The Quarterly Flagship Journal of NUJS

About us

The NUJS Law Review is the flagship journal of the National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata. It was launched in 2008 as a quarterly law review and is run by a Board of Editors comprising of six Editors, who report to the Editor-in-Chief being the Vice Chancellor. Being a brainchild of the first Editor-in-Chief, Professor Mahendra P. Singh, the Law Review was launched as a realization of the fact that Universities, especially law universities, have responsibilities towards the society in which they exist and must be a source of information and guidance for the same. It has so far attracted a large number of contributions from students and academics from India and abroad. The NUJS Law Review promotes and endeavours to foster a culture of serious academic research and writing amongst the students through a structured process of mentoring and supervision. It has an in-house writing and editing team of twenty-four Associate Members, comprising of students from the first year to the fifth year. The Editors undertake the task of mentoring Associate Members in honing their legal writing skills and preparing them as prospective editors. The NUJS Law Review also organizes the Annual NUJS Law Review Symposium seeking to address issues of contemporary relevance.

  • We are delighted to share that Prof. Dr. iur. Ulrich Schroeter has kindly contributed to Volume 17, Issue 2 of the NUJS Law Review! It is Dr Schroeter’s first contribution to an entirely student-run law journal in the Indian subcontinent. He is a Professor of Private Law at the University of Basel. He teaches and researches Swiss, German and European law of obligations (contract law), national and international commercial law, arbitration law, international contract law and financial market law. His research is regularly cited and relied on by courts worldwide, including in Australia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Switzerland and the United States of America, as well as by Advocates General at the European Court of Justice. The chapter discusses the role of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (‘CISG’) in influencing or “setting standards” for other commercial law conventions. Dr. Schroeter looks at this question from multiple perspectives. He considers CISG’s Articles on interpretation, applicability, ‘gap-filing’, rights and obligations of parties, among others, being adopted by conventions. His verdict on the influence of the CISG differs for each Part of the convention. He also discusses why he believes the CISG has attained such a “standard-setting” role. Continuing from this discussion, he debates whether the CISG, quite contrarily, may be an obstacle to the further unification of international commercial law. He recommends that this unification should be furthered by interpreting the CISG and supplementary conventions (possibly) but preserving its status as “the core international commercial law convention”. We thank him for his contribution to the NUJS Law Review. The entire piece can be accessed https://lnkd.in/gpxQmMau.

    We are thrilled to share that an article from the NUJS Law Review has been cited by the Supreme Court of India in its Handbook on Persons with Disabilities. This handbook serves as an essential resource for judges and legal professionals, addressing critical issues related to disability rights and providing a legal framework for fair adjudication. It also features a glossary of terms that perpetuate stereotypes, alongside inclusive alternatives. The cited article, “Undue Burden under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016: In Search of a Definitive Legal Standard,” authored by Rahul Bajaj, Ishika Garg, and Ahsnat Mokarim, was published in Volume 16(3) of the journal. You can read the full article here https://lnkd.in/gcvdQhvy. This article discusses the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act and the principle of reasonable accommodation that is enshrined in the statute as modeled after Article 2 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In the past, the scholarship from the NUJS Law Review has been cited by the e-Committee of the Supreme Court of India in the module titled ‘Sensitisation Module for the Judiciary on LGBTQIA+ Community’. We take immense pride in congratulating the authors for contributing to the module. We wish to thank our readers, contributors, and all other stakeholders for their continued support and faith, as well as our Editor-in-Chief, Vice-Chancellor Professor (Dr.) N. K. Chakrabarti, for his guidance.

  • We are delighted to share the fifth article of Volume 17(1) of the NUJS Law Review. ‘MEDIEVAL’ LAW IN ‘MODERN’ TECH: BAILMENT AND INDIAN CRYPTO EXCHANGES by Rohan Karan Mehta In this article, the author contextualises the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies to an equivalent rising need for establishing regulatory frameworks with respect to their operation. The author refers to growing developments both within and beyond Indian jurisdiction that create an environment suitable for such framework establishment. Based on this, the author focuses his analysis to a specific lacunae in the law, the extant relationship between crypto-exchanges and users, especially when the former goes insolvent. Viewing this from the perspective of common law of contract, they characterize such feature to act as bailment as opposed to other forms suggested by authors across jurisdictions. Attributing such classification benefits them in arriving at solutions during insolvency matters, as mentioned above, thereby furthering the Indian regulatory ambit over virtual digital assets.

  • We are delighted to share the fourth article of Volume 17(1) of the NUJS Law Review. SUPERLEAGUE AND INTERNATIONAL SKATING UNION: LESSONS FOR INDIAN COMPETITION LAW by Debayan Bhattacharya. In this note, the author, a fourth-year law student at National Law University, Delhi, discusses key takeaways and imports that the Indian competition jurisprudence can learn from two decisive decisions in the European legal landscape. The author advocates for a more rigorous approach to determining legitimate regulatory objectives while arguing for a shift from the normative interpretation currently adopted by CCI in assessing player bans. The author, instead, seeks to draw inspiration from International Skating Union v. ISU, arguing for a tier-based approach and seeking to balance regulator interests vis a vis the proportionality of such bans and player interests. The author relies on European Superleague Company v. UEFA to assert and further criticize the CCI's stand in several matters and engage in the discourse surrounding terms such as 'Destructive Competition' and 'instilling discipline' as justifications for the uncompetitive nature of regulatory bodies in India. Lastly, the author seeks to subject the ambiguous nature of CCI's decision to scrutiny regarding commercial viability as grounds for uncompetitive actions and restrictions by regulatory bodies.

  • We are delighted to share the third article for Volume 17(1) of the NUJS Law Review. AIRLINE INSOLVENCY IN INDIA : BALANCING INTERESTS BETWEEN THE INSOLVENCY AND BANKRUPTCY CODE AND THE CAPE TOWN CONVENTION by Thejas Velaga & Aastha Gupta. This timely article examines the conflict between India's Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code ('IBC') and the Cape Town Convention ('CTC') in the context of airline insolvencies, highlighted by the recent Go First Airlines case. The authors argue that while implementing the CTC is crucial, it is not a panacea for all issues plaguing aircraft repossession during insolvency. The paper critically analyses the government's recent notification exempting aircraft leases from the IBC moratorium and proposes an innovative "Alternative C" approach, inspired by the Luxembourg Protocol to the CTC. This balanced solution aims to protect both national interests in airline revival and lessors' rights to repossession. The authors emphasise the need for a thoughtful, practical approach that considers India's unique aviation landscape, suggesting modifications to the CTC Bill and improvements in the regulatory framework for aircraft deregistration.

  • We are delighted to share the second article of Volume 17(1) of the NUJS Law Review. THE INCONSISTENT ADJUDICATION OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS' LIABILITY AND ITS IMPACT ON THEIR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES by Divya Sethuraman & Priyanshi Kothari This article examines the interpretive positions adopted by SEBI and SAT regarding independent directors' liability under §149(12) of the Companies Act, 2013. The authors identify two conflicting trends: one, the misapplied "day-to-day functioning" test, which incorrectly assumes independent directors should participate in daily company operations; and two, a more nuanced approach considering the independent director's unique role and the diligence requirement mandated by §149(12).The paper argues that the first trend muddles the already unclear landscape of independent directors' roles and responsibilities. It advocates for the second approach, which aligns with legislative intent and recent regulatory developments.The authors make a crucial contribution by highlighting how inconsistent judicial interpretation exacerbates existing legislative ambiguities. They propose that adjudicative bodies move away from the day-to-day functioning test and instead conduct a thorough analysis of independent directors' diligence in discharging their duties.
