ABSTRACT

The paper delves deeply into the intricate evolution and profound significance of absolute liability within legal frameworks, with a particular focus on its application in the context of gas leak incidents in India. Commencing with a comprehensive examination of fundamental legal doctrines such as strict and absolute liability, the paper navigates through seminal cases like Rylands v. Fletcher and M.C. Mehta v. Union of India to elucidate the nuanced development and practical application of these doctrines. Utilizing a doctrinal research methodology, the study meticulously dissects the concepts of strict and absolute liability, meticulously analyzing their ramifications in the realm of gas leak cases. This meticulous approach aims to offer a thorough understanding of the legal principles at play, thereby providing valuable insights into their practical implications and societal ramifications.

A critical aspect of the paper is the discernment of key distinctions between strict and absolute liability. While both doctrines embody a form of liability without fault, absolute liability stands out for its uncompromising nature, devoid of any possibility for defendants to invoke defenses. This stark contrast underscores the severity and rigidity of the legal standard under absolute liability, emphasizing its pivotal role in ensuring accountability and justice, particularly in cases involving hazardous activities. Moreover, the paper underscores the imperative for the modernization of legal frameworks to effectively address contemporary challenges, especially in light of rapid industrialization. By shedding light on the necessity for legal evolution, the paper highlights the dynamic nature of jurisprudence and the ongoing need for adaptive legal doctrines to uphold societal values and protect public interests. Central to the narrative is the pivotal role of the Indian judiciary in embracing absolute liability as a means to foster accountability and justice. Through landmark decisions and progressive interpretations of legal principles, the judiciary has played a central role in shaping the trajectory of legal discourse, particularly in the realm of environmental and constitutional law. In conclusion, the paper portrays absolute liability as a cornerstone of contemporary legal discourse, reflecting society’s evolving demands for accountability and justice. By offering a comprehensive exploration of its evolution and significance, the paper underscores the enduring relevance and profound impact of absolute liability within the broader spectrum of legal frameworks.

ABSTRACT

The expectation of wealth that a bride must bring for her husband and his family is associated with violence, abuse, and oppression of women in India. The victims of dower-related harassment experience severe trauma and mental health problems. The current study looks into the mental health problems that survivors of dowry harassment face. A multilevel mixed-method study was used for this. According to the report, victims of dowry harassment have serious mental health issues. One of the worst or most horrific issues is dower death. The country’s statistics on dowry-related deaths have increased despite the enactment and incorporation of laws and acts into the legal system, as well as campaigns and awareness programs initiated by government and non-government organizations to combat dowry deaths and the Indian dowry system. There are still some grey areas where the nation lacks growth, one of which is the prevalent Dowry System and related concerns, despite the fast growth of middle-class society and the youth population, the country’s modernization efforts, the enormous privileged economic development, the improved education system, and so forth. In an attempt to lessen the annoyance of dowry deaths, find loopholes, and enhance society overall, this article has looked at and evaluated the legal provisions that the Indian legal system has adopted. It has also highlighted existing remedies and discussed ways to strengthen them.A holistic strategy that includes social interventions, legal reforms, and cultural change is required to effectively address dowry death. To create a society where people, regardless of gender, may live without the fear of dowry-related damage, it is imperative to strengthen legislative frameworks, improve enforcement mechanisms, and address the underlying causes of dowry violence.

ABSTRACT

This dissertation explores the intricate dynamics of dissent within constitutional crises through a comparative lens, aiming to elucidate how dissenting opinions contribute to the navigation of such crises across different constitutional contexts. As constitutional crises increasingly emerge as pivotal moments challenging the stability and legitimacy of legal systems worldwide, understanding the role of dissent becomes paramount. The study investigates various forms of dissent, spanning judicial, legislative, and executive domains, within the context of constitutional crises.

Drawing on a comparative approach, the research examines historical and contemporary instances of constitutional crises from diverse jurisdictions, such as the United States, United Kingdom, India, and others. By analyzing dissenting voices and strategies deployed during these crises, the study seeks to uncover patterns, divergences, and insights into the function and impact of dissent in mitigating constitutional turmoil.

The dissertation delves into the theoretical underpinnings of dissent within constitutional frameworks, exploring its conceptualization and significance in legal theory and practice. It also investigates the institutional responses to dissent during constitutional crises, including judicial interpretations, legislative debates, and executive actions, to discern how dissent shapes the resolution and management of such crises.

Through in-depth case studies and comparative analyses, the research aims to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the interplay between dissent and constitutional crises, shedding light on the mechanisms through which dissent influences legal and political outcomes. Furthermore, the study evaluates the implications of dissent for democratic governance, rule of law, and constitutional stability, offering insights into how constitutional systems can effectively accommodate and respond to dissenting viewpoints in times of crisis. Ultimately, this dissertation seeks to enrich scholarly discourse on constitutional law, comparative politics, and legal theory by providing a comprehensive exploration of dissent in the context of constitutional crises, offering valuable perspectives for policymakers, legal practitioners, and academics grappling with the complexities of contemporary constitutional governance. Both the concept of dissent and the “rule of law” have a revered status and are often referenced. However, in recent events such as the Black Lives Matter protests, widespread public dissent over events such as the police killing of George Floyd has highlighted a significant challenge to the compatibility of these values. This tension causes extensive theoretical studies of the basic concept of the rule of law, which have yet to be thoroughly investigated by legal scholars. Although there is general agreement on some formal aspects of the rule of law, formal definitions often focus on the procedural aspects of the rule of law, especially those related to the principle of legality. However, many critics blame this formal definition and argue that for the concept of the rule of law to be meaningful, it must include substantive elements such as respect for private property or fundamental human rights. In this discussion, I argue that there is an important middle ground between these two perspectives. Although the rule of law may not encompass all civil and political rights, its very nature requires that fundamental values ​​be upheld beyond mere formality. While the rule of law cannot be stretched to achieve all desired outcomes, its parameters must not be arbitrary; they belong to the concept itself. A closer examination reveals fundamental common principles at the intersection of formalist and substantive approaches that are substantively sound but necessary for a formalist rule of law framework. At the core of this approach is the recognition and tolerance of differences as a decisive factor.
