CRITICAL ANALYSIS ON LAW MAKING POLICIES: A PERSPECTIVE FROM

INDIA
Anukriti Debnath and Kiran Shree Baruah1

Law making policies are being followed in the country from decades. The Parliament with
the respective political leaders makes the laws for the country. These are generally based for
every individual in the country. A bill is usually proposed as a draft and, until and unless it
gets the approval of the house and the consent of the President, the bill cannot become an
Act.
As seen over the course of time that these laws that have been formed over decades ago with
proper reasoning from the Parliament, cannot be implemented in the current time due to the
constant dynamic changes that are taking place over the country. For instance, we have a
petition in the Supreme Court that the Buddhist community wants to have their own statute
similar to the Muslim and the Hindu community but the petition is still pending as the
definition of the Buddhist community as stated in the Hindu law, didn’t form any reasoning
to build a separate statute or amending the already made statute. Furthermore, we also have
the Citizenship amendment Act(CAA) that was implemented violating various fundamental
rights as mentioned under the Constitution of India, Farmer Bill which was passed
irrespective of the suffering of various livelihood of the farmers, DNA Technology Bill
violating Right to privacy and also various sections that fall under the personal laws of the
country.
These policies need proper reasoning if these are to be implemented in order to maintain the
proper equilibrium and harmony in the society.
Key Words: Buddhist Community, Citizenship amendment Act(CAA), Farmer Bill, DNA
Technology Bill.
