Passage for Question (11)
Read the passage below and answer the following question
Movable property can be moved from one place to another without causing any change
to its quality, capacity or quantity. Just the delivery of movable property with an intention
to transfer it completes the process of its transfer. Additionally, the registration of the
movable property is optional under the Indian Registration Act, 1908.
While immovable property can be moved only after altering or destroying it and mere
delivery of immovable property does not suffice forthe transfer of immovable property.
It needs to be registered in the name of the transferee. It is mandatory to register an
immovable property under the Indian Registration Act, 1908, subject to the condition
that the property’s value exceeds a hundred rupees. Transfer of property Act does not
cover property transfers by the operation of law, i.c., transfer in the form of forfeiture,
sale via the execution of an order, inheritance or insolvency.

Inacase before the Apex Court, the Bench led by Justice U.U. Lalit, referred to how “in'
England. even a person accused of grave offences such as treason could not be indefinitely
detained in prison tll commencement ofthe trial", The couct held that an accused has an
“indefeasible right” to default bail under Section 167(2) of the Code of Criminal
Procedure ifthe probe agency failed io complete the investigation on time. Under Section
167, an accused can be detained in custody for a maximum of 90 days for.a crime
Punishable with death, life imprisonment or a sentence of over 10 years. It is 60 days of
detention if the investigation relates to any other offence. In some special statutes such
as the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the period of detention
can extend to | 80 days. “Section 167(2) provides for a clear mandate that the investigative
agency must collect the required in the prescribed time period, failing
which the accused can no longer be detained. This ensures that the investigating officers
are compelled to act swiftly and efficiently without misusing the prospect of further
remand. This also ensures that the Court takes cognisance of the case without any undue
delay from the date of giving information of the offence, so that society at large does not
lose faith and develop cynicism towards the criminal justice system,” Justice
Shantanagoudar wrote. The Bench, also comprising Justice Vineet Saran, said Section
167(2) has three clear objectives -fair trial, expeditious investigation and the setting
down of a rationalised procedure to protect the poor sections of the society. The top
Court said an accused exercises his right to default bal from the moment he applies for
it in court.

Much scholarship has explicitly and extensively addressed different aspects of
posthumanism in recent times; indeed, as Bruce Clarke has acutely observed, in “the last ’
two decades the theoretical trope of the posthuman has upped the ante on the notion of
the postmodem”.. .And the sheer range of academic disciplines in which posthumanist
concems have been addressed: literary studies, cultural studies, philosophy, film studies,
theology, geography, animal studies, architecture, politics, law, sociology, anthropology,
science and technology studies, education, gender studies, and psychoanalysis, for
example- testifies to the ways in which posthumanism cuts across conventional
disciplinary boundaries. Posthumanism belongs nowhere in particular in the modem
