Custodial death refers to death of the accused in the police custody or by the encounter of the accused by the public servants such as police officials, even without the orders of the court. The useless torture made by the officials to accused even without knowing that whether they are really accused or not. Why such encounters are being made? For the promotion in department?, for getting name, fame and pictures in the front pages of the newspapers?, or for getting extra-money? Now the question arises that how the police officials get extra money? Sometimes they know that person arrested is actually the accused, but the representatives (friends, family or relatives) of the accused bribe the officials to release the actual person and arrest some other person. There is strict need of law to curb this problem. The Prevention Against Torture Bill, 2017 is still pending in the parliament and is waiting to be called as act. Also a movie named “Jolly LL.B 2”depecits the same the scene, that how the police officials release the actual accused and arrest some other person, and latter on his back the official shoots him; why this happened? It was because the officer was bribed. We should just keep one thing in mind that if the situation didn’t came in control, then the whole system will be corrupt, as all such termite like people will eat the system.

Besides the definite cost advantage, the presences of a well-trained and English speaking work force, a mix of modern and indigenous systems of medicine, and super specialty centers which boast of the best technologies available in the world are some of the factors in favor of India.

We live in a chaotic world and this fact doesn’t change when we actually give it a true look across the globe. Since the beginning of 20th century we have been witnessing wars in different ways one could have never imagined. From Nuclear weapons to Cold War, from persecution to people fleeing their homes, the world has witnessed it all. We, Human beings have always let ourselves down. We gave ourselves the Human Rights and we are the ones who are the sole violators of the same. We make laws and then we break and mold them as per our own wishes. During all this making and breaking of laws, it is the people who suffer the most. One of the worst possible scenarios that has been happening through these centuries is the people have been rendered homeless owing to wars happening inside and outside the countries all these years. The term which has been widely used to identify people who have fled to different countries as a result of these wars and the fear of being persecuted in their home country is “Refugee”. International Law has a very long history of development but when it comes to the identification of Refugees, this area is relatively new and was not even considered until the World War II. Now that we have several instruments that pertain to the people who have fled their homes and are regarded as Migrants, Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons, etc., many countries have signed them and provided protection and rights to the concerned. India, on the other hand has been always termed as one of the best countries known for its hospitality but when it comes to Refugee laws, it has refrained from signing the Convention on refugees and it also does not have its own national Law for Refugees. This research paper intends to comprehend why India has not signed the Refugee Convention of 1951 and why it needs a proper Refugee Law of its own.

It is expected by 2026 that the Halal travel sector’s proportion to the global economy is made up of 35% representing around US$ 300 Billion and 10% of tourists worldwide. While various studies suggest that countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Morocco, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates amongst others are portrayed as the top Halal tourist destinations, no research has been conducted on the potential of Mauritius for Halal tourism.
