CODE OF CONDUCT — SYMBIOSIS INTERNATIONAL (DEEMED UNIVERSITY)

Article 1: PREAMBLE : The student code of conduct [Code] is established to foster and protect the core missions of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University) Pune , to foster the scholarly and civic development of the University's students in a safe and secure learning environment, and to protect the people, properties and processes that support the University and its missions. However, the establishment and maintenance of a community where there is freedom to teach and to learn is dependent on maintaining an appropriate sense of order that allows for the pursuit of these objectives in an environment that is both safe and free of invidious disruption. Rules and regulations are necessary to mark the boundaries of this needed order. Article 2: APPLICABILITY : The Code is applicable to all students, which includes all persons taking programmes at various constituent institutes of the University, either full-time or part-time, pursuing undergraduate, graduate, professional studies. Persons who withdraw after allegedly violating the Code, who are not officially enrolled for a particular semester or term, but have a continuing relationship with the University, or who have been notified of their acceptance for admission are considered as “students”. The Code applies to all locations of the University. Article 3: JURISDICTION : The Code applies to the on-campus conduct of all Students at all the location / campus of the University. The code also applies to the off-campus conduct of students in direct connection with:  Academic course requirements or any credit-bearing experiences, such as internships, field trips, study abroad / student exchange;    Any activity supporting pursuit of a degree, such as research at another institution or a professional practice assignment;    Any activity sponsored, conducted, or authorized by the university or by registered student organizations;    Any activity that causes substantial destruction of property belonging to the university or members of the university community or causes serious harm to the health or safety of members of the university community; or  

Course: BA/BBA LLB Subjects: LAW OF CRIMES PAPER II: CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE I Course Name: Law of Crimes Paper II: Criminal Procedure Code I UG/PG: UG Number of Credits: 4 Level: 2 Objective: The criminal process involves in increasing expenditure of government resources. At the same time, it confronts a crisis of intrusion into the individual rights in order to protect the common weal. Obviously, Criminal Procedure has to be just, fair and reasonable to the accused as well as to the victims. Undoubtedly the process is to be carried out in an objective manner. Criminal Procedure thus makes a balance of conflicting interests. This imposes a duty upon those connected with the working of the criminal process to abide by the law and to exercise discretion conferred on them in the best manner. Code of Criminal Procedure, originally enacted years ago, had undergone many trials and experiments, too enormous to be placed within a classroom discussion. However, the students should obtain a fair idea how the code works as the main spring of the criminal justice delivery system and should be exposed to the significant riddles of the procedure. Juvenile justice and probation of offenders are combined with the study of criminal procedure. These topics also do have their roots in the criminal procedure. The rubric under this head is intended to render an essential grasp of the areas.

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW Course Name: UG/PG: UG Number of Credits: 4 Level: 2

Objectives: Today, the functions of State are not limited only to maintenance of law and order, adjudicating upon disputes and regulation of economic and social life of individuals and groups. In addition to this, the modern State is also the Protector, Provider, and Entrepreneur. The assumption of unprecedented responsibility by the state has necessitated delegation of authority to numerous State functionaries. The number of functionaries in carrying out these tasks has ever been on the increase. The aggregate of such functionaries is an essential component of modern administration. A formidable body of law has come into existence for the purpose of exercising control over administration. For long, administrative lawyers have primarily been concerned with such matters as excess or abuse of power, mal-administration and abuse of discretion. However, in recent years there has been a shift in emphasis from finding what the administration may not do to what it must do. Through this course on Administrative Law, students will understand the structure and modus operandi of administration, the developmental perspectives and attainment of social welfare objectives through bureaucratic process. The role of the court in balancing the rights of individuals vis-a-vis the administrative power and functions of State and the matters, is by facilitating or hindering the attainment of these objectives.

Interpretation of Statutes Course Name: UG/PG: UG Number of Credits: 2 Level: 2 Objectives:Interpretation is not peculiar to legal texts. Situated within the broader framework of hermeneutics the interpretations of texts as a discipline is as ancient as thought itself, beginning with the ancient Greeks. That said the interpretation of law is in many ways distinctive. The distinctive features of legal interpretation, more specifically statutory interpretation, are contained within certain canonical rules that emerged out of decisions of the English Courts. Traditionally stating and illustrating the application of the rule using case law cover the course. The present course, however, includes not just that but also an inquiry in to the epistemological foundations of legal interpretation. It discusses various jurisprudential accounts that seek to justify legal interpretation in its varied forms. Further, the course is purposively discursive; it contains certain accounts usually covered by ‘methods’ and not ‘interpretation’; say, such as a discussion of the forward and backward looking aspect of precedent, the determining of ‘ratio’ by subsequent forums; both of which are interpretive accounts not usually covered by the traditional

approach. The point being to acquaint learners with the myriad interpretive techniques employed in adjudication.

Course Name: Law of Crimes Paper III: Criminal Procedure Code II UG/PG: UG Number of Credits: 4 Level: 2

Objective: The criminal process results in increasing expenditure from government resources. At the same time, it confronts a crisis of intrusion into the individual rights in order to protect the commonwealth. Obviously, Criminal Procedure has to be just, fair, and reasonable to the accused as well as to the victims. Undoubtedly the process is to be carried out in an objective manner. Criminal Procedure, thus, makes a balance of conflicting interests. This imposes a duty upon those connected with the working of the criminal process to abide by the law and to exercise discretion conferred on them in the best manner. Code of Criminal Procedure, originally enacted years ago, had undergone many trials and experiments, too enormous to be placed within a classroom discussion. However, the students should obtain a fair idea of how the Code works as the mainspring of the criminal justice delivery system and should be exposed to the significant riddles of the procedure. Juvenile Justice and Probation of Offenders are combined with the study of criminal procedure. These topics also have their roots in the criminal procedure. The rubrics under their head are intended to render an essential grasp of the areas.
