ADMINISTRATIVE LAW


Course Objective: Administrative law is as old as the administration itself. However, the form in which we find it today,

Administrative is described a most outstanding legal development of the twentieth century. The reason for this

development can only be attributed to a change of philosophy as regards the role and function of the State. The

change in the concept of State from ‘laissez faire’ to a ‘welfare state’ has led to emergence of state activities in

almost all spheres of human life. With the phenomenal increase in the area of state operation, the State was

bound to take over a number of functions which were earlier left to private enterprise. In order to ensure that

such functions are performed effectively and further due to certain other factors namely contingency, expertise

etc. administrative agencies are given extraordinary powers and functions such as to make rules and deciding

disputes apart from its wide discretionary powers. Obviously, this necessitated a new set of laws to check the

possible abuses of such extraordinary powers on the part of administration. The courts in India and abroad in the

course of time have developed various doctrines and methods to deal with such p[problems. However, there is

no end to this journey. The field is still open for new changes.

The main thrust of administrative law has been to study the nature of functions and powers exercised by the

authorities on whom they have been conferred on and the study of remedies available to common man in case

the limits of exercising power are transferred by such an authority. The focus or the centre point of this study, as

usual as in cases of the study of other branches of public law, is the rights of individual wis a wis the public

interest.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS


Course Objective: The course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge to the students regarding Indian position of the

Patent Law (1970), Copy Right Law (1957) and Designs Act of 2000 which invariably form the part of

Intellectual Property Law and shall comprise of the following.

The importance of this branch of the law is to be sufficiently realized in the Indian legal education. These areas

are now internationally conceptualized as representing intellectual property. It is often the case that while the

law of patents and trademarks is referred to as industrial property, the law relating to copyright is named

intellectual property. While both these terms could be suitably invoked, we here speak of intellectual property

as signifying all the three bodies of the law as well as the law on industrial designs.

Unlike other forms of property, intellectual property refers to regimes of legal recognition of, primarily, the

products of the mind or imagination. The subject matter of property relations is here preeminently based on

mental labour. The law relating to intellectual property protects the right to mental labour.

The law confers rights of proprietary nature on relative intellectual labour primarily on the basis that it is in the

interests of society and state to promote creativeness and inventiveness. Limited monopoly provides incentive

for greater inventive and innovative efforts in society. An important aspect of the exploration in this course

would be ways in which the laws strike a fair balance between the interests and rights of the intellectual

labourers on the one hand and organized industrial enterprises on the other. Another dimension is a study of the

ways in which this regime of laws militates against, or favours, commModuley property in national cultures. As

concerns ‘modernization’ crucial questions arise in the field of copyright protection in computer software and

hardware, internet, electronic music and scientific research. Both copyright, trademarks, design and patent law

here relate basically to the law of unfair competition and constitute an aspect of consumer protection and

welfare not only in the context of national perspectives but also in view of the waves of globalization already set

in. Both from the standpoint of human resources development, modernization and justice it is important that the

law students get sufficient insights in Intellectual Property Law.
