 INSTITUTION NAME – SASTRA Deemed to be University, Thanjavur.

 ABSTRACT:

 In the ever-expanding landscape of the Information Technology (IT) industry, characterized by unprecedented growth and evolution, a significant trend has emerged: the widespread adoption of contractual labor. This paradigm shift has redefined employment dynamics within the IT sector, with companies increasingly relying on fixed-term agreements to engage individuals for specific projects or tasks. However, this surge in contractual employment has given rise to a contentious issue – the imposition of financial penalties on employees who resign before the stipulated contract period concludes. This article delves into the intricate legal terrain of contracts in the IT industry, meticulously examining the nuanced inclusion of monetary penalties for premature termination. The exploration primarily revolves around the ambit of the Indian Contracts Act, of 1872, dissecting its pertinent provisions to discern the legality and enforceability of these agreements.

In this article, we have gone deep into the legal rights of women in live-in relationships, along with laws related to live-in relationships in other countries and what are the challenges faced by them in a live-in relationship.

UNIFORM CIVIL CODE: A DISPUTE. 

AUTHOR’S NAME – Ketaki Rajesh Telkar, LLB, Second Year.

 INSTITUTION NAME – Gj Advani Law College, Mumbai.

 ABSTRACT:

 The uniform civil code (UCC) is among the most hotly contested and scrutinized topics in our country. So basically, UCC are set of laws that might replace the personal laws of our country. Personal laws are those that every religion has specifically put down to govern people from the respective religions. This is because of the diversity of our country. Every religion has its own personal laws. For instance, The Hindu Marriage Act of 19551 , 2 The Indian Christian Marriage Act of 18723 , The Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act of 19364 , and the Muslim Marriage law5 in India. UCC will give equal status to everyone and that will truly bring out sense in the statement that everyone is equal in the eyes of laws and the same set of laws would be governed for everyone without any discrimination.
