摘要：The major security challenge faced by India today is to combat terrorism perpetuated by militant and terrorist groups. There is also the reality of a number of nuclear weapon states in the neighborhood. Equally daunting is the threat from insurgencies, spurred by tribal and ethnic aspirations and left wing ideologies. A democratic country having rule of law cannot but rely upon effective legislative tools coupled with a robust investigative law enforcement machinery to match the ill designs of terrorist networks. In the absence of an effective internationally binding legal instrument, backed with requisite force to ensure compliance, enactment of domestic statutes is the only viable option. India’s response to the increasing destruction caused by terrorists having global network saw strengthening of internal laws. Appendix A enumerates the existing laws having relevance to the fight against terror as the position stood prior to 26/11.
