INTRODUCTION

The history of Judiciary in India dates long back the period of civilization which was governed by Natural laws or the self proclaimed divine rules. According to these laws and theories, the sovereign had the most legitimate authority to rule a particular territory and they were considered the sole minister of justice, as was believed by the scholars of that era that God himself has granted them the divine right to rule. This was assumed because the Indian society in its budding age was classified on the basis of the occupation (Varna). It was derived from the Ancient Vedic Texts; this was very flexible noble form of division of the society, allowing people to change their social stratum in relation to their proclivity toward a particular line of occupation permitting mobility in their social conditions. This comprehensive system of division of labor and social status promoted harmony and order in the society. This form societal structure also laid down certain moral and theological procedures provisions to resolve conflict in the society if any which were called the rules according to the Dharma or the way life.

THE INVISIBLE THREAT: UNDERSTANDING POISON CRIME IN THE COLONIAL ASSAM

Abstract

This essay explores the occurrence of poison-related crimes in late nineteenth century Assam, focusing on the movement of toxic substances across various societal domains, including medical practices and the legal system. During this period, Assamese society grappled with what seemed like a surge in poisoning incidents, often involving the use of “aconite” commonly known as “Indian monkshood” or “Bikh”, which held the notorious reputation of being the “king of poisons” in the nineteenth century. From a legal perspective, poisons were insidious tools for carrying out covert murders that proved challenging to prosecute in court. Due to the clandestine nature of poisoning crimes, the testimony of ordinary witnesses was often inadequate, prompting judges to frequently seek the counsel of medical and chemical experts. Consequently, poison in the nineteenth century served multiple roles as an everyday substance, a focus of scientific inquiry, a tool for criminals, a weapon of the vulnerable, and a subject of legal attention. Its meanings and significance varied significantly among different stakeholders, including forensic experts, lawyers, judges, and even poisoners themselves. The essay argues that these movements and interactions were multidirectional, presenting new challenges and complexities for toxicologists in the courtroom. This intricate landscape helps explain why poisoners in the nineteenth century differed significantly from other conventional criminals, not only in terms of gender but also in their social standing. Many poisoners were individuals of respectability who had never before been involved in criminal activities. Some were even close relatives or friends of the victims, allowing them easy access to poisons for domestic purposes and enabling them to administer them discreetly without arousing suspicion.

ABSTRACT

This comparative study examines the punishment and penalty frameworks for tax crimes in India and Russia, analyzing their legal structures, enforcement mechanisms, and effectiveness as deterrents. The research explores how these two diverse economies with significant informal sectors address tax evasion and avoidance through their respective legislative and administrative approaches.The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the punishment and penalties for tax crimes in India and Russia, evaluating their effectiveness in deterring tax evasion and ensuring compliance.  Key differences emerge in their definitional boundaries of tax crimes, severity of sanctions, and enforcement priorities, reflecting their distinct legal traditions and policy objectives.Tax crimes are a significant concern for governments worldwide as they undermine economic stability, reduce public revenues, and distort fair competition. Countries impose strict penalties and punishments to deter tax evasion, fraud, and other related offenses. This study examines the legal framework governing tax crimes in India and Russia, analyzing the similarities and differences in their approaches.The objective of the study in to examine the factors that influence the severity of punishment for tax crimes in India and to examine whether the current penalties for tax crimes are well effective.The research method followed here is empirical research and the sample frame is 200 collected in and around chennai.The findings is that in India tax enforcement is largely administrative, with criminal prosecution used in extreme cases. Many cases are settled through penalties rather than imprisonment and in Russia enforcement is more centralized, with strict criminal prosecution of tax offenders. Authorities actively monitor tax payments through digital tracking and banking regulations.In conclusion both India and Russia have well-defined laws for tax crimes, but Russia’s system is more centralized and stringent, while India relies on a combination of administrative penalties, voluntary disclosure schemes, and criminal prosecution in severe cases.Russia imposes harsher penalties, including longer prison sentences and asset confiscation, which act as a stronger deterrent. In contrast, India focuses more on fines and voluntary compliance schemes, making its enforcement more flexible but sometimes less effective in preventing tax evasion.

Abstract

In 2015, India’s Supreme Court nullified Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 due to its problematic ambiguity and disproportionately restrictive nature on free speech. Almost ten years later, India has entered an era marred by technologically exacerbated harms such as AI deepfakes, voice scams, highly orchestrated hate campaigns, and even psychological cyberbullying. This paper claims that the need for a constitutionally compliant cyber speech regulation framework is urgent. Addressing current challenges and global best practices alongside the legal void, the paper seeks to propose an amended Section 66A that upholds constitutional liberties alongside digital dignity, neutralism, foresight, and technological anticipation.

ABSTRACT

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 2014 was enacted to strengthen protections for federal employees who expose government misconduct, aiming to encourage accountability and transparency within federal agencies. This critical analysis examines the effectiveness of the Act, highlighting its achievements and the persistent challenges faced by whistleblowers, such as retaliation and lack of real safeguards. Despite improvements over previous legislation, the Act falls short in providing adequate legal protections, effective mechanisms for reporting, and sufficient remedies for whistleblowers. Furthermore, the underwhelming response from federal agencies to reported disclosures raises concerns about the genuine commitment to fostering a culture of transparency. This analysis reinforces the urgent need for reform to enhance protections, streamline the reporting processes, and ensure that whistleblowers can safely and effectively carry out their civic duty without fear of damages.

Abstract

The question that arises here is that even after 75 years of Independence does women of independent India enjoys their rights at the full extent. As we all know that in the present legal system the personal laws govern the matters related to marriage, divorce, inheritance and succession and it is quite clear that there is connivance between the personal laws and patriarchy. Presently, due to the political situation women’s rights continues to be conquered by the discussion of majority and minority in the sake of vote bank policy, there is a need to make a paradigm shift towards the protection of rights of women. It has been seen very often that somewhere the Gender Equality stands settled by personal laws in India and in the sake of the political vote bank even the legislature don’t dare to amend the discriminatory personal laws.

UCC which means uniform law for all is envisaged under Article 44 of the Constitution of India which states that “it is the duty of the State to secure for the citizen a Uniform Civil Code throughout the territory of India.”^[1]. UCC forecast the idea of governing all people belonging to different religion and regions under same law. The eminent feature of UCC is that it has the ability to restore the concept of women empowerment which India always concerned about. It aims to replace the customary personal laws which are discriminatory on the basis of gender. This paper tries to analyze the oppression of women under personal laws and how it can be curbed out by the implication of UCC. This paper will also put a light on the history of personal laws and different landmark cases which dealt with the constitutionality of particular provisions of personal laws.

The Indian Constitution, in Article 14, states that all individuals should be treated equally under the law, without any discrimination based on caste, race, religion, place of birth, or gender. It also ensures that every individual, irrespective of gender, has the fundamental right to protection of life and personal freedom, as detailed in Article 21, which has been expanded by the Supreme Court (SC) through numerous cases as required. The term ‘right to life and personal liberty’ encompasses multiple dimensions, including but not limited to the right to work, the right to a clean and healthy environment, the right to a secure workplace, the right to a fair trial, and the right to privacy, as clarified by the SC on various occasions.
