Abstract

Cross-border business disputes, fueled by globalized commerce and investment, have become a common concern in modern international law. These disputes are frequently the result of international contracts, corporate operations, and economic interactions between parties from various jurisdictions. Traditionally, addressing such disputes through litigation in national courts presented substantial problems, including as jurisdictional issues, delays, and competing legal systems. To solve these issues, international arbitration has become the primary method for resolving cross-border economic disputes. It offers an impartial, flexible, and efficient platform for dispute resolution, which has advantages over traditional court methods.

The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the critical role of international arbitration in resolving cross-border business disputes, with a special emphasis on the legal frameworks, procedural processes, and obstacles that parties and tribunals encounter in international arbitration. The paper critically explores the benefits and drawbacks of arbitration, the role of international treaties and conventions, and the effect of national laws on the enforcement and recognition of arbitral rulings. This study also examines the changing character and future of international arbitration considering current technological, economic, and legal advancements.

Abstract  

As per my research report on ‘insanity defense : legal standard and controversies’, the insanity defense is a legal concept in criminal law which allows a defendant to argue they are not responsible for a crime due to a mental illness or defect at the time of offense. It’s a controversial area, as it raises questions about free will, culpability and treatment of individuals with mental health issues. The legal standard for insanity varies by jurisdiction and it requires a significant impairment in mental functioning that prevents to defendant from understanding the nature of their actions or differentiating right from wrong.  The insanity defense also known as the psychological condition defense and it is an affirmative defence by reason in an unlawful case and arguing that defendant isn’t responsible for their  conduct due to insanity at the time of the felonious act. These provides a comprehensive disquisition of the insanity defense, assaying its legal foundations, difficulties, and broader counteraccusations. excavating into literal  elaboration, psychiatric  perceptivity, and  corner case law. Insanity defense is primarily used in criminal prosecutions. It is based on the assumption that at the time of the crime, the defendant was suffering from severe mental illness and therefore, was incapable of appreciating the nature of the crime and differentiating right from wrong behavior, hence making them not legally accountable for crime. Insanity defense is a legal concept not a clinical. This means that just suffering from a mental disorder is not sufficient to prove insanity. The defendant has the burden of proving the defense of insanity by a preponderance of the evidence which is similar to a civil case. An evaluating a defendant’s mental status examination and briefly discuss the legal standards and procedures for the assessment of insanity defense evaluations.

Introduction:

In the largest democracy on the planet, the press is often dubbed the fourth pillar, designed to challenge authority, uncover corruption, and amplify the voices of the people. But what occurs when that voice is stifled by the fear of legal repercussions? In India, the application of sedition laws—a relic from the colonial era—raises significant alarms regarding the state of press freedom.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY APPROACHES TO TECHNOLOGY IN BANKING

AUTHOR – SANJANA AGARWAL, STUDENT AT AMITY LAW SCHOOL, NOIDA, UP

BEST CITATION – SANJANA AGARWAL, LEGAL AND REGULATORY APPROACHES TO TECHNOLOGY IN BANKING, INDIAN JOURNAL OF LEGAL REVIEW (IJLR), 5 (8) OF 2025, PG. 864-873, APIS – 3920 – 0001 & ISSN – 2583-2344

Abstract

The accelerated introduction of technology in the banking industry has transformed financial services, providing improved efficiency, accessibility, and innovation. In India, various digital initiatives like the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), digital lending platforms, artificial intelligence (AI)-based credit scoring, and blockchain technologies have greatly revamped conventional banking. These development processes have, however, created a series of legal and regulatory issues, such as data privacy and protection, cybersecurity risks, algorithmic discrimination, financial fraud, and regulatory arbitrage.

This article critically reviews the legal and regulatory strategies implemented in India to counter these challenges. It discusses major frameworks and guidelines released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and other concerned authorities. The study highlights the role of instruments such as the RBI’s digital lending guidelines, regulatory sandboxes, and IT risk management directives in fostering a balance between innovation and regulation. Furthermore, it considers the gaps in existing laws, such as the absence of a comprehensive data protection regime, and evaluates how India can align its policies with global best practices.

Finally, the article advocates a coordinated, responsive, and future-oriented regulatory approach in order to match technological advances in banking with legal protection and institutional strength.

I. ABSTRACT

This paper critically examines the role of data mining in the development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially in the context of copyright law. As AI systems increasingly rely on large-scale datasets, many comprising copyrighted works for training, the practice of text and data mining (TDM) has become a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it serves as a cornerstone of innovation, enabling machines to simulate human-like reasoning and generate sophisticated outputs. On the other, it raises serious legal and ethical concerns regarding the unauthorized use of protected intellectual property. The legal vacuum that exists in jurisdictions like India, and the ramifications for authors’ economic and moral rights are explored along with the evolution and mechanics of data mining in AI development. It delves into critical jurisprudential debates, discussing real-world legal disputes such as the ANI v. OpenAI case to illustrate the urgent need for regulatory clarity. By analysing both the supportive and critical perspectives on data mining in AI, the necessity of a balanced framework, one that fosters innovation without undermining the foundational principles of copyright and authorship is pressed upon.

ABSTRACT

In recent decades, India’s legal ecosystem has encountered immense pressure owing to burgeoning case backlogs and procedural inefficiencies in traditional courts. With over four crore cases pending across different judicial levels, there is a compelling need to adopt efficient, cost-effective, and timely alternatives for dispute resolution. In this context, arbitration—an integral component of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)—has emerged as a potent mechanism, especially for resolving commercial and civil disputes. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of arbitration in India, its historical roots, legislative evolution, practical application, and its effectiveness in the present day.

Abstract

In light of the ability to promote economic growth, market consolidation and technical improvement, cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become essential instruments for business expansion. Due to the growing economies and rising foreign direct investment (FDI), nations like China and India have seen a spike in cross-border M&A activity as globalisation picks up speed. Despite the fact that both countries are key participants in international M&A, there are notable differences between their regulatory environments, economic policies and market dynamics. Historically, China has upheld a state-controlled system in which foreign investment is heavily regulated by the government. Foreign investors frequently encounter obstacles in vital industries due to stringent regulatory clearances, sectoral limitations and protectionist policies. However, Chinese corporations have been able to increase their worldwide footprint, especially in the industrial, technology and energy sectors, thanks to the country’s outward M&A policy, which is led by state-backed enterprises.

In contrast, India has taken a more liberal stance, especially following the 1991 economic reforms. A more open environment is offered to foreign acquirers by the regulatory framework, which includes the “Companies Act of 1956”, SEBI rules, and the “Competition Act of 2002”. Additionally, Indian companies have actively moved outside, purchasing assets in the consumer goods, pharmaceutical, and technology industries. The benefits and drawbacks of both models are examined in this comparative study of the commercial, legal, and economic aspects of cross-border M&A in China and India. Policymakers and companies may create plans to increase investment prospects, lessen regulatory obstacles, and boost market competitiveness in both economies by being aware of these distinctions.
