Abstract:
This thesis entitled “Judicial review of academic decisions.Education in India is being increasingly controlled and guided by the courts.This study makes an attempt to assess the involvement of the court in regulating education and its role or interference in the conventional concepts of ‘academic freedom’ and ‘university autonomy.The study mostly concentrates on the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution and its invocation in academic matters with particular reference to the decisions of the Kerala High Court.The concept of judicial review in the Constituent Assembly, initial approach of the Supreme Court of India towards the doctrine, gradual empowerment of Indian judiciary in this area and the resultant judicial activism.The study proceeds through the analysis of ‘academic freedom’ and ‘university autonomy’ in the 4"‘ chapter. This chapter attempts to probe academic freedom and university autonomy in India,England and United States and autonomy of Indian universities before and after independence.Basic principles and the jurisdictional parameters of
judicial review in the area of academic decisions, as pronounced by the Apex Court, can be convincingly and consistently followed by the High Courts, which is possible only if special Academic Benches are constituted.

Abstract:
Urea-formaldehyde resins find numerous
applications in adhesive, textile finishing and moulded
plastic industries. Kinetic investigations of the reactions of
urea and its related compounds with formaldehyde in
aqueous acid, alkaline and neutral media have been carried
out. A thin—layer chromatographic method was developed
for the separation and estimation of the products of these
reactions. Using this technique the various initial steps
in the reactions were analysed and the rate constants have been determined.

Abstract:
It is hoped that the present study by analysing the
dynamics of agrarian change and peasant mobility may contribute
to the on-going debate on this issue in India and other developing
countries. It may also help to throw light on the validity of some
of the theories formulated on the basis of experience in different
regions and at different times. The study is likely to be of
special importance as it covers an area which has one of the
highest densities of population. The area has also witnessed
sweeping changes in agrarian structure as a result of the most
radical land reforms among the Indian states.

Abstract:
This is a study of land use law in India. Land use Controls has been a subject
of controversy since the human settlement. Gamut of control increased with human
development. Now the controls are for many purposes.Nuisance created through various land use was tried to be avoidedthrough the common law controls7. Whether the utility of the activity outweighs
the environmental consideration was the consideration before the court. A
standard definition8 of nuisance could meet most of the problems relating to land
use. Later on, planning and zoning laws brought in major changes. Health, safety
and facilities of others attracted land use controls9. After the Stockholm the sphere
of government interference increased. Several legislations were enacted. Existing
legislations were modified. These come in conflict with the interests of different
sections of society. Coastal Regulations10 and high range protection11 are
manifestations of such unrest. A systematic study on these issues is of current
interest. Exploring of some areas in this respect is also relevant in this respect.
