Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly has recently passed the Andhra Pradesh Disha Bill, 2019 (now, Andhra Pradesh Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2019).
Disha is the name given to the veterinarian who was raped and murdered in Hyderabad on 27 November, 2019, sparked an outrage across country.
It envisages the completion of investigation in 7 days and trial in 14 working days, where there is adequate conclusive evidence, and reducing total judgment time to 21 days from existing 4 months.
The Act also prescribes death penalty for rape crimes where there is adequate conclusive evidence and this provision is given by amending Section 376 of Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860.
In cases of harassment of women through social/digital media, the Act states 2 years' imprisonment for first conviction and 4 years' imprisonment for second as well as subsequent convictions. As per Section 354D of IPC, stalking is continuously following a woman or contacting her either online or in person, where she has clearly shown she doesn't want the attention. The section makes an exception, if a person is stalking a woman as part of a legal duty to do so.
A new Section 354 E will be added in IPC, 1860. It also prescribes life imprisonment for other sexual offences against children and for this purpose includes Section 354 F and 354 G in IPC. The Andhra Pradesh government will now establish, operate and maintain a register in electronic form, to be called Women & Children Offenders Registry. This registry will be made public and will also be available to country's law enforcement agencies.
The state government will also establish exclusive special courts in each district to ensure speedy trial. These courts will exclusively deal with cases of offences against women and children including rape, sexual harassment, acid attacks, social media harassment of women, stalking, voyeurism and all cases under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.
Moreover, the government will also appoint a special public prosecutor for each exclusive special court. The government will constitute special police teams at district level to be called District Special Police Team. It will be headed by DSP for investigation of offences related to women and children.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.The And...
Understanding the Verdict on Naman's Sentence
The situation involving Naman highlights important aspects of the law concerning stalking under Section 354D of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Legal Context of Section 354D
- Definition of Stalking: The law defines stalking as the act of continuously following a woman or contacting her, despite her clear indication of disinterest.
- Legal Duty Exception: An important provision in Section 354D states that if a person is stalking a woman as part of a legal duty, this does not constitute an offense.
Application to Naman's Case
- Naman's Role: Naman was monitoring Shruti's communications while tracking an arms shipment, suggesting that his actions were part of his professional duty.
- Good Faith Fulfillment: Since Naman was acting within the scope of his responsibilities and with good intentions related to law enforcement, his actions fall under the legal duty exception outlined in the law.
Conclusion
- Given these points, the verdict of a 2-year prison sentence for Naman is not valid. His monitoring of Shruti’s emails and messages was linked to his duties, thus exempting him from being classified as a stalker under the law.
In summary, Naman's case illustrates the importance of context in legal interpretations, particularly regarding the balance between personal rights and professional responsibilities.

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given beside.It has been repeatedly held that the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) is a sui generis legislation, enacted to tackle money laundering through white-collar crimes. According to Section 3 of the PMLA, the act of projecting or claiming proceeds of crime to be untainted property constitutes the offense of money laundering. Under the Schedule to the PMLA, a number of offenses under the Indian Penal Code and other special statutes have been included, which serve as the basis for the offense of money laundering. In other words, the existence of predicate offense is sine qua non to charge someone with money laundering. It is crucial to note that the investigation and prosecution of the predicate offense are done typically by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the State Police.Section 50 of the PMLA provides powers of a civil court to the ED authorities for summoning persons suspected of money laundering and recording statements. However, the Supreme Court held that ED authorities are not police officers. It observed in Vijay Madanlal Choudhary v. Union of India (2022) that “the process envisaged by Section 50 of the PMLA is in the nature of an inquiry against the proceeds of crime and is not ‘investigation’ in strict sense of the term for initiating prosecution.” There are other dissimilarities between ED authorities and the police. While the police are required to register a First Information Report (FIR) for a cognizable offense before conducting an investigation, ED authorities begin with search procedures and undertake their investigation for the purpose of gathering materials and tracing the ‘proceeds of crime’ by issuing summons. Any statement made by an accused to the police is inadmissible as evidence in court, whereas a statement made to an ED authority is admissible. A copy of the FIR is accessible to the accused, whereas the Enforcement Case Information Report is seldom available.While the police investigating the predicate offense are empowered to arrest and seek custody of the accused, the ED is meant to focus on recovering the proceeds of crime in order to redistribute the same to victims. It is not clear whether the ED has managed to do this. Per contra, the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2002, the analogous legislation in the U.K., almost entirely concentrates on the confiscation of assets through dedicated civil proceedings. Unfortunately, of late, much of the ED’s powers have been discharged in effecting pretrial arrests, which used to be the prerogative of the police investigating the predicate offence. In the past, the CBI was used to impart fear among political opponents. In the process, the agency received the condemnation of various courts and earned the nickname “caged parrot”. Whether the ED will go down the same path or reorient its approach will entirely depend on the intervention of the country’s constitutional courts.Q.Which of the following is not the appropriate cause-and-effect relationship in the passages context?
