Student Publication!

We are pleased to share that Mr. Sankalp Guru, B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), and Mr. Aakarshdeep Singh Swani, B.Com. LL.B. (Hons.) students at Jindal Global Law School (JGLS), O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), have co-authored an article titled “The Sword That Never Sheathes: Supplementary Chargesheets and Investigative Overreach”, published in Manupatra.

In this insightful piece, the authors examine the legal framework governing supplementary chargesheets and the extent to which investigating agencies can continue investigations after a chargesheet has already been filed. The article explores the tension between the need to ensure a thorough investigation and the potential for prolonged or repeated investigative processes to undermine the rights of the accused.

The O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) : An Ecosystem of Spaces and Opportunities for Students

One of the most important features of a university is not simply the quality of its classrooms, programmes, faculty, or academic offerings, but the environment it creates for its students.

A university should never be understood merely as a collection of classrooms and administrative buildings. A truly vibrant university is a living ecosystem comprising formal and informal spaces: spaces for intense academic engagement and quiet reflection; intellectual exchange, sport and recreation; performance and creativity; and simply to sit, read, think, converse, or be with others. It is an environment where students can learn, explore, participate, create, compete, reflect, build friendships, discover themselves, and ultimately become the people they aspire to be. This philosophy has informed the creation and continued development of the JGU campus.

At JGU, the development of the campus has never been simply about constructing buildings or providing infrastructure. It has been about creating an ecosystem of opportunities for students.
