1 UNIT-1/ 10 Hours COURSE CODE: LLM 101 COURSE TITLE: CREDIT:06 JURISPRUDENCE AND LEGAL THEORY HOURS:105 COURSE TYPE: CCC THEORY: 04 TUTORIAL: 03 THEORY: 60 TUTORIAL: 45 OBJECTIVE: At the heart of the legal enterprise is the concept of law. Without a deep understanding of thisconcept neither legal education nor legal practice can be a purposive activity oriented towardsattainment of justice in society. Moreover, without a comprehension of the cognitive and teleologicalfoundations of the discipline, pedagogy becomes a mere teaching of the rules. It is unable topresent various statutes, cases, procedure, practices and customs as a systematic body ofknowledge, nor is it able to show the inter-connection between these various branches of law,procedures and principles. The fact that the basic nature and purpose of law should be cleartoevery student and that it should be the very foundation of law teaching needs little argument. Acourse in jurisprudence should, primarily, induct the student into a realm of questions concerninglaw so that he is able to live with their perplexity or complexity and is driven to seek out answers forhimself. It may not be possible that a one year jurisprudence course can impart knowledge of doctrinesabout law and justice, developed over the years, in various nations and historical situations. Atbest an undergraduate course should impart the analytical skill and equip the student with thebasic problems concerning law and the types of solutions sought. Thus, the student not only willbe able to use this skill in practice but also is motivated to take up detailed historical studies on hisown after the course. Since a basic idea in the designing of this course is to bring jurisprudencecloser to our reality, in the selection of cases and reading materials the teacher should try to makeuse of the Indian material as far as possible.

Whatever might have been the original power base of the Constitution, today it seems to have acquired legitimacy as a highest norm of public law. A good understanding of the Constitution and the law, which has developed through constitutional amendments, judicial decisions, constitutional practice and conventions is, therefore, absolutely necessary for a student of law. He must also know the genesis, nature and special features and be aware of the social, political and economic influence on the Constitution. The purpose of teaching constitutional law is to highlight its never-ending growth. Constitutional interpretation is bound to be influenced by one's social, economic or political predilections. A student must, therefore, learn how various interpretations of the constitution are possible and why a significant interpretation was adopted in a particular situation. Such a critical approach is necessary requirement in the study of constitutional law. Judicial review is an important aspect of constitutional law. India is the only country where the judiciary has the power to review even constitutional amendments. The application of basic structure objective in the evaluation of executive actions is an interesting development of Indian constitutional law. Paripasu the concept of secularism and federalism engraved in the constitution are, and are to be, interpreted progressively.

Legislatures enact laws after muchdeliberation. No doubt in this process they have to take into account the present and future needsof the people. What are the matters to be reckoned with by legislature while enacting laws? Withthe emergence of legislation, interpretation of statutes became a method by which judiciary exploresthe intention behind the statutes. Judicial interpretation involves construction of words, phrasesand expressions. In their attempt to make the old and existing statutes contextually relevant,courts used to develop certain rules, doctrines and principles of interpretation. Judiciary plays ahighly creative role in this respect. What are the techniques adopted by courts in construing statutes?how far are they successful in their strategy?

This change has added new vistas of Indian democracy and it offers an opportunity to translate the Gandhian concept of Gram Swaraj into practice. Necessarily, a person specializing in administrative law has to be equipped with the knowledge on the working of early systems, the present constitutional scheme, the legislative powers of the State transferring responsibility to local bodies and on the increasing regulatory and financial powers of the local bodies. The nature of the democratic functioning of these elected bodies and the scope of administrative control as well of the judicial control over them are challenging areas for students of administrative law to evaluate and help formulation of new and pragmatic working methods. Historical Perspectives Early period Gram Swaraj: the Gandhian concept between constitution and constitutionalism Constitutional Scheme Directive Principles Structure and powers of local bodies Legislative Powers Direct democracy and grass root planning Municipalities and corporation Gram Sabha Quasi-legislative Powers Rule making power of the State Government Regulations and Bye-laws 12

Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the problems it raises do not relate merely to specific individuals but about such matters as national development, industrial policy, policies concerning natural resources, injustice to communities, inter generational equity and prevention of pollution. All these issues relate to problematic about construction of a just, humane and healthy society. Secondly, environmental law necessarily demands an inter-disciplinary approach. Thirdly, uniqueness of the subject is borne out by the new epistemological outlook which ecology-related knowledge has brought about in recent times. The development of ecological knowledge has necessitated an overall change not only in managerial studies but also in socio-legal explorations. This approach to the growing dimensions of environmental law is essential. Concept of environment and Pollution Environment Meaning and contents Pollution Meaning Kinds of pollution Effects of pollution Legal control: historical perspectives Indian tradition : dharma of environment British Raj - industrial development and exploitation of nature Nuisance: penal code and procedural codes Free India - continuance of British influence Old laws and new interpretations Constitutional Perspectives Constitution making - development and property oriented approach Directive principles Status, role and interrelationship with fundamental rights and fundamental duties.
