Flag code- when hoisting national flag of India by NGO and other organisations.

Flag Code of India 
The Indian National Flag represents the hopes and aspirations of the people of India. It is
the symbol of our national pride. Over the last five decades, several people including
members of armed forces have ungrudgingly laid down their lives to keep the tricolour flying
in its full glory.
The significance of the colours and the chakra in the National Flag was amply described
by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan in the Constituent Assembly which unanimously adopted the
National Flag. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan explained—“Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes
renunciation of disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and
dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide
our conduct. The green shows our relation to soil, our relation to the plant life here on which
all other life depends. The Ashoka Wheel in the center of the white is the wheel of the law of
dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principles of those who
work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is
life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The
wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change.”
There is universal affection and respect for, and loyalty to, the National Flag. Yet, a
perceptible lack of awareness is often noticed, not only amongst people but also in the
organisations/agencies of the government, in regard to laws, practices and conventions that
apply to the display of the National Flag. Apart from non-statutory instructions issued by the
Government from time to time, display of the National Flag is governed by the provisions of
the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950 (No. 12 of 1950) and the
Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 (No. 69 of 1971). Flag Code of India,
2002 is an attempt to bring together all such laws, conventions, practices and instructions for
the guidance and benefit of all concerned.
For the sake of convenience, Flag Code of India, 2002, has been divided into three parts.
Part I of the Code contains general description of the National Flag. Part II of the Code is
devoted to the display of the National Flag by members of public, private organizations,
educational institutions, etc. Part III of the Code relates to display of the National Flag by
Central and State governments and their organisations and agencies.
Flag Code of India, 2002, takes effect from January 26, 2002 and supersedes the ‘Flag
Code-India’ as it existed.

GENERAL 
1.1 The National Flag shall be a tri-colour panel made up of three rectangular panels or
sub-panels of equal widths. The colour of the top panel shall be India saffron (Kesari) and that
of the bottom panel shall be India green. The middle panel shall be white, bearing at its centre
the design of Ashoka Chakra in navy blue colour with 24 equally spaced spokes. The Ashoka
Chakra shall preferably be screen printed or otherwise printed or stenciled or suitably
embroidered and shall be completely visible on both sides of the Flag in the centre of the
white panel.
1.2 The National Flag of India shall be made of hand spun and hand woven
wool/cotton/silk khadi bunting.
1.3 The National Flag shall be rectangular in shape. The ratio of the length to the height
(width) of the Flag shall be 3:2.
1.4 The standard sizes of the National Flag shall be as follows:—
Flag Size No. Dimensions in mm 
1 6300 x 4200

 6 900 x 600
 7 450 x 300
 8 225 x 150
 9 150 x 100 1.5 An appropriate size should be chosen for display. The flags of 450 x 300 mm size are
intended for aircrafts on VVIP flights, 225 x 150 mm size for motor-cars and 150 x 100 mm
size for table flags.
PART II
HOISTING/DISPLAY/USE OF NATIONAL FLAG BY MEMBERS OF PUBLIC, PRIVATE
ORGANISATIONS, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, ETC.
Section I
2.1 There shall be no restriction on the display of the National Flag by members of
general public, private organizations, educational institutions, etc., except to the extent
provided in the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950
and the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971
and any other law enacted on the subject. Keeping in view the provisions of the aforementioned Acts—
 (i) the Flag shall not be used for commercial purposes in violation of the Emblem and
Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950;
 (ii) the Flag shall not be dipped in salute to any person or thing;
 (iii) the Flag shall not be flown at half-mast except on occasions on which the Flag is
flown at half-mast on public buildings in accordance with the instructions issued by
the Government;

WHERE TO FILE GUARDIAN APPLICATION FOR MENTALLY RETARDED PERSONS?

Obviously, when people think about getting a guardianship order from the court for a mentally retarded person, people would think of acting in accordance with the provisions of Mental Health Act.
But the Mental Health Act does not include the provision for getting guardianship of a person who is mentally retarded. Mental retardation and mental illness are entirely different. Mental Health Act is meant for guardianship, reception order etc of Mentally Ill persons. 
Mental illness and Mental retardation are not same and therefore, the law also in not same. But this fact is not not known to many, even for lawyers.
A person who wish to get a guardianship for a mentally retarded person cannot file a petition before the District Court like a guardian OP. Taking account of the legislative intention of the Mental Health Act, petitions were filed before the Kerala High Court and Court held  (Js V Giri) - 2009 1 KHC 199 - that the High Court has the power to entertain such petitions in Writ Jurisdiction.
However, the safe and appropriate legal approach is to file a petition before the local level committee headed by District Magistrate under the provisions of THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR WELFARE OF PERSONS WITH AUTISM,CEREBRAL PALSY, MENTAL RETARDATION AND MULTIPLE DISABILITIES ACT 1999

Whether a separate license for blasting works in Quarry, other than the license to conduct quarry?

It is always a an answer unaware to public that whether a separate license for blasting -FORM 22 license under Mines and Minerals Act - for quarrying operations.

The settled position of law (Rajmohan Nair & Others V. State of Kerala & Others- ILR 1997 (1) Ker.268) is that separate license is needed for blasting and quarry operations. As per the provisions of Mines Act and the Metalliferous Mines Regulations, the quarry operator is bound to take a license in form 22 for obtaining and using explosives for blasting purpose in the quarry. A separate license is required for the quarry unit other than the license contained for the stone crushing factory which has to be treated as a separate unit established nearby the quarry.
