Abstract

In highly profile legal proceedings, when there is extensive media coverage often shapes public perception, also influencing the judicial process itself. This phenomenon, known as a “media trial,” occurs when the media presents narratives that may sway public opinion about an individual’s guilt or innocence before the court delivers its verdict. ^[1]This givesImpact on Public Perception and Judicial Integrity.

Establishing clear guidelines for media interactions with law enforcement and judicial bodies is essential to prevent the detrimental effects of media trials on both public perception and the administration of justice.^[2] The Test Identification is a procedure used in criminal investigations when a witness identifies the accused from a line-up, is one of the main areas where media intervention can be harmful. The witness must not have previously seen the accused in order for TIP to be considered trustworthy. However, the witness’s memory may be influenced if the accused’s face is constantly displayed on TV and social media. This issue, which is referred to as the “reverse influence” problem, occurs when the media distorts or even alters what a witness thinks they saw, undermining the veracity of their account. This study examines the potential effects of media publicity on trial fairness, specifically with regard to TIP and other early stages of an investigation. The research also examines possible reforms that could ensure the integrity of the legal system and freedom of journalism, including improved media and law enforcement training, legislative safeguards like gag orders, and anonymizing the accused before TIP.

Key Words – Prejudicial publicity, Contaminated identification, Trial by media, Presumption of guilt vs. innocence, public shaming and social media justice.

ABSTRACT

Financial market integrity suffers from major ethical along with legal challenges due to insider trading activities. When participants use unpublicized price-sensitive information for personal gain it breaks market equilibrium while it destroys investor trust and harms corporate responsibility. This research paper analyzes Indian insider trading regulation while tracing the development of rules made by SEBI and the Companies Act of 2013 against international governance standards. The research study investigates insider trading as a white-collar offense by exploring its deceptive behavior as well as violations of fiduciary responsibilities and financial manipulation practices. Judicial court decisions and regulatory modifications demonstrate how suspicious evidence helps courts determine who possesses UPSI. This research analysis demonstrates through historical explanations alongside legal complexities and moral implications that strong enforcement systems must exist to safeguard both market stability and investor welfare.

ABSTRACT

This study delves into the nuanced intersection of copyright law and live music performances, particularly focusing on whether live concerts constitute copyright infringement. At its core, copyright law grants creators exclusive rights over the reproduction, performance, and distribution of their original works, including musical compositions and sound recordings. The paper explains that when performers render their own creations, no infringement arises. However, performing works owned by others requires obtaining licenses, typically facilitated by Performance Rights Organizations (PROs) such as the Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS). Venues often secure blanket licenses to allow a broad range of performances without breaching copyright law. Nevertheless, unlicensed performances—even in charitable or non-profit contexts—can lead to infringement claims.

The paper further explores the complex nature of copyright in sound recordings, which encompass multiple layers of ownership involving lyricists, composers, music directors, and producers. These intricate rights create challenges in enforcement and licensing, particularly with the advent of digital distribution, remix culture, and AI-generated music. Legal ambiguities also arise in fair use interpretation and international inconsistencies in performers’ rights.

Through analysis of recent case law, including IPRS v. ENIL and Novex Communications v. Hyatt, the paper underscores judicial recognition of the distinct rights held in sound recordings and the implications of their unauthorized public use. These cases reinforce the necessity of obtaining proper licenses for both live and recorded music to ensure compliance with copyright law. Ultimately, the study advocates for a balanced legal framework that safeguards creators’ rights while embracing technological and cultural evolution.

INFLUENCE OF OCCUPATIONAL SEGREGATION AND TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES ON WAGE DISPARITIES

BEST CITATION – JANANI K, INFLUENCE OF OCCUPATIONAL SEGREGATION AND TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES ON WAGE DISPARITIES, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 5 (5) OF 2025, PG. 944-951, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344

Abstract

This study examines occupational segregation and stereotypical gender roles as the main causes of lingering wage gaps between men and women. In spite of progress made in gender equity, women are disproportionately represented in lower-paying professions and industries, while men lead in higher-paying industries. This research examines structural and cultural underpinnings that perpetuate this split and lead to differential pay.

Occupational segregation has been recognized as a major structural barrier, and female-dominated careers are found to pay less despite controlling for qualification and experience. Caregiving responsibilities and cultural expectations of caregiving roles in traditional gender constructs further restrict the entry of women into better-paid jobs and also cause career discontinuity that takes a toll on earnings. The study points to how social expectation shapes occupational activity, directing women into occupations seen as caregiving and devalued.

The research also explores how wage penalties are more pronounced in female-dominated high-skilled jobs and how low-skilled industries compound women’s economic vulnerability. Relying on international evidence, such as the United States, Australia, and Ethiopia, the paper debates the intricate dynamics between labor market structures and cultural norms.

Policy suggestions target elimination of these differences through comparable worth legislation, transparency in pay and increased work-life balance support including parental leave and flexible working conditions. The study concludes that it is necessary to address both the structural and cultural aspects in order to close the gender wage gap and ensure equal labor market outcomes.

Abstract

There is a linked concept of legal aid and fair trial serve as essential features for constitutional democracies with specific emphasis on India. Foreign to the Indian Constitution Article 21 establishes these rights as vital protects that enable justice access and enforce the rule of law. The document analyzes legal aid delivery mechanisms through Indian constitutional applications and Supreme Court rulings and Legal Services Authorities Act 1987 statutory guidelines. The document defines essential fair trial conditions and spotlights essential institutional limitations which block their execution by showing insufficient legal information access along with bad representation and extended judicial processes and discriminatory systems.

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of shell companies and their role in facilitating tax evasion within the Indian context. It examines the legal and financial characteristics of these entities, differentiating between their legitimate and illegitimate uses. A significant challenge identified is the absence of a specific statutory definition for “shell company” in the Companies Act, 2013, creating regulatory loopholes. The paper details various tax evasion methodologies employed using shell companies, including layering, fictitious invoicing, round-tripping, and treaty shopping. It further analyses the existing legal framework – encompassing the Companies Act, 2013, the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, the Income Tax Act, 1961, SEBI regulations, and the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act, 2016 – and evaluates its effectiveness. Landmark judicial pronouncements on lifting the corporate veil are discussed to understand how courts interpret corporate identity in cases of fraud and evasion. The significant economic impact, including revenue loss, financial system distortion, and increased inequality, is highlighted. Finally, the paper reviews government measures to combat this menace, summarizes key findings, and offers recommendations for strengthening the regulatory framework, emphasizing the need for a clear legal definition, enhanced beneficial ownership transparency, robust inter-agency coordination, and international cooperation.

Abstract

An intricate legal theory that is at the crossroads of law, psychology, and ethics is India’s insanity defence. It is defined by the 22^nd section of the BNS (section 84^th of IPC) recognizes that people having serious behavioural disorders might not be able to comprehend the gravity of their acts, which brings important considerations concerning responsibility, retribution, and recovery. Complicated clinical assessments, a lack of psychological care assets, and societal prejudice are some of the obstacles to the actual application of the theory, which has its origins in the British McNaughten Rules of 1843 and permits offenders with mental illnesses to circumvent conventional penalty.
