JURISPRUDENCE (LEGAL METHOD, INDIAN LEGAL SYSTEM AND BASIC THEORY OF LAW)
(LUG-102)
OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE: The concept of law is central to the legal enterprise. In the
absence of a comprehensive understanding of this concept, neither legal education nor legal
practice can be set towards attaining justice in society. Pedagogy is merely teaching of rules
without the knowledge of cognitive and teleological foundations of the discipline and it would not
be possible to present a synchronization of various statutes, cases, procedures, practices and
customs in the form of a ‘systematic body of knowledge nor it would be possible to show the
interconnectivity among various branches of law.
A course in Jurisprudence should primarily induct students into a world of questions concerning
law so as to enable the student to toy with their complexity and perplexity and is driven to seek
answers for themselves such as questioning- “Who says what to whom under what circumstances
and for what purpose” which shall, in turn, unfold mysteries of law before them.
OUTCOME- By the end of this course, successful students will be able to:
1. explain the differences between the major historical schools of jurisprudence
concerning the nature of law;
2. identify the major and minor premises of legal arguments and analyze legal debates
using appropriate rhetorical vocabulary;
3. invent and defend arguments about the requirements of justice in legal disputes that
reference and extend the themes of the course.

PROPERTY LAW (TRANSFER OF PROPERTY ACT AND EASEMENT ACT)
(LUG-204)
OBJECTIVE: Course on property law conventionally deals with the Transfer of Property Act
1882. Since then fundamental changes have taken place in the field of property laws due to
changed social circumstances. The irony is that old rules enacted by colonial masters such as rule
against perpetuities find a place and post-Independence developments such as control and use of
agricultural land don’t find a place. In the matter of leases of immovable property this law is
virtually outdated. Keeping these deficiencies in mind this course outline attempts at overcoming
these deficiencies and imbalances.
OUTCOMES
1. Learners will be able to understand that immovable property is precious and transactions in
connection with the immovable property are to be authenticated by the government via
registration
2. After studying the subject, students shall be able to appreciate that the law requires that
immovable property must remain in circulation for the benefit of society
3. Property law does not deal with all varieties of transfer. It is concerned with transfer
between living persons.
