Why the DU Photocopying Case could prove to be a wrong precedent?

Copyright as an intellectual property right protection is the right granted solely to the architect of any creative work. Since it does not require registration in India, it is granted simply when the origination of the copyright takes place. However, there are certain exceptions to copyright infringement in India based on either fair dealing and other specific activities mentioned in the Copyright Act. The author looks at a recent interpretation of one of these exceptions and how its broad interpretation can be harmful for copyright law in general.
The Division Bench of the Delhi High Court in December 2016 dealt with a rather interesting case that sparked a lot of controversy, owing to the magnanimous number of stakeholders involved, which were, the students of Delhi University. The issue pertained to ‘course packs’ distributed to students by a photocopying centre. These ‘course packs’ would be created as a collection of photocopies of portions of books as required by the students for the syllabus.
The precedent set in the judgement would change the entire concept of educational books and authorship in years to come and with the rise of the digital era, would change how the education system works with respect to educational resources.

Administrative Theories: Comparison between Classical and Scientific Management Theory

There is growing gap between the fundamental thoughts of early management authors and current, mostly subordinate authors, accounts of how these pioneers developed their ideas among modern scholars and students. This deficiency can be rectified by searching for original sources from when the idea of an innovator were being articulated, and the context from which it took place. In this paper I discuss how the definition of management has changed over time and how scholars have moved away from the classical management of work towards Scientific management theory. In this paper have also discussed how these two management theory have furthered knowledge of the history of management by finding and translating pioneering writings, and a present a rare translation of these theories. A special focus has been given to Henry Fayols 14 point principle and how they have changed the course of management overtime. I have comprehensively critically analysed each and every aspect of management theories and ultimately given key differences between both the theories.

Access to Justice: “Through Lok Adalat Issues and Challenges”

The legal services authority act, 1987 came into force throughout the country w.e.f. 09-11- 1995. Thereafter Delhi State Legal Services Authority came in to force in 2002 which covers 11 district legal services authority establish under section 9 legal service authority act 1987.1 Access to justice, in its widest sense of the effective resolution of disputes whether through court – based litigation or alternative dispute resolution processes, is an essential aspect of ensuring the realization of the fundamental rights recognized and given protection by the constitution. The courts run on very formal processes and are presided by trained adjudicators. The concept of Lok Adalat was a new chapter in a process of elimination of delayed justice resulted in denial of justice. This System of Lok Adalat is based on Gandhi an principle. Article 39 A of Constitution of India provides for equal justice and free legal aid. It is, therefore clear that the state has been ordained to secure a legal system, which promotes justice on the basis of equal opportunity. The language of Article-39A is understood in mandatory terms. This is made more than clear by the use of the word “Shall” in Art-39A.
In Lok Adalat, disputes are not only settled but also the cordial relations between the parties are retained as disputes are resolved amicably. Hence, it is a very healthy way of dispute resolution.
Lok Adalat play a very critical role to encourage and strengthen “Equal access to justice”, the heart of the constitution of India, a reality. Maximum number of Lok Adalat are been organized to achieve the Gandhi an Principle of Gram Swaraj and “access to justice for all”.
