For over 150 years, this law stood as a sentinel, often accused of stifling dissent under the guise of protecting the state. However, with the dawn of India’s new criminal justice era marked by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the word “sedition” has officially vanished from the statute […] - [Uttarakhand UCC 2024: A Step Toward Gender Justice or an Intrusion into Personal Liberty?](https://legalwhizz.com/uttarakhand-ucc-2024-gender-justice-vs-personal/): Author: Sanjana Kumari Revised & Edited: Editor Legal Whizz Topic: Constitutional Law / Civil Rights / Gender Justice Reading Time: 12 Minutes Introduction: The “One Nation, One Law” Debate “One Nation, One Law”—a phrase that has resonated through the corridors of the Indian Parliament for decades, has finally found a concrete home in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand.

The doctrine dictates that to ensure judicial stability and consistency, there must be strict adherence to judicial precedents.

These articles provide constitutional sanctity to the doctrine of precedent. This article lays down the detailed theoretical underpinnings of the doctrine, distinguishing between the binding ratio decidendi and the non-binding obiter dicta.

[Legal Analysis]](https://legalwhizz.com/freedom-of-religion-gender-equality-india/): By: Sameeksha Puthran | Final Year LL.B Student “I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.” The Indian Constitution has granted women the same fundamental and constitutional rights as men, including the right to equality, the right against discrimination, the right to worship, and many others.

Often described as the heartbeat of democracy, it empowers citizens to speak without fear, question the government, and dissent against the majority. However, this liberty is not unbridled. By: Rudra Pratap Singh The framers of the Indian Constitution, having witnessed the suppression of voice during colonial rule, enshrined Article 19(1)(a) as a fundamental right. Yet, they were equally cognizant that speech, if weaponized, could jeopardize the unity, integrity, and peace of a diverse nation. Thus, the right to free speech walks a tightrope alongside Article 19(2), […] - [Grounds of Divorce under Hindu Marriage Act 1955: Section 13 Analysis](https://legalwhizz.com/grounds-of-divorce-hindu-marriage-act-section-13/): The institution of marriage holds a significant, almost sacramental place in Indian society.

A Constitutional Analysis](https://legalwhizz.com/administrative-order-article-13-constitutional/): By Pronnati Rajasvi In the realm of Indian Constitutional law, the definition of “Law” is the gateway to justice. If an action by the state does not qualify as “Law,” it cannot be challenged for violating Fundamental Rights under Article 13. A common question that arises for law students and practitioners alike is: Do Administrative Orders fall under the ambit of Article 13(3)(a)? To answer this, we must dissect the nature of administrative orders, the text of the Constitution, and landmark judicial interpretations. 1. Understanding the Administrative Order An “order” is essentially a directive to do or abstain from doing […] - [Corporate Governance in India: Lessons from Corporate Scandals](https://legalwhizz.com/corporate-governance-ethics-lessons-india/): The Nexus Between Corporate Governance and Ethics WRITTEN BY:NIBEDITA BEHERA  Corporate governance and business ethics are not mutually exclusive concepts; rather, they work in close synergy to influence how Indian companies operate, govern, and make critical decisions.
