I am Disha Sania, a law graduate from South Calcutta Law College (affiliated with the University of Calcutta), having completed my B.A. LL.B. in 2025. Currently, I am pursuing an LL.M. with a specialization in Data Science and Data Protection Law at the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS), Kolkata. Since losing my mother in 2021, I have been living with my father and taking on many responsibilities at home. These personal challenges have helped shape my resilience and independence, even as I have remained focused on my academic journey. I deeply value the close-knit circle of friends I have. While I may be reserved at first when meeting new people, I gradually open up and often form lasting connections. I believe in the importance of genuine relationships. Sincerity and discipline define my approach to academics and other responsibilities. I am always eager to learn new things, which I consider a strength. At the same time, I tend to take longer to complete tasks, as I strive for precision and perfection—something I am working on balancing better. During my undergraduate years, I developed a strong interest in several core areas of law, especially Constitutional Law, Family Law, Indian Penal Code, BNS, Criminal Procedure Code, BNSS, Intelectual Property Rigts, Information Technology Law and the Law of Evidence. These subjects continue to inspire me as I explore the intersection of law and technology in my LL.M. studies. My long-term goal is to become a law officer. Outside of academics, I find joy in writing, painting, cooking, travelling, and spending quiet moments in solitude for self-reflection. I also value cleanliness and like to maintain a tidy and orderly living space. The journey so far has not been without its difficulties, but each step has strengthened my resolve. I am committed to navigating both my professional and personal life with determination, sincerity, and heart.
Introduction On a winter night in December 2024, Somnath Suryawanshi—a 22-year-old law student—died under suspicious circumstances while in police custody in Parbhani, Maharashtra. His body showed over twenty visible injuries. Yet, a First Information Report (FIR) was not registered until eight months later, after a prolonged legal battle and the intervention of the Supreme Court of India.¹ The case, like many others, highlights a grim pattern of impunity within Indian policing. India records an average of five custodial deaths every day, most of which never lead to conviction.² This widespread abuse is not a recent development, but the predictable outcome…
Introduction In the sacred contract between healer and the ailing, trust is its most fragile—and most vital—element. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Indian healthcare landscape, where rapid medical advancement coexists with systemic inequities and resource constraints. Despite significant strides in diagnostics and treatment, lapses in professional care—often with grave consequences—continue to surface. Legally termed medical negligence, such lapses raise difficult questions about ethics, accountability, and access to justice in a country striving to balance affordability with quality care. Medical negligence, in legal terms, refers to a breach of the duty of care by a healthcare professional, resulting…
