Abstract
Legal due diligence in Indian mergers and acquisitions has traditionally been organised around a patchwork of separate regulatory regimes, including the Companies Act, 2013, the SEBI Takeover Regulations, and the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. This blog examines two comparatively recent gaps in this patchwork: the Deal Value Threshold introduced by the Competition (Amendment) Act, […]
Abstract
Section 3 of the Competition Act, 2002 prohibits anti-competitive agreements, but its core requirement of a “meeting of minds” sits uneasily with pricing algorithms that can produce cartel-like outcomes without any human communication at all. This paper examines the Supreme Court’s decision in Samir Agrawal v. Competition Commission of India, arguing that it settles only […]

Now explicitly codified under Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), it […]

The rapid entry of AI into daily operations from automated surveillance logs and predictive software to synthetic media and deepfakes is forcing Indian courts to rethink how truth is proven in a courtroom. While digital records are generally admitted under Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, through procedural certification, AI outputs present a […]

In May 2026, the Supreme Court of India transformed road safety jurisprudence in SaveLife Foundation v. Union of India, ruling that the Right to Emergency Trauma Care is a non-negotiable fundamental right under Article 21 (Right to Life). Moving beyond early protections for Good Samaritans, the Bench elevated post-crash response into a constitutional obligation of […]
