This yearbook is a compilation of thematically arranged essays that critically analyse

emerging developments, issues, and perspectives across different branches of law. It

consists of research from scholars around the world with the view that comparative

study would initiate dialogue on law and legal cultures across jurisdictions. The themes

vary from jurisprudence of comparative law and its methodologies to intrinsic details

different legal systems, recent judgements, and aspects of human rights in a comparative

perspective. It comprises seven parts wherein the first part focuses on general themes

of comparative law, the second part discusses private law through a comparative lens,

and the third, fourth and fifth parts examine aspects of public law with special focus

criminal law and the last part of the book covers recent developments in the field of

comparative law. This book intends to trigger a discussion on issues of comparative

law from the vantage point of Global South, not only focusing on the Global North.

It examines legal systems of countries from far-east and sub-continent and presents

insights on their working. It encourages readers to gain a nuanced understanding of

the working of law, legal systems and legal cultures, adding to existing deliberations

on the constituents of an ideal system of law.
