ABOUT THE COURSE:
Income Tax holds its importance because it is one of the major sources of revenue for the
government, and hence tends to support the running of our government. Thus, it helps meet the
funds required to raise the infrastructure and develop the country.
The legislative framework and judicial pronouncements on the tax laws are constantly evolving
along with globalization, economic shifts, and different operational adjustments. The tax laws of
the country undergo significant changes every year on the passing of Annual Finance Act. Apart
from the amendments coming out every year through the Finance Act, various
circulars/notifications/clarifications are also issued by the regulating bodies, i.e., Central Board of
Direct Tax (CBDT) and Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) for implement the
different provisions of the Act and further clarifying the scope of some provisions.
The Income Tax Act, 1961 provides for levy, administration, collection and recovery of income
tax. It further provides progressive rate schedule, exemption limits, and incorporates number of
incentive provisions.
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The objective of the course is as follows:
1. To understand the basic concepts of principles of taxation law.
2. To assess the income tax liability of individual.

ABOUT THE COURSE:
Personal safety, particularly security of life, liberty, property and reputation, is of paramount
importance to every individual. Maintenance of peace and order is absolutely essential in any
society for human beings to live peacefully and without fear of injury to their lives and property.
This is possible only in states where the penal law is effective and strong enough to deal with the
violations of law. Any state, irrespective of its ideologies and form of government, in order to be
designated as a state, should certainly have an efficient system of penal laws in order to discharge
its primary function of keeping peace in the land by maintaining law and order. The instrument by
which this paramount duty of the government is maintained, is undoubtedly the penal law of the
land.
The primary objective of penal law is to maintain law and order in the society and to protect the
personal safety of the people. It is for this reason that the people place their ultimate reliance on
this branch of law for protection against all injuries that human conduct can inflict on individua ls
and institutions. Due to these reasons, the penal law cannot afford to be weak, ambiguous or
ineffective. Nor can it be harsh and arbitrary in its impact. The application of penal law has to be
uniform regardless of any discrimination on grounds of class, caste, religion, sex or creed etc. of
either the criminal or the victim.
The penal law of India has been codified in the Indian Penal Code and in the Criminal Procedure
Page 23 of 47
Code; the former Code deals specifically with offences and state what matters will afford an excuse
or a defence to a charge of an offence. The Indian Penal Code is the substantive law and the
Criminal Procedure Code, the adjective law. The Indian Penal Code, 1860 is the first point of
reference in the Criminal Courts of India. The aim behind teaching this course is to deal with the
basic principles of criminal law and its associated liability & punishment. This Course is an ideal
guide that covers the structure of the Indian Penal Code. It covers mainly all the important concepts
and cases that are part of the penal laws in India. The Course is divided into six major modules
that manifest the crucial chapters through which we have tried to deliver a better understanding of
the substantial criminal law in India. The Course envelops an in-depth knowledge about the
structure of the Indian Penal Code which includes contents on criminal liability, abetment, offences
against State, body and many more. The interactive structure of the course will make the subject
interesting and the course is designed in such a way that it deliberates every diverse concept of the
substantial criminal law to its crux. The concepts, definitions and explanations have been
simplified to provide a better understanding of the topics covered under the Indian Penal Code.
The course has been designed to impart thorough knowledge about the subject to every student in
a systematic manner which will be helpful in competitive exams.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Crime and Punishment has always been the most important aspect of Rule of Law. A proper
understanding of crimes, methods of controlling them and the reasons for their existence is
extremely important to build a just and humane society. This course is designed with a prime object
to familiarize students with the principles of criminal liability and other concepts of substantive
criminal law along with relevant case laws. It is also meant to enable them to articulate informed
opinion over important controversial issues in criminal law. The main course objectives may
briefly be pin-pointed as:
CO1: To introduce the students to the concept of ‘crime’ and ‘criminal law’ in its theoretical
and social context.
CO2: To familiarize the students with the essential elements of ‘crime’ and ‘principles of
criminal liability’ as envisaged under the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
CO3: To develop a broad understanding of the scheme and specific offences under the IPC;
Page 24 of 47
and,
CO4: To enable the students to critically appreciate the emerging issues in criminal law.
PEDAGOGY:
The teaching methods will include Lectures, PowerPoint Presentations, documentaries, discussion
and debate on various offences under the Indian Penal Code and emerging issues of criminal law.

INTRODUCTION
Law is considered not merely as a trade to be learnt, but as an intellectual pursuit which is to be
understood, questioned, criticized and applied in a pragmatic manner. Therefore, there is a need to
think about the nature and function of law, the legal system and the legal profession. In this context,
the study of jurisprudence is of utmost importance for a good lawyer because it helps to develop
an understanding of law, improves the questioning ability and the capacity to think independently.
The term jurisprudence is derived from the Latin phrase Jurisprudentia which means the study of
law or the knowledge or science of law. It deals with the basic question, “what is law” which is
not only interesting but is also a challenging question to the scholars and academicians alike and
is in fact the central question of the whole discipline of law. Through the ages, different Jurists
have tried to answer this enigmatic question as per the times and their perspective and yet the
answer remains elusive. This paper of Jurisprudence-I attempts to explain “what is law” with the
help of various legal theories and approach of Jurists and examines their practical application in
present times.
The objective of this course is to introduce important ideas of selected jurists so as to help the
students or budding lawyers to think critically and creatively about law and its role in the
contemporary society. This course introduces the four main Schools of Jurisprudence i.e. the
Natural Law School, Analytical Positivist School, Historical School and Sociological School. It
also deals with certain central issues like law and justice, law and morality and realist movement
in order to acquaint the students with the nature of law and its role in contemporary society.

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND PEDAGOGY:

The main objective of this course is to develop among the students an understanding of law and
legal concepts and thus enable them to develop the techniques of analysis, reasoning and logic
which are so vital for legal profession. It would facilitate the students of law to apply the legal
provisions to a particular situation and to think critically and creatively about law and its role in
the contemporary society. Thus, the objectives of this course are:
1. To elucidate and examine the meaning, nature and significance of Jurisprudence which is
often called as ‘the eye of law’ or the ‘grammar of law’.
2. To examine and find out an answer to the basic question “what is law” which is in fact the
central question of the whole field of Jurisprudence and Legal Theory.
3. To introduce important ideas of selected jurists regarding the meaning and nature of Law.
4. To introduce the four main Schools of Jurisprudence i.e. the Natural Law School,
Analytical Positivist School, Historical School and Sociological School as well as the
Realists Movement to enable students to understand the varied meaning and changing
dimensions of nature of law from the perspective of different jurists.
5. To answer the often-asked question by almost every law student, Whether the Theories and
the Schools of Jurisprudence are Relevant and Applicable in Modern Times.
6. To introduce certain central issues like Justice and Morality in order to acquaint the
students with the meaning and significance of these terms and their relevance and practical
application in the field of Law.
7. To acquaint the students regarding the multi-disciplinary nature of law and its role in
contemporary society.
PEDAGOGY:
Jurisprudence teaching requires giving the students of law, an understanding of the various schools
of Jurisprudence and the theories given by different jurists. This is essential so as to enable them
to understand the meaning and nature of Law and the practical application in contemporary society.
Thus, the teaching of Jurisprudence has to include a step by step introduction and unfolding of the
meaning, origin and development of law with the help of various theories. It has to be ‘simple
enough’ so that students understand the subject, and at the same time ‘difficult enough’ so as to
Page 34 of 47
maintain the quality of the subject that is jurisprudence.

Hence, to make the subject interesting, the teaching will include Lectures along with discussions
on various events in contemporary society so as to relate the theories. Students will be encouraged
to participate in the learning process by way of discussions, asking questions, analysis of cases and
debates. The Course will be taught by Lectures, Articles, Relevant Examples and Cases and Group
Discussions.
