‘Lawyers
should act as social reformers’
A
student of the Department of Laws, Panjab University, Mandeep Mittal,
opines that legal profession is one of the best professions of this
world. Lawyers are the social architect on whom lay the social
responsibility of assisting the temples of justice. Laws are intended to
regulate the behaviour of the people. But not society can be regulated
by laws only.

way of life
TV
has become a household necessity, a way of life. The cable operators
have started monopolising the trade at their whim by constituting a
syndicate. Residents, having the right to information/knowledge through
modern technology at reasonable tariff, should be protected through the
MRTP by declaring the cable TV service an essential commodity.
