1. Please see the following--
   Youth lynched for plucking litchis in Bihar--
http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=442846&sid=REG   Muzaffarpur, May
13: A teenager plucked four luscious 'shahi' litchis without permission and
had to pay the price with his life.

Fourteen-year old Raj Kumar was lynched by the men manning the orchard at
village Dwarika Nagar under Mushahri police station in Bihar's Muaffarpur
district, a delayed police report said on Tuesday.

Raj Kumar, while herding his buffalo, went to the orchard of Lakhan Mishra
and plucked the litchis on Saturday. But he was soon captured by Mishra's
men who beat him to death.

They then threw body into a nearby pond from where it was found the next
day, the report said.

Vikram Sah, father of the victim, registered a complaint with the police
accusing Mishra, his family members and his men manning the orchard for the
killing.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (headquarters) Shankar Jha said he had asked
the Mushahari police station to arrest the culprits.

2. This would not have happened if the pious Contitutional intentions of the
Government to provide free and compulsory education up to 14 years age had
been put into practice.

3. Hypothetical:

A-- Laloo ji, woh 14 baras kaa ladakaa kaa kachhu padhaaee-likhaaee kaa
intazaam nahee kiye ho?

Laloo-- [Laughs loudly]--Arre bhaai, woh charavaahaa kyaa bhainsavaa ko
pothee padhaavegaa?

[The crows assembled around him, mostly of his sycophants, roars in laughter
at this unique Laloo brand of rustic joke].

4. Laws passed remain laws buried. Laws buried are laws dead. Laws, to be
alive, must be invoked. Laws, to be invoked, must be known to people. Laws
will be known to people only when they study law. People can study law in 4
ways:

a. Voluntarily, studying for LL.B

b. Voluntarily, studying for a distance learning degree of diploma course in
law, offered by several universities.

c. Studying, through sundry means, including websites and weblists,
newspapers, books etc., about law.

d. Studying law as part of routine school and college curriculum.
Responsibility for this lies with the government and the educational
planning institutions, like NCERT, etc.

5. Those who shun law or lawyers do incalculable harm to society. Just
imagine: almost every prominent name in the Indian struggle for independence
was or had been a lawyer! Try this exercise, if you have doubt.

[Moral of Kalidas's story, before he became a scholar: Don't cut the branch
of the tree on which you are sitting. Do not kick the stool from underneath
your feet].
