What is a controversial law?
Answers
Laws which are passed by the Parliament by due procedure but are repressive and are opposed by a large section of society are known as unpopular laws. Controversial laws are those which favour one section of the society against the other.
UNPOPULAR AND CONTROVERSIAL LAWS - SHORTCUT
Sometimes a law can be constitutionally valid and hence legal, but it can continue to be unpopular and unacceptable to people because they feel that the intention behind it is unfair and harmful. Hence, people might criticise this law. When a large number of people begin to feel that a wrong law has been passed, then there is pressure on the Parliament to change this.
Various municipal laws on the use of space within municipal limits often make hawking and street vending illegal. No one will dispute the necessity for some rules to keep the public space open so that people can walk on the pavements easily. If the law favours one group and disregards the other it will be controversial and lead to conflict.
