Introduction: The End of a 22 Year Judicial Vigil The Supreme Court of India handed down a judgment on 29 May 2026 which could turn out to be among the most important cases concerning human trafficking in modern times. The judgment in Prajwala v Union of India & Ors was issued by the court after a period of more than two decades of judicial intervention in a matter involving a serious violation of India's human trafficking laws. The Indian strategy toward combatting sex work in the country was based solely on rescue and rehabilitation, which meant that it could not always differentiate between trafficked persons and voluntary adult sex workers. It is because of such an approach that the constitutional guarantee of liberty was undermined in favor of moral paternalism in practice. The time has come for the Supreme Court to demarcate the limits of the constitution on this issue. In dealing with the...

The Fine Print Trap: The Reality of Treatment Denials ​An insurance policy is a legally binding contract built on a promise of financial protection during a medical crisis. However, for many policyholders, this promise shatters at the hospital discharge desk. It is an all-too-common scenario: a patient undergoes a successful procedure, submits the bills for cashless clearance, and receives a cold rejection stating that the specific treatment is not covered under the terms of the plan. Faced with unexpected expenses, most regular consumers assume the corporate insurer must be legally correct. In reality, insurance companies frequently rely on complex "Exclusion Clauses" to protect their bottom lines, hoping that dense legal and medical terminology will discourage policyholders from contesting the decision. Understanding the specific mechanics behind these exclusions is the first step...

But sometimes law is affected by the thoughts, feelings and biases of human brain which affects choices, witness stories and court decisions. Psychology helps to explain the reason behind these issues and shows way to solve them. It also shows how unconscious biases affect judges. This article will help to understand the connection between both Law and Psychology. The aim is to blend the two fields to make a more human centric justice system. Legal Reasoning and the Human Mind Legal reasoning is used by judges to decide a case by using law in a logical manner. They look at the fact and then at relevant laws and after considering all the necessary factors, judges give final judgement of the case. But in this process, their decisions sometimes get affected by personal bias, thought or feelings. The aim is t...

Introduction Traditional Knowledge is defined by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as a "living body of knowledge, from generation to generation in a community, which is often contained in the peoples' cultural and spiritual identity". Traditional knowledge is basically sacred information that is derived from, and belongs to, the various tribes around the world. It consists of all types of knowledge including herbs, farming practices, ways of healing people, and so on. All this knowledge has been passed down through generations. But unfortunately, this knowledge is now in jeopardy because many foreign corporations, and individuals are trying to steal it in order to profit from the pure knowledge of the ancestors, without providing anything back to the tribal communities to whom the information belongs. This act of stealing traditional knowledge has com...

This Blog is Written by Shruti Chaurasia, 1st Year, BA LLB, Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith, Varanasi. In a quiet corner of Varanasi, a young college student scrolls through her phone during a festival break and suddenly freezes. There it is — a video of her favorite local politician delivering a hate-filled speech, inciting violence, complete with his voice, mannerisms, and even the familiar backdrop of the ghats. Except that he never said those words. The video was generated in minutes using freely available AI tools. Within hours, it spreads like wildfire across WhatsApp groups, polarizing communities and nearly sparking real unrest before fact-checkers intervene. This isn't a dystopian future; it's happening right now in 2026.  Deepfakes — hyper-realistic videos, audio, or images created by artificial intelligence — have moved from novelty to nightmare. What began as entertainment, like those viral celebrity face-swaps, has evolved into a powerful weapon capable of destroyin...

Introduction The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in administration and legal decision-making has fundamentally modified the justice delivery framework. From algorithmic policing to automated decision-making, automated methods ensure effectiveness, consistency, and fairness. However, these assertions must be scrutinized within the framework of the Indian Constitution, especially Article 21, which guarantees the right to life and autonomy.  Judicial interpretation has notably broadened the scope of Article 21 to encompass not only procedural due process but also fundamental rights such as dignity, independence, and privacy. This development illustrates the core principle of constitutional ethos, which requires that all state action must comply with fundamental values of justice and dignity of the individual. Given these circumstances, a key question...

This Blog is Written by  Diya Deb, 2nd Year, BA LLB, Techno India University. There is something quietly unsettling about watching a judge peer at a screen while a lawyer explains what an algorithm decided. The courtroom has always been a place of human judgment — of weighing words, reading faces, sensing hesitation. But somewhere along the way, technology walked through those heavy wooden doors and took a seat at the table. It did not ask permission. It simply arrived, dressed in the language of efficiency and objectivity, and courts across the world began to listen. The relationship between law and technology is always there. Courts have long relied on forensic science, fingerprint databases, and surveillance footage. But the tools that have entered the legal arena over the past two decades are fundamentally different. They do not merely present evidence. They interpret it. Risk assessment tools now inform bail decisions in some jurisdictions. Facial recognition software flags ...
