Abstract

Abstract
**Abstract** Maritime law has traditionally assessed liability through an outcome-oriented framework in which legal responsibility crystallises only after damage, collision, or casualty has occurred. The emergence of digital twin technology challenges this foundational assumption by enabling ships to predict structural failures, navigational hazards, and operational risks before they materialise. This article examines whether the availability […]

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) is one of the most significant structural reforms in India’s post-liberalisation legal framework. Although commonly viewed as a mechanism for time-bound insolvency resolution, its significance extends beyond debt recovery.

The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, introduced a child-centric, gender-neutral, and comprehensive statutory framework to combat child sexual exploitation in India.

Utilizing a doctrinal and socio-legal methodology supported […]
Abstract
This case commentary critically evaluates the Supreme Court of India’s decision in Supriyo v. Union of India (2023), examining how the Court’s refusal to grant legal recognition to same-sex marriages represents a regressive departure from transformative constitutionalism. Grounded in a 3:2 split, the majority held that the “right to marry” is a statutory privilege rather […]

Union of India (2026)—the study underscores how the judiciary has expanded constitutional rights […]
