Story: Spam law compromised by direct marketers

As a general rule, it is not for Courts to consider the relative merits of different economic policies like parameters of any new law proposed to be made or already enacted. The Court is not the Forum for resolving the conflicting clauses regarding the wisdom or advisability of policy. The court may interfere with such law only if it is arbitrary and based on extraneous considerations.

Whatever the policy of the legislature may be, but it should not be based on the concept of "being the judge of one's own cause". The law to gain public support and legitimacy must not only seems to be reasonable but equally "felt" to be appropriate.

Hope the proposed spam law will fulfil these mandates of common law and satisfy the golden concept of justice, equity and good conscience.
