focuses on the appropriation of \u2018faith\u2019 as a legitimate right under the emerging discourse of secularism endorsed by the Hindu Right. This is reflected in the Ayodhya decision which strengthens such redefining of the meaning of the right to freedom of religion in majoritarian terms. The Ayodhya judgment has been analyzed and critiqued as appropriating the discourse of formal equality and religious tolerance to provide an essentialist picture of Indian secularism favoring the agenda of the right wing Hindu nationalists. It argues in favour of a robust right to freedom of religion in a way that defends the rights of worship of Muslims, and in the process rescues one of the central planks of Indian secularism. <br \/>Ratna Kapur, Jindal Global Law Review, Volume 3, Issue 1, September 2011, 1:20 ISSN 0975-2498.[\/expand]<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>2.

The author critically analyses the responses the Indian Supreme Court has made to questions of addressing basic rights under the framework of Article 21 and the Right to Life of the Indian Constitution.

India has a strong legal regime to regulate tobacco activity and to protect the rights of non-smokers. It, inter alia, prohibits smoking of tobacco in public places. Landmark court decisions have held that smoking of tobacco in public places is unconstitutional and violates the right to life of non-smokers. The law, however, is not implemented effectively. Participation of the general public is critical in ensuring effective implementation of the law. Creative use of the Consumer Protection Act is a way to secure participation of the general public in effective implementation of the Tobacco Act. <br \/>Ajay Pandey, Jindal Global Law Review, Volume 3, Issue 1, September 2011, 61:86, ISSN 0975-2498.[\/expand]<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>5.

Many issues ranging from one\u2019s relating to judicial accountability to that of judicial activism vis-a\u0300-vis judicial independence have been subject matters of intense debate. Lack of proper understanding of the concept of independence of judiciary has been the main cause for undesirable delay in effectively addressing such issues. There is an imperative need to understand that the concept of independence of judiciary is much wider than mere separation of judiciary from legislature and the executive. It not only emphasizes on non-interference of legislature and the executive in the judicial proceedings but also requires the judiciary to remain independent. Judiciary\u2019s duty to remain independent implies, inter alia, duty of the higher judiciary to allow the subordinate judiciary to remain independent and duty not to overreach on the legislative and executive domain in the name of judicial activism, which leads to fusion of power \u2013 an antithesis of separation of power. Judicial independence depends largely on judges themselves.<br \/>P. Puneeth, Jindal Global Law Review, Volume 3, Issue 1, September 2011, 87:104, ISSN 0975-2498.

It argues that the Union Government would be better advised to preserve and update the current deeds registration system of the Registration Act. Torrens registration is ill-suited to the current state of Indian governance, and risks not only wasting scarce resources, but injuring those millions of low-income farmers that it is intended to assist. Better methods of empowering low-income rural farmers exist and can be achieved at much lower cost.
