Ngahnunhoi Haokip, Christ University Lavasa, Pune ABSTRACT Article 356 of the Constitution of India is a special constitutional mechanism in place to counter cases when the working of the governance of a State cannot be conducted in accordance with the constitutional provisions. Although this was originally meant to be a remarkable protection to ensure federal integrity, democratic governance and national unity, its implementation has elicited a lot of controversy.

Prachi Garg, National Law University, Delhi CHAPTER 01- INTRODUCTION: The way the world views creativity and invention has changed as a result of the development of artificial intelligence. Today, machines are capable of creating paintings, poetry, music, and even inventions that previously required human creativity. The conventional wisdom that authorship and ownership in intellectual property law belong exclusively to humans is being challenged by this quick change. The leg

Priyal, Research Scholar, Department of Laws, University of Jammu ABSTRACT The concept of development, encompassing progress has long been intertwined with India’s discourse on environmental concerns. Despite being a common heritage, the environment has suffered significant degradation and ecological imbalances in the pursuit of development, particularly exacerbated since India’s shift from planned economy to a market economy. Despite legislative efforts and judicial interven

Charu Singh, IILM, Greater Noida ABSTRACT The globalization of digital technologies has transformed personal data into a fluid, borderless resource, challenging the traditional jurisdictional boundaries of national legal systems. While states continue to regulate privacy through territorially grounded frameworks such as the GDPR, CCPA, and India’s DPDP Act, the inherently transnational movement of data generates legal conflicts, regulatory uncertainty, and uneven levels of ri

Jayanthan V.T.S., School of Law, SASTRA Deemed to be University, Thanjavur, India. ABSTRACT India’s Trade Marks Act, 1999 formally introduced protection for well known trade marks, granting broad rights to famous brands beyond their registered classes. This paper examines how “well known marks” are defined and protected under Indian law (notably sec 2(1)(zg),sec 11–12, 29), and how courts have interpreted these provisions (e.g. Whirlpool, ITC v. Punchgini). We analyze the con

Farhana Banu, The Central Law College Salem ABSTRACT Criminology has increasingly shifted from a punitive framework to a more humane and reform-oriented perspective known as the protective approach. The approach emphasizes prevention, rehabilitation, and social welfare rather than mere punishment. The present study examines criminal activities such as bootlegging, drug abuse, and environmental pollution as manifestations of deeper social, economic, and structural problems rat

Somya Suman, Gittaratan International Business School, GGSIPU Dr. Nidhi Sharma, Gitarattan International Business School, GGSIPU ABSTRACT Criminal justice systems worldwide are increasingly questioning whether punishment alone can break cycles of reoffending. Restorative justice (RJ) responds to this concern by shifting focus toward healing and bringing victims, offenders, and communities together to address harm in ways that conventional courts rarely achieve. This paper exp

Fatima Faridi, LLB (Hons.), Amity Law School, Noida ABSTRACT Corporate criminal liability in India has evolved not by legislative design but through a reactive arc stretching from the industrial catastrophe of 1984 to the criminal law reforms of 2023. This article traces that evolution through three doctrinal phases: an era of strict civil liability coexisting with effective corporate criminal immunity; a period of judicial revolution in which the Supreme Court adopted the id

Amar Bahadur Yadav, Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar ABSTRACT Whether an artificial legal person, a corporation, which has neither a soul nor physical body, can be criminally liable to commit a crime with a guilty mind has been a long-standing issue in courts in common law jurisdictions. In India, the case Iridium India Telecom Ltd. v. Motorola Inc (2011) provided a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court that clarifies the underlying inquiry: corporations are subjec

Anushka Goyal & Vedika Agrawal ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the gig economy has fundamentally transformed traditional employment structures by introducing flexible, platforms- based work arrangements that rely on independent contractors rather than formal employer-employee’s relationships. While this shift has created new income- generating opportunities, especially for women seeking flexible schedules, it has also exposed them to significant legal, social and economic vul

Sneha Singh, Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Management Studies, Rohini ABSTRACT The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) brought a major change to India’s criminal justice system. It replaced the colonial-era Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) with a new legal framework. At the center of this change is the transformation of the controversial sedition clause, Section 124A IPC, into the newly defined Section 152 BNS. This new section makes it a crime to commit “acts endangering sovere

Mahi Sharma, MIT WPU, Pune ABSTRACT Freedom of speech and expression guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India is one of the most essential components of India's democracy.

Chelsy Mehta, National Law Institute University, Bhopal ABSTRACT This paper dives into the tough questions generative artificial intelligence(AI) raises for India’s copyright system, particularly in music. It contends that the Copyright Act of 1957, rooted in human notions of ‘author’ and ‘originality’, falls short when dealing with AI-created tunes. By examining key legal clauses, Indian rulings like the RAGHAV mess and the unfolding ANI v OpenAI battle, plus lessons from ab

Deepanshu Soral, Jagannath University, Jaipur Dr. Suman Paliwal, Jagannath University, Jaipur ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of creativity, innovation, and knowledge production.
