STATE REGULATION OR UNDERMINING THE AUTONOMY OF NGO’S? – CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE FOREIGN CONTRIBUTION (REGULATION) AMENDMENT BILL, 2026
The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 plays a significant role in regulating foreign contributions to civil society organisations in India.While the Act aims for transparency, national interest and accountability, its continuous amendments have raised various concerns regarding the impact on the autonomy of non-governmental organisations.The study will analyse whether the evolving framework shifts from financial contribution regulation to restricting the autonomy of civil society organisations in social welfare.The research adopts a doctrinal methodology based on analysis of government reports and scholarly literature.The study finds that the objectives of the Act, such as preventing misuse of foreign funds and ensuring transparency, are legitimate, but the collective effect of continuous amendments has slightly expanded government control over the non-government organisations.The paper concludes that the need of the hour is a balanced framework to ensure National interests

SEP AND FRAND OBLIGATIONS IN INDIA: AN ANALYSIS OF ABUSE OF DOMINANCE AND CCI’S JURISDICTION UNDER COMPETITION LAW
The greater involvement of technology in the current economies has necessitated standardisation in various industries, including telecommunications, electronics, and digital networks. The fundamental element in this system is the existence of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). SEPs cover patents whose technologies must be implemented in order to comply with standards. In order to align the rights associated with the protection offered by patents with the need to make technology available, SEP holders are obliged to license the technologies under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms (FRAND). Nevertheless, the enforcement of FRAND undertakings has posed several legal and economic issues. The present dissertation seeks to explore the emerging case laws regarding the jurisprudence relating to SEPs and FRAND obligations in India, with special reference to the intersection between patent law and competition law.
