Item Role of Green IP in Sustainable Construction: International and Indian Approach(Manakin Press, 2026) Gaurav Gupta, Abhimanyu GandhiOver the past few years, environmental protection and sustainable development have gained center stage in the echelons of industry, politics, and society. In a study published in 2021 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), concerns have been raised regarding ‘widespread, rapid, and intensifying’ climate change. From International Conventions to National Symposiums, climate change and sustainability and its dependence on green technologies have become central topics for current consideration. The use of Green Intellectual Property and its regulations in the sector of building and construction plays a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future. It is time to optimally utilize green technology to save the environment for the benefit of future generations. Big Tech and Real Estate companies are focusing on turning their infrastructure and construction eco-friendly and carbon-neutral. This chapter will look at the idea of green intellectual property, its significance in the modern world, and how it interacts with national and international sustainable building regulations. In order to comprehend the idea clearly, the chapter also covers appropriate case examples. It also attempts to address the difficulties experienced by policymakers while adopting policies for green and sustainable living.Item Greening the Tax System: Rebooting Sustainability(MJS PUBLISHING HOUSE, 2025) Mirza Juned Beg, Mohd Sufiyan Khan, Syedah Fatima Zahara JafriItem Guardian of the Green: Federalism and Judicial Review in India as Protector of Our Planet(Mind Your Law, 2025) Mirza Juned BegIn an era marked by the urgent crescendo of ecological crises, the intricate tapestry of environmental federalism emerges as a pivotal construct in navigating the labyrinthine challenges of sustainable governance. This scholarly exploration delves into the dynamic interplay between federalism and judicial review, illuminating the delicate balance between national imperatives and local aspirations in environmental stewardship. Through a kaleidoscope of legal frameworks and judicial interpretations, the narrative intricately weaves the threads of authority, accountability, and ecological integrity, revealing the profound implications of judicial oversight in enhancing or constraining environmental policy. As the judiciary assumes its role as both arbiter and guardian of the environment, this examination posits that judicial review serves as a vital fulcrum, ensuring that the imperatives of environmental justice resonate across the fragmented landscape of governance. By scrutinizing landmark cases and legislative milestones, this work elucidates how the judiciary shapes the narrative of environmental federalism, fostering a symphony of cooperative engagement while grappling with the discordant notes of state versus federal authority. This discourse aspires to catalyze a deeper understanding of the harmonious interplay between law and nature, urging stakeholders to engage in a collective. Ultimately, this work aspires to contribute to the ever-evolving narrative of environmental jurisprudence in India, urging a contemplative reflection on our collective responsibility toward the Earth and future generations.Item Towards a Circular Economy: Regulatory Challenges in E-Waste Governance in India(The Lawgical Junction and MJS Publishing House, 2025) Wasim Ahmad, Gaurav Gupta, Mohd. Tahir HusainThe exponential growth of electronic waste (e-waste) presents one of the most pressing environmental and legal challenges of the 21st century. This chapter explores the complex legal landscape governing sustainable e-waste management through a dual lens: international frameworks, particularly the Basel Convention and European Union directives, and the evolving domestic regime in India. It analyzes the efficacy of current regulations in addressing the environmental, health, and socio-economic implications of e-waste, while also highlighting the gaps between legislative intent and implementation. Emphasis is placed on the principles of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), circular economy, and sustainable development as key drivers for regulatory reform. Furthermore, the chapter critically evaluates India’s E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, examining their alignment with global best practices and their capacity to operationalize sustainable waste governance. By integrating doctrinal analysis with policy insights, this study contributes to the discourse on harmonizing environmental protection with technological progress, and offers forward-looking recommendations for a robust and enforceable e-waste management regime.Item Jus Post Bellum Rules under Law of ARMED CONFLICT(The Lawgical Junction and MJS Publishing House, 2024) Seema SiddiquiItem RECENT TRENDS IN GREEN HRM SCHEME TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: A REVIEW(Aargon Press, 2021) Priyanka BajpaiThe paper focuses on the reach of the green human resource management (GHRM), which depends on the policies and practices of the organizations and as well as on the resources.

The therapeutic potential of an organic molecule-based chemotherapeutic candidate is influenced by the basic functional groups, where the stereo-arrangement and stereo-selectivity of groups enhance the therapeutic benefits. Stereo-selective organic molecules in different configurations show diverse activity, such as (R) and (S) enantiomers of ibuprofen are effective pain killers but only (S) naproxen has inflammatory activity. Similarly, the transformation of diethyl stilbesterol has potential estrogenic activity and not the cis form. The softness or hardness of drugs depends on the functionality of organic molecules; mostly, the presence of hydroxyl and carboxylic groups improves the softness. This chapter deals with effective drug designing, including the structure-activity relationship and the influence of various functional groups on the activity of a drug compound. The toxicological impact of drugs on the environment has also been explored. In recent times, it has been successfully studied that residue of drugs could enter the ecosystem through the water channel.
