It need no reiteration that summary / bans on films violate the freedom / of speech and expression / enshrined in Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution.

However, the use of the threat of violence and other forms of intimidation / couldn’t give the state an oblique reason / to stifle fundamental freedoms by voicing apprehensions / and invoking its powers to maintain peace.

If even after these concessions the protestors / is allowed to obtain a ban, it would/ undoubtedly amount to a base / surrender to blackmail and intimidation.

It would be a taint on the country record of protecting free / speech if a film with admittedly no claim to / historical accuracy is banned on the mere pretext that / some people, who have not even seen it, find it offensive.

It is not a bad idea to revisit old / committee reports with a / view to considering their / possible implementation.

The Centre’s decision to revisit the 2003 report / of the Justice V.S. Malimath Committee / on reforming the criminal justice system needs / to be examined though the prism of civil rights.

It includes controversial recommendations such as making / confessions to a senior police officer admissible as / evidence, and diluting the standard of / proof required of a criminal conviction.

It also contains valuable suggestions to revamp the administration / of criminal law, covering the entire gamut of the justice / system from investigation to sentencing, from matters of policy to / the nuances of criminal procedure and the law of evidence.

The Centre would do well to ignore the recommendations /relating to making confessions to high-ranking / officers admissible, and increasing the period / of police custody from 15 to 30 day.

Such a measure would have / adverse implications for / suspects, and require /considerable deliberation.
