Abstract

Digital privacy poses a new challenge in the technology-driven world. The right to Privacy, which is practised under Article 21 of our Constitution, is affirmed as a fundamental right and includes the protection of personal data or privacy of data. But now in this digital world, the major concern is for the security of data. Due to the proliferation of technology and the huge collection and storage of data, people are more aware of the risks and vulnerabilities related to their information and personal data. On one hand, the Right to privacy is a fundamental right, while on the other hand, data protection is a legal framework in this digital Era. Due to growth in digital technologies, it is very challenging nowadays to protect personal Data or Data Privacy, which ultimately leads towards a comprehensive law to regulate the same. And subsequently, in August 2023, the landmark legislation named the DPDP Act,2023, for data protection in India and handling digital data. Strict implementation of the Act will make this paradigm shift from right to privacy to personal data protection very safe and protected. Because nowadays privacy is not just about isolation, but it also refers to empowerment.

Abstract

India needs to move away from the current “take, make, throw” system and adopt a circular economy, a model where materials are reused, repaired, and recycled so that almost nothing is wasted. This paper looks at how India can make this shift through stronger laws and policies. It studies the existing legal framework and highlights key challenges such as poor waste segregation, weak enforcement, and the under-recognition of informal waste workers. Suggesting practical solutions, where, by treating waste as a valuable resource, India can not only create employment and reduce pollution but also take a major step towards achieving the vision of a clean, sustainable, and prosperous circular economy.

ABSTRACT

The India’s airline industry has experienced a quick transformation in the last 20 years, as flying in India changed from being a luxury for the few to an everyday choice for millions. Low-cost carriers made air travel affordable, regional connectivity schemes opened up smaller towns to flights, and more Indians began choosing planes over trains for long journeys. But even though there was growth, INDIA’S airline industry has witnessed significant financial turbulence in recent years, with leading airlines i.e., Kingfisher and Jet Airways collapsing under debt and operational challenges. This research paper provides an in-depth study of the legislations managing aviation insolvency in India, with a special focus on the incorporation of the CapeTown Convention 2001 and its Aircraft Protocol, 2008 into domestic law. Key legislations such as 2016 (IBC) code, civil aviation laws, the newly enacted The Protection of Interests in Aircraft Objects Act, 2025 are examined in detail. Through this paper an attempt is made to draw a comparison between India’s airline insolvency regime and global insolvency standards to figure out the positive aspects that can be borrowed from other jurisdictions and where the gaps still exist.

An understanding on how Indian courts have dealt at times of airline insolvencies when cases like – Awas Ireland v. DGCA (2015), Jet Airways (2019 and 2024), and Go Airlines (2023–24) come up before them. This comparative analysis showcases that by adopting the Cape Town Convention, how it has strengthened the domestic laws, enhanced creditors protection and narrowed the gap between Indian laws and global standards. Despite this, certain challenges still exist, especially with respect to its implementation on a day-to-day basis, lack of co-ordination in cases related to cross-border insolvency, and creating a balanced approach between protection and enforcement of creditors rights and raising the airline revival chances.

Abstract

Legal education in India is witnessing a surge in popularity, attracting students from diverse academic streams who view law as a blend of analytical rigor and social impact. However, this rising interest also reveals a critical gap: many students enter law schools by circumstance rather than passion, often as an alternative to competitive exams like NEET and JEE. While this pathway is not inherently problematic, it highlights the mismatch between the perceived image of legal education and its actual preparedness to train competent lawyers. This reality underscores the urgent need for reforms that align legal education with the demands of the profession and the aspirations of a new generation.

ABSTRACT

The context of federalism is much complex in the country’s governance. This gathers the varied autonomous bodies into a single union umbrella of union/federal. Federalism concentrates upon the unity and distribution or decentralization of power between the national and the states. The citizens of the federal state share will act on the authorities of the two governments whose position and powers are very well defined but they aren’t in the watertight containers. The article 370 in the constituent assembly had a significant role to give them a special status due to their historical setback. The abrogation happens to be a concept of being discussed as the constituent assembly declared not to modify the special status without the special constituent assembly. National security laws are general guiding principles to the country’s diplomatic, intelligence, military, social and criminal foundations.

Abstract

The Supreme Court of India’s Stray Dog Verdict (2025) marked a decisive intervention in balancing public health concerns with animal rights protections. Triggered by rising incidents of dog bites and rabies deaths, the Court declared a public health emergency in Delhi NCR and directed municipal authorities to remove stray dogs from public spaces and place them in shelters. The judgment emphasized the constitutional duty of compassion for animals (Art. 51A(g)) while prioritizing citizens’ right to life and safety (Art. 21). It mandated sterilization drives, vaccination programs, and accountability of municipal bodies, while also clarifying guidelines on feeding stray dogs. The verdict sparked debate between animal welfare advocates and public safety proponents, highlighting the tension between humane treatment and urgent health measures.

ABSTRACT:

India’s approach to corporate insolvency resolution has evolved from the framework established under the sick industrial companies act, 1985 to the current system governed by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The board of industrial and financial reconstruction was created to facilitate the revival of sick industrial companies. However, its effectiveness was compromised due to more delays, complicative procedures, and insufficient participation from creditors. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code established the National Company Law Tribunal as the adjudicating authority, leading to a streamlined resolution process with fixed timelines. The shift from BIFR to NCLT was intended to improve asset value and promote economic stability. This article critically examines the transformation from BIFR to NCLT and it also evaluates the impact on companies’ insolvency resolution in India.

Abstract

India’s insolvency framework was fundamentally restructured in 2016 through the enactment of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which unified and modernised the previously fragmented laws governing insolvency and restructuring of individuals, partnerships, and corporate entities. Under this consolidated statutory regime, liquidation refers to the formal termination of a corporate debtor’s business operations, accompanied by the systematic realisation and distribution of its assets among eligible stakeholders in circumstances where revival is no longer feasible. Liquidation may be triggered either upon a determination by the Committee of Creditors that winding up represents the most commercially prudent outcome or upon the failure of the corporate insolvency resolution process to yield an approved resolution plan. The process is conducted under the supervisory jurisdiction of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which ensures institutional oversight and procedural compliance. In accordance with Section 34 of the IBC, the liquidator assumes control over the corporate debtor’s estate and is entrusted with functions including the verification of claims, custody and preservation of assets, and their realisation in a manner aimed at maximising value. The allocation of proceeds from liquidation is regulated by the statutory priority framework set out in Section 53, which accords precedence to secured creditors and certain protected claims, including those relating to employees. By instituting a creditor-driven, time-bound, and rule-based mechanism, the IBC has substantially improved the transparency, predictability, and efficiency of liquidation proceedings as compared to the pre-IBC regime. Although liquidation is generally viewed as a measure of last resort due to comparatively lower recovery outcomes, it plays a critical role in enforcing credit discipline and resolving cases of sustained financial failure. Ongoing legislative amendments and judicial interpretation have further refined the liquidation process, particularly in relation to stakeholder entitlements, valuation standards, and the avoidance of preferential, undervalued, or fraudulent transactions. This paper examines the legal framework, procedural mechanics, and practical implications of liquidation under the IBC, 2016, underscoring its significance within India’s evolving insolvency system.

ABSTRACT

Marital rape remains one of the most silenced violations in India. It hides behind domestic walls, masked by the idea of marital duty and emotional loyalty. Even after the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, the law continues to exempt husbands from punishment for non-consensual intercourse with their wives. This article is written from a place of empathy and reflection. It questions why the law hesitates to acknowledge that consent does not vanish after marriage. Through emotional reasoning and legal awareness, it argues that the absence of criminalisation is not just a legislative gap but a moral failure.
