1.0. Course Description

The Law of Torts is primarily concerned with redressal of wrongful civil actions by awarding
compensation. In a society where men live together, conflicts of interests are bound to occur and
they may from time to time cause damage to one or the other. In addition, with the rapid
industrialization, tortious liability has come to be applied against manufacturers and industrial
units. The Law of Torts had originated from Common Law and by and large this branch of law
continues to be uncodified. Tortious liability has been codified only to a very limited extent such
as workmen’s compensation, motor vehicle accidents, consumer protection and many more.
As the Law of Torts is basically a judge made law, students are required to study it in the light of
judicial pronouncements. They are required to equip themselves with the latest developments
extending to the entire course. Keeping in mind all these aspects, the syllabus has been framed and
it will surely fulfill the changing legal perspective in the post liberalized era.

The Contract Act, 1872 was enacted on the basis of English Contract Act, 1872. Many of the
provisions of the Act are influenced by the provisions of English Contract Act. But, in some places, in
order to make the Act suitable for Indian purpose, certain changes have taken place. Contract-I teaches
us general principles of Contract. It includes offer and acceptance, consideration, lawful object, legal
formalities, capacity of the parties, remedies for breach of contract, E-contract etc. It also covers
standard form of contract. Students will acquire basic as well as working knowledge of contract.
2.0. Course Objectives:

Law on contract is one of the ‘foundation courses’ in the scheme of professional legal
education. It touches equally upon the lives of ordinary persons and activities of small and big
business houses. This branch of law deals with law relating to promises, their performance and
enforceability. Therefore the main objectives of the course are to make the students understand
the general principals of law of contract. Law has to change to the changing needs of time. Due
to the rapid growth of technology, a new medium of contract formation has come into
existence, what is referred to as E-Contracts and standard form contracts. This course will also
acquaint the students with changes that have been necessitated in law owing to this
development. This course has also been framed with an eye to cater to the ever growing needs
of the globalized era.

Version1.1 4 0 0 4
co-requisites
Semester VII
Programme B.A. LL.B.(H.) & B.Sc.LL.B.(H.)
Course Description
Laws enacted by the legislatures are interpreted by the judiciary. Enacted laws, especially the
modern Acts and Rules, are drafted by legal experts and it could be expected that the language
will leave little room for interpretation or construction. But the experience of all, who have to
bear and share the task of application of law, has been different. It is quite often observed that
courts are busy unfolding the meaning of ambiguous words and expressions and resolving
inconsistencies. The age old process of the application of the enacted laws has led to formulation
of certain rules of interpretation or construction. “By interpretation or construction is meant”,
says Salmond, “the process by which the courts seek to ascertain the meaning of the legislature
through the medium of authoritative forms in which it is expressed”. A statute is an edict of the
Legislature and the conventional way of interpreting and construing a statute is to seek the
intention of its maker. A statute is to be construed according to the intent of them that make it
and the duty of judicature is to act upon the true intention of the legislature.
Course Objectives
1. To understand the concept of Interpretation and construction & difference thereto.
2. To understand and examine the relevancy of various principles of interpretation
3. To identify the roles of judiciary in ascertaining meaning of any statute or in law making.
4. To assess the judicial trends in India
Course Outcomes
On completion of this course, the students will be
1. Acquainted with the concept and various types of Statutes.
2. Appreciate the relevancy of interpretation of the statute.
particular Statutes.
4. Understand the relevancy of Internal and External Aid of Interpretation.

patents, designs, trademarks and protection against unfair competition from the traditional core
of intellectual property. The subject matter of these rights is disparate. Inventions, literary
works, artistic works, designs and trademarks formed the subject matter of early intellectual
property law. One striking feature of intellectual property is that, despite its early historical links
to the idea of monopoly and privilege, the scope of its subject matter continues to expand. The
twentieth century has seen new or existing subject matter added to present intellectual property
systems (for example, the protection of computer software as part of copyright, the patentability
of micro-organisms as part of patent law), and new systems created to protect existing or new
subject matter (for example, plant variety protection and circuit layouts). The strongly
expansionary nature of intellectual property systems shows no sign of changing. Internationally,
for example, special legal protection for databases remains part of the work program of the
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

In modern times, the infusion of technology in crime investigation has been a major
breakthrough in the process of advancement of criminal justice. The Police, as a major
enforcement wing of the criminal justice administration, utilize scientific tools and techniques
to detect a crime, reconstruct the crime scene, identify the alleged offender and establish vital
links. The Courts, as the trial wing of criminal justice administration, take account of these
physical evidences, otherwise infallible, and determine with enhance accuracy the innocence
or guilt of the offender. In this way, the efficiency and effectiveness of criminal justice
functioning has come to be intertwined with the extent of use of technological tools in crime
investigation.
In India, the criminal justice system is basically based on adversarial system whose
main hypothesis is that every person is presumed to be innocent unless the contrary is proved.
This system talks about the rights of the accused persons, prisoners and victims. In criminal
jurisprudence, there is a presumption of innocence and right to silence of the accused and
burden of proof on the prosecution. So, now the question arises that how far an accused should
be given benefits and detriments regarding forensic science and criminal justice administration.

• To understand the basic concept of criminal justice administration.
• To know about the technological advancements related to forensic science.
• To assess and analyse the role of different wings (enforcement wing, trial wing,
correction wing and execution wing) of criminal justice administration.
• To examine the challenges of criminal justice administration.
• To know about the liberal tools of criminal justice administration such as

compensation to victims of crimes, plea bargaining etc.
• To assess the rights of accused persons and prisoners.

Course Description
Whenever a law addresses a legal problem that has a foreign element, there is a potential
conflict of laws.
In today’s world the distances are getting smaller, the world is becoming a global village
and the inter-state transactions have enhanced manifold. The transactions include,
transactions with regard to marriage, property, adoption and contracts. Legal issues with
regard to these transactions are increasing day by day. Thus, the courts are facing
problems in the form of cases with foreign elements. So Students should have knowledge
of all the aspects of Private International Law when they go before the court to practice.
In essence, whenever conflict of laws arises, the key issues are: whose courts have
jurisdiction, whose laws are to be used, and can the judgement be enforced? These
questions are at the core of this subject guide, and they range across every facet of human
activity in which the law may play a role.
Course Objectives
To understand the Conflict of laws and how Law for the same issue can be different in
different nations, there are three main objectives of this subject.
The first two questions must be asked and answered every time we are faced with a
problem which has a foreign element. The third question only arises where there is a
foreign judgment.

1. Course Description
Till 1975, there were only a handful of countries having competition laws on their statute
books. Today, more than 90 jurisdictions boast some form of competition laws. The Indian
parliament passed the Competition Act, 2002, which has replaced the Monopolies and
Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969. As India transitions from a “command and control”
economy to a “free- market” economy, the nascent Competition Act is supposed to act as a
bulwark of necessary support structure. Competition plays a vital role in ensuring productivity,
innovation and responsive market. Policies to stimulate competition are a key driver for improving
the micro and macroeconomic performance of an economy. In a liberalized economy customer is
equipped with the assurance of better quality of goods and services at an affordable price.

• To enable students to critically reflect upon the basic principles and policies of
competition law.

competition.
3. Course Outcomes
On completion of this course, the students will be able

Competition Law in controlling unfair practices of various business enterprises
hampering interest of consumers.
• To understand the meaning and scope of various anti-competitive practices, abuse of

dominant position and combinations and the rules and regulations governing them.

Catalog Description
The right to information is implicitly guaranteed by the Constitution. However, with a view to
set out a practical regime for securing information, the Indian Parliament enacted the Right to
Information Act, 2005 and thus gave a powerful tool to the citizens to get information from the
Government as a matter of right. The commencement of the RTI regime marked the dawn of a
new era. Different stakeholders have played an important role in carrying forward the regime and
have helped the government in inculcating a culture of transparency and accountability in the
working of public authorities. This law is very comprehensive and covers almost all matters of
governance and has the widest possible reach, being applicable to Government at all levels-
Union, State and Local as well as recipients of government grants.

Catalog Description
"Alternative dispute resolution" (ADR) is a term generally used to refer to informal dispute
resolution processes in which the parties meet with a professional third party who helps them
resolve their dispute in a way that is less formal and often more consensual than is done in the
courts. While the most common forms of ADR are mediation, conciliation and arbitration, there
1|Page
are many other forms: judicial settlement conferences, fact-finding, ombudsmen, special masters,
etc. Though often voluntary, ADR is sometimes mandated by the courts, which require that
disputants try mediation before they take their case to court.
The major concern of law is conflict resolution. Familiarization with the modalities and
techniques of resolution of conflict is a necessary component in the endeavors of developing
expertise in juridical exercise. The traditional justice delivery system through adjudication by
courts had already given way to a large extent to many an alternative mode of dispute resolution
in the common law countries. The advent of globalization has enthused this transformation
everywhere. The study of ADR is highly significant in moulding the students of law to act as
soldiers of justice in the ever changing socio-economic scenario. The course aims to give the
students an insight into the processes of arbitration, conciliation and mediation in areas where the
traditional judicial system had its sway in the past and in the new areas of conflicts that demand
resolution by alternative methods. No doubt, the course has to be taught with comparative and
international perspectives with a view to bringing out the essential awareness of the national and
international systems emerging at the present context.
At present there are about 30 million cases pending in the Indian Courts. The need of the hour is
to create an awareness of ADR Methods among the people and to prepare a large pool of trained
professionals in the field of ADR who will be able to practice these ADR Methods to resolve
disputes.

Hindu law has the most ancient pedigree of any known legal system. Hindu law may be
described to be the ancient law of the Hindus rooted in the Vedas and enounced in the Smritis
as explained and enlarged in recognised commentaries and digests and as supplemented and
varied by approved usages. The concept of Hindu law is deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy
and Hindu religion. Till this day, no precise definition of the word ‘Hindu’ is available in any
statute or judicial pronouncement; it has defied all efforts at definition. There are two main
schools of Hindu law; viz. the Mitakshara school and the Dayabhaga school or Bengal school.
They have emerged in the era of Digests and Commentaries. The codified Hindu law lays down
uniform law for all Hindus. In the codified areas of Hindu law, there is no scope for existence
of schools. The schools of Hindu law have relevance only in respect of the un-codified areas
of Hindu law.

Programme B.A.LL.B.(H.)

The present course is procedural in nature and most of the provisions are contained in the
Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. It provides the machinery for the investigation of crime,
apprehension of suspected criminals, collection of evidence, determination of guilt or
innocence of the accused person and the determination of punishment of the guilty.
Additionally, it also deals with public nuisance, prevention of offences and maintenance of
wife, child and parents. The functionaries of the Criminal Justice System are duty bound to
ensure that those who undermine the happiness and security of the society by committing
offences of any kind do not go unpunished. It is also their duty to protect the human rights of
those who come in contact with them in the process of investigation and trial. Those held guilty
on the basis of evidence should be adequately punished but at the same time it must be ensured
that no innocent is unnecessarily punished. It expects the criminal justice system has to be
geared up in such a manner that investigations are conducted by efficient personnel in a
scientific manner, trial is held without delay of those charged with criminal offences with
sufficient evidence against them and trials are conducted effectively, efficiently and concluded
expeditiously before honest and efficient presiding officers. The Code of Criminal Procedure
contains the machinery for the investigation of crime, apprehension of suspected persons,
conduct of trial and the sentencing of the accused. It is further aimed at trying to provide a
balance between the needs of the investigating and adjudicatory bodies to detect crime,

revision provisions, confirmation of death sentence, suspension, remission and commutation
of sentence etc. The purpose of this course is to give a clear idea to the students about the
procedure established by law to deal with the stages from reporting of a crime till the sentencing
of criminal cases.

taxing powers assumes added significance. A study of the constitutional framework on taxation
is also important for all these abovementioned reasons. Along with this, this course aims at an
analysis of the different laws enacted in exercise of these powers with their safeguards and
remedies sheds light on the mechanics of the taxation by the Union and the States.
