JURISPRUDENCE-I
Session: July - November 2023 | Faculty: Prof. Shyam K Kaushik |
|6 Credits|
Class: BA/BBA LLB III SEMESTER
A. INTRODUCTION
Every student of every discipline is a truth seeker, so is every writer. Law is not an
exception to this. Jurisprudence is certainly not! All the writers have described to the
world what they believe is the truth (barring of course pure fiction writers who try to
entertain the readers by telling what they believe is not true). If we listen to them and
we generalize we shall find that their search for truth is in asking three questions. First,
‘What it is’? Second, ‘Why it is’? And third, ‘What may be done with it’? In the
context of law, the first two questions mark the territory of what we call
Jurisprudence/ Legal Theory/ Philosophy of Law. The third question evokes interest
of the legislators and administrators of the law. Legal philosophers mostly grapple
with the first two questions, viz. ‘what is law’ and ‘why there is law’. And, the beauty
is that every philosopher claims that his/her answer to these questions is the right
answer. Thus, we have so many versions of truth about law. Assuming there cannot
be a grading of truth in the sense that one answer is more true than the other,
the conclusion should be that one answer is true and the others are not true. But, that
is a layman’s perspective, not a philosopher’s. From a philosopher’s perspective it is
possible that one answer is true and the other answer is also true. There may be many
true answers to the first two questions. And no answer may be more true than the other
answer. The difficulty, however, is that even the philosophers are so obsessed with
their discovery of truth that they don’t easily accommodate the proclaimed truth of the
other philosophers. Therefore, we have many true versions of ‘what is law’ and ‘why
there is law’ each claiming to be the only right answer to the questions. From the
writings of Plato (and even before him) to the writings of modern thinkers there is a
staggering amount of work done by philosophers in answering just these two
questions.
In a taught course of Jurisprudence the primary objective is to introduce the students
to the real meaning of these questions, to the importance of these questions, and to the
most interesting and thought provoking answers to these questions. The objective is
not to reach at the right answer but to understand the importance of this never ending
journey of discovering the right answer. The objective is to help students take their
first steps in this journey. There is no turning back for those who are fortunate to start
this journey.
Medical practitioners know that a treatment only follows a diagnosis. Usually success
of a treatment depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis. Asking the questions: ‘what
is law’ and ‘why there is law’ is diagnosis in the context of a society. ‘What may be
done with it’ is the treatment part. It may be easily understood by a little careful
observation that the functioning of a legal system generally depends on how the society
conceptualize law. Thus, an opinion on what is law and what is the role of law shapes
the formation and enforcement of laws. Without doubt, lawyers, judges, and
legislators can do far better with training in Jurisprudence than without it.

Course Curriculum
COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS | | 6 credits|
Session: July – November 2023 | Faculty: Dr. Bipin Kumar|
A. INTRODUCTION
In the present context of globalized economics, in which, the India is playing leading role, the
importance of daily use mercantile law become very significant. Therefore, all the more, it is
emergent need for the students to equip fully to the laws that deals with this aspect of the
economy. The present course introduces the students to the application of general and specific
principles of contract law in certain hard core business transactions.
The term ‘commercial’ should be given a wide interpretation so as to cover matters arising from
all relationships of a commercial nature, whether contractual or not. “Commercial Transactions”
according to a United Nations General Assembly resolution is said to include sale of goods,
carriage of goods and payments etc. Here at National Law University, Jodhpur, we had adopted
the same approach while administering the Commercial Transactions course. The endeavor is to
ensure that students learn the requisites of sale of goods, carriage of goods and payments, as the
three inextricably form the essentials of commercial transactions.
To illustrate the same, we take the example of Bill of Lading, a common aspect of international
commercial transactions. It is a document of title that does not contain the definition in the Sales
of Goods Act, 1930 or in the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. We have to look into the
Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1925 and the (Indian) Bills of Lading Act, 1856 to refer to the
same. Similarly, one has to refer to the various Carrier Laws in order to find the meaning of
“Delivery” and “Ascertainment” of goods. The terms are mentioned in the Sale of Goods, 1930,
but reference to Carrier laws is essential in order to find the true nature and meaning of the legal
terms. Further, the concept of lien as mentioned in the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, is also essential
in order to understand the workings of marine transactions, which will later form the basis of the
student’s understanding of Marine Laws and Insurance.
B. COURSE OUTCOMES

[CO.1] Understand the rules relating to the formation of sale contract
[CO. 2] Identify conditions and warranties in the sale contract in India

welfare. In defining the orbit of its right in this respect, the state usually proceeds by enumeration
of the acts, which impinge upon them, coupled with an intimation of the penalty to which anyone
committing such acts will be liable. The branch of law that deals with the rules upon this subject
is accordingly described as ‘Criminal Law.’

A. INTRODUCTION
Civil Procedure Code is a subject of daily use by the courts and lawyers and a student cannot
afford to have scant knowledge of civil procedure when he goes out to practice as a lawyer. True
that it is through experience one gets expert knowledge of civil procedure. However, it is
necessary to have good grounding in the subject before one enters the profession. While the
substantive law determines the rights of parties, procedural law sets down the norms for
enforcement.
The Code of Civil Procedure in India has a chequered history and lays down the details of
procedure for redressal of civil rights. Many questions may prop up when one goes to indicate
one’s civil rights. The court where the suit is to be filed, the essential forms and procedure for
institution of suit, the documents in support and against, evidence taking and trial, dimensions of
an interim order, the peculiar nature of the suits, the complexities of executing a decree and
provisions for appeal and revision are all matters which a lawyer for any side is to be familiar
with.
A delay in filing the suit, besides indicating the negligence of the plaintiff in effectively agitating
the matter on time, may place courts in a precarious situation. They may not be in a position to
appreciate the evidence correctly. Evidence might have been obliterated. Hence, the statute of
limitation fixes a period within which a case has to be filed. Thus, the law of limitation
applicable to civil suits in India shall also be covered under the course.
B. COURSE OUTCOMES
After completion of this course the student will be able to understand:
[CO.1] The basic concepts of civil litigation and the civil court procedures.
[CO.2] The hierarchy of courts and their jurisdiction.
[CO.3] The procedure followed in civil suits as per the Code of Civil Procedure and
Limitation Act.
[CO.4] The relevance of pleadings and their essential contents.
[CO.5] The significance of execution of decrees and orders and also the remedies offered
through civil mechanisms.

A. INTRODUCTION
Sociology is science of society; which study the intricate and ever changing pattern of the totality
of the human relationships. Sociology raises may questions related to these relationships,
questions which seem very familiar to us. All of us have the opinion about the society, about
families, about socialization, about custom and mores, about religion etc. Sociologists ask
penetrating questions about these aspects of human social life, aspect that we often take for
granted or argues on the basis of our own experiences; however sociologists answered these
questions by gathering facts according to rules of scientific inquiry. As a systematic study of
origin, development, structure and interaction of theses relationship in the form of social
institutions- family, marriage, kinship, religion, sociology has a wide scope. Knowledge of
