Unveiling The Illusion: India’s Digital Privacy Failure Ruchi Rao, 2nd year, 3rd semester student at Institutional Affiliation: Guru Ghasidas Central University of Chhattisgarh. Deekshant Verma, 2nd year, 3rd semester student at Institutional Affiliation: Guru Ghasidas Central University of Chhattisgarh. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The advent of the digital age has interconnected our civilized society, providing a persistent connection between intelligence and pleasure through digital devices. However, this interconnectedness raises crucial questions about the privacy of our digital community. When individuals share personal information on websites, is it truly private? The internet, despite its numerous benefits, poses a significant threat to our privacy if our community fails to comprehend it is complexities. Have we ever questioned why social media platforms like Instagram tailor their content, such as reels, according to our mindset? Are social media users aware of the electronic agreements/contracts that websites enter into with them? It is not uncommon for websites to transfer users’ information to other platforms without their explicit consent, all in the pursuit of business growth. Even in the 21st century, with advanced technologies like 5G networks, our privacy remains insecure. Prominent social media platforms like Twitter can be hacked, dispelling the myth of privacy security. Moreover, online banking has opened avenues for money laundering. In light of these challenges, this paper critically examines the significance of data security in the 21st century, the concept of data privacy, the true implications of electronic agreements/contracts, the reasons behind the myth of data privacy, instances of international data breaches, the amendments of the IT Act, the recognition of the right to privacy under the Indian constitution, and the potential consequences if we fail to safeguard our privacy in today’s generation.

CYBERBULLYING AND HATE SPEECH ON SOCIAL MEDIA: EVALUATING LEGAL REMEDIES FOR VICTIMS IN INDIA
CYBERBULLYING AND HATE SPEECH ON SOCIAL MEDIA: EVALUATING LEGAL REMEDIES FOR VICTIMS IN INDIA Girisha Pathak, Penultimate Student at ICFAI University, Dehradun. Dr. Vivek Kumar, Assistant Professor at ICFAI University, Dehradun Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Cyberbullying and online hate speech are pervasive issues affecting millions of internet users, especially young people. This research examines the legal framework in India for addressing cyberbullying and online hate speech, such as provisions in the IT Act and IPC. However, gaps exist as these laws were not designed for digital spaces. This paper analyzes potential legal remedies for victims, including strengthening intermediary regulations for social media platforms, enhancing law enforcement capabilities, empowering victims with civil remedies like injunctions and damages, and alternative dispute resolution methods. Doctrinal and qualitative research methods are utilized to evaluate these remedies. Findings suggest that while criminal laws help punish perpetrators, they have limited ability to prevent harms and compensate victims. Hence, solutions like imposing a duty of care on intermediaries to moderate content, allowing anonymity removal to aide enforcement, establishing cyber-courts and fast-track procedures for civil suits, and promoting mediation and restorative justice to give victims a voice, are proposed. The paper concludes that a multifaceted strategy is required to address this complex issue. Holistic legal reforms that balance free speech, privacy, prevention of harm, accountability, and user welfare are recommended.

EXAMINING THE AGE OF CONSENT: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE POCSO ACT
EXAMINING THE AGE OF CONSENT: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE POCSO ACT Simarpreet Kaur, Ballb-9th Semester, student at University Institute of Laws, Panjab University Regional Centre Ludhiana. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT In 2012, India introduced the ‘Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act,’ a pivotal legal instrument aimed at combating child sexual abuse and safeguarding the well-being of children throughout the legal process. Notably, the Act raised the age of consent for sexual activity to eighteen, in alignment with revised rape legislation. This paper re-evaluates historical debates on the age of consent in late nineteenth-century India and examines their contemporary relevance. The study delves into the challenges faced by today’s teenagers, navigating a world saturated with easily accessible sexual information and grappling with natural curiosity and physical urges. The article deals with the implications of criminalizing consensual sexual activity within the framework of fundamental human rights principles. Furthermore, the article explores international legal frameworks related to the age of consent, while offering prudent amendments for the Indian legal system. This paper sheds light on the profound impact of the age of consent in India, underscores the necessity for thoughtful legal revisions, and addresses the ever-evolving landscape of adolescent sexual experiences in the modern era.

THE COLLEGIUM VS NJAC DEBATE: ANALYZING INDIA’S JUDICIAL APPOINTMENT SYSTEMS Tanya Gupta, Author is a 3rd year Law student of BBA LL.B. at Amity University, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The Judiciary must be encouraged to find ways and means to regulate its own affairs – consistent with the spirit of the Constitution. – Former Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh. The conflict over judicial appointments in India is a longstanding issue. The original constitutional provision stated that the President appoints judges in consultation with the Chief Justice of India and other judges. However, this system evolved into the collegium system, criticized for its lack of transparency and perceived nepotism. The National Judicial Appointment Commission Act, 2014, aimed to replace the collegium with a more transparent system but was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court a year after implementation. This article will analyze the historical evolution of judicial appointments in India, highlighting the issues that have emerged. It will then compare the Indian and American judicial appointment systems. Finally, the article will provide suggestions to enhance the judicial appointment process.

ROLE OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
ROLE OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR IN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Nancy Singh Suryavanshi, 4th year BA LLB (Hons.) student at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Bengaluru. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT This article aimed to identify the different concepts of IDs in corporate governance. The term “corporate governance” refers to the structure for managing and overseeing a company. “ID” refers to board members who are not directly affiliated with the company or its administration. In addition to balancing the board’s authority with that of senior management, IDs are brought in to ensure that all board decisions are made from a fair and balanced vantage point. Particularly in publicly traded companies with ownership and control being kept separate, where IDs play a crucial role in corporate administration. In the backdrop of high-profile corporate scandals, the role and effectiveness of IDs in corporate governance have come under scrutiny in recent years. This research paper talks about the function of the ID in the context of corporate governance and its role, legal responsibility, and liabilities. The paper also discusses the challenges faced by IDs in carrying out their duties, such as the potential for conflict with other board members or the need to balance their obligations to different stakeholders, with a comparative analysis between IDs and Executive directors. Additionally, the abstract highlights the benefits that IDs bring to an organization, including increased transparency and accountability, improved decision-making, and enhanced investor confidence.

Water Rights And Climate Change: An Analysis Of Transboundary Water Conflicts Amidst Environmental Challenges In The Indus Region With Specific Reference To The Indus Waters Treaty Of 1960
Water Rights And Climate Change: An Analysis Of Transboundary Water Conflicts Amidst Environmental Challenges In The Indus Region With Specific Reference To The Indus Waters Treaty Of 1960 Virendra Pratap Singh Rathod, Law Student at the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT In the delicate dance of geopolitics and international law, the Indo-Pak water conflict emerges as a poignant illustration of intricate complexities, where environmental, legal, and human rights dimensions interlace. Nestled in the heart of the Asian subcontinent, the storied waters of the Indus River, a life-source for millions, have become grounds of contention, weaving intricate patterns of cooperation and conflict. Amidst this multifaceted dynamic, the spectre of climate change casts an ominous shadow, exacerbating the existing fissures and heralding new, unprecedented challenges. The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), hailed as a beacon of bilateral cooperation amidst turbulent relations, now faces trials by the insidious, yet pervasive impacts of a changing climate. The Treaty, concluded under the aegis of the World Bank in 1960, has withstood the test of times and tides, arbitrating the shared usage of the Indus and its tributaries.[1] However, as climate change alters the hydrological landscape, impacting both the quantum and temporal distribution of these vital waters, the prescience and adaptability of the Treaty is increasingly being called into question.
