One editorial of The Hindu on 28 November 2015 was about the non-compliance of Maharashtra government to the Supreme Court judgment which stayed its legislation to ban dance bars in Mumbai.
(A) Unhealthy defiance (Please read the article first and then come back to us. We are
only covering the English Words)
1. It is not unusual to see State
governments showing reluctance to abide by court orders that rulers deem politically inexpedient or
ideologically unpalatable.
(a) reluctance: an unwillingness to do
something
More examples: I accepted his resignation
with great reluctance.
(b) abide: If you can't abide someone or
something, you dislike them very much
(c) deem: to consider or judge something in
a particular way.
More examples: The area has now been deemed
safe.
(d) inexpedient: not suitable or convenient
More examples: It was inexpedient for him
to be seen to approve of the decision.
(e) unpalatable: An unpalatable fact or idea
is unpleasant or shocking and therefore difficult to accept.
2. Maharashtra is perilously close to being seen as wilfully disobedient.
(a) perilously : extremely dangerous
More examples: The country roads are quite
perilous.
3.
The court has now peremptorily
told the State government to process within two weeks all the applications it
has received.
(a) peremptorily: expecting to be obeyed immediately
and without asking questions.
More examples: He started issuing
peremptory instructions.
4. The present amendment that his regime is trying to defend is unlikely
to survive judicial scrutiny.
(a) regime: a particular government or a system
or method of government.
More examples: The old corrupt, totalitarian
regime was overthrown.
5. The plight
of these vulnerable sections ought to
pose greater concern to the government than the possibility that society will
lapse into depravity by the mere
presence of dance bars.
(a) plight: an unpleasant condition, especially
a serious, sad, or difficult one.
More examples: the plight of the poor/homeless.
(b) ought: used to say that the action expressed
in the verb is probable or expected
More examples: He ought to be home by seven
o’clock.
(c) depravity: the state of being morally bad,
or an action that is morally bad.
6. Wholesale bans and unhealthy defiance of judicial authority should
not be among them.
(a) defiance: behaviour in which you refuse
to obey someone or something.
More examples: In defiance of the ceasefire,
rebel troops are again firing on the capital.
