Emblems & Names (Prevention Of Improper Use) Act, 1950 Alongwith Rules, 1982 & Act, 2005 & Prevention Of Insult To National Honour Act, 1971

This authoritative edition brings together the Emblems & Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950 (with Rules, 1982 and Act, 2005 amendments) and the Prevention of Insult to National Honour Act, 1971, in a single, compact reference. Each Act and rule is reproduced verbatim and accompanied by clear, practitioner-oriented annotations that explain definitions, prohibited uses, exceptions, penalty structures, and the roles of government authorities in enforcement. The book decodes what constitutes “improper use” of national emblems, names, flags and anthems, and offers step-by-step guidance for obtaining permissions, drafting compliant material, responding to notices, and defending prosecutions. Dedicated sections provide model letters, compliance checklists for institutions and publishers, sample legal notices and a short digest of relevant case law and administrative orders to help stakeholders rapidly assess legal risk. Designed for use by legal counsel, public officials, educators and media professionals, the volume bridges statute and practice — enabling quick reference for litigation, policy compliance, event planning and editorial decisions involving national symbols.
