When the law does more harm than good

It is said that “The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom." But what if a law goes against that principle and, instead of keeping our citizens safe, hampers our right to free will and opens us up to needless harassment? In this "Pop-Up Law," we are going to try to educate you about arcane laws that have been in existence for a century, and the recent efforts of the state to try and repeal them.

Do you know that kites require a permit to fly? Or that you can be prosecuted for not reporting a 20-rupee note lying on the street. A lot of existing legislation is carried over from our colonial past, and has no place in modern society. The Repealing and Amending Bill, 2022 was introduced in the Lok Sabha, and seeks to repeal 65 laws that are obsolete or that have been made redundant by other laws.

Are there any other absurd acts that we have missed, but you are aware of. Tell us in the comments. What are your thoughts on over-legislation and the harm it can do to society? Do you think the repealing initiatives are a net good?
