Muskan Bansal, LLM, CT University (CTU), Ludhiana Dr. Chenna Abrol, CT University (CTU), Ludhiana ABSTRACT For decades, Indian bail jurisprudence has operated on a paradox: while the Supreme Court champions "bail, not jail" as a mandate of Article 21, the reality for thousands of undertrials is a system defined by colonial-era inertia and economic barriers.

Ramsha Khan, Jamia Hamdard University Introduction The law, in its most assured posture, proclaims certainty. It classifies, commands, restrains, and sanctions with the confidence of an authority that presumes itself both rational and complete. Yet, at the fringes of its dominion, there persists a troubling frontier, one where life no longer follows its natural course but is instead prolonged through artificial means, sustained by instruments rather than instinct. Here, medic

Gracy Tanwar, National Law University Odisha I. INTRODUCTION The implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, 2017, marked the most profound structural shift in India's indirect tax framework since the nation attained independence.
