The President has the authority to revoke several articles of the Indian Constitution that protect citizens’ fundamental rights on the advice of the Cabinet. Articles 352 through 360 of Part XVIII of the Indian Constitution comprises emergency provisions. The provisions allow the Centre to deal with any extraordinary event effectively. The rationale behind its incorporation is to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty, unity, integrity, security, democratic, political structure, and constitution. The Central Government will be in absolute power during the emergency, and the States will be under federal control. One of the main features of the Indian Constitution is how the ordinary federal constitution is adapted to emergencies. To the Constitution’s credit, it visualized a situation in which the rigid application of federal principles could destroy the fundamental premises on which it was built. The Indian Constitution is a way of adapting the normal Federal Constitution to emergencies. To the Constitution’s credit, it visualized a situation in which the concrete application of federal rules could destroy the fundamental assumptions upon which it is set. When India declares a state of emergency, the country’s federal system is transformed into a unified one, with all powers with the Central Government.","PeriodicalId":260986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law and Social Sciences","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139868727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There can be no justice if there is no remedy (Ubi jus ibi remedium). The term “compensation” refers to making amendments for a loss. Crime is more than simply a breach of the law; it also causes harm to victims and their families, including economic loss, emotional distress, and bodily, psychological, or intellectual injury. Crime has a wide variety of consequences for victims and their families, ranging from major injuries to minor disruptions. The concept of victims’ compensation is a well-established legal principle that is implemented within the framework of traditional civil courts. The court’s adoption of compensatory jurisprudence, guided by the principles of human rights philosophy, serves as a positive indication of its commitment to safeguarding the fundamental rights to life and personal liberty for all individuals, even in situations when there is a lack of explicit Constitutional provisions or established legal precedents. There is evidence that some groups of victims of crime were reimbursed, either by the perpetrator, their relatives, or the sovereign, even in ancient times. The right to compensate is a relatively new addition to Indian Constitutional law. This notion just began to gain traction in India under Constitutional law in the late 1980s. This was an innovative notion devised by the Indian Judiciary to ensure justice. Compensation is often granted based on the claimant’s entitlement. Modern justice is more concerned with delivering assistance to victims than with the requirements of legal principles. The right to compensation for violations of basic rights comes from the rights that were infringed, which shall be further addressed in the research.","PeriodicalId":260986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law and Social Sciences","volume":"63 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139870015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cases of Medical Negligence happen when healthcare practitioners like doctors, and nurses, or when any hospital deviates from its standard duty of care, the consequence of which results in harm and injury to a patient. Due to the failure of medical professionals to exercise due care, individuals and their families may pursue recompense for the injuries suffered as a result of the misconduct and negligence exhibited by doctors, nurses, or other healthcare practitioners. The disputes related to medical negligence are generally settled by the traditional justice system i.e., Litigation which involves appearing before the Hon’ble Court and having a Judge decide on a particular dispute in question. In light of the protracted and costly nature of our nation’s legal system, which often yields results that may not meet the parties’ desired outcomes, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, including arbitration and mediation, have emerged as prominent approaches for resolving medical malpractice disputes involving healthcare practitioners. These ADR procedures are currently considered as feasible alternatives to the extended and expensive litigation procedure. ADR mechanism enables disputing parties to let them resolve their disagreements outside the court in a more cooperative as well as efficient manner. A mediator is a neutral third party that encourages conversation between opposing parties and eventually assists them in reaching an equitable settlement agreed upon by both disputing parties. In contrast, a neutral third person, known as an arbitrator, participates in the arbitration court and listens to the evidence of the parties engaged in the dispute before making a binding judgment on the case’s conclusion.","PeriodicalId":260986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law and Social Sciences","volume":"9 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139869514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incident concludes the impact of sportsman’s words and gestures on the commercial market. Athletes are the most celebrated and internationally recognised and adored personalities, so the need for their freedom to express themselves ought to be paramount. The need to provide them with the right to voice their political opinion is substantially important and their narrative on politics can influence hordes of people following them. Subject to the same concern, one might have wondered and showed ire on one’s favourite sportsman for not being vocal about some country’s integrity issues. This happens because the Board regulating sports does not want them to be voiced over issues having political interests. This is done to ensure fair judgement by the people instead of being blind followers of the ideology of their favourite sportsman. ,p>So, does it mean that your favourite sportsman has waived off their freedom of speech?
