Abstract

 According to Pound, “Law is social engineering which means a balance between the competing interests in society,” in which applied science are used for resolving individual and social problems.” Roscoe Pound gave the theory of Social Engineering in which he compared lawyers with the Engineers. Engineers are required to use their engineering skill to manufacture new products. Similarly, social engineers are required to build that type of structure in the society which provides maximum happiness and minimum friction.

The Social Engineering Theory focuses on the use of educational policies to promote social change and equity. In the context of education policy in India, this theory is applied to analyze how government policies aim to address social inequalities and promote access to education among diverse groups. For instance, India has implemented policies such as affirmative action through reservations in educational institutions to uplift historically disadvantaged communities. The Social Engineering Theory can help evaluate the effectiveness of these policies in bringing about social change and whether they are achieving their intended goals. It can also be used to study the impact of initiatives like the Right to Education Act in improving access to quality education, especially for marginalized groups. By examining the objectives, implementation, and outcomes of education policies in India through the lens of the Social Engineering Theory, policymakers and researchers can gain insights into how these policies are shaping the educational landscape and contributing to social transformation.  To evaluate the extent to which the theory of social engineering helps to frame and regulate the policies related to education is the intention of the researcher to opt for the topic.

ABSTRACT

The building and construction industry is one of India’s largest economic sectors. However, workers in this field encounter various challenges impacting their health, safety, and overall well-being. These include unsafe working conditions, limited access to essential protective gear, low wages, job insecurity, and restricted access to social security benefits. Many construction workers operate in hazardous environments, leading to health risks and accidents. Additionally, the informal nature of the sector results in a lack of legal protection for a significant portion of the workforce. Other key concerns include inadequate training, worker exploitation, and the absence of a robust regulatory framework to safeguard their rights. This paper explores these issues, investigates their root causes, and suggests potential solutions to enhance working conditions and welfare programs. Through an in-depth analysis, the research aims to highlight the need for policy reforms and improved enforcement of labour laws to protect this crucial workforce.

The Indian construction industry employs nearly 50 million people, making it one of the country’s most significant sources of employment. However, workforce numbers fluctuate depending on government projects and economic trends. Approximately 80-90% of construction workers are engaged in the informal sector, lacking access to structured benefits such as healthcare, insurance, and pensions. Many work as daily wage labourers without contracts or job security. Additionally, fewer than 10% receive formal training or certification, contributing to lower productivity and increased risks of workplace accidents.

ABSTRACT

Part of the deep web, the Darkweb is only accessible with specialised computer software and is used for illicit purposes like drug trafficking, exploitation, and cybercrime. The Darkweb is being used more frequently as a result of technological developments like Tor, bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies that enable criminals to conduct these crimes anonymously. At the same time, computers have become a necessary component of our everyday lives, affecting how we behave and engage with the outside world as well as one another. This research paper emphasises the need for additional research on the Dark Web in the areas of bitcoin, blockchain, IoT, NLP, cryptocurrencies, botnets and malware, phishing and cybercrime, digital forensics, and electronic crime countermeasures. This research paper examines the legal issues raised by the dark web by examining current Indian and international legislation and emphasising the various regulatory strategies used by various governments. It talks about how these actions affect criminal law, privacy rights, international cooperation, and national security. The entire Internet is made up of several different computer networks and their extensive infrastructure. Open websites that use search engines like Google, Firefox, and others make up the network. The Deep Web includes the Dark Web. You can access it through TOR. Dark Web actors are private and anonymous. Special browsers like TOR and I2P offer three considerations: anonymity, anonymity, and the likelihood of non-detection. The impact of the Dark Web on several facets of society will be examined and conclusions drawn in this article. The number of typical anonymous users of the Dark Web (using TOR) in both Kosovo and the world is presented for a period of time. The effect of secret resources websites is visible and the findings are collected from the search engines of Ahimia and Onion City Dark Web. On the Dark Internet, anonymity is not always guaranteed. TOR is dedicated to it and intends to perform covert operations.

ABSTRACT

The intersection of copyright and artificial intelligence (AI) represents a rapidly changing legal and ethical landscape, challenging traditional notions of authorship, ownership, and infringement. As AI technologies produce more creative outputs such as art, music, and literature, fundamental questions about the applicability of existing copyright laws emerge. This paper investigates the implications of AI in copyright through a thorough examination of international frameworks such as the Berne Convention and the TRIPS Agreement, as well as national laws from countries such as the United States, European Union, China and Japan. The discussion focuses on enforcement challenges, such as determining liability and navigating jurisdictional conflicts in a globalized digital environment. Ethical concerns, such as the impact on human creators and the risks of biased datasets, are also discussed. The paper suggests potential solutions, such as clarifying legal definitions of authorship, establishing strong licensing frameworks for AI training, and encouraging international copyright policy harmonization. Finally, this study emphasizes the need for innovative legal reforms to balance the rights of human creators and the benefits of technological advancements, ensuring that copyright law remains relevant in the age of artificial intelligence.

ABSTRACT

The concept of fairness is integral to the legal system, with natural justice playing a pivotal role in ensuring just and equitable outcomes in legal proceedings. In the context of the Indian legal framework, the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) embodies principles of natural justice, which safeguard the rights of individuals by mandating fair procedures. The CPC incorporates fundamental tenets of natural justice, such as “audi alteram partem” (the right to be heard) and “nemo judex in causa sua” (no one should be a judge in their own case), which aim to prevent bias and ensure impartiality. These principles are reflected in various provisions of the CPC, including rules regarding the issuance of notices, the right to legal representation, and the opportunity to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses. Moreover, procedural safeguards such as the duty of judges to provide reasoned judgments reinforce transparency and accountability within the judiciary. By embedding these principles, the CPC not only upholds the rule of law but also fosters public confidence in the judicial system. However, the application of natural justice within the CPC is not without challenges, as procedural complexities and delays can sometimes hinder the timely dispensation of justice. Nonetheless, the role of natural justice remains crucial in balancing the scales of justice, ensuring that legal processes are conducted with fairness and integrity. This exploration demystifies the intricate relationship between natural justice and procedural law, highlighting how the CPC strives to maintain fairness in civil litigation and contributes to the broader objective of achieving justice in society.
