Eestaa Patnaik, KIIT School of Law, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India ABSTRACT India's environmental regulations have taken an absolute liability stance. However, the enforcement of these laws is lagging. As a result of the change in focus from criminal jail time to administrative fines during the period 2024-2026, a “Pay and Pollute” culture developed in which companies treat fines as just another cost of doing business. This is made worse by a “Recovery Paralysis”, where overwhelm

Jazib Ahmad Yatoo, Advocate High Court of J&K and Ladakh. ABSTRACT Section 148A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 gives a person who claims a right to be heard a narrow but useful safeguard: it lets that person ensure that an application likely to be made, or already made, in a suit or proceeding is not decided in his absence.

P. Priyanka, LL.M., The Central Law College, Salem ABSTRACT Gender-based aggression is rarely a self-contained act; in the Indian context it is almost always mediated through a background relationship of power.
