Good Faith in Legal Terms

Section 52 of Indian Penal Code: Good Faith- Nothing is said to be done or believed in “Good Faith” which is done or believed without due care and attention.

Good Faith has a special significance under Criminal Law.

In Bux Chowdry v. King, AIR 1938, it was held that an accused who let his servant work outside the area covered by his license without taking the precaution to ascertain whether that area was covered by his license or not, cannot be said to have acted in good faith even though there may have been no element of dishonesty in his conduct.

The provision hence, regards honesty as immaterial and the presence of “care” and “intention” the sole criteria of good faith.

But, accusing a 2-month-old in the said case had to sound ignominy and bailing Zoya had to make stirring news for being the youngest person being bailed. [1] This said instance may be odd, peculiar, unacceptable, and irrational but still noticeable with a legal and moral remedy.

Social Media or Toxic Media?

Just came across reading a post “ How Social Media Works ” Me: I prefer mangoes to oranges. Random Person: So, basically what you’re saying is you hate oranges? You also failed to mention pineapples, bananas, and grapefruits. Educate yourself. I’m literally shaking. And I felt that. Social media can be more dangerous than a bomb in the hands of an insane person. No society was, is or will be crimeless ever. And to think of a crimeless society is a myth. We, human beings by birth are fighting animals. We must accept the fact that we all are different as persons, in thoughts and perspectives. There are billions of humans on earth and you can spend your whole day reading negative views over social media. We need to pause and think about what kind of environment are we pushing ourselves to wake up in? It is us who give priority to negative posts over reading something good. And at the end of the day all we do is blame humanity. India recorded 351.4 million ...
