Ujjwal Ray Rajbangshi (Uttaranchal University – Law College Dehradun Faculty) & Mona Sehgal (Uttaranchal University – Law College Dehradun Faculty) have posted A Jurisprudential and Contemporary Analysis of Law and Order with Special Reference to Manipur (CPJ Law Journal, Volume XVIII, Issue No. 1, July 2025 ) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Though the rule of law and order is considered a backbone to regulate society, unfortunately there are other various antisocial elements for which the rule of law and order is not fully utilized. The contravention of the rule of law in the state is not a new concept in India. Crimes like deterioration of public property and ethnic clashes are not new instances of violating the rule of law in the state. Breakdown of law and order, human rights violence, and many other instances can be seen in contemporary India, and it also shows how society itself ignores the mechanisms of the rule of law. Northeastern states of India like Manipur also highlight the political and social turmoil that resulted in disturbance of law and order in the state. The political mayhem are also the reasons that result in social atrocities and tensions. The need of accountability of the state and judiciary are both necessary to regulate rule of law and order in the state. The purpose of the study is twofold: first, to highlight the jurisprudential notion of rule of law; second, to highlight the critical scenarios of law and order in Manipur.
