JURISPRUDENCE-I | 6 Credits|
Session: August - November 2020 | Faculty: Prof. Shyam K Kaushik
Class: BA/BBA LLB IV 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.
B. COURSE OUTCOMES
At the end of the course the students should be able to know the difference between ‘a law’
and ‘the law’. S/he should be able to understand various reasons for the validity of laws in
any legal system. The student should be able to know how the validity of laws and legal
systems is explained differently by various jurists and how in practice all those explanations
work.
C. PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
[PO.1] Demonstrate an ability to ‘think’ about the law and not just ‘know’ a law.
[PO.2] Demonstrate an ability to explain why a particular fact situation is different from
some other apparently similar fact situation and therefore should be dealt with differently.
[PO.3] Learn to read cases and compare them at jurisprudential level.
[PO.4] Learn to explain eloquently the ideas underlying the laws and legal systems.
[PO.5] Learn to research and form informed opinion about laws and policies.
[PO.6] Demonstrate the ability to relate theory of law with the actual practice of law.
[PO.7] Increased awareness about the modern politico-legal environment.

COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS | 6 credits|
Session: August – December 2020 | Faculty: Dr. Bipin Kumar|
Class: BA/BBA LLB III SEMESTER
A. INTRODUCTION
In the present context of globalized world, 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.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT I | 6 credits|
Session: August – December 2020 | Faculty: Mr. Renjith Thomas|
A. INTRODUCTION:
The most important functions of the state is to maintain law and order by preventing and
punishing all violations and all disobedience to the rules which it has laid down for common
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 OUTCOME
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.
C. PROGRAM OUTCOMES
ongoing improvement of the practice of law and exhibits commitment and aptitude for life-
long learning and continuing improvement;
contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development. [PO.7].
