Many perpetrators of caste-based atrocities get away scot-free due to shoddy investigations and the negligence of prosecution and this results in low conviction rates under the SC/ST Act giving rise to the erroneous perception that cases registered are false and that it is being misused.

Under our Constitution, it cannot be presumed that the worship of one religion confers superior rights from another religion. It is true that a person’s relationship to what they consider divine is profoundly internal, and it exists within the boundaries of a private sphere into which no other individual is permitted to intrude. This is why the Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to profess, practice, and spread religion Read More: https://lnkd.in/gd92FsF6 #Secularism #ReligiousDiversity #ConstitutionalRights #ReligiousFreedom #IndianConstitution #EqualRights #LegalInsight #LegalAdvice #TheLawCodes #LegalAwareness

Arbitrability of IP Disputes Arbitration is one of the popular and structured forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms in India. It is a way to avoid court proceedings and arrive at settlements, without any judicial proceedings. The disputes under arbitration are decided by an arbitrator who renders the ‘arbitral award’, which is legally binding on both parties. Arbitration has become a preferred mode of settling commercial disputes. The very nature of an arbitration settlement is fundamentally different from a judicial proceeding in many aspects. Apart from being a much faster and more convenient form of dispute settlement when it comes to enforcement Arbitral awards unlike court judgments are not directly enforceable. The party seeking enforcement might have to resort to judicial remedies. While this fore-mode settlement works perfectly for commercial and trade disputes come disputes cannot be trailed by arbitration. Therefore by their very nature, the subject matter of some disputes is not capable of being decided by arbitration. This is where the concept of “Arbitrability” comes in, what it means is whether the subject- matter of a dispute can be decided by an arbitral proceeding or not.
