Shivsai S Nakul, National Law University Odisha India’s colonial-era High Courts were not merely designed as houses of adjudication; they were carefully integrated into the grand architecture of empire, deliberately sited next to sprawling, landscaped maidans, parks, and public gardens. This British civic planning was meant to project an aura of serene, detached authority. Decades later, however, this geographical intimacy has birthed a fascinating judicial paradox. While the

Snigdha Das, Calcutta University ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether caste can serve as the definitive constitutional yardstick for backwardness under Article 15 or if jurisprudence has rendered such singular categories obsolete. While Public Interest Litigation (PIL) promised to bridge the gap between constitutional ideals and lived realities, decades of Article 15 litigation reveal a deep structural stagnation, exposing a "paternalism paradox" where the Court oscillate

Swetangi Ranjan, WBNUJS, Kolkata. ABSTRACT In this era of Globalization, economic growth is seen as the very primary indicator of a Country’s growth and development. India’s post-liberalization economic growth has been celebrated at the global level because of increasing upward ascent and rapid growth and integration into the global economy. Still, beneath the aggregate success stories of India, now the country having one of the largest GDP, lies a persistent question: does t

Jyoti, LL.M. (CPGLS), Constitutional and Administrative Law, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. ABSTRACT Women’s unpaid household work constitutes a substantial yet largely invisible form of labour in India. Despite its essential contribution to the functioning of families and the wider economy, domestic work performed predominantly by women is generally excluded from conventional notions of productive employment because it does not g

Santhosh M, The Central Law College, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Barely a decade ago cryptocurrency was a fringe experiment in peer-to-peer computing; today it sits on the balance sheets of retail investors, corporate treasuries, and a handful of listed companies. India's regulatory posture toward this shift has been guarded and, more than once, self-contradictory. The Reserve Bank of India's first serious attempt to keep virtual currencies out of the bank

M. K. Kameshwaran & R. Logeshwaran, B.A. LL.B., The Central Law College, Salem ABSTRACT The advent of digital technologies has brought about a paradigm shift in corporate governance, compelling a reevaluation of traditional corporate law frameworks.

Vaijayanti Lele, MIT-WPU School of Law;Research Intern, Centre for Crime Sciences and Forensic Intelligence (CCSFI) ABSTRACT This article develops a comparative historical stress-test to examine how recurring epistemic problems in intelligence practice can inform contemporary Intelligence-Led Policing (ILP) and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) without assuming historical continuity. Using a qualitative comparative historical methodology, it examines six historically distinct

Harshita Tiwari, Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya ABSTRACT This research paper examines the critical intersection of gender-specific legislation and the escalating mental health crisis among men in India. Over the last decade (2015–2025), data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has highlighted a harrowing trend: men account for a disproportionately high percentage of suicides, with "family problems" and "marriage-related issues" consistently cited as prima

Ojasvi Vijay, Symbiosis Law School Nagpur ABSTRACT Article 281 of the Indian Constitution prohibits religious instruction in State- funded educational institutions in order to uphold secularism and safeguard individual freedom of conscience. The changing socio-cultural dynamics and growing diversity within educational environments, however, call for a reconsideration of its existing purview. The shortcomings of Article 28 in response to the new challenges of today, including

Kause Hrishikesh Eknath, Siddharth College of Law, Fort, Mumbai, 414001 ABSTRACT Startup acquisitions in India are frequently presented as valuation-driven transactions, but the price agreed in a term sheet is only a provisional economic outcome. Legal due diligence determines whether that headline valuation will survive signing, be reduced through a price adjustment, be secured by an escrow or holdback, or cause the transaction not to close at all. In an Indian startup acqui

Rudra Prasad Rimal, LLM (Criminal Law), Faculty of Law, the ICFAI University, Gangtok, Sikkim ABSTRACT The Indian judiciary has made significant progress in adopting information and communication technologies through the e-Courts Mission Mode Project, electronic filing (e-Filing), virtual hearings, and the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG). These initiatives have substantially reduced dependence on physical records and have improved accessibility and transparency within the

Nikunj Pratap Singh, R K College of Law, Firozabad, U.P. ABSTRACT Becoming a lawyer in India looks straightforward on paper: clear the examination, enrol with the Bar Council, and start practising. In reality, the first few years are considerably more complex. This paper examines what junior advocates actually experience when they start out the barriers they face in gaining a foothold, the patchy and often unequal mentorship system they depend on, and the everyday struggle to

Kashish Anand, MIT- World Peace University, Pune ABSTRACT Behavioural evidence, drawn from victim selection, offender approach, control, concealment, staging, escalation, communication, post offence conduct, deception, linkage, and risk, plays an increasingly visible role in criminal investigation. Its investigative value is well documented, yet its evidentiary value is far less settled, and the two are routinely conflated in practice. This article argues that behavioural evi

Nazren Huda, Lecturer, Department of Law and Justice, Bangladesh Army University of Engineering and Technology (BAUET), Qadirabad Cantonment, Natore, Bangladesh. ABSTRACT Divorce is becoming more common in Bangladesh and women often carry the heaviest economic burden once a marriage ends. The present legal framework, especially the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 and the Family Courts Act, 2023, mainly focuses on maintenance during the iddat period, a short waiting period o

Shivam Kishore, B.A. LL.B. (Hons), Amity Law School, Noida ABSTRACT This paper examines why the State of Goa, unlike the great majority of Indian States and several comparable Union Territories, has not unbundled or corporatized its power utility in the two decades since Electricity Act, 2003 (“EA 2003”) came into force. Electricity supply in Goa continues to be administered directly by a government department – the Electricity Department, Government of Goa – functioning as a

Samaadrita Ganguly, Symbiosis Law School, Pune ABSTRACT Over the years, the rapid expansion of the digital fandom has transformed engagement with actors into an overly personal and often intrusive relationship. Especially for Romance-driven shows and movies, which encourage the audience to emotionally connect and invest themselves in fictional relationships; however, this investment also blurs the distinction between characters and character performers. Using examples from sh

Sudhakar Thakur, LLB, St. Wilfred’s College of Law, Panvel, Maharashtra Revati Goswami, LLB, St. Wilfred’s College of Law, Panvel, Maharashtra ABSTRACT Digital technology has transformed human civilization from physical communities into networked societies.

Sneh Pandey, Research Scholar, Nehru Gram Bharti (Deemed University), Prayagraj ABSTRACT The development of generative artificial intelligence presents a test case to the fundamental assumption of copyright law, which is that authorship is necessarily human. In a situation whereby the person is involved in initiating, selecting, curating, and organizing the output generated by the machine, the problem facing the copyright authorities is that of the adequacy of human intervent

Shreya Das, B.A. LL.B., KIIT School of Law ABSTRACT Supreme Court made a very significant comment in Ankhim Holdings Pvt. Ltd. v. Zaveri Construction Pvt. Ltd, that a court exercising the narrow substitution jurisdiction under section 15(2) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 cannot retrospectively declare arbitral proceedings a nullity merely because they were conducted during a moratorium under section 14 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
