ABSTRACT

This research critically examines the role of Public participation in Indian Administrative Law. Public participation in Indian administrative law is a pivotal element in fostering transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness within governance structures. As India grapples with complex socio-economic challenges, the role of citizen engagement has become increasingly significant in shaping effective and equitable public policy. This abstract explores the integration of public participation within the Indian administrative framework, highlighting its impact on decision-making processes and legal reforms. The Indian Constitution enshrines principles of democratic governance, and public participation serves as a mechanism to actualize these principles by involving citizens in administrative decision-making. Key legislative frameworks such as the Right to Information Act, 2005, and the National Environmental Policy, 2006, exemplify the legal mandates for public engagement. These laws provide avenues for citizens to access information, voice concerns, and contribute to policy development, thereby enhancing governmental transparency and responsiveness. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in fully realizing the potential of public participation in India.

ABSTRACT

Public corporations, as instrumental entities in India’s economic landscape, play a pivotal role in delivering essential services and promoting national development. However, their unique position, being partially government-owned and operated, raises complex questions regarding their rights and duties. This research delves into the intricate balance between the public interest mandate and the corporate autonomy of public corporations in India. The analysis will explore the rights granted to public corporations, including their capacity to sue and be sued, acquire property, and enter into contracts. Additionally, it will examine the duties imposed upon them, such as the obligation to serve the public interest, adhere to government policies, and maintain transparency in their operations. The study will critically evaluate the effectiveness of the existing legal framework in balancing these rights and duties, identifying areas where improvements are needed. Furthermore, the research will consider the impact of recent policy reforms and case law on the rights and duties of public corporations. It will analyze how these developments have shaped the evolving landscape of public sector governance in India. By examining the interplay between rights and duties, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by public corporations in India and to provide insights for policy makers and stakeholders.

i) Abstract

This paper discusses the role of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in regulating the shadow banking sector, otherwise known as the Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) within Indian territory. Shadow banking, which is synonymous with non-bank financial intermediation, has achieved massive growth in the Indian economy over the past several decades. Although it plays an important role in extending credit facilities throughout the country, it also poses certain risks to financial stability. This paper tries to explain the basic concept and historical background of non-banking finance companies in India. In addition, the paper is particularly focused on evaluating the legal provisions and the regulatory framework adopted by the Reserve Bank of India for regulating entities operating within this sector. Finally, the research deals with the current issues and challenges existing in this sector and ways to effectively address these. As a result, the primary focus of the study shall be to propose solutions for dealing with the changing nature of activities of NBFCs and the dilemma of the RBI in walking the twin tightropes of promoting financial innovation on one hand and maintaining systemic stability on the other. It identifies the shortfalls in the present legal framework and suggests recommendations that make the shadow banking regulation more purposeful and effective for India. The study concludes that though RBI has over the years made efforts to regulate the Shadow Banking Sector to a large extent, there is still a need for stringent and certainly more comprehensive regulations towards addressing the emerging risks and to achieve balance between the financial inclusions and economic growth through this sector with overall economic/financial stability.

Abstract

Although the LGBTQ population has long experienced prejudice and marginalisation, there has been a change in recent years towards more acceptance and acknowledgement of Gay rights. In the United States, the Protection of Same Sex Marriage Law 2022 aims to legalise same-sex unions and grant LGBTQ couples full marital privileges. By outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, this bill also attempts to combat prejudice towards LGBTQ people. This bill seeks to grant legal recognition and protection to same-sex marriages, allowing LGBTQ couples to enjoy the same rights and benefits as heterosexual couples, the passage of this measure will have a substantial positive influence on the lives of many LGBTQ people and their families. Yet, much effort remains to be done to eliminate discrimination and stigma towards the LGBTQ population and to promote equality and acceptance globally.
