Hospitals cannot legally detain patients or withhold deceased bodies over unpaid medical bills.

Under the police act of 1861, a police officer is considered to be always on duty
Under the police act of 1861, a police officer is considered to be always on duty
The doctrine ensures that police officers remain vigilant and responsive, enabling immediate intervention in emergencies regardless of official duty hours. This distinguishes policing from ordinary employment and reinforces the idea of public duty and responsibility. However, in the context of modern constitutional governance, this principle raises critical concerns. The absence of clearly defined working hours often leads to excessive workload, stress, and a lack of work-life balance among police personnel.

Criminal justice system: a pillar of rule of law
Criminal justice system: a pillar of rule of law
Criminal law is the branch of law that deals with offences committed against the State, society, or individuals and provides punishment for such wrongful acts. Its primary purpose is to maintain public order, protect citizens, prevent crime, and ensure justice. Criminal law defines acts that are considered crimes, such as theft, murder, assault, cheating, and cybercrime, and prescribes penalties like imprisonment, fine, or both. In India, criminal law is mainly governed by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023.

Criminal justice reform in india: challenges, developments, and the path forward, a comprehensive legal analysis
India's criminal justice system is one of the most complex in the world, governing over 1. 4 billion people through a network of investigative agencies, trial courts, appellate tribunals, and penal institutions. For over 160 years, the foundational statutes of this system, the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (later revised in 1973 as CrPC), and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 , were products of British colonial administration, designed as instruments of control rather than vehicles of justice. Their inadequacy in addressing contemporary realities became increasingly apparent with each passing decade.

Constitutional morality vs state paternalism: a critical analysis of the bihar prohibition regime
Constitutional morality vs state paternalism: a critical analysis of the bihar prohibition regime
The Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016 introduced one of the strictest prohibition regimes in India. Enforced with the stated objective of improving public health and reducing social harm associated with alcohol consumption, the legislation criminalizes the manufacture, possession, transportation, purchase, sale, and consumption of liquor throughout the State of Bihar. Although the policy seeks constitutional support from Article 47 of the Constitution, the implementation framework of this law has raised serious constitutional concerns relating to individual liberty, proportionality, procedural fairness and equality before the law. This article critically analyzes the constitutional morality of the prohibition regime in Bihar and its conformity with the guarantees enshrined in Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India.

Life of an accused person: the enduring and unremovable stain of criminal labels
The article deals with the life of an accused person who suffers throughout their life after being given the “evil” tag of ‘accused’. Once a person, whether wrongly or rightly, receives this label, they are often considered guilty for the rest of their life, even if they have done nothing wrong. This stigma cannot be easily washed away, and not only the accused but their entire family suffers for a lifetime. Society tends to view the accused and their family differently, often assuming the commission of a serious crime, even if the person has been released from jail without conviction. The article also highlights that such labeling can contribute to an increase in crime in society.

Res sub judice (stay of suits) and res judicata
The doctrines of res sub judice and res judicata are fundamental principles under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, aimed at ensuring judicial efficiency and preventing multiplicity of litigation. While res sub judice (Section 10 CPC) restricts courts from proceeding with a trial when a similar matter is already pending before a competent court, res judicata (Section 11 CPC) bars the re-litigation of issues that have already been finally decided. Together, these doctrines uphold the finality of judgments, avoid conflicting decisions, and promote certainty in the administration of justice.

The ant and its discontents: a critical study of the ant theme in literature, symbolism, and the politics of submission
This article undertakes a sustained critical engagement with the ant as a literary, philosophical, and political theme across a broad range of texts, traditions, and disciplinary terrains.The ant— small, industrious, collective, and often invisible—has served as one of the most versatile and ideologically productive figures in the human imagination.From Aesop's fables to contemporary postcolonial scholarship, from Jain cosmologies to colonial entomology, the ant has been conscripted into the service of divergent and often contradictory ideological projects. This essay argues that the ant theme is not merely a decorative or naturalisticmotif but a deeply political and ethically charged symbolicgrammar—one that encodes anxieties about labour, collectivity, individuality, empire, and what it means to submit, survive, or resist.The essay also critically examines the culture of literary submissions and the ways in which the act of submitting creative or critical work mirrors, and sometimes subverts, the very dynamics of hierarchy and collectivity that the ant theme brings into relief.

Bail in india – types, principles & judicial trends
Bail is an essential aspect of the Indian criminal justice system that seeks to balance individual liberty with the interests of justice. Based on the principle that every accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, bail allows an individual to remain free while legal proceedings are ongoing, subject to certain conditions. Over time, the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court of India, has consistently emphasized that bail is the rule and jail is the exception. This approach reflects the importance of protecting personal freedom while ensuring that the accused remains available for investigation and trial.
