संगठन बनाने की स्वतंत्रता बनाम राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा (जमात के लिए संभावित निहितार्थ) क्या है?
ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि
मुख्य प्रावधान
10 points- 1.
प्वाइंट 1: संगठन बनाने की स्वतंत्रता एक मौलिक अधिकार है, लेकिन यह पूरी तरह से नहीं है। भारतीय संविधान का Article 19(1)(c) यह अधिकार देता है।
- 2.
प्वाइंट 2: इस अधिकार पर कुछ जरूरी रोक लगाई जा सकती है, अगर भारत की संप्रभुता और अखंडता, देश की सुरक्षा, विदेशी देशों के साथ दोस्ताना संबंध, कानून व्यवस्था, शालीनता या नैतिकता, या अदालत की अवमानना, मानहानि या अपराध को बढ़ावा देने से जुड़ा मामला हो। Article 19(4) इन पाबंदियों की इजाजत देता है।
- 3.
प्वाइंट 3: सरकार राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा बनाए रखने के लिए जिम्मेदार है। अदालतें यह देखती हैं कि पाबंदियां जरूरी हैं और खतरे के हिसाब से सही हैं।
- 4.
प्वाइंट 4: संगठन बनाने की स्वतंत्रता को कितना रोका जा सकता है, इसकी कोई खास सीमा नहीं है। यह खतरे और पाबंदी की जरूरत पर निर्भर करता है।
- 5.
प्वाइंट 5: यह अधिकार दूसरे मौलिक अधिकारों से जुड़ा है, जैसे बोलने और अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता (Article 19(1)(a)) और जीवन और व्यक्तिगत स्वतंत्रता का अधिकार (Article 21)।
- 6.
प्वाइंट 6: गैरकानूनी गतिविधियां (रोकथाम) अधिनियम (UAPA) में कई बार बदलाव किए गए हैं, ताकि उन गतिविधियों का दायरा बढ़ाया जा सके जिन्हें राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा के लिए खतरा माना जा सकता है।
- 7.
प्वाइंट 7: सरकारी कर्मचारियों की संगठन बनाने की स्वतंत्रता पर सेवा नियमों के अनुसार कुछ पाबंदियां हैं।
- 8.
प्वाइंट 8: अगर किसी संगठन पर प्रतिबंध लगाया जाता है, तो उसके सदस्यों को गिरफ्तार किया जा सकता है और उन पर मुकदमा चलाया जा सकता है। उनकी संपत्ति जब्त की जा सकती है।
- 9.
प्वाइंट 9: संगठन बनाने की स्वतंत्रता सभा करने की स्वतंत्रता के समान है, लेकिन यह संगठन बनाने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करती है, जबकि सभा करने की स्वतंत्रता समूहों में इकट्ठा होने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करती है।
- 10.
प्वाइंट 10: एक आम गलतफहमी यह है कि संगठन बनाने की स्वतंत्रता का मतलब है कि संगठन के नाम पर कुछ भी करने का अधिकार है। यह सच नहीं है; गतिविधियाँ कानूनी होनी चाहिए।
