Abstract
Article 19 of the Constitution of India grants the right to free expression and free speech; yet every action and inaction in physical and virtual spaces remains acutely surveilled, suppressed and scrutinised in the 21st century. The effect of this confining governance leads to the phenomenon of the chilling effect, where citizens censor their beliefs, […]
Abstract
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has emerged as a significant mechanism for resolving disputes outside traditional court systems. In India, where judicial backlog and procedural delays have long undermined access to justice, ADR serves as a vital complement to formal adjudication. Rooted in ancient dispute resolution traditions and reinforced through modern statutory frameworks, ADR today encompasses […]
