    (University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Patil, Ashok R
    The use of tobacco products has been clearly established to cause significant medical and economic harm. While specific tobacco control legislation has been enacted in the form of the COTPA 2003, it is important to examine if other legislations can be utilised for regulation of tobacco consumption. One such legislation is the Consumer Protection Act 2019, which significantly expands the rights of consumers and protection given to them in terms of product safety and product quality. Accordingly, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and the scope of utilising this legislation and the jurisprudence on consumer law with the aim of effective regulation of tobacco consumption.

    Jurisprudential Study on Individual Liberty v. Public Interest: A Case of COVID-19
    (University of North Bengal, 2023-03) Rajasekar, G
    Human community witnessed many outbreaks of infectious disease from very ancient period. Indian society is also not spared by the nature in this regard. These diseases posed great threats not only to the public health security of the nations but also significantly disrupted the economic and commercial activities of the State. The power exercised by the state in protecting public health during health emergency is limited by the individual right to liberty, right to food, right to privacy, right against discrimination etc. Therefore, a fine balance may be drawn between the individual liberty and the power state to maintain public health.
