Pre-germinated seedlings were grown in half strength modified Johnson's nutrient solution at adequate and deficient levels of Zn. Zinc deficiency was induced by adding 50 µM diethylene tri-amine penta acetic acid (DTPA) in addition to all micronutrient concentrations. Shoot and root growth for the various cotton cultivars was significantly different at both levels of Zn supply in the growth medium. A typical Zn deficiency symptom of inward curling of top leaves was evident in cotton cultivars grown with chelator-buffered nutrient solution (Zn deficient). Two cotton cultivars viz., FH-900 and VH-137, produced higher biomass and better Zn utilization. Zinc concentration in cotton shoots grown at deficient level of Zn was less than its critical concentration of 20 mg kg-1 which was several folds lower than its concentration estimated for those grown at adequate Zn level. The study also depicted successful induction of Zn deficiency in cotton in hydroponics by DTPA, indicating its suitability for screening crop cultivars for micronutrient stress particularly for Zn deficiency.

This blameworthiness is known as guilty mind or to be more precise a blameworthy state of mind. There are many degrees or kinds of mens rea, with their corresponding levels of culpability like Intention, knowledge, recklessness, negligence, etc. The punishment decreases as the mens rea fall the ladder. The importance of mens rea in criminal jurisprudence is again stressed by the maxim “Actus reus non facit reum, nisi mens sit rea” which implies that “The act itself does not constitute guilt unless done with a guilty intent". Due to this elusiveness of Mens Rea, there is a disproportionate sentencing by the Courts which gives rise to injustice and violation of basic human rights and dignity of the victim. The paper shall decipher various issues pertaining to mens rea in Vehicular Homicide Cases and shall endeavour to come with s...
