Sesha Dhriti Badiga, Woxsen University ABSTRACT Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Eastern Book Company & Ors. v. D.B. Modak & Anr. (2008) marked a fundamental change in Indian copyright laws, moving away from the classical “sweat of the brow” doctrine towards a slightly higher threshold for originality that takes into account the skill, judgment, and a very small amount of creativity involved.

Ms. Sumanpreet Kaur, Research Scholar, Department of Laws, Panjab University, Chandigarh ABSTRACT Trade liberalisation is one of the prominent aspects of today’s economy.

Hemanya Pratap Singh & Tathagat Singh, LL.B. (Hons.), Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat ABSTRACT The Principal Purpose Test, incorporated in India’s Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements by virtue of the Multilateral Instrument (‘MLI’) since October 2019, has spawned a doctrinal development that legal literature is yet to acknowledge: far from a simple restructuring of India’s treaty anti-avoidance rules, it makes the legitimacy of the structuring of corporate entities across

Subham Kumar Sahu, PhD Scholar, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi ABSTRACT The law of treaties is founded upon the principle of state consent. Reservations constitute one of the principal mechanisms through which states reconcile their sovereign interests with participation in multilateral treaty regimes.

Saloni Kumari, Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi ABSTRACT The rapid integration of generative AI into creative industries has exposed significant legislative gaps in India's copyright framework, which was not designed to address non-human creative agents or AI-driven data use.

Gagan N.R., Christ (Deemed to be University), Bangalore ABSTRACT There is no definition of abandonment contained in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 nor is there any provision regarding the consequences of a party abandoning arbitral proceedings.

Himani Arya, PhD Scholar, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University ABSTRACT In the modern era of fabricated media, deepfakes are a whole new problem for laws that protect identity, likeness, and copyright. This paper examines the critical issue: Who owns the face?, by analyzing the degree to which Indian law acknowledges and safeguards an individual's facial identity in the era of AI-generated visual manipulation.

Priyam Pratik, Faculty of Law, University of Allahabad ABSTRACT The growing use of data-driven tools in courts, tribunals and quasi-judicial bodies across the globe raises questions that go well beyond technical efficiency.

This artic

Nyater Ete, LLM, Symbiosis Law College, Pune ABSTRACT The status of cinema in constitutional law is unique. The issue of social impact and vulnerability to prior restraint makes cinema a special subject of constitutional free speech jurisprudence. In India, the Cinematograph Act, 1952, regulates and certifies the films by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Although this framework is constitutionally acceptable as a mechanism of regulation, its actual functioning
