A journalist's account of investigating Gurmeet Ram Rahim and his empire of exploitation How did a nondescript young man from a farming family become the head of a quasi-religious sect with a million followers willing to die and kill for their 'Pitaji'? The story of the rise of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan of the wildly popular Dera Sacha Sauda is anything but ordinary. It allegedly involved sexual exploitation, forced castrations, private militias, illegal trade in arms and opium, and land grab on an untold scale-until the self-styled godman was convicted for one of his many crimes in August 2017. The book opens with an anonymous letter which led to the first-ever journalistic investigation, in 2007-Tehelka's Operation Jhootha Sauda-into the reported criminal activities at the Dera. In the years that followed, the author continued to document the lonely battles for justice against the influential godman who had the might of the Dera's machinery and manpower behind him. This book is as much about the grit and determination of ordinary citizens fighting power systems as it is about the difficulty of investigating crimes committed by the rich and powerful in India today.

This paper seeks to present an integral conception of Economic tort, with the economic analysis of the comparative study of its working. The article considers the enforcement of economic tort and what are the problems and issues during the enforcement of economic tort. The economic tort, as its name suggests, has its primary function, the protection of victim's economic interest of his existing financial expectations and whoever interfere will be liable. As it includes tort of simple conspiracy, breach of contract, unlawful interference with trade, intimidation, deceit and malicious falsehood, all these are torts of intention. Instead of these, the economic tort includes passing off, and the tort of negligence although it's applied in a very narrow way. The economic tort is categorized into two categories: firstly general tort and secondly misrepresentation torts. Economic tort plays a very important role in the regulation of competition and protest against unfair practices in the economic behaviour. The economic analysis of the tort law (economic tort) is very much similar with the economic approach of law. And its goal is namely efficiency i.e. optimal cost reduction. For example the cost the accident for which one is responsible are sunk. We cannot do anything for them. The only thing that can be done is shift the cost from the victim. That is of the part of the theory of the litigation 'the shift of the fees'. The most important feature is that whether the actor has taken into account interest of the others or not. If the actor has taken into account means, in another way it is trying to show the intention of the actor and that is very important for the enforcement of law.

This paper seeks to present the well known philosopher G.W.F. HEGEL, who is related to the Historical Law School. He said that at the level of morality a right and wrong is nothing else, but it is matter of individual conscience. He describes his philosophy with the three concepts of will, freedom and rights and he described that what is free will? the paper presents the relevance of his philosophy with the help of Indian Contract Law and the cases that is decided by the courts with the application of his philosophy i.e. the 'Philosophy of Rights'. In Atlas v Kafko, the court held that it is case of the undue influence and by it the consent is not a free consent. It is not contract and the appeal was rejected by the court. Relevance in world is introduced in India with the help of Indian Contract Law and by the cases in which the Hegelian philosophy has been mentioned. As the Hegel talked about the contract, the Indian legal system has also mentioned about the contract law and Hegelian theory has importance not only with the Indian legal system but in English legal system also. Hegel has mentioned 'consent' to the contract especially 'free consent'; it has great importance in both Indian contract Law and English Legal System. The English legal system has given a lot of emphasis on the consent in terms of contract to save the individuality. In Atlas v Kafko , carrier A agreed to carry B's certain goods at a certain rate, which was calculated by A on the basis that x cartons of B's goods could be carried per load. Finding that the calculation was wrong and knowing that B's survival in the business depended on the goods reaching an important customer, Woolworth Plc, A told B that A would not carry B's goods to W unless B paid twice rate. B was unable to find an alternative carrier within time and promised to pay the new rate. But later B refused to pay the difference money. A's action to recover that sum failed because B had agreed to pay under compulsion and under protest. The court held that it is a case of undue influence.
