure!

Mathews J. Nedumpara 9820535428 12.07.2025 ONOE Bill passes muster on the basic structure! In today's Times of India, I happened to read that ex-CJIs Khehar and Chandrachud have reportedly told the JPC headed by P. P. Chowdhury that the ONOE Bill passes muster on the basic structure. I am afraid to say that I could not control my anger at the nation being fooled by a few "legal luminaries", senior lawyers, and judges uttering the mantra "basic structure" to subserve their vested interests—nay, to usurp position and power and yet escape with impunity. Using the words "basic structure", they treated Parliament as an inferior...

JUDICIAL IMMUNITY/TORTIOUS LIABILITY

Mathews J Nedumpara 98205 35428 23.06.2024.   JUDICIAL IMMUNITY/TORTIOUS LIABILITY “Rex non potest peccare”, namely that the king can do no wrong, is a fundamental principle of law. Stated in simple terms, the king is not liable for any action of his agents and servants. This concept, over the centuries, was much diluted with many an exception being accepted. Today, except judicial function, the king, namely, the sovereign, is liable for the tortious action of his delegate/trustee/servant. The sovereign immunity is not absolutely available even against the armed forces. The concept of absolute immunity which the judges of the superior courts in India enjoy and assert...
