Criminology & Privileged class Deviance
Max.M. 100 Pass M. 40
Aggregate - 50%o

Objectives of the course

This course focuses on the "Criminality of the "Privileged classes". The definition of
"privileged classes" in a society like lndia should not pose major problem at all; the
expression nearly includes weilders of all forms of staie and social (including religious)
power. Accordingly, the course focuses on the relation between privilege power and
deviant behaviour. The traditional approaches rvhich highlight "white-collar offences",
"socio-economic offences" or "crimes of the powerful" deal mainly
with the deviance of the economically resourceful. The dimension of deviance
associated with bureaucracy, the new rich (nouveau riche), religious leaders and
organizations, professional classes and the higher bourgeoisie are not fully captured
here. ln designing teaching materials for this course, current developments in deviance,
as reflected in newspapers/journals, law reports, and legislative proceedings should be
highlighted. lt should be stressed that the objectives of ihe course include:
(a) Dispelling of the commonly held belief that deviance crime is usually associated with
the impoverished or improvident;
(b) construction of model so understanding the reality of middle and upper; middle class
deviance criminality in lndia:
(c) Critical analyses of legal system responses and
(d) lssues and dilemmas in penal and sentencing policies.

The following syllabus prepared with the above objectives will be spread over a period of
one semester.

like lndia. People holding public offices anC authority are accused of misuse of their
office and misappropriatron of public funds for private gain. Privatization of public

Lokpal and Lokayukt, agencies like commissions of enquiry and vigilence commission
and legislative committees inquiring into particular problem or general questions are in
the process of experimentation in the country with the object of getting out of vicious
triangle. These are opinions to strengthen the CBl. The reports of Comptroller and
Auditor General are also followed up. This course shall concentrate on all these areas
and make an evaluation of the existing machinery in the light of the judicial dicta on

Objectives of the course

With the introduction of the Constitution seventy third and seventy foufth amendments,
India is moving towards the ideal of direct democracy endowing the local bodies with
powers of administration in matters of regional and local importance. This change has
added new vistas of Indian democracy and it offers an opportunity to translate the
Gandhian concept of Gram Swaraj into practice. Necessarily, a person specializing in
administrative law has to be equipped with the knowledge on the working of early
systems, the present constitutional schelne, the legislative powers of the State transferring
responsibility to local bodies and or.r the increasing regulatory and financial powers of the
local bodies. The natute of the democratic functioning of these elected bodies and the
scope of administrative control as well of the judicial control over them are challenging
areas for students of administrative law to evaluate and help formulation of new and
pragmatic working methods.

The course shall comprise about 42 units olone-hour duration to be spread out to a period
of one semester.

Paper - Corporate Finance

Objectives of the Course

lnd ustrialisation has played, and has to play, a very vital role in the economic development of
lndia. ln the post independent era, industrial development is regarded, and hence employed, as
principal means in the strategy for achieving the goal of economic the and social justice
envisioned in the constitution. Corporation, both public and private, and are viewed as a
powerful instrument for development, ln a developing society like lndia enormous varieties of
consumer goods are manufactured or produced. Obviously, the situation raises the issues of
procuring utilising and managing the finances. For this purpose a science of financial
management techniques has been evolved. The faculties of commerce, business and
management studies have since last decades staried to imparl instruction so as to turn out
sufficiently well equipped and adequately trained financial personnel. However, the legal and
juristic aspects of corporate finance have been more or less not effectively taken care of.

ln view of the above perspectives the broad objectives of this cause may be formulated as
follows-

(i) To understand the economic and legal dimensions of corporate finance in the process of
industrial development in establishing social order in the context of constitutional values

(ii) To acquaint the students with the normative philosophical and economic contours of
various statutory rules relating to corporate finance.

(iii) To acquaint the students with the organisation, functions, lending, and recovery
procedures, conditions of lending and accountability of international national and state
financing institutions and also of commercial banks; and

(iv) To acquaint the students with the process of the flow and outflow of corporate finance.
The following syllabus prepared with the above perspective cornprise of 42 units to be
spread over a period of one semester.
