Abstract

Intellectual property rights have given an assurance and impetus to technology creators by giving an exclusive right. However, this exclusive right of intellectual property was modernized by TRIPS agreement which made technology as a tradable commodity, simultaneously giving rise to transfer of intellectual property rights with such technological exchanges. However, with the rampant rise in technological development, it is important to study and analyse the impact of technology transfer and exchange of intellectual property rights through technology transfer agreements on the economy of a nation.

Abstract

Sports Law in India is an emerging and dynamic field that has yet to achieve comprehensive development. While there is increasing awareness among the public about their various legal rights, there remains a significant gap in understanding the full scope and application of Sports Law. This area of law encompasses a broad spectrum of issues, including disputes related to contracts, intellectual property, media regulations, anti-doping measures, and sports safety and liability. Despite the crucial role sports play in national pride and entertainment, they are often treated with less legal rigor than other sectors.

Under the Indian Constitution, sports regulation falls within the jurisdiction of the states, as stipulated in Entry 33 of the State List of the Seventh Schedule. However, sports are played on both national and global stages, leading to a complex interplay between state and national regulatory frameworks. National sports organizations such as the Athletic Federation of India (AFI) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) operate with considerable autonomy. Despite their self-governing status, these bodies are subject to oversight by the judiciary, with the Supreme Court and various High Courts having the authority to review their operations under Articles 12 and 226 of the Constitution. This judicial scrutiny is essential because these organizations undertake state-like functions, such as selecting national teams and representing the country in international sporting events.

The paper examines the recommendations of the Justice R.M. Lodha and Mukul Mudgal Committees, which were tasked with addressing issues of corruption and regulatory inefficiencies in Indian sports, notably concerning the Indian Premier League (IPL). These committees advocated for the establishment of separate governing bodies for the BCCI and IPL, increased regulation of player agencies, and significant changes to governance structures to better safeguard the interests of players and ensure transparency.

Several critical issues in Sports Law are highlighted, including contract disputes, employment contracts, competition law, intellectual property rights, and doping. Contractual agreements are becoming increasingly complex, covering not only business arrangements but also athlete behavior, discipline, and financial matters. Employment contracts for athletes and coaches are central to the commercialization of sports, while competition law addresses antitrust issues affecting professional leagues. Intellectual property concerns, particularly related to broadcasting rights and brand marketing, are also significant. The problem of doping remains pervasive, with ongoing challenges related to implementation, testing procedures, and regulatory compliance. The paper concludes that there is a pressing need for comprehensive national legislation to address these issues effectively. Proposed legislative measures should include the establishment of a Sports Commission responsible for regulating and overseeing sports activities in India. This Commission would support talent development, provide guidance to the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs, ensure proper fund allocation, and oversee the implementation of sports policies. Additionally, the legislation should integrate sports into the educational system, involve local entities in sports infrastructure development, and shift sports associations and federations from the Societies Registration Act to the new legal framework. The Commission should also be empowered to resolve disputes and investigate financial mismanagement. Such a legislative overhaul is crucial to align Indian sports law with international standards, foster a transparent and well-regulated sports environment, and address the evolving demands of the sports industry.

Introduction

India’s intellectual property rights (IPR) framework is a key pillar of its economic and industrial policy, designed to protect creators’ and innovators’ rights while promoting business growth and innovation. As the Indian economy continues to grow and integrate with the global economy, the country faces the challenge of balancing the interests of various stakeholders, including domestic industries, multinational corporations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and the general public. This balancing act is crucial to ensure that India’s IPR regime not only fosters innovation and creativity but also supports business growth and addresses social and economic challenges such as access to affordable healthcare, education, and technology.

ABSTRACT

The rise of internet banking has brought convenience but also increased the risk of fraud. This analysis explores the main types of internet banking frauds, such as phishing, malware, and identity theft, highlighting the tactics used by cybercriminals and the weaknesses they exploit. The study also reviews the financial impact, current security measures, and legal protections, offering insights into improving fraud prevention and enhancing the security of online banking systems. This version is concise and directly addresses the core aspects of the topic. Internet banking frauds have emerged as a significant threat to the global financial ecosystem, posing serious challenges to individuals, businesses, and financial institutions alike. The advent of digital banking, while offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency, has also opened up new avenues for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities in online systems. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of internet banking frauds, delving into the various methods employed by fraudsters, the underlying causes of these incidents, and the impact they have on the economy.In recent years, the proliferation of online banking has been accompanied by a surge in fraudulent activities, ranging from phishing attacks and identity theft to more sophisticated techniques such as man-in-the-middle attacks and malware-based intrusions. These methods often exploit the weakest link in the security chain—human behavior. Social engineering tactics, where individuals are tricked into revealing sensitive information or performing actions that compromise their accounts, are increasingly prevalent. The rapid evolution of these fraud techniques has made it difficult for security measures to keep pace, leading to significant financial losses and a loss of trust in digital banking platforms.Moreover, the global nature of internet banking has introduced complexities jurisdiction and regulation, as fraudulent activities can originate from any part of the world, making it challenging to track and prosecute perpetrators. This cross-border aspect complicates the enforcement of legal frameworks and highlights the need for international cooperation in combating cybercrime.

One of the key problems in the banking sector in India is the Non-Performing Assets. The Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) not only poses threats to bank but it also has a negative impact on the economy. That’s why it become very important to recover loan without any unnecessary delay. Earlier banks had to face long delays from courts to recover loans. So, to cop up with these problems, Parliament passes ‘The Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993 (RDB Act) and establishes the Debt Recovery Tribunal to especially dealt with issues to recovery of loans from banks. Then in 2002 by the recommendation of Narsimham II committee, legislature passed the The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI) to recover loan against the secured Assets. In this research paper our aim is to discuss and understand the SARFAESI, the meaning of the key terms like NPAs, Reconstruction of Assets, Constitutional validity of the act and the key provisions of enforcement of security interest under SARFAESI and the borrowers rights.
