Shruti Mungikar, Government Law College, Mumbai I. Introduction The urgent need to reform India's real estate industry, a major economic engine that had long required regulation, gave rise to the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). For far too long, the industry lacked a single set of rules that it could adhere to, which allowed for enduring problems like ongoing project delays, dishonest marketing, and general lack of accountability. After investing th

Suryadeep Mohan, Advocate, District and Sessions Court, Meerut ABSTRACT The question of the divisibility of contracts entered into between various parties holds significant importance for revenue authorities, particularly given that contract clauses are often drafted to minimize tax liabilities.

Darisa Venkata Gayathri, Vellore Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh ABSTRACT The Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI"), entrusted with the mandate of protecting investors and regulating the securities market, has increasingly resorted to freezing demat accounts as a regulatory enforcement tool.

Kanishk Dohare, National Law Institute University, Bhopal Chirag Saxena, National Law Institute University, Bhopal ABSTRACT The mental well-being of students in Indian higher education has historically been relegated to the periphery of institutional policy, framed as a matter of administrative discretion rather than a legally enforceable constitutional right.

Neilotpla Palak & Akshat Pugalia, LL.B. (Hons.), National Law University Odisha ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence now plays a growing role in generating and processing sports data, from real-time analytics to predictive modelling and biomechanical tracking.

Aditya Vikram Sen, B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), Jindal Global Law School (O. P. Jindal Global University) ABSTRACT Corporate Governance, analogous to its parliamentary equivalent, entails the will of the majority as a key feature of a company’s decision-making process. Simultaneously, it also safeguards the interests of the minority members from unjust prejudice caused to their interests.

Aditi Thakur, Co-Founder, Footnote ABSTRACT Beneficial ownership is a fundamental concept in international taxation, particularly in determining eligibility for tax treaty benefits and addressing arrangements involving treaty abuse and tax avoidance.
