ABSTRACT

Taxation increases government revenue which could be utilized to fund certain essential services and social goods that the mercantile world would never have provided if they had to operate solely on profits. Given that taxes are obligatory contributions levied on income, it is paramount to put the right tax system in place, one that encourages compliance, while at the same time remains fair to all taxpayers. Tax compliance depends critically on three things: the rate of taxation, the perceived threat of detection, and the penalties for failing to pay taxes.

Tax policy is best formulated when the system has a broad base with a low and simple rate. Simplifying tax laws allows taxpayers to easily understand and comply with their obligations, as well as to minimize the cost of taxation. This denotes the costs of collection for the government, the costs of compliance for the taxpayer, and the cost of output as impacted by taxation.

Encouraging compliance and ensuring that tax systems work fairly for all citizens consist of a straightforward system to collect taxes, which also affords lower tax rates while generating the necessary revenue for public services. In addition, by administrating taxes with modern technologies, it becomes considerably easier to increase detection rates of any refusal to comply and thus encourage voluntary tax compliance.

This paper attempts to develop those design aspects of tax compliance in a way that underlines the contribution of technology in effective tax administration in the Indian context.

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the law of criminal contempt in India and the United States, focusing specifically on the intersection between judicial authority, contempt provisions, and freedom of expression. It traces the historical evolution and origins of contempt law in both jurisdictions, highlighting the British colonial legacy in India and the significant influence of First Amendment jurisprudence in the United States.^[1] The analysis contrasts India’s expansive use of criminal contempt to safeguard judicial dignity, including the controversial offence of “scandalising the court,” with the more restrained American approach that prioritises free speech and narrowly limits judicial powers to sanction contempt.^[2] Key statutory provisions, landmark judicial interpretations, and contemporary debates in both nations are examined to illustrate the differing philosophical and constitutional perspectives on balancing judicial integrity against democratic freedoms.^[3] Ultimately, the paper argues for reforming India’s contempt laws by adopting clearer guidelines and greater protections for freedom of expression, drawing insightful recommendations from the more speech-protective American legal framework.^[4]

INTRODUCTION

Established in 2000, Jharkhand is a state in eastern India that emerged from Bihar with the promise of empowerment and prosperity. Jharkhand has enormous economic potential and is abundant in natural resources, including as coal, iron ore, and mineral richness. Nevertheless, in spite of these benefits, it faces significant socioeconomic difficulties, namely high unemployment rates, especially among its young people. Lack of high-quality education is a major contributing element to this situation, which has significant effects on skill development and employability.

ABSTRACT

The management of natural resources in a sustainable development has become an important part for life survival on earth. Due to the ecological degradation and the loss in biodiversity there is a serious impact on our Nature. The environment is being supported by human survival in turn which conserves nature. Tribal groups who live in harmony with various elements of nature by the use of a range of traditional practices which involve culture, rituals, religious belief, customs, tradition and their heritage preserve biodiversity. Biodiversity is composed of various life forms such as plants that serve as an edible food in the form of roots, seeds, fruits, agricultural and horticulture plants. Some of the indigenous people preserve the resources by incorporating the traditional practices to increase the restoration of the environment. This paper will discuss the significant role played by the tribals in preserving biodiversity in India. This paper will show the importance of the tribals in preserving the plants as a matter of religious belief that they are the habitat of god and goddesses. It will describe the various traditional practices by tribes located in several parts of India and highlight on the cultural beliefs and practices of the indigenous people as part of heritage wherein it preserves biodiversity in a manner of environmental management and sustainable development.

BEST CITATION – NIVEDITA SHARMA & HARSHITA BHARGAVA, THE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD OF LEGAL INTERNSHIP, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 5 (11) OF 2025, PG. 218-229, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344

INTRODUCTION

Legal internships offer a complicated web of opportunities and difficulties that are sometimes referred to as a “double-edged sword.” On the one hand, these internships provide priceless experiences that can greatly expand an intern’s comprehension of the legal field. They also present networking and practical skill possibilities that are critical for career progression. They provide an essential link between professional activity and academic education, enabling interns to put their theoretical knowledge to use in practical situations.

However, these expectations are usually not met by the realities of legal internships. Numerous interns work in settings characterized by intense rivalry, little mentorship, and occasionally abusive circumstances. The discrepancy between interns’ expectations and experiences might cause disillusionment, which can affect their motivation and job satisfaction in the legal industry. The systemic problems, such as those involving equity and exploitation, that are inherent in the design of legal internships are called into question by this phenomenon.

Examining internships’ dual nature—recognizing their ability to both promote professional progress and perpetuate inequities—becomes essential as the legal profession struggles with these issues. The revolving dichotomy is how the workings of legal internships can both empower and disenfranchise future attorneys.

ROLE OF FAMILY COURTS IN HINDU MARRAIGES

BEST CITATION – DIVYANSHU KRISHNA, ROLE OF FAMILY COURTS IN HINDU MARRAIGES, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 5 (11) OF 2025, PG. 202-217, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344

Chapter 1: Introduction

Background and Significance of the Study

Family is the fundamental unit of society , and the institution of marriage serves as its cornerstone , especially within the hindu community where marriage is traditionally considered a scarcement (samskara) rather than contract . However , the increasing complexity of modern relationships , urbanization, and individual autonomy have led to a rising number of matrimonial disputes, including issues related to divorce, maintenance , custody, and domestic violence .

To address such sensitive matters with a conciliatory approach, the Family Courts Act 1984 was enacted to establish a special forum for resolving family and matrimonial disputes in a humane, non- adversarial and expeditious manner. These courts aim not only to adjudicate but also to reconcile parties , wherever possible , before the breakdown of marriage becomes irreparable .

In Hindu Law, where traditional customs intersect statutory provisions under The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 the role of family courts becomes more critical. This study explores the effectiveness and significance of family courts in maintaining the sanctity of Hindu marriage while balancing individual rights and legal remedie.

Abstract

This research paper explores the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in criminal investigation mechanisms, with a particular focus on India while also drawing comparative insights from other countries like the UK, USA, and China. Using both quantitative and qualitative surveys and open-ended questions, the study gathers opinions from law students, legal professionals, and technical experts to capture diverse perspectives on the subject. The findings show that while many people trust AI’s ability to support crime detection, there are serious concerns about privacy, fairness, and bias. Case studies like that of USA, UK and China show how AI is already helping to solve crimes and manage legal work. However, the study also highlights the need for strong human oversight, strict regulations, and better public awareness. A theoretical framework is also developed within the study, outlining the evolution of AI in criminal investigations, mapping current global trends, analysing the associated ethical and technical challenges, and proposing potential solutions to address them. The paper concludes that while AI offers considerable promise in transforming legal systems and investigative methodologies, its implementation must be approached with caution, transparency, and a firm commitment to upholding fundamental rights and legal integrity.

Abstract

Introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity systems is a revolutionary advantage in the areas of threat detection, fraud prevention, and response to a given incident. Nonetheless, it has also brought with it dicey ethical and legal issues. Malicious individuals grow to use AI to carry out complex cyberattacks, including deep fake frauds, machine-code malware, and data poisoning attacks, bringing new liability, privacy, governance, and jurisdiction concerns. This article describes the legal risks of AI-based cybersecurity threats and discusses the emergent changes in regulations in different major jurisdictions, such as the European Union, the United States, and India. It discusses key legal frameworks including EU Artificial Intelligence Act, NIS2 Directive, DPDP Act of India or U.S Executive Orders of AI. Internal governance processes that an agency should implement, as detailed in the article, are the board level oversights, adversarial testing, and incident reporting ones. Lastly, it pinpoints the need to address the emerging legal confusion like autonomous offensive AI and quantum-enabled cryptanalysis. The article gives practical suggestions to the legal practitioners, policy- makers, and business executives involved in a cross-sectoral and comparative approach to the problem of AI and its laws of cybersecurity.
