Abstract Every year on June 5th, World Environment Day is commemorated to keep reminding people of the value of nature. The day has been observed all around the globe to remind folks that the environment must not be taken as a given and that its virtues must be protected. The biggest existential threat to humanity and quasi-nature is environmental conservation, which is the defining social progress challenge of the twenty-first century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has produced five evaluations, all of which have verified our greatest fears: namely human emissions are indeed the primary cause of observed global climate change. Climate change is distinct from other environmental issues in that it poses an immediate and perhaps irreversible threat to human cultures as well as the globe. As a result, environmental protection, policies, and laws are critical for sustaining and improving societal well-being now and in the future. Environmentalism, social equity, and sustainable growth must all be considered and achieved within the paradigm. Environmentalism must be linked to economic and development decisions, and social justice and economic viability must be integrated into environmental protection decisions. This paper makes an effort to increase awareness well about the vulnerability of the environment in which we already live, which can only be properly protected if people’s choices and desire to participate in its conservation grows. Everyone in the country should respect and recognise the numerous policies and regulations enacted to protect the environment, as well as commit to carrying out the Constitutional duty.

Abstract The disputes are bound to happen in any established legal mechanism. The Indian jurisprudence not only recognized justice as a matter of right to litigants but also recognize access to justice as well. The 2019 Consumer Protection Act is an act of the Indian Parliament. The 1986 Consumer Protection Act is replaced by this Act. By establishing authorities for the efficient, prompt, and appropriate administration and resolution of consumer disputes and other consumer-related matters, this revised Act aids in protecting the interests of consumers. With the passage of this Act, the customer was supposed to rule in a free market. The phrase "caveat amptor"—which originally meant "let the buyer beware"—has been replaced with "caveat venditor," which means "let the vendor beware." This Act is obviously focused on giving the consumer greater power by increasing openness. The Consumer Protection Act calls for the creation of consumer dispute redressal commissions because of increased competition and the temptation to engage in unethical, exploitative, and unfair business practices like selling faulty and unsafe products, adulterating products, and running false or misleading advertisements in an effort to increase sales and market share (CDRC).In the light of above stated backdrop, the paper is an attempt to analyses the various modes of redressal mechanism under the Act, and to highlight various legislative and policy gaps and suggest the suitable measures for the same.

Abstract “Instant Triple Talaq” refers to the practice of irrevocably divorcing a wife by pronouncing “talaq” three times consecutively, regardless of the iddat. Under this form of talaq, once a definitive separation occurs, the parties cannot remarry without undergoing Halala and then being divorced from him. This practice has been criticized as arbitrary, discriminatory, and oppressive to Muslim women. While recognized but disapproved among Hanafi schools, it lacks sanction from the Holy Qur’an or approval from the Prophet. In this paper, the author attempt to deal with various divorce modes in Muslim law and examines the Supreme Court’s judgment in Shayara Bano v. Union of India , which invalidated triple talaq. Additionally, it analyzes The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, assessing impact on empowering Muslim women and fostering marital harmony while suggesting alternative remedies to prevent triple divorce and protect women’s rights KeyWords : Keywords: -Personal Law, Muslim Women, Triple Talaq, MarriageView Full Paper
