State Control and Digital Dispossession: A Critique of the UMEED Rules, 2025

  I.       Introduction It is undisputed that, for long, we carried the weight of colonial legislations, such as the criminal law trio, namely the  Indian Penal Code, 1860  (now replaced by the  Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 ).  The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (now replaced by the  Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 ) and the  Indian Evidence Act, 1872  (now replaced by the  Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 ). While the move was celebrated and welcomed as a positive step towards replacing the colonial era laws and introducing a more victim-centric approach and technological integration, it equally received criticism on the potential for state surveillance, with the increased digitisation.  In India, state surveillance is allowed, under the  Indian Telegraph Act,1885 ,  Post Office Act, 2023  and  Information Technology Act, 2000 , along with the relevant  Rules .

Legal Tensions- The Role of Past Consideration in Guarantee Contracts.

  Introduction In 2005, the  Bombay High Court  delivered its judgement  Sicom Limited v. Padmashri Mahipatrai J. Shah and Ors interpreting  S. 127 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (“ICA”)  to decide whether a guarantee executed after the financial assistance has been provided to the principal debtor by the creditor, constituted valid a consideration or whether it lacked consideration and was therefore invalid?.  Section 127 of ICA employs the phrase “ anything done ”, implying that actions taken in the past may constitute valid consideration for a guarantee contract. However, this provision conflicts with its third illustration, which unequivocally excludes past consideration in guarantee agreements. This internal discrepancy has resulted in  divergent judicial interpretations within Indian courts.  Some decisions such as  Aniruddha Mitra  and  Avinash P. Bhonsle  emphasise the literal language of the main section, w...
