Cyber Crimes Against Women

  Cyber Crimes against Women - Instances, Inconsistencies in Law and Remedies Proposed ABSTRACT The digital age is advancing at a livid pace. It is a rare sight nowadays to see anyone without carrying a mobile phone or using any such electronic device almost on a daily basis. However, it is a matter of growing concern that the cyber space is becoming a particularly desolate and venomous area for a large number of users, more particularly women. It is, thus, most ironic that the digital domain, considered to the most secure and theft-proof depository of confidential information has been targeted by, violated and compromised by perverse elements more than any other medium. In this paper, I tend to scrutinize the various methods through which cyber criminals operate with a particular objective to outrage, demean and libel the modesty of women, and/or, try to infiltrate their financially or socially confidential credentials. Furthermore, I would try to elucidate a handful of measures t...

Charter of 1833

 CHARTER OF 1833 NAME-ARVIND S COLLEGE-SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE IN LAW, CHENNAI UNIVERSITY-THE TAMILNADU DR. AMBEDKAR LAW UNIVERSITY DATE-3 RD JULY 2022 The charter Act of 1833 played a vital role in the consolidation and codification of Indian laws. Factors for the enactment of this Act: 1. The company acquired many territories in India. The need for a strong Central Government was felt for the effective administration of such vast empire. 2. There was no uniform law. Each Presidency Town formed their own legislations and laws. So need for an All India Legislature to make laws and a regulation for the territories under the control of the company was felt necessary. 3. Lord Macaulay, the Secretary to the Board of control directed the attention of the Parliament to various vices in the process of Indian Government. So parliament advocated immediate transfer power to the crown. But as Macaulay insisted on reforming the defects, as no time to think about transfer of power. So, with the ob...

 MINTO-MORLEY REFORMS 1909 NAME-ARVIND S COLLEGE-SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE IN LAW, CHENNAI UNIVERSITY-THE TAMILNADU DR. AMBEDKAR LAW UNIVERSITY DATE-3 RD JULY 2022 The Indian Councils Act 1892, failed to satisfy the Indian people. It left little scope for the popular representation in the Councils. The political situation in India led the British authorities to think of introducing constitutional reforms with a view to secure the support of moderates in the Indian National Congress. Mr. Gopal Krishna Gokhale, the chief leader of the moderate section in the Congress went to England met the Secretary of State for India, Lord John Morley and tried to convince him of the urgency of the constitutional reforms. Lord Morley was sympathetic to the views of Gokhale. Lord Minto, the Viceroy of India, was also in favor of introducing Constitutional reforms. The Committee appointed by Lord Minto, submitted its report in October 1906. A Bill was prepared on this basis of that report. In 1909, the Br...

Dowry & Environmental law

 Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 Name: Apoorva Sinha College: Amity University Chhattisgarh Dowry Prohibition Act, Indian law, enacted on May 1, 1961, intended to prevent the giving or receiving of a dowry. Under the Dowry Prohibition Act, dowry includes property, goods, or money given by either party to the marriage, by the parents of either party, or by anyone else in connection with the marriage. The Dowry Prohibition Act applies to persons of all religions in India. The original text of the Dowry Prohibition Act was widely judged to be ineffective in curbing the practice of dowry. Moreover, specific forms of violence against women continued to be linked to a failure to meet dowry demands. As a result, the legislation underwent subsequent amendment. In 1984, for example, it was changed to specify that presents given to a bride or a groom at the time of a wedding are allowed. The law required, however, that a list be maintained describing each gift, its value, the identity of the per...
