 law and morality Introduction The world around us is a mix of various views, values, laws, and standards, all of which dictate how one should act in society. To avoid ambiguity and confusion, it is critical to make distinctions between all of these. Law and morality are two such problems that are frequently discussed together. Laws are formal laws that outline what we must and must not do as members of a society. These are put in place by the state and the judiciary in order to establish a basic and enforceable code of conduct for the good of society. Morality on the other hand refers to an informal framework of values, principles, beliefs, customs, and ways of living. Morals are not legally enforceable but there is societal pressure to abide by the same. Relationship between law and morality Law and Morality are two systems that govern the way humans behave. Law is a body of rules and regulations that all people are mandatorily obligated to adhere to. Morals, on the other hand, refer

                   Juvenile crimes in India   Introduction Juvenile criminality is a dismal reality in India. A juvenile is a youngster who has not yet reached the age when they can be held responsible for their illegal conduct in the same way that an adult can. The term juvenile is used to describe a young criminal offender. As a result, a juvenile is a youngster who has been accused of engaging in illegal acts or omissions and has been designated as such under criminal laws. Juveniles have recently been implicated in the most heinous crimes, including murder and gang rape. Although the roots of criminal behaviour in children are complex, certain children's delinquency is fairly predictable early in their lives.   Juvenile crime : an analysis  Child crime is regarded as a juvenile offence in India. Child crimes are delinquent activities performed by minors under the age of a certain age. The dilemma of who should be referred to as a child, on the other hand, arises. Is there an ag

  Judicial process Judicial process is the means through which justice is to be administered and in this process the judges act as an instrument to attain this goal, wherein the judges are expected to nave knowledge- of facts involved and of the law that would apply to the said facts. But the decision arrived at by a judge involves multiple factors in addition to just the logical application or the rule of law to the facts Justice Cardozo's lectures published in a set titled "Nature of Judicial Process" are extremely relevant for this discussion since he mentions the heft responsibility of the judicial rv in the judicial process and in doing so he throws light on the sources that guide a judge and contribute to the final decision arrived at in any given case He first of all imputes on judges to decide cases bv emplovine an objective standard. all the while remaining within the prescribed precincts of the relevant law.

        POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) POCSO or Protection of Children from Sexual Offences was formed in 2012 to provide children with protection from the offences of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and pornography.  POCSO or Protection of Children from Sexual Offences also works for safeguarding the interests of a child at every stage of judicial process by incorporating child – friendly mechanisms for reporting, recording of evidence, investigation and speedy trial. The best part about this law is that it is gender neutral. The Indian Penal code does not recognize sexual assault on boys but this act does. It also defines different forms of sexual abuse, including penetrative sexual assault, non - penetrative assault, sexual harassment, pornography, aggravated assault.  Penetrative Sexual Assault  A person is said to commit "penetrative sexual assault" if - he penetrates his penis, to any extent, into the vagina, mouth, urethra or anus of a child or

                       Mistake as to identity Assumption of false identity Mistake as to identity occurs where one of the parties represents himself to be some person other than he really is. Thus, for example, in Jaggan nath versus Secy of state for India: A person, called S, a brother of the plaintiff represented himself as plaintiff and thereby induced a government Agent to contract with him. The Court, finding that the government’s agent was deceived by the conduct of the plaintiff and his brother as to the person with whom he was dealing, held that there was no valid contract. The defendant’s agent intended to contract only with S’s brother and not with S and S knew this.  In the above case, the government’s offer was meant for S and his brother posing as S accepted it. This prevented real consent. It means that an offer which is meant for one person cannot be accepted by another. Mistake caused by takeover of business  In England there is a long line of cases on the subject. In B

      Forests are one of the precious resources that nature provides. The whole ecosystem is dependent on the forests as they are an important part of natural habitat. So, it should be our prime duty to preserve them and not harm the cycle of our nature. But the forests of our nature are being cut at an alarming rate. People have become so greedy that they have started clearing the entire forests. Therefore, to stop this rapid deforestation the Central government enacted the Forest Conservation Act, 1980.     The first legal draft on this issue was the Indian Forest Act, 1865. Later, it was replaced by the Indian Forest Act, 1927 during the colonial period. Whenever any law gets passed, it carries the hope that it will address the social issue for which it was passed. When the Indian Forest Act, 1927 was passed, it carried the same hope but it was solely confined to British interests.  The main focus of the Act of 1927 was on timber. The Act of 1927 was divided into the 13 chapters and
