Once a retired judge was travelling in train. The person sitting on next seat was father of a convict whom he had given death.
He was earlier a District and Sessions Judge in a district in Uttar Pradesh.
After retirement he was practising as lawyer in Supreme Court. In train he used to daily commute to Delhi from his own town.
One day, he could not find place for sitting in the over crowded train. A man squeezed some space and offered him to sit.
After he sat down, that man said, "Sir, do you know me? I am the father of a person whom you had sentenced to death! "
The judge did not know how to respond.
The man further said,"It is good that you sentenced him to death. Otherwise relatives of victim would have killed him. But since you gave him death sentence, relatives of victim cooled down. Later he appealed to High Court and then to Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court commuted death sentence to life imprisionment and he is alive today because of you."
The man thanked judge.
The Judge relaxed.

Remand means permission to keep accused in POLICE LOCK UP for purpose of investigation
Jail is a different thing. There an accused is kept under orders of judge, either before conviction or after conviction. There, the take carer is Jailor.
When accused is given on remand to police, it means that accused is allowed to be kept in custody of police investigating officer for purpose of investigation, questioning, for taking it to scene of crime for reminding him about the incident, for taking him to place where he may have hidden weapons of crime etc.
Remand is usually given for short time.

On internet everything these people do has digital footprints which cannot be erased. Plagmarism or credit pouching is not a good thing to do. Cyber laws are new but they are in force.

Doors are still not CLOSED by Supreme Court for CAMPA COLA building residents
Yesterday I read reported judgements of CAMPA COLA building residents.
Many things in judgement are there which are not reported in proper perspective by media.
I would mention here about only one thing not properly projected in media.
On Earlier date, Attorney General sought time to give some proposal to Supreme Court about alternative arrangement which can be made for residents of CAMPA COLA residents.
Supreme Court recorded his statement.
Next date, Attorney General said that after examining facts of this case, he has not
been able to come up with any concrete proposal.
So Supreme Court recorded his statement and passed order.
Doors are not closed.
If any proposal has to be made in this case, it has to come from Maharashtra Government. In Judgement, neither Maharashtra Government nor Central Government has said categorical NO.
Some burden is there on Maharashtra Govt because the buildings are there since about 1984 or so. About 29 years. Many owners may have changed. Many laws have been changed.
As per my limited understanding, what these legal obligations are on State Government is not clear from judgement.
Perhaps, there appears lack of proper legal concepts in such cases. Buildings could be illegal. But residents are not illegal. If they were legal, they must also have some kind of right to live and to be protected against pick and choose type arbitrary implementation of laws.

Others do not seem to be clear on this. I am also having no clues about legal obligations of State in such exceptional cases. The obligations can be political as well as legal, but I am not clear enough to specify them.

Supreme Court has not totally closed doors. Even today if Maharashtra Government or Central Government will go to Supreme Court with some concrete proposal, Supreme Court may not refuse to listen to them.
