1. "E-Commerce - Legal Issues in the new Millennium" - Seminar.

Further in the process we would like to conduct a lecture series on various subjects connected with Law and Interdisciplinary subjects. In this connection we wish to network with the organisations and to collaborate with them to achieve the objectives.

Introduction

India is a subcontinent with a vast population comprising of diverse languages, religions, ethnic cultural and caste sub divisions with their own seperate identities and economic,social and political power groupings. The Indian Democracy with parliamentary form of government having a centralised federal power structure has been able to manage and accomodate the diverse interest groups without any major breakdown of the system. Politicians,Bureaucrats ,Criminals - Nexus

But there are certain discomforting features. The corruption at high places, organised crime by underground mafia and terrorist groups on one side, and the helplessness and failure of Investigating and Prosecuting Machinery on the other side have compounded the problems. Failures in unearthing the crime due to the structural deficiencies and undue influence from Political Executive and Top Bureaucrats are giving rise to the impression among the general public about the failure of constitutional and parliamentary institutions. The executive is perceived to be exercising too much power at the cost of legislature and judiciary. Prosecution and Investigation agencies which are meant to enforce the rule of law are seen as being hand in glove with political bosses.

Supreme Court - Vineet Naraian Case

The Supreme Court had expressed its desideratum for improvement in the working of the system for insulating the investigating and prosecution machineries such as CBI, Directorate of Enforcement, Central Vigilance Commissioner and other Prosecuting and Investigating agencies at Centre and State levels. When the system was found wanting in independent machinery, the court had to devise its own mechanism by exercising its inherent constitutional powers. However some think that the judiciary is exceeding its limits under the constitutional scheme of distribution of powers, by issuing a continuing mandamus investing CBI, Directorate of Enforcement and CVC with possible independence from the executive machinery and placing them directly under the control of court. But this is only a stop gap arrangement and demands a suitable structural and institutional framework incorporating necessary changes. This is an effort in that direction.

We feel that a proper structural and institutional change will help in paving the way for sustained development while reviving the peoplesconfidence in the system and effectuating the rule of law and constitutional system of governance. We hope that our effort will
find support from all informed sections of society that have a vision for the develop-
ment of country in the new horizon of global village safeguarding the freedoms
and security of human person.

We earnestly appeal to Academicians, Judges, Prosecutors, Police Officers, Lawyers, Journalists, Intellectuals, Social Workers, Concerned Citizens to give serious thought to this problem to ensure Rule of Law, Principles of Natural Justice, Equality before Law, Equal Oportunities to all the citizens of our nation for a Just and Civil Society by contributing their intellectuals inputs by way of opinions, comments, short notes, articles, research papers and financial contributions to our address. We would like to have a national research project and a national debate for the Autonamy of Investigation and Proescution.

Your material will be published on our website www.aplegalservices.com of our Web Legal Journal which will have a global readership.

World over there is a growing importance given to the autonomy of Investigation and Prosecution for increasing the professional expertise in the emerging, complex technoeconomic scene and to impart fair play and ensure equality before law. Under these circumstances we are taking up the above cited subject for discussion followed by an interactive session.
