Abstract

With the expansion of retail investment over the past ten years, the landscape of the financial industry has undergone a substantial change. The purpose of this research study is to examine the mechanisms behind this change and any ramifications it may have for the financial market, individual investors, and wealth distribution. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with individual retail investors with quantitative data analysis of financial market movements. Advances in technology, easier access to information, and the advent of zero-commission trading platforms are some of the main factors contributing to the growth of retail investing. These elements have opened up investing options to everyone, allowing for easy decision-making and market participation by private investors.This paper emphasises the potential advantages of the boom in retail investment, including improved financial knowledge, diversified portfolios, and wealth democratisation. However, it also discusses the possible risks, such as market volatility, information asymmetry, and retail investors’ propensity for manipulation and herd behaviour. The results of this study have important ramifications for financial institutions, governments, and individual investors. It emphasises the need of investor safety and financial literacy while simultaneously acknowledging the contribution of small-scale investors to the development of the financial industry. This study contributes to the continuing discussion concerning the development of the financial system and its effects on society by investigating the emergence of retail investment

ABSTRACT

Capital punishment refers to the authority given by law to slaughter a person who has committed a serious crime. There are various theories of punishments like retributive theory, reformative theory, preventive theory and deterrent theory. Punishment of death has been in use since ancient times, with some societies believing it to be a necessary form of deterring crime. However, some believe it to be an inhumane and cruel practice, violating human rights law and hence it has been a subject of heated debate since time immemorial. In India, the provision of capital punishment is legal, however its imposition is strictly reserved for those exceptional cases which fall under the doctrine of “rarest of rare” as elucidated by the Indian judiciary through its various judgements. Apart from this, there are other provisions and precedents of supreme court that ensures the rational use of punishment of death, like, pardoning power of president and governor, bachan singh guidelines, etc . In the present paper, I have also included the status of other countries regarding the provision of capital punishment. When analysed globally, it is seen that the globe is divided majorly into two perspective- the Retentionist and the Abolitionist. The Retentionist are the ones who have retained the provision of capital punishment as they believe that deterrence is an effective way by which crimes can be prevented in a society. The Abolitionist are the ones who have abolished this provision as they perceive it to be a violation of basic human rights i.e. Right to life.

Abstract

Government of India has proposed a scheme “Support for Poor Prisoners” to provide financial support to states in order to extend relief to those prisoners who are unable to avail bail or get released from prisons due to non-payment of fine on account of financial constraints. This article analyses the present critical state of Indian Prisons filled with undertrial prisoners, especially those who might have otherwise got bail but for their inability to afford the penalty or the bail amount are still languishing in the jails. The data available in the public domain through National Crime Records Bureau has been discussed for profiling the correlation between acts of crimes and the social, economic and educational background of people indulging in criminal acts. Another very important factor discussed here is the age profile of prisoners which clearly reflects that major chunk of prison inmates belonged to the age group of 18-30 years.  The provisions of Plea Bargaining given at Chapter XXIA, Section 265 of Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, has been dwelt upon for exploring its existing provisions for finding a durable solution by the Central Government for decongesting the Indian prisons by granting bails to those inmates whose are not accused of heinous crime.

ABSTRACT

Legal precedent is a central concept in common law systems, serving as a guiding principle in the interpretation and application of the law. It refers to the principle that decisions made by higher courts serve as binding authority for lower courts in similar cases. This means that courts must follow the legal reasoning and outcomes of previous cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the law. The concept of legal precedent is vital in common law systems, as it promotes fairness and justice, helps to establish legal certainty, and contributes to the development and evolution of the law. This paper examines the concept of legal precedent in common law systems and its importance, including its role in promoting consistency and predictability in the law, the development of legal doctrine, and the protection of individual rights.

ABORTION: LEGAL AND MORAL ASPECTS

BEST CITATION – MANTHANI MEDHA REDDY, ABORTION: LEGAL AND MORAL ASPECTS, Indian Journal of Legal Review (IJLR), 3 (2) of 2023, Pg. 282-288, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344.

ABSTRACT

The key issues are examined, and a synopsis of the legal and moral ramifications of abortion is given in this paper. The major moral question is whether there is a biologically relevant stage in the development of the embryo from its conception as a single-celled zygote to birth itself that can allow for the subsequent general prohibition of abortion. Major proponents of the socially relevant point include awareness, the ability to act, being able to feel pain, and survival. The primary legal problem at the root of the abortion debate is whether either foetus has a basic constitutional right to life.The central issue in the abortion debate is the potentiality of the fetus as a living being and whether it should be afforded the same treatment. The determination of personhood relies on a combination of scientific and ethical arguments. As the paper concludes, a practical approach is considered, which suggests that justifications for abortion must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. For example, it would be unfair and insensitive to force a rape victim to carry a pregnancy to term. Therefore, under this practical explanation, certain abortions may be morally permissible while others may not be.
