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.

TOWARDS INCLUSIVITY: EXPLORING THE ADDITION OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE TO THE SPECIAL MARRIAGES ACT

Volume I Issue III /

TOWARDS INCLUSIVITY: EXPLORING THE ADDITION OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE TO THE SPECIAL MARRIAGES ACT Govind Dhir, 4th year Student at TNNLU. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT In recent years, India has made progress in LGBTQIA+ rights, notably by legalizing consensual same-sex relationships in 2018 through the Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India[1] ruling, which struck down Section 377 of the IPC. However, the article argues that more steps are needed to fully eliminate discrimination against same-sex couples. While the criminalization of homosexuality has been lifted, legal recognition for their relationships is still lacking. India’s existing marriage laws only recognize unions between heterosexual couples, leaving same-sex couples without benefits and legal acknowledgment. The article underscores the need for legal recognition of same-sex marriage in India to ensure full LGBTQIA+ equality and dignity, emphasizing the importance of societal acceptance and constitutional principles like Article 14. The article explores strategies for achieving legal recognition, including the adoption of ‘civil union’ as seen in other countries. Changing personal laws to recognize these unions may face opposition based on religious beliefs, making amendments to the Special Marriage Act of 1954 or introducing a new law governing the civil rights of same-sex couples more practical options. Activists and organizations continue to advocate for the legalization of same-sex marriage through legal challenges. Legalizing same-sex marriage is seen as a transformative step towards justice and inclusivity.
