It analyzes current laws, policies, programs, and judicial pronouncements, organizing events and discussions. The Centre focuses on indigenous Indian society values and constitutional principles, studying socio-economic changes, family systems, and societal gaps to improve peace and development.
About The Conference:
The Centre for Comparative Study in Personal Laws is partnering with the Indian Council for Social Sciences Research (ICSSR) to conduct a Major Research Project on the challenges faced by India’s current judicial system. The project, titled “Indigenous Mechanism for Dispensation of Justice in India: An Analytical and Comparative Study with UK and China,” aims to analyze the administration of justice in India and the factors contributing to the accumulation of arrears in courts. The National Conference aligns with the project, aiming to analyze why the current justice dispensation system in India is not yielding desired results despite systemic improvements. The conference will address questions such as whether the current system is appropriate for the diverse culture, history, needs, and aspirations of Indian people, and whether there is a need to overhaul the overall judicial system.
