The objective of the study is to know the extent and scope of “any right” debarred, which was procured by the transferor in respect of the “property” and what kinds of property can be covered within this section and what is the meaning of “taken or continued in possession” of the property. The provision provides a statutory right to the transferee against any right of the transferor to defend his possession over the property, either taken possession or right in continuance of the possession, the scope of which is discussed in this PSDA. The Theory of Part Performance is an equitable doctrine that is included to avoid fraud and illicit advantage based on the document's non-registration.

Right to Asylum and Citizenship : A Study of asylum cases during the India

  Right to Asylum and Citizenship : A Study of asylum cases during the India  A contemporary democracy's health and stability are determined not only by the fairness of its basic framework, but also by the traits and attitudes of its citizens. Democracy as a way of life is based on active consent and participation, but it is worth noting that citizenship is allocated based on passive criteria of belonging, such as birth on a piece of land, known as jus soli, and ethnic belonging to a group of people, known as jus sanguinis (Benhabib 1999). The advent of new kinds of identity and difference politics characterises the modern global scene. As globalisation and fragmentation have progressed, so has the clash between human rights and sovereignty claims. On the one hand, there is a rising global awareness of universal human rights concepts; on the other hand, particularistic identities of nationality, ethnicity, religion, race, and language, as well as a claim to sovereignty, are asserte

 ONE NATION, ONE LAW: THE UCC CONTROVERSY INTRODUCTION On 28th March 2021, India woke up with the news of CJI Bobde inaugurating the new high court in Porvorim, Goa. He said, “I've had the great privilege of administering justice under Uniform Civil Code. It applies in marriage and succession, governing all Goans irrespective of religious affiliations. I have heard a lot of academics talk about the uniform civil code. I would request all those intellectuals to simply come here and watch the administration of justice to know what it turns out to be.” UCC: BRINGING ABOUT A SOCIAL REVOLUTION 1.
