Law, Development And Socio-Economic Policy (Challenges in the 21st Century India)

Law, Development and Socio-Economic and Policy Challenges in 21st Century India, is a collection of essays on topics that are hotly- debated across the world, that are areas of concern for most countries and that touch individual lives at some level or the other. These scholarly papers emphasize that law is interdisciplinary and is needed to address issues in the field of environment, international relations, science and technology, gender, banking and economy. The idea behind this compilation of essays is to highlight issues and to explore them in a legal perspective.

The book is divided into five parts, each dealing with a separate topic. Every essay in the book deals with legal challenges and opportunities, lacunae in the existing system and tries to offer solutions to overcome the same. The most notable feature of the compilation is that it is con­temporary and enables one to engage with the issues, thereby stirring the thought process. Recent and relevant case laws such as Hutchinson Essar Telecom Co. case, (2012) 170 Comp Cas 369, Danial Latifi v. Union of India, (2001) 7 SCC 740: AIR 2001 SC 3958, Lily Thomas v. Union of India, (2000) 6 SCC 224: AIR 2000 SC 1650, Sarla Mudgal v. Union of India, (1995) 3 SCC 635: AIR 1995 SC 1531 and Satyam Infoway Ltd. v. Sifynet Solutions (P) Ltd., (2004) 6 SCC 145: (2004) 28 PTC 566 SC have been discussed in detail.
