• ABSTRACT

The Constitution of India, as of date has been amended 105 times since it came into force. Amenability is an essential element of the Constitution to deal with contemporary issues. Having an extremely rigid Constitution will not suit the needs of the nation as it will not be in touch with present day circumstances. The real scope of Parliament's ability to modify the Constitution has been challenged on several occasions, ever since the 1st Amendment of the Constitution in 1951. The Supreme Court has made different interpretations regarding the powers of Parliament to amend the Constitution. These interpretations have wide ranging effects on the nature of our Constitution, governance and polity itself. These interpretations have affected the common lives of the citizens as well. Therefore, it is essential to understand the scope of Constitutional Amendments in India and its interpretation by the Supreme Court.

16. TRIBAL COMMUNITIES IN THE FACE OF COERCED RELIGIOUS CONVERSIONS

By- Kanishka Kansal | Student | School of Law | Manipal University Jaipur

•Abstract

Tribal communities in India have had a long history of facing neglect by the mainstream society. They have been deprived of their social, cultural, legal and even educational rights by the mainstream and are confronted with abject poverty and economic backwardness. Even their religions and religious practices have been questioned time and again and denied the same importance and recognition that other religions receive in India. This has led to the problem of religious conversions in India, which are often coerced and are therefore unethical and immoral. Tribal aboriginals in India have, even before India’s independence, been converted to other religions after receiving promises of freedom from poverty and other economic hardships and this often led to erosion of their own cultures and practices where they have been forced to give up their aboriginal religious identity.

By- Ritesh Roshan Samartha

•Abstract

The property rights of women, just like any other country, have developed and evolved out of struggle.

Even though the fact, that women were considered as “goddess” and were adored during the Vedic period, but they were ignored the right of inheritance. The history is evident, only male coparceners inherited the ancestral property. The position of women deteriorated when “sati and child marriages” stated being practices.

18. LEGALITIES OF AGENTS IN THE USUAL COURSE OF BUSINESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 188 OF THE INDIAN CONTRACT ACT, 1872

By- Manav Gupta

•Abstract

The law of agency for a layman is as simple as 'do whatever is told.' However, in legal terms, the mere use of the terms like ‘agency,’ ‘agreement,’ and ‘agent’ by the parties in a contract does not automatically create an agency relationship. Agents may act in ways not explicitly mentioned in the contract. The courts have to determine whether a specific act is within the scope of authority with the help of specific statutory provisions. Though sections 186 to 189 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 talk about agent’s authority but the primary focus of this paper would be on Section 188 and phrases like "usual customs and usages of the trade", "incidental to business", and "nature of the act or business".

23. ROLE OF POLICE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM OF INDIA

By - Sudarshana Srivastava

• Abstract

The Police agencies were created primarily to ensure public safety and supervise correct enforcement of the law. Over the decades, its roles have not changed. Till today, it plays a vital role in the criminal justice system of India. The police agencies set the stepping stone to the lengthy process of criminal justice by registering the crime committed. The police thereafter conducts an investigation, collects shreds of evidence, examines them, interrogates the victim and/or witnesses, and finally draws up a report. It concludes its duty by taking the alleged offender in their custody and thereby handing it over to the court of law. Thus, the role of the police is preliminary yet crucial in nature. Over the years the police have been accused of various mishappenings which have questioned their assistance in serving justice. India has witnessed innumerable instances of poor investigation, favoritism, and bribing. Just as the people were ready to make peace with their existence in the system, in course, sabotaging justice, the abuse of power knew no bounds. Mere mishappenings of the police went on to ‘police brutality in no time.

24. IMPACT OF HUMAN ACTIVITY ON ENVIRONMENT - VICE VERSA : AN EXPLORATORY STUDY 

By - SNEHA GUPTA & NAMRATA AHUJA (NMIMS, Kirit P. Mehta School of Law, Indore)

• Abstract

Human population growth increased conversion of natural ecosystems to agricultural, industrial, and residential use, as well as demand for ecosystem inputs such as fresh water, fiber, and soil fertility, as well as increasing strain on natural ecosystem capacity. Deforestation, growing agribusiness, illegal fishing and hunting, unplanned tourism, and pesticide contamination have all contributed to the gradual destruction of natural environments. The unrestricted use of pesticides and herbicides introduces contaminants into the environment. Mercury contamination of the environment is caused by unregulated gold mine, urban liquid and solid waste, including untreated sewage, the introduction of invasive alien species, unsustainable tourism, illicit hunting, animal trafficking, and soil deterioration. This biodiversity loss is the result of a lack of education and environmental awareness, as well as the fragility of environmental groups. Future generations will confront starvation, thirst, sickness, and calamity if we continue to lose biodiversity.
