The article provides a doctrinal analysis of the „moral rights“ jurisprudence that started with the Amar Nath Sehgal v Union of India (2005) case and was recently propounded upon in the Raj Rewal v Union of India (2019) judgment of the Delhi High Court. The article argues that the court’s omission in Sehgal to deal with the consequence of „moral rights“ on property rights has allowed subsequent benches to dilute the original doctrine

A recent order of the ITAT refocusses attention to the need for India to update its tax treaties and ensure that income from the digital economy is more equitably taxable in countries of residence and source. The case also highlights the problems with the way the revenue department responds to important judgments of appellate courts and how it pleads cases before tribunals.
This paper examines the interplay between these two Sections, analysing their scopes, overlaps and procedural distinctions Section 9 allows parties to approach the judiciary for interim relief, thus ensuring the preservation of rights and status quo until arbitration concludes.

The advent of AI has globally taken the art industry by storm. It has raised concerns surrounding IPR. This has led to unease around possibilities of AI using copyrighted works without authorization. The copyright laws in India are governed by The Copyright Act of 1957. The limited scope of Indian copyright laws has been slightly widened by the 1994 amendment, which recognised computer generated artworks as copyrightable. However, questions around authorship and rights arising thereof remain under ambiguity. This scenario has highlighted a lacunae in the Indian copyright system.

The interplay between the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 has been a subject of legal ambiguity, particularly regarding the enforceability of arbitration agreements in unstamped or insufficiently stamped contracts. The Supreme Court’s recent decision in In Re: Interplay Between Arbitration Agreements under the Arbitration And Conciliation Act 1996 And The Indian Stamp Act 1899 has provided clarity by harmonizing these statutes. The Court ruled that non-stamping does not render arbitration agreements void ab initio but only inadmissible as evidence until stamp duty is cured, ensuring such defects are curable under law.
Globalisation has resulted in an increased interdependence in the economies of countries worldwide. Such interdependence has left the smaller economies at the behest of leading powers at organisations such as the WTO, which were otherwise aimed at creating a level playing field. A clear global North-South divide renders LDCs and the South in general, at a disadvantage in any transactions that follow from WTO regimes. India has yet to establish a strong foothold as an emerging global power at the WTO, with the US currently slow-strangling the organisation.
The Right of Persons with Disability Act (RPwD Act, 2016) was enacted in 2016 to give effect to
the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). It repealed
the earlier legislation, Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and
Full Participation) Act, 1995. India’s disability law stands as a beacon of progress, embracing a
broad and inclusive perspective on disability. It boldly places responsibilities on both public and
private sectors, reflecting a commitment to equality. Yet, nearly eight years since its enactment, the law’s promise remains largely unfulfilled, hindered by slow and uneven implementation.
