ABSTRACT

Dowry deaths, a tragic outcome of gender-based violence, persist in societies where traditional gender norms prevail. This abstract addresses their prevalence, rooted in disputes over dowry payments, and the complex web of contributing factors, including patriarchal norms, economic disparities, and the commodification of women in marriage negotiations. Dowry deaths have far-reaching consequences, necessitating comprehensive legal reforms, awareness campaigns, and robust social support systems to combat this grave societal concern. A collective effort involving governments and civil society is imperative to eradicate dowry deaths and promote gender equality. The main objective is to know the public opinion on dowry death and its effects. The methodology mainly used is the descriptive method. 71.64% people knew about dowry death and 28.36% people did not know about dowry death. 20.90% people agree that dowry death occurs mainly because of excessive dowry demands. This research helps us to understand that people still believe dowry practice exists in the society even though various laws have been imposed by the government.

KEYWORDS: Dowry deaths, gender-based violence, traditional gender norms, disputes, patriarchal norms, economic disparities, commodification, marriage negotiations, legal reforms, awareness campaigns, social support systems, public opinion, descriptive method, excessive dowry demands, government laws, societal beliefs, gender equality.

BEST CITATION – SUBHA SREE.E, LEGAL ANALYSIS OF GST OFFENCES IN THE TELECOMMUNICATION SECTOR IN INDIA, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 4 (2) OF 2024, PG. 1035-1050, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344.

ABSTRACT:

This study offers a thorough legal analysis of Goods and Services Tax (GST) offences within India’s telecommunication sector, addressing the sector’s complex regulatory and compliance environment. The telecommunication industry, characterised by its rapid technological evolution and intricate service structures, presents unique challenges in GST administration. The research examines various issues contributing to GST offences, including misclassification of services, discrepancies between reported revenues and actual GST filings, and the accurate calculation of input tax credits. It provides a detailed assessment of the existing regulatory frameworks and enforcement mechanisms, identifying significant gaps and inefficiencies in audit practices and compliance monitoring. It  highlights that the sector’s diverse service offerings and bundled packages often lead to confusion and errors in GST reporting. It also explores the frequent misreporting of revenues and challenges in accurately claiming input tax credits due to the sector’s complex pricing models and service bundles. By evaluating current enforcement strategies, the study reveals that existing measures may fall short in addressing the nuances of telecommunication services, suggesting that improvements are needed in both regulatory guidelines and enforcement practices. Technological advancements are identified as a key area for potential improvement. The study advocates for the adoption of automated compliance tools, data analytics, and blockchain technology to enhance accuracy in GST reporting and streamline audit processes. These technologies can provide more robust mechanisms for detecting discrepancies and ensuring compliance, thereby reducing the incidence of GST offences.

BEST CITATION – SHRIYA JAISWAL, ARTICLE 21 – ITS SCOPE AND EXPANSIVENESS, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 4 (2) OF 2024, PG. 1008-1022, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344

ABSTRACT

The Indian Constitution’s Article 21, which protects the rights to life and personal liberty, is thoroughly examined in this research, “The Expansive Scope of Article 21: Right to Life and Personal Liberty in India.” The research follows the development of these essential rights across time, looking at how they were first formulated in ancient Indian philosophy, how they changed under colonial control, and how they were finally incorporated into the post-independence constitutional framework. 

The study emphasizes how crucial the Indian courts have been in interpreting and extending the reach of Article 21. The Supreme Court of India has expanded the meaning of life and personal liberty via significant rulings to cover a number of aspects, including the right to privacy, the right to a dignified existence, the right to a means of subsistence, and the right to a clean environment. These judicial interpretations have significantly enhanced the protection and realization of fundamental human rights in India.

Critical perspectives on the judicial interpretations of Article 21 are explored, addressing concerns of judicial overreach, inconsistencies in judgments, and challenges in implementation. The project also identifies potential areas for further judicial and legislative development, including the need for stronger data protection laws, environmental regulations, and protections for vulnerable groups.

The project provides recommendations to enhance the protection of rights under Article 21. These include strengthening legal aid services, increasing public awareness, undertaking judicial reforms, enacting clear and comprehensive legislation, and establishing robust monitoring and accountability mechanisms. By examining the expansive scope of Article 21, this project underscores its significance as a cornerstone of fundamental rights in India. It highlights the need for continuous efforts to ensure that the right to life and personal liberty is effectively protected and realized, thereby upholding the principles of justice, equality, and human dignity.

Abstract

Cross-border financial transactions are expected to rise quickly due to increased globalization and international trade, particularly within the Eurasian region. Such transactions today face a number of difficulties, ranging from varied legal and compliance systems to delayed payment systems and disparate technical standards.^[1]

On the other end, China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aims to create trade routes with the goal of promoting economic growth and global trade throughout Asia and beyond. The project covers more than 60 nations, a large portion of which are in Asia, Europe, and Africa. The adoption of cross-border blockchain financial transactions under the BRI offers a major chance to improve financial activities’ efficiency, security, and transparency because of its broad scope.^[2]

Blockchain technology has the potential to address these issues by providing a practical replacement for the established procedures used in international financial transactions. The author, through this article makes an attempt to highlight the intricacies and legal issues that might possibly be there in the radar of blockchain transactions. Numerous experimental projects are under underway that aim to use this technology to a variety of domains, including as settlements, clearing, and remittances and the author makes and attempt to highlight a few. Few studies, nonetheless, have given careful thought to how this technology ought to be governed within the framework of the BRI. One of the first comprehensive examinations of the ways in which rules and legislation can get implemented to enable cross-border payments through blockchain in the BRI will be dealt with in this article.

Abstract

Education serves as a critical tool for personal development and societal reintegration, especially for incarcerated women who face unique challenges. This paper explores the transformative potential of educational programs within women’s prisons, emphasizing the multifaceted benefits such as reduced recidivism, enhanced employment prospects, and improved mental health. Despite these advantages, women prisoners encounter significant barriers to accessing education, including institutional constraints, gender-specific challenges, and societal stigmatization. Through a review of existing literature and successful case studies like the Bard Prison Initiative and the Goucher Prison Education Partnership, this paper underscores the necessity of tailored educational programs and increased support to overcome these barriers. Policy recommendations include increased funding, gender-responsive educational initiatives, and collaboration with external institutions to ensure comprehensive and equitable access to education for incarcerated women.
