Abstract

Property rights are fundamental to ensuring financial independence and gender equality. In India, Hindu women’s property rights have undergone significant changes, shaped by ancient religious laws, colonial influences, and modern legal reforms. Historically, Hindu women had limited inheritance rights due to patriarchal traditions and religious interpretations. However, legislative changes, particularly the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, and its 2005 amendment, have expanded their rights significantly.

This paper examines the evolution of Hindu women’s property rights, focusing on historical contexts, legislative developments, judicial interpretations, and contemporary challenges. It also compares Hindu women’s property rights with those of other religious communities and international legal frameworks. The research highlights both progress and persistent challenges in achieving true gender equality in property inheritance.

Finally, the paper provides recommendations for policy reforms to strengthen women’s property rights in India.

ABSTRACT

The eviction legislation in Uttarakhand aims to equilibrate the entitlements and obligations of both landlords and tenants, thereby facilitating equitable and legal processes in property-related conflicts. This guide examines the complex legal structure regulating evictions in Uttarakhand, focussing on the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, alongside the Uttarakhand Rent Control Act, 2001. The specified laws delineate legitimate grounds for eviction, including but not limited to non-payment of rent, unauthorised subletting, violations of rental agreements, property damage, personal necessity, engagement in illegal activities, and denial of the landlord’s title. The initiation of the eviction process is characterised by the issuance of a compulsory notice to vacate, subsequently leading to legal actions within a Rent Control Tribunal or Civil Court in instances where the tenant does not adhere to the notice. In the event that eviction is sanctioned, the enforcement process may necessitate the involvement of judicial officers or municipal authorities, following the presentation of evidence by both parties.

ABSTRACT

The rapid ascent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the creative sector by allowing machines to generate images, music, and literature that closely replicate human expression. This advancement has prompted significant enquiries regarding the scope, applicability, and enforcement of intellectual property (IP) laws, particularly in jurisdictions such as India, where digital jurisprudence is still developing. This article analyses the convergence of generative AI and artistic intellectual property rights, emphasising the legal, ethical, and commercial ramifications in the modern context. This analysis of the recent Studio Ghibli AI controversy examines deficiencies in existing copyright and trademark protections, evaluates the applicability of fair use, and underscores the necessity for legislative reforms to confront these emerging issues.

ABSTRACT:

                Indigenous rights were a central topic in the discourse of constitutional law and international human rights. This study examines legal protections of Indigenous communities in terms of land ownership, cultural conservation and self-determination. Many Indigenous groups face systemic challenges, including the conditions of the constitutional and international legal framework, such as explanations of the rights of the United Nations Indigenous Peoples including national expropriation, cultural erosion, and legal frameworks, which examined national impact analysis such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 169’s intervention with competent countries in Brazil’s intervention with Brazil in Canada, Australia and Brazil. In this study, in this study. Protection of Indigenous rights. symbols of legal cases are highlighted in studies that analyse the role of courts and human rights authorities in shaping indigenous land claims and cultural protection measures and maintaining these rights. This study also examines the principles of self-determination and highlights how indigenous governance structures are perceived and integrated into national legal systems. The results show that a legal framework exists and enforcement and implementation of considerable hurdles remains. This requires stronger political measures and legal advocacy. This study highlights the need for ongoing legal reform to ensure proper recognition of Indigenous rights and sovereignty. By fighting historical injustice and promoting legal integration, constitutional conditions can play an important role in promoting justice and sustainable development in Indigenous communities.

I Abstract

This paper examines the concept of ethnocentrism and its impact on multinational organizations operating in cross-cultural business environments. Ethnocentrism—the tendency to view one’s own cultural group as superior and judge other cultures by the standards of one’s own—presents significant challenges for global businesses. The research explores how ethnocentrism manifests in organizational policies, leadership approaches, and staffing philosophies, and analyzes its consequences on business performance, team dynamics, and international expansion efforts. Through theoretical frameworks and practical case studies from global corporations including Walmart, IKEA, McDonald’s, and Toyota, the paper demonstrates both the pitfalls of ethnocentric approaches and successful strategies for developing cultural intelligence. The findings suggest that organizations can gain competitive advantages by moving beyond ethnocentrism toward cultural synergy through structured interventions, cultural intelligence development, and adaptive management practices. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on effective cross-cultural management by providing practical insights for multinational companies seeking to leverage cultural diversity as a strategic asset.

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the legal framework governing agency under the Indian Contract Act, 1872 is investigated to find out its relevance in modern commerce. It discusses the creation of the principal agent relationship, the jurisdiction in which it occurs, the powers and duties of the parties and the responsibilities of the parties. The sections 182 to 238 of the Act constitute a sound base for appreciating the principal and agents’ relationship, taking into consideration the details of key case laws.

The discussion also brings out the obligations and rights of both parties, the principal’s right to indemnity as held in Lloyd v Grace, Smith & Co. Retrospective validation of unauthorized acts through ratification is investigated as a means to enable trade based on transactional efficiency. Panorama Developments v Fidelis Furnishing Fabrics Ltd goes on to set out the scope of an agent’s authority is, i.e., express, implied, apparent.

There is also analysis of the limitations of authority and revocation in particular in irrevocable agencies. Globalization and Digital Commerce present a critical challenge in agency law, where traditional principles of agency law are increasingly limited.

The paper finally calls for several and much needed reforms in the Indian Agency Law. The Law should be adequately updated to address digital age complications and to step up safeguard against abuse of the power. The paper finishes with a call for striking this balance of rights, duties and liabilities so as to preserve the efficiency and adaptability of agency relationships in a haphazardly evolving commercial landscape.

ABSTRACT

Social security is a crucial element of a country’s welfare system, intended to offer financial protection and assistance to individuals in need. The idea differs from one nation to another, with the United Kingdom and India implementing unique methods based on their socio-economic contexts. In the UK, social security is mainly funded by the state and functions through a comprehensive welfare system that encompasses universal healthcare (NHS), unemployment benefits, state pensions, disability allowances, and child support. The system is sustained through taxes and National Insurance contributions, providing a thorough safety net for citizens and residents. Conversely, India employs a mixed strategy, integrating both state-funded initiatives and employer-based contributions. Social security in India consists of schemes such as the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, and various pension and healthcare programs aimed at unorganized sector workers. Given India’s large population and economic inequalities, the government emphasizes social assistance programs to support marginalized communities. Although both countries strive to deliver financial security and social welfare, the UK’s system is more organized and universal, while India’s approach is developing with a stronger focus on enhancing coverage and accessibility. Analyzing these systems reveals the influence of government policies, economic conditions, and social structures in shaping social security systems. In this article we are going to cover about the concept of social security in India and UK. It fully covers about the social security benefits of both the countries.
