Abstract
The debate over Universal Basic Income (UBI) has migrated from the margins of welfare economics into mainstream constitutional and human rights discourse.

Abstract
The Indian Constitution’s structural integrity is anchored in the symbiotic relationship between Article 14, representing the Right to Equality, and Article 21, representing the Right to Life and Personal Liberty. Historically interpreted through a restrictive lens, judicial jurisprudence, particularly in the post-emergency era, evolved toward a holistic Golden Triangle framework comprising Articles 14, 19, and […]

Abstract
In India, the overwhelming majority of prisoners are not convicts but undertrials—persons presumed innocent yet deprived of liberty, often for years, while their guilt remains undetermined.

This article examines witness protection as […]
Abstract
The efficacy of any criminal justice system depends substantially upon the willingness of witnesses to participate in judicial proceedings without fear of intimidation, coercion, or retaliation. In India, the absence of a comprehensive statutory framework for witness protection for several decades resulted in widespread witness hostility, compromised prosecutions, and diminished public confidence in the administration […]
Abstract

Abstract
Every criminal trial is a journey to discover who is guilty or innocent. A judge presides over a criminal trial not merely to see that a guilty man does not escape, he also supervises it that no innocent man is punished. At the culmination of a criminal trial the judge shall prepare a judgment, either […]
