During the British era, there was a diminished sense of ownership among tribals since there was no law to protect their ownership title. After independence, our Government aimed at replacing the British policies of exclusion with those of integration. Our Constitution provides for certain provisions which are aimed at safeguarding the interest of the tribals. These provisions ensure that tribals are not deprived of their land ownership titles. This paper seeks to examine the efficacy of some of these provisions as well as other measures undertaken by the legislature and the judiciary for tribal welfare.

It has been seen that prisoners have elevated rates of psychiatric disorders as compared to the general population. Psychosis, personality disorders, depression and substance use are some of the common problems plaguing the inmates. Some of them tend to show suicidal tendencies. This paper aims at looking at certain factors which contribute to their mental disorders. It also seeks to analyze certain case studies in order to show how these factors lead to a detoriation in the mental health of the prisoners. Lastly it suggests certain reforms in order to ensure timely identification of the disorder, immediate treatment and rehabilitation.

The provisions are expected to be clear and unambiguous so as to ensure the ease of doing business. However, the Companies Act, 2013 was far off the mark. The Act, consisting of 470 Sections, was brought into force in two phases- one in September, 2013 and the other in April, 2014. As a result of this hurried implementation, several loopholes and ambiguities in the Act were left unattended. This created several interpretational and operational difficulties in the corporate sector.
