Question

In whose favor did the commission of enquiry give the judgement​

Answer 1

Answer:

THE EMERGENCE of the technique of inquiries and investigations

has been one of the most striking developments of the modern administrative process. The ever expanding role of the modern state in the welfare

activities of its citizens has necessitated establishment of a system which

would enable the governments to ascertain facts of the given situation and

have full information about it. For, if this method does not completely

eliminate the scope of error, it does help in minimizing it. The government has to have a first hand information to take effective remedial measures. Although there are numerous enactments1

which authorize the

government to institute enquiries, the statute par excellence dealing with

the subject matter is the Commissions of Inquiry Act 1952. Under the

Act, various commissions2

have been appointed to investigate into matters

of diverse nature. During the course of the working of the Act, numerous

shortcomings and problems were noticed. The Central Government

requested the Law Commission of India to undertake a study of the Act

and make recommendations to introduce changes in it. As a result the

commission submitted a comprehensive report3

dealing with the matter.

On the basis of this report, the government introduced numerous amendments in the Act in 1971. Many of the shortcomings, however, continued

to linger on and they became more pronounced when a large number of

commissions were appointed in post-emergency period.

In this paper, I have selected two important problems for discussion:

First, regarding the institution of parallel proceedings in respect of same

matters before the conmission of inquiry and the court of law; and second,

regarding powers of the commission to punish for its contempt.
