Paper- II: (Political Thought)
(Traditions in Western and Indian Political Philosophy)

Course Teacher: Dr. Anita SamaVDr. B. K. Mahakul

Course Objective:

Political thought is that branch ofhuman thought which inquires into the nature, purpose and
goals of political activity. It suggests the methods to be followed for conducting such an
inquiry. It endeavours to prescribe the means and methods of achieving the ideal state and
govemment. It can be described as a philosophic scientific enquiry and a normative-
prescriptive study of the natue and foundations of political activity and behaviour. In other
words, it is a rational quest of reliable knowledge, an attempt at scientific explanation
combined with consideration of normative ideas and prescriptive ideals aimed at improving
the quality of political life.

The course aims at acquainting the undergraduate students wilh the broad intellectual
traditions in Westem and Indian political philosophy that decisively shaped the contours of
political thought. It covers a few representative philosophers chronologically in the history of
ideas and aims to evaluate their philosophy with specific reference to the context in which
particular thinkers lived and the historical factors that shaped their ideas. The interpretation of
these thinkers involves striking a balance between the text and the context, and relates to the
core ideas of each of the thinkers. The students are expected to study the key ideas of the
following westem and lndian political thinkers.

INDIAN CONTRACT ACT. INDIAN PARTNERSHIP
ACT. SALE OF GOODS ACT AND OTHER SPECIFIC CONTRACTS
INTRODUCTION:
.Zs has atready been examined in the last semester through an

intensive study of the general principles of contract, the essence of all commercial
transactions is but regulated by the law of contract. The expansion of commercial
activities at a global market environment makes the understanding of the law of contract
even more critical. Further, a lucid understanding of the fundamental principles of
Specia[ Contracts facilitates not only resolving the disputes arising out of such contracts
but also in the drafting of contractual instruments.
The law of Special Contracts is marked by the peculiar and mostly
predictable legal relationship subsisting between the parties. The frequency ofthese kinds
of transactions in the affairs of men has led to the development of established rules of
prescriptions and prohibitions determining the implications and permissible possibilities
ofthese kinds ofcontractual relations. The fundamental principles ofcontractual relations
continue to apply the special forms of contract unless specifically excluded; as in case of
the rule ofconsideration in case ofcontract ofagency.
The Law of Special Contracts can be classified under two very
broad categories, viz. special contracts of personal relationships and special contracts of
property related transactions. Again contracts relating to property may further be
classified in to two broad categories viz, contracts relating to movable property and
contracts relating to immovable property. New addition to this classical division is the
contracts relating to intellectual property rights appropriation.
Beyond the lndian Contract Act, the law relating to special
contracts covers various transactions such as mortgage, lease, exchange and negotiable
instruments, employment contracts, security contracts, lechnology transfer contracts,
software licensing contracts, service contracts etc. The legal dimensions of some of such
contracts will be more properly and elaborately dealt in subsequent courses such as
employment contracts as part of Labour Law, security contracts as part of Corporate
Laws I and II and Mortgage, License etc. relating to immovable property as part of
Transfer of Property and so on.
As a part the foundational course, the focus here is confined to
the special contracts detailed in the Indian Contract Act, the law of sale of goods and the
law of partnership, negotiable instruments, govemment contracts and infrastructure
contracts and also at the recent developments in the field ofspecial contract.

 OBJECT OF THE COURSE:
The primary goal of this course is to acquaint the students with the basics of Special
Contracts and enable them to grasp the nuances of the contractual transactions involving
these forms ofcontracts. At the conclusion of this course students will be able to analyze
the implications of a contractual arrangement falling under any of the discussed head of
special contracts. They will be able to determine the legality ofthe transactions and also
the rights and duties of the parties thereto. They will also be able to purposefully deal
with the disputes arising out of such contractual arrangements.

OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:

This course is to be taught after the students have been made familiar with the general
principles of contract in which the emphases is on understanding and appreciating the
basic essentials of a valid contract and on the existence of contractual relationship in
various instances. Obviously, a course on special contracts should initiate the students to
different kinds of contracts with emphasis on the intricacies therein. This course also
should provide an insight into the justification for special statutory provisions for certain
kinds ofcontracts.
The main objectives of this course are:
o To leam the fundamental principles underlying these special forms ofcontract'
r To learn the limits ofthe freedom ofthe parties within the prescriptions of law in
relation to the special forms of contract and consequently better appreciate the
impact on the classical theory offreedom ofcontract.
. To appreciate the relationship ofgeneral principles with the special contracts.
o To develop skills oflegal analysis and argument.
o To understand how law allocates for the economic risks involved in commercial
transactions.
o To understand the growing importance of special contracts and to have a
foundational understanding of the new forms special contracts including
technology transfer agreements. e-contracts including software licensing
agreements, infrastructure contracts, government contracts, public private
partnerships etc.
o To emphasize on the drafting skills ofthe students.

In addition, this course will consider how the evolution of these contractual
principles has impacted the changing business environment and also the effect ofthe later
on the former. we would seek to determine the functions of these contractual forms in
societ al evolution and business institutions.

FAMILY LAW - I. SEMESTf,R-II

Course Teachers: Mrs. Neha Sinha

Ig@!8ryIl[gCourse:
Family Law is the branch of law, which touches each and every individual of the society. It
govems an integral part ofthe life ofthe individual.

ln India we have a strange spectacle of personal laws. They owe their diversity to their varied
origin, distinct principles and the bulk of substantive law itself. The personal laws play a vital role in
goveming the conflicting interest of the individuals. In India in personal mafters there is no national
or regional law. Personal law ofa person is not determined by his domicile or his nationality but by
his membership of the community to which he belongs.

Study of Family Law is Unique. It is not like the rest of the civil laws. It lacks uniformity in
application. It covers an enormous area of domestic relations such as marriage, matrimonial remedies,
legitimacy of children, custody, guardianship, adoption, intestate and testamentary succession etc. so
because of compulsion the sheer bulk of Family Law in divided into two as family LawJ and Family
Law ll. Family LawJI deals with laws relating to Hindu Joint family, devolution of ancestral or
-
coparcenary property, succession to separate property ofa Hindu and the Muslim law relating to gifts,
wills and inheritance.

The rules relating to marriage, matrimonial remedies, legitimacy of children, custody,

guardianship, adoption is of immense importance as it involves the sensitive relationship between
individuals in the society.

OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

In India persons belonging to different religious communities live together and each
community have their own personal law. Therefore the courts enforce different personal laws for
different individuals depending on the religion to which he belong.

The Hindus are govemed by the Hindu Law. The Muslims are governed by Muslim Personal
law. The other religious communities have their own Personal Law. Personal law of one religious
community cannot be applied to persons belonging to another religious community.

The course is designed to analyze the presence of different personal laws for different
community to and to discuss in detail the personal laws of Hindus and Muslims.
