Vishnu Prasath V S., B.A LL.B. (Hons.), School of Law, Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan University, Tiruchirappalli. ABSTRACT The rapid spread of the gig and platform economy has fundamentally unsettled how we think about work and its legal protections.

Pragati Singh, B.A. (Policy Science) LL.B. (Hons.), National Law University Meghalaya ABSTRACT The explosion of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing and the FinTech revolution have created a landscape for sophisticated white- collar crime: greenwashing fraud and cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes that subvert India’s contemporary enforcement architecture.

The Competition (Amendment) Act introduced a transaction-value based trigger for acquisitions exceeding Rs. 2,000 crore now require CCI clearance irrespective of whether the target generates any domestic revenue.

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. This paper discusses the situation after the decision, asking whether India has an

(Hons.), National Law University, Jodhpur ABSTRACT The proliferation of state fragmentation, through secession, dissolution and separation, has generated a persistently unresolved question in public international law.

Ms. Sumanpreet Kaur, Research Scholar, Department of Laws, Panjab University, Chandigarh ABSTRACT Trade liberalisation is one of the prominent aspects of today’s economy. It gives the States freedom to trade globally. It can also create opportunities for domestic manufacturers to expand their export markets and access new customers abroad.

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.

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.
