Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The Transfer of Property Act, 1882, plays a crucial role in governing property transfers in India. Sections 13 and 14 of this Act address the intricate aspects of unborn beneficiaries and the rule against perpetuity, respectively. This research paper comprehensively analyzes the interplay between these two sections and their implications in property transactions.  The paper begins with an introduction to the Transfer of Property Act, highlighting the significance of Sections 13 and 14. It then delves into Section 13, exploring the provisions governing the transfer of property to unborn children. The legal requirements, conditions, and implications for property succession and inheritance rights are examined, with relevant case law examples. Subsequently, Section 14, which deals with the rule against perpetuity, is analyzed. The concept of perpetuity, its purpose in property transfers, and the provisions of Section 14 are explained. The impact of this rule on property rights and exceptions to it are discussed in detail. The research paper then focuses on the interplay between Sections 13 and 14, investigating how the transfer to unborn beneficiaries interacts with the rule against perpetuity. Case studies and legal precedents are presented to illustrate this interplay and its significance in property transactions. Furthermore, the paper explores international perspectives and comparative analysis to gain insights from other jurisdictions. Critical evaluation, controversies, and potential reforms related to Sections 13 and 14 are also discussed.

TURN OF TABLES : AN OVERVIEW OF THE LEGALITY OF THE JALLIKATTU PRACTICE

Volume I Issue II /

TURN OF TABLES : AN OVERVIEW OF THE LEGALITY OF THE JALLIKATTU PRACTICE Disha Bhalla, First-year student at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University, Lucknow. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Recently, the Jallikattu Practice performed in the State of Tamil Nadu had a rollercoaster ride. Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu, Bullock-cart racing in Maharashtra, and Kambala in Karnataka are culturally infused bull-taming sports performed in these states. Their legality has been a subject of challenge for years now. The apparent conflict between the infliction of harm on animals and humans involved, and the cultural significance of the sport/s has left the judiciary in hot water. Despite this, the judiciary has finally derived some crucial conclusions in this regard.  But to grasp the spirit of the issue, understanding the legal background stands as a requisite. This Article aims at analyzing the timeline of events and providing an overview of the legality of the Jallikattu practice. From the basic understanding of what the practice is to the analysis of the historical decision recently held in the Animals Welfare Board of India v. Union of India[1], this Article aims at providing an understanding of all. All this started with a Writ Petition filed against this conventional practice in 2014, which eventually got the Practice struck down. However, protests by the performers reignited the issue. The final verdict has been at the long haul ever since.  But the wait is finally over, with the hoped-for recent judgment of a Constitutional bench of the Apex court substantiating their conclusions and turning the tables.

LEGAL ASPECTS OF MARRIAGE OF MENTALLY UNSTABLE INDIVIDUALS Garima Sachan, Student at Hidayatullah National Law University. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The legal aspects of marriage of mentally unstable individuals are complex and often raise ethical and moral questions. Marriage is a legal and social institution that confers a range of rights and obligations on individuals. For mentally unstable individuals, their ability to understand the nature and consequences of the marriage contract may be impaired, which gave rise to the question about their capacity to consent to marriage. Thus, it is essential to protect the rights and interests of mentally unstable individuals who may be vulnerable to exploitation or abuse.

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ARMED FORCES SPECIAL POWER ACT (AFSPA). A NEED OF THE TIME OR A DELINEATION FROM THE MORALITY OF THE LAW? Mohammad Anas,Faculty of Law Aligarh Muslim University, Murshidabad Centre. Kaif Hasan, Faculty of Law Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Martin Luther King Jr. stated that “There are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” Armed forces special power act (AFSPA hereafter) is imposed on states or areas by the center of the governor of a state after it is declared “disturbed” under section 3 of the said Act. The Act defines these areas to be hazardous or prone to militancy and gives exclusive power to the armed forces deployed in these areas. It is the comprehensive power that the armed forces enjoy after the implementation of this act that is becoming the reason for apprehension. Pure impunity to the armed forces under this act gives them the power to shoot down any person on mere suspicion of them being involved in the contravention of the law. Various claims questioning the authenticity of these encounters have been raised with negligible or no action being taken at all. This paper accentuates various such claims and also a handy view of the act of violating human rights. The paper undertakes empirical and analytical research into the morality, or immortality of law, whichever can be concluded upon elucidating the facts and circumstances and in consequence, the predicament of those who are affected by AFSPA. The letter of the law in the paper is one thing, its motive is another, and its application, that matters, is a whole different thing, that is the real subject matter of any law. And the real evaluation of law is through those who are affected by it, be it in negative or positive terms. The political aspirations of the rest of the country can never scapegoat the equally innocent precious lives, as a sacrifice to sustain or replenish the former. The paper also concerns a jurisprudential analysis of the said Act. The paper concludes that if it is imminent in all circumstances to sustain this law to sustain peace, which the data proves contrary, then it would also be in the best interest of humanity, peace, and the morality of the country to make some serious deliberations upon the law.
