BEST CITATION – GAURI NIRAJ MISHRA, THE ENDURING SHADOW: AN IN-DEPTH EXAMINATION OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 5 (3) OF 2025, PG. 96-99, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344.

Abstract:

The pursuit of gender equality in the workplace has been a central theme of social and economic discourse for decades. While significant strides have been made, gender discrimination continues to manifest in various forms, undermining the potential of individuals and hindering organizational progress. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of workplace gender discrimination, moving beyond anecdotal evidence to explore its systemic nature and propose evidence-based solutions.  

Gender discrimination, in its essence, involves treating individuals differently based on their gender, resulting in unequal opportunities, treatment, or outcomes. This can manifest in explicit actions, such as denying a promotion to a qualified woman based on her gender, or in more subtle, implicit biases, such as unconsciously attributing leadership qualities more readily to men. These biases, whether conscious or unconscious, perpetuate a cycle of inequality that negatively impacts women and gender minorities across various industries and professions.

SYNOPSIS

With an emphasis on how the court has influenced the application of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985 through legislative provisions, case law, and judicial interpretation, this article examines the role of the judiciary in its implementation and interpretation. One important piece of legislation in India that aims to curb drug misuse, trafficking, and associated crimes is the NDPS Act. But in terms of enforcement, interpreting the law, and striking a balance between punishment and rehabilitation, its implementation has been fraught with difficulties. The role of the judiciary in interpreting these provisions is critically examined, focusing on how courts have balanced strict legal provisions with the need for a human-centric approach to drug addiction, rehabilitation, and the protection of individual rights.

This article examines how judicial judgments have affected the execution of the NDPS Act, notably in situations concerning the rights of the accused, the role of law enforcement, and the implementation of rehabilitative measures. The obstacles that the judiciary faces in guaranteeing justice while implementing the requirements of the NDPS Act are discussed, including mandatory punishment, the limits of judicial discretion, and the necessity for more targeted legislative revisions.

Abstract

The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) has remained a contentious legal instrument in India, particularly in insurgency-affected regions like Manipur. While the Act provides sweeping powers to the armed forces for maintaining public order, it has raised serious concerns regarding human rights violations, legal accountability, and ethical governance. This paper examines the constitutional validity, legal framework, and ethical dilemmas surrounding AFSPA in Manipur, analyzing its impact on rule of law, civilian rights, and counterinsurgency efficacy.¹ By exploring judicial interpretations, case studies, and international legal perspectives, the study highlights the complex interplay between national security imperatives and fundamental rights. The findings suggest that a balanced approach, incorporating accountability mechanisms and human rights safeguards, is necessary for effective counterinsurgency strategies without compromising democratic principles. This research critically evaluates how AFSPA’s provisions create a framework that often prioritizes state security over civil liberties, leading to a culture of impunity among armed personnel. Through an analysis of contemporary case studies and legal precedents, the study highlights the tensions between constitutional protections and the extraordinary measures enacted in the name of national security. Additionally, it examines the implications of these dynamics on local communities, the judicial system, and the broader pursuit of peace and stability in the region. Ultimately, this evaluation seeks to contribute to the ongoing discourse on necessary reforms to ensure that counterinsurgency efforts respect fundamental rights while effectively addressing security challenges.

ABSTRACT:

The State, community and parties to crime have prominent role to play in the administration of criminal justice system. Hitherto the criminal justice system was more concerned with punishing the offender. Fortunately, the focus is shifting towards meeting the needs of victims of crime also. A state, community and an offender are all having an obligation to fulfill the loss suffered by a victim of crime. Roles of State and community in ensuring justice to victims of crime have to be properly analyzed. Theme of this paper is to explore as to how state and community have to use their potential to ensure justice to victim of crime. Family group conferencing is one method that has been tried in some western countries to realize justice for victim of crime. India has been experimenting with community based dispute settlement mechanism which makes sure that the demands of victim are met and the feeling of victim of being ignored is minimized to certain extent. This paper attempts to critically analyze role the state and community can play in ensuring justice to victims of crime in India.

ABSTRACT

 It is indeed quite disheartening to observe that violence against women is merely being viewed as a family problem for the individuals and with a deviation of society within cause in a patriarchal society. VAW is not only an infringement of human dignity and rights but it is also a major economic problem that hinders the development and expansion of communities. In this respect, the economic effects of violence against women are extensive, penetrating at individual and family levels, at the level of communities, and in the long run, nations as well. Such complexity exists from the outset when considering the economic burden which falls upon the victims of domestic violence and other gender-based violence. Economic costs of such violence are always positive in a sense that they demonstrate how it is infectious to every sphere of life and the extent to which it permeates into people’s lives although the lessons of great significance for developing strategies for countering it apply.
