CCJA RMLNLU, Lucknow, & T[A]P by Simulegum present 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 with the theme "Dissecting the fine line between Vulgar Content, Erotica, Soft P**n, and P**n".

A recent event in India triggered a heated discussion about the definition of "p**n." This spurred a debate on the boundaries of erotica, soft p**n, and p**n. On the other hand, we see a lot of series and movies on various OTT platforms that show what we now call explicit material.

This is your chance to set the base for research on this grey area of law!

In this post, Sahajveer Baweja analyzes conflict of opinions of the Indian courts vis-à-vis compounding of offences. The author argues that heinous offences like r**e, murder, etc. are offences against the whole society and if even such offences are allowed to be settled and compromised, there is a higher risk of lawlessness in the state where the offenders would feel more powerful that they can commit any sort of heinous or grave crime and then can also be set free.
