ANTHOLOGY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES UNDER COPYRIGHT Amisha Prakash, LLM student, Chanakya National Law University Download Manuscript ABSTRACT In the course of the years, rapidly emerging technology have influenced the academic environment in many ways. Access to a variety of information is now simpler than ever.  Although technology development is a benefit, many issues arise. They are never overwhelming. Technological itself most frequently arrives with remedies Owing to technological developments, this accessibility has also created a pandora box of false and incorrect material accessible on many academic and non-academic sites. It is thus essential that correct and well investigated information be disseminated. Academic research is at stake here. Good academic research is also essential in the creation of well-written and comprehensive textbooks which may be utilised for academic purposes. The recent High Court decision in Delhi that acknowledged this concept was welcomed by students, Indian publishers, etc. as historical. This article would thus analyse the exemption to fair usage for educational or scholarly reasons. It also explains the Indian stance on copying, whether it constitutes a copyright violation in light of the current High Court decision in Delhi. Further this article will also analyse the implications of the case Delhi University which dealt with copyright law and fair use in context of authorial rights and academic access.

CONTOURS OF DIGNITY: EXAMINING SEX WORK IN INDIA AND BEYOND

Volume 1 Issue IV /

CONTOURS OF DIGNITY: EXAMINING SEX WORK IN INDIA AND BEYOND Kovid Tripathi, B.A LLB 6TH Semester Student at Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The public use of terms like “Veshya,” “Randi,” and “Fahesha” can evoke intense emotions, especially when associated with one’s family, contributing to a prevalent societal disdain towards sex workers in India. Despite the historical roots of sex work in economic necessity, the lives of sex workers are marked by shame and societal hatred. Our article delves into the moral intricacies of prostitution, assessing the theoretical constitutional rights of sex workers through a critical analysis of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act of 1956 in Indian legislation. We explore the complexities of prostitution, evaluate the constitutional rights of sex workers, and extend our analysis to compare countries where prostitution is legal, discussing the potential benefits of legalization in India. As contributors, we actively examine the positive transformations that could arise from officially recognizing prostitution in India as a labour right, scrutinizing measures by the Indian apex court. Addressing pivotal judgments on sex work, the article tries to examine the employment rights of sex workers, emphasizing the necessity to empower and protect this marginalized group. The paper contributes to a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by sex workers, advocating for their rights in both legal and societal realms. While underscoring the resistance of societal perspectives to change, we advocate for acknowledging fundamental human rights for sex workers, providing a meaningful perspective in the ongoing discourse on this critical societal issue. The paper, in its entirety, supports the provision of labour rights for sex workers in India and emphasizes the respect due to them.

RECOGNISING PROSTITUTION AS A PROFESSION AND PROTECTING ITS DIGNITY UNDER ARTICLE 21 OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION​

Volume 1 Issue 1 /

RECOGNISING PROSTITUTION AS A PROFESSION AND PROTECTING ITS DIGNITY UNDER ARTICLE 21 OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION NIKITA AMBWANI & RUPALI CHAUHAN, LAW STUDENTS, UNIVERSITY OF RAJASTHAN, JAIPUR Download Manuscript ABSTRACT In a culture where patriarchal traditions are strongly upheld, the question of whether or not sex work (including prostitution) should be recognised as a career remains contentious. Every time it’s used, the phrase “prostitution” conjures up all the negative connotations that go along with it. Efforts to respect, protect, uphold, and promote the rights of sex workers must be based on their status as individuals and citizens with rights guaranteed by the Constitution, which has received increased attention in recent years due to a growing debate on the topic at both the international and domestic levels. The Supreme Court of India has also issued guidelines to help sex workers live with respect in the country. In the first section of this study, we see that prostitution has long been an integral part of Indian culture. After that, a discussion of the constitutional protections that safeguard the rights of sex workers is provided, and finally, the myths and realities that surround prostitution are discussed. Policymaking strategy recommendations are provided in the last section of the study report.
