Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
This course is designed to acquaint the students with the conceptual and operational parameters of these various general principles of contractual relations. Specific enforcement of contract is an important aspect of the law of contract. Analysis of the kinds of contracts that can be specifically enforced and the methods of enforcement forms a significant segment of this study. To apply the basic principles in contractual relations, there need to be a clear understanding of the basic sources of law of contract. As the major source of contract law being the principles of English common law, we need to discuss the evolution of law of contract and the similarities and dissimilarities with the English law of contract. To attain this objective Unit 1 of the syllabus deals with the historical perspective of law of contract, an introduction to the basic essentials of contract, standard form contract. Unit 2 deals with consideration as an essential requirement of contract. It also analyses the consequence of unlawful consideration and the exceptional instances where consideration is not required. Unit 3 deals with the capacity of parties to enter into a valid and enforceable contract. This mainly discusses about the parties such as minors, persons of unsound mind, persons disqualified by law, who are disqualified to enter into contracts. Unit 4 on the requirement of free consent in a contract discusses the vitiating factors of free consent viz. coercion, undue influence, fraud, misrepresentation and mistake. Emphasis is given on the voidable nature of such agreements. Units 5 and 6 deal with legality of objects, consideration and void agreements respectively. Unit 7 discusses the different ways by which a contract can be discharged and the remedies which are available to the parties aggrieved by breach of contract are included in Unit 8. A practical overview of Specific Relief Act which gives a judicial remedy to enforce performance of contract is included in Unit 9. |

Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
This course has been conceptualized in order to help the students engage with the emerging field of Public Policy. Its helps the student understand the various intersectionality that come to play when a policy is being made. It does so by first disentangling the idea of development and demystifying it, followed by introducing the different typologies that exist in the field of Public Policy. Then the subject takes a deep dive into the field by introducing the policy cycle, and thereafter, introducing the various development related policies that exist. Thereby linking the last Unit with the first and bringing it full circle. |

Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
Course Descripton: The guiding principle of this course is to provide the students with a solid grounding in the economic analysis of law, and pans out into 6 modules. Module 1 is designed with the intention of giving a glimpse of the historical evolution of the Law and Economics movement and introduces certain fundamental concepts of Economics used in legal analysis. Module 2 aims to show that free market economy alone is not solution for efficient allocation of resources. Market economy imperfections are reflected in a monopoly market and the student is made aware of the need for regulation of Monopoly. The module covers much of the economic theory behind antitrust law. Module 3 intends to give an economic perspective on patents, copyrights and trademarks. Module 4 presents the basic economic theory linking contract formation with increases in efficiency and whether or not contract doctrine can be squared with economic interests. The premise of Module 5 is to familiarize students with economic reasoning of tort damages, and gives practical insight into the different forms of liability. Module 6 helps in understanding the factors behind increasing crime rate. It brings into light different techniques which can be used to control crime rate. Course Objectives: Economic policies and criteria have always been the citadel on which the edifice of law is built. The objectives of the course are multidimensional- to introduce and equip the students with the fundamentals of economic analysis of law, to familiarize students with the “Law and Economics” methodology, to enable them to evaluate the efficiency of legal rules in relation to Property, Contracts, Torts and Criminal Law and to help students analyse public policies for dealing with problems arising in markets where competitive forces are weak. This relationship is more pronounced in our country where welfarism is one of the features of the basic structure doctrine. This course is also designed to introduce the students to this nexus between law and economic regulation and its need in the globalized world. |
|
Learning Outcome |
|
CO1: Express and understand the economic approach to law as well as microeconomic tools and concepts used in legal analysis CO2: Apply the tools of Economics with the aim of enhancing their analytical skills and help them to assess the desirability of laws/rules/regulations in unregulated monopolies CO3: Analyze the role of cost-benefit analysis within the legal framework in achieving the larger goal of human well being CO4: Evaluate and assess the importance of economic analysis in policy making and advisory functions in criminal, torts and contract law and serve as a subject matter expert on various forums. |

|
This course is aiming to impart the analytical skill and equip the student with the basic problems concerning law and the types of solutions sought. Thus, the student not only will be able to use this skill in practice but also is motivated to take up detailed historical studies on his own after the course. Since a basic idea in the designing of this course is to bring jurisprudence closer to our reality, in the selection of cases and reading materials the teacher should try to make use of the Indian material as far as possible Philosophy of law is a compulsory paper in the law course. It poses the fundamental questions of the nature of law, its place in society and how a legal system operates as a system of rules and as a social institution engaging with the ideals of justices and conflicting moral codes.

Course Objectives/Course Description |

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Unit 1 provides a detailed understanding of concept of rights and its correlation with duty and freedom. The main objective of Unit 2is to deal with the concept of Person.Unit 3will give the students a better clarity of meaning and concept possession and ownership and Unit 4about property and title and Unit 5about liability. Unit 5deal with obligations and kinds of obligations along with substantive and procedural laws connected to it. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Jurisprudence in its etymological sense means the science of law. It is the foundation on which the entire edifice of law is structured. It is therefore imperative to have a clear understanding of jurisprudence as it is sine qua nonfor the study of any law subject. The subject acquaints the students with the complexities of laws and introduces them to the means of solving them based on sound jurisprudential principles. In spite of there being several schools of thought on this subject, there is a general convergence of the fundamental principles. The study of jurisprudence aids the lawyer in the analysis of legal concepts, sharpens his technique of logical thinking and aids in understanding the assumptions upon which a statute rests. It transcends technical aspects and moves more in the realm of law as a tool for social engineering. As J.G. Phillimore observes, “such is the exalted science of jurisprudence, the knowledge of which sends the students into civil life full of luminous precepts and notions, applicable to every exigency of human affairs.” Jurisprudence may therefore be perceived as the grammar of law.
As with any subject, it is imperative to understand the concepts involved and the inter-relation between the concepts themselves; which coupled with sound logic and good language go a long way in applying the knowledge of law to a given situation. The study of various concepts functions as a road map for law students and lawyers alike in developing skills of good advocacy.
The core syllabus of this paper is confined to the various concepts of law. The study of concepts concretizes the study of jurisprudence and reduces its abstractness to a large extent. |

Course Objectives/Course Description |

Course description: Administration is an individual’s interface with the State. Due to radical change in the philosophy regarding the role and function of the state (from laissez faire to welfare), the opportunities of interaction with administration have increased manifold and continue to increase further. The situation is such that administrative actions impinges on every aspect of an individual’s life. Due to unprecedented rise in state intervention in an individual’s (whether citizen or non-citizen) life, the possibilities of accumulation of uncontrolled power and of arbitrariness in its exercise too has increased. This in turn has started adversely affecting legal rights granted to an individual by the law. Therefore, administrative law has been systematically developed as an instrument to ensure that the powers entrusted or delegated to the administrative authorities are exercised strictly in accordance with the law. Its rapid growth in the 20th century is regarded as the most significant development in the field of law. It deals with legal framework governing public administration and the principles to control executive power to avoid arbitrariness.

To examine the factors affecting legal rights granted to an individual by the law. 4. To evaluate the legal framework governing public administration and the principles to control executive power to avoid arbitrariness. |

Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
Intellectual property is an increasingly important generator of economic, social and cultural growth and development comprises not only valuable economic assets of private firms, but also the social and cultural assets of society. The potential impact of IP is so great that it is certain to have considerable effect on national and international economic development in the future.
A clear understudying of the intellectual property system has, therefore, become a necessity for all those associated with creative and innovative endeavor from policy makers, business executives to educators as well as artists and inventors themselves. This course seeks to provide a foundation for students to understand the enormous potential and power of IP and regulatory framework in India. The major objectives of the course are to(i) To understand the niceties and complexities of the global intellectual property system and the challenges it poses to India in terms of compliance to global standards of IP protection (ii) To identify IP as an effective policy tool for national, economic, social and cultural development, especially through the use of limitations and exceptions to monopoly rights and (iii) To equip students with the knowledge of the procedural and substantive IP system in India
In light of the above, Unit 1 seeks to impart the historical evolution of IP protection and an exposure to the international and global evolution of IPR in the current state. It will also emphasise on the philosophical and economic justifications for the grant of IPR. Unit 2 is designed to educate the students about the specific law relating to patents in terms of eligibility, subject matter acquisition, enforcement etc. Unit 3 examines the law relating to copyright in India in light of the 2012 Amendment. Unit 4 is designed to appreciate the law relating to trademark with special emphasis on the concept of distinctiveness, deceptive similarity, dilution, and various trends in passing off. Unit 5 aims at an understanding of the concept of designs and legal issues involved in the same. Unit 6 takes note of the expanding horizons of IP like semi conductor chips and new plant varieties as a response to new technology. It also addresses the conflicting areas by virtue of IP protection

Course Objectives/Course Description |

The Internet and new technological advancements are driving decentralization of the global economy, including financial services. Today, we can do the entire banking functions through our smart phones. For decades, banks had been the single entity for carrying out financial services in India. With the advent of financial technology firms (fin techs) there is better financial inclusion, as it is tapping the new generation customers on online platforms. Now central banks across the globe are also mulling on the introduction of central bank digital currencies or CBDCs. Some of the major FinTech products and services currently used in the market place are Peer to Peer (P2P) lending platforms, crowd funding, block chain technology, distributed ledgers technology, Big Data, smart contracts, Robo advisors, E-aggregators, etc. These FinTech products are currently used in international finance, bringing together lenders and borrowers, seekers and providers of information, with or without a nodal intermediation agency. These developments raise important questions of regulation of such digital platforms and the challenges it poses to customers with the absence of brick-and-mortar offices or physical presence.

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:60 |
No of Lecture Hours/Week:5 |
Max Marks:100 |
Credits:4 |
Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
In the age where legislation dominates the legal landscape, every aspect of legal practice has been predominated by the interpretation of statutes and construction of documents. Thus, ability to interpret and understand the operation of legislation has become a skill essential to give a reasoned opinion to any given legislative provision. Thereby, Interpretation of Statutes as a subject has become the heart of contemporary law. It can be described as a process through which the legislative instruments are given meaning, so that they can be understood and applied accordingly. It has a specific focus on locating and using legislation, aids to interpretation, and deployment of interpretative techniques. |
|
Learning Outcome |
|
CO1: Identify and recall the relevant statutory rules of interpretation. CO2: Interpret the appropriate provisions using the accepted tools and techniques of statutory interpretation. CO3: Apply statutory provisions to fact scenarios and communicate the interpretation, nature and effect of statutory provisions to relevant stakeholders, such as clients and courts across jurisdictions. CO4: Analyse different legislations and judgements for evaluating the working of interpretation in resolving the ambiguities. CO5: Draft a legislative instrument by applying a range of interpretation techniques that will contribute to its effectiveness and clarity. |

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:60 |
No of Lecture Hours/Week:5 |
Max Marks:100 |
Credits:4 |
Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
The primary focus of the course is to impart the concept and legal aspects relating to aviation and space laws at international and national levels. Aviation industry is growing fast globally. International and national civil aviation sector is significant from legal and economic perspective. Spatially outer space commences where air space ends and it is commonly misconstrued that space law and air law have the same fundamental principles but contrary to it the two fields are remarkably distinct branches of international law. Space Law is not an extension of air law, or a continuation of it. The principal difference between the legal regimes governing air space and outer space is that the air space above a state’s territory is subject to exclusive sovereignty of respective State. Outer space is not subject to sovereignty of any states. Aviation laws and air transport are significant in the present and future centuries. Freedom of air space and sovereignty are two disputed aspects
in the international aviation sector.

Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
Forensic science plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system as it provides the scientific-based information through the analysis of physical evidence, the identity of the culprit through personal clues that associate with the criminal through objects left by him at the criminal site like a fingerprint, blood drop or hair, footprints, mobile phones or any other gadgets. The objective of this course is to understand the applicability of Forensic science in criminal investigation and the role it plays to bridge the gap between science and law, describe and catalog the kinds of forensic evidence collected at crime scenes and track the use of forensic evidence in the criminal justice system.
|
|

Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
Conflict of Law explores one of the most complex areas of the law when legal problems transcend jurisdictional boundaries especially when two countries can apply its laws to a particular situation or transaction. The purpose of Conflict of Laws is to assist a Court in deciding a case which contains a foreign element. It consists of three main topics, namely the jurisdiction of the respective court, in the sense of its competence to hear and determine a case. Second, the selection of the appropriate rules of a system of law; domestic or foreign, which it should apply in deciding a case over which it has jurisdiction. The rules governing this selection are known as ‘choice of law’ rules. Finally, the recognition and enforcement of judgments rendered by foreign courts or awards of foreign arbitration. It is imperative to understand the concepts involved and the inter-relation between the concepts themselves; which coupled with sound logic and good language go a long way in applying the knowledge of law to a given situation.
UNIT 1 aims at the basic understanding of the conceptual facets of the subject and the fundamental interpretations governing the field. UNIT 2 is an account of the different personal factors dominating the trans-national activities. UNIT 3 is designed to study the very crucial jurisdictional issues in the light of English rules. UNIT 4 aims to impart the issues relating to sovereign immunity and the status of foreign judgments. UNIT 5 looks into the marital status and child care in the wake of various transactions across the borders. UNIT 6 envisages the commercial and tortuous liability with reference to trans-national omissions and commissions. UNIT 7 is devised to study the vignettes of international litigation. Course objectives: 1. .To understand both the theoretical framework and the functioning of international law. 2. To acquaint the students with the conceptual facets of the subject and to interpret and apply laws to legal issues. 3. To prepare the students for a clearer understanding of transnational transactions in the light of the domestic law and crucial jurisdictional issues 4. Aims to impart the issues relating to sovereign immunity,marital status,child care,commercial liability,tortious liability and the status of foreign judgments.

Course Objectives/Course Description |

International Criminal Law (ICL) is a subset of Public International Law that deals with the trial and punishment for international crimes. Quite different from public international law, ICL focuses on individuals and the concept of individual criminal responsibility. Individual criminal responsibility has to do with establishing the guilt of an individual as a partaker in the commissioning of international crimes. Undoubtedly, mens rea and actus reus play a crucial role in the establishing of guilt of individuals in international crimes. Defenses to criminal intent also play a crucial role in confirmation of the indictment against the accused. The procedure towards conducting a criminal trial before an ordinary national court is very much the essence of international criminal court/ tribunals also. The purpose of this course is to provide an insight into the distinct features of ICL, the basic principles pertaining to ICL and to understand the working of ICL through International Criminal Court and other fora. |
|
Learning Outcome |
|
CO1: Demonstrate a clear understanding of the development of and importance of
international criminal law. CO2: Identify the sources of international criminal law. CO3: Identify, describe and analyse the evolution and development of the concept of individual criminal responsibility. CO4: Describe in detail the defences to liability under international criminal law. |

“Witnesses” as Bentham said: are the eyes and ears of justice. If the witness himself is incapacitated from acting as eyes and ears of justice, the trial gets putrefied and paralysed, and it no longer can constitute a fair trial. ‘Witness’ is an essential component of administration of justice. By giving evidence relating to the charge of an offence or of a litigious fact, the witness carries out a sanctified duty of assisting the court to discern the truth. The information provided by witnesses becomes part of evidence. This is the reason why before giving evidence the witness either takes an oath in the name of God or makes a solemn affirmation that he will speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The witness has no risk in the decision of the criminal court as he is neither the accused nor the victim. He has no liability in a civil case as he is not a plaintiff or defendant and does not lose or suffer a decree. On the other hand, he is friend of the court. The witness performs an important public duty of assisting the court in deciding a lis. He sacrifices his time and takes the trouble to travel all the way to the court to give evidence. The witness should therefore be treated with great respect and consideration as a guest of court. Unfortunately, all these are seen not to be happening in the courts. Witness protection program and witness protection laws are simply the need of the hour. COURSE OBJECTIVES: a. Students will study the procedural as well as practical aspects of witness examination. b. Students will be familiarized with the leading cases and legislative proposals regarding the concept of witness examination. c. This course facilitates the students to learn about trial procedure and appropriate provisions in other statutes. d. This course will have features of practical training, mock trials and moot court problem in each unit. After completion of this paper, the student is able to understand the procedural aspects particularly before subordinate courts. |
|||
Learning Outcome |

CO1: Examine the credibility of witnesses, basic inputs, and ethics in witness preparation. CO2: Demonstrate a plan for establishing each legal element of a given simulation exercise to the required standard of proof with admissible evidence in civil proceedings. CO3: Evaluate a plan and execute a witness examination that comports with evidentiary standards and that persuasively establishes a fact in issue in criminal proceedings. CO4: Identify measures to emphasize prohibition against tampering with witnesses and the need to protect them. CO5: Compare series of measures shall be adopted to safeguard witnesses and their family members from intimidation and threats against their lives, reputation, and property. CO6: Compare a series of measures shall be adopted to safeguard witnesses and their family members from intimidation and threats against their lives, reputation, and property. |

The globalization of trade and investment flows has a profound effect on the practices and policies of international taxation. Simultaneously, the lack of a homogenous international tax system or even a unifying international tax treaty exacerbates issues of inequitable corporate taxation. Unlike other international law courses, international taxation is a study of the efforts to apply internationally recognized principles on bilateral treaties. This course aims to develop an understanding of the dynamics, negotiation and implementation of taxation treaties and the international organizations (OECD, UN) which influence the working of such treaties. In that sense, the course also looks at the inequities of the international tax structure and its perceived bias towards developed tax jurisdictions and how an OECD led international tax system compares to a UN led one (in tune with SDG 10 and SDG 16). Through this dialogue, the course also covers the OECD efforts on BEPS, and its current Pillar one and Pillar two recommendations and recent UN Model Treaty amendments. This course also analyses the various methods of avoidance of corporate and private transnational tax. As a consequence, it examines national and global anti-avoidance measures (such as SAAR and GAAR) which are designed to restrict tax avoidance, and their effectiveness and plausibility. The course aims to help students comprehend the application of domestic tax laws on transnational transactions and the parallel double taxation agreements and international tax principles which coexist with national laws. The course aims to provide a practical insight into real world applicability of international taxation practices, at the national and global levels, thereby increasing its importance towards employability as international tax lawyers. Students in the program will be equipped intellectually and practically for the practice of international tax law in a rapidly changing economic order.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. Introduce the concept, scope and relevance of international taxation and the existing legal framework.
2. Enhance the skills of interpretation and the application of the traditionally established principles of law to international taxation, in the absence of specific provisions.
3. Provide in- depth understanding of the existing legal framework through the involvement of case studies and adoption of comparative analysis with other jurisdictions.
4. Introduce global challenges, emerging issues of law around the world.

Course Objectives/Course Description |
|
In this course, the students will study the legal protections for inventions available under the Patents Act, 1970 and for designs under the Designs Act, 2000. The students will follow a life cycle approach to studying patents, beginning with patentability requirements, then the rights conferred once a patent is granted, followed by conduct that infringes those rights and defenses to infringement, and closing with remedies. Parallelly, starting from the designs eligible for registration, then application and registration process, proprietorship/authorship to restoration of lapsed designs followed by protection against piracy of registered designs.. |
|
Learning Outcome |
|
CO1: Explain and distinguish various key concepts under the Indian patents and
designs law CO2: Identify the criteria for patentability and registration of designs CO3: Understand the procedure for grant of patents and of registration designs CO4: Delineate the rights of the patent holder and copyright holder of designs CO5: Identify infringement or potential infringement of patent and design and
considerations relating licensing patents including available remedies. CO6: Identify piracy in registered designs and remedial measures |

Adjudication of dispute in favour of litigant in itself does not mean complete discharge of justice. The benefits given under the adjudication must reach the litigant. Execution is the most important aspect of civil justice. This course on law of execution of decree and orders of court in civil jurisprudence is aimed at providing a thorough understanding of the procedure to execute a decree contained in Order XXI of Code of Civil Procedure. The objective is to ensure an understanding on the powers and limitations of an executing court in deciding issues related to discharge and satisfaction of a decree; to provide detailed procedural steps to be followed by the decree-holder while applying for execution; to enable students to understand different modes of execution and select the most effective mode for particular decrees; to learn the procedure to execute foreign judgment and arbitral award; to enable students to apply the procedural provisions in drafting application for execution of various kinds of decrees and further to equip students with the analytical skill of raising plausible objections, identifying alternate remedies and identifying the consequences of specific modes of execution in terms of their limitations and effectiveness. |
|
Learning Outcome |
|
CO1: to get to understand the practical application of the procedure of execution of decree in civil courts CO2: to identify all the necessary clauses to be included in an application for execution and determine whether a particular dispute can be decided by the executing court CO3: to analyse the limitations and consequences of each mode of execution and to identify the most suitable mode of execution for a particular kind of decree out of arrest and detention, attachment of property, sale of property etc. CO4: to analyse an execution application to raise effective objections to the same, find alternate modes or remedies for the judgment-debtor also. CO5: to distinguish between the execution procedure for decrees by Indian courts and execution of foreign judgment and arbitral awards in India CO6: to apply and incorporate the provisions relating to execution in CPC to draft execution applications and objections |
