 CODE OF CONDUCT — SYMBIOSIS INTERNATIONAL (DEEMED UNIVERSITY)

Article 1: PREAMBLE :
The student code of conduct [Code] is established to foster and protect the core missions
of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University) Pune , to foster the scholarly and civic
development of the University's students in a safe and secure learning environment, and
to protect the people, properties and processes that support the University and its
missions. However, the establishment and maintenance of a community where there is
freedom to teach and to learn is dependent on maintaining an appropriate sense of order
that allows for the pursuit of these objectives in an environment that is both safe and free
of invidious disruption. Rules and regulations are necessary to mark the boundaries of this
needed order.

Article 2: APPLICABILITY :
The Code is applicable to all students, which includes all persons taking programmes at
various constituent institutes of the University, either full-time or part-time, pursuing
undergraduate, graduate, professional studies. Persons who withdraw after allegedly
violating the Code, who are not officially enrolled for a particular semester or term, but
have a continuing relationship with the University, or who have been notified of their
acceptance for admission are considered as “students”. The Code applies to all locations
of the University.

Article 3: JURISDICTION : The Code applies to the on-campus conduct of all

Students at all the location / campus of the University.

The code also applies to the off-campus conduct of students in direct connection with:
 Academic course requirements or any credit-bearing experiences, such as
 internships, field trips, study abroad / student exchange; 
 Any activity supporting pursuit of a degree, such as research at another institution
 or a professional practice assignment; 
 Any activity sponsored, conducted, or authorized by the university or by
 registered student organizations; 
 Any activity that causes substantial destruction of property belonging to the
university or members of the university community or causes serious harm to the
 health or safety of members of the university community; or 
  Any activity in which a police report has been filed, a summons or indictment has
been issued, or an arrest has occurred for any act or omission. Students continue
to be subject to the laws of the land while at the university; and violations of
those laws may also constitute violations of the code. In such instances, the
university may proceed with university disciplinary action under the code
independently of any criminal proceeding involving the same conduct and may
impose sanctions for violation of the code even if such criminal proceeding is not
yet resolved.

Article 4: RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENTS :

Students are members of the University community and citizens of the state. As citizens,
students are responsible to the community of which they are a part, and, as students, they
are responsible to the academic community of the University.

Admission to the University carries with it the presumption that students will conduct
themselves as responsible members of the academic community. As a condition of
enrollment, all students assume responsibility to observe standards of conduct that will
contribute to the pursuit of academic goals and to the welfare of the academic
community. They are expected to practice high standards of academic and professional
honesty and integrity and also to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other
members of the academic community and the Society. They should refrain from any
conduct that would interfere with University functions or endanger the health, welfare, or
safety of other persons.

As a citizen of State, a student should not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed,
age, religion, gender, national or ethnic origin, marital status, sexual preference, physical
disability, or any other legally protected status. They should at all times conduct

LAW OF CRIMES PAPER II: CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE I

Course Name: Law of Crimes Paper II: Criminal Procedure Code I

UG/PG: UG

Number of Credits: 4

Level: 2

Objective: The criminal process involves in increasing expenditure of government

resources. At the same time, it confronts a crisis of intrusion into the individual rights in
order to protect the common weal. Obviously, Criminal Procedure has to be just, fair
and reasonable to the accused as well as to the victims. Undoubtedly the process is to
be carried out in an objective manner. Criminal Procedure thus makes a balance of
conflicting interests. This imposes a duty upon those connected with the working of the
criminal process to abide by the law and to exercise discretion conferred on them in the
best manner. Code of Criminal Procedure, originally enacted years ago, had undergone
many trials and experiments, too enormous to be placed within a classroom discussion.
However, the students should obtain a fair idea how the code works as the main spring
of the criminal justice delivery system and should be exposed to the significant riddles
of the procedure. Juvenile justice and probation of offenders are combined with the
study of criminal procedure. These topics also do have their roots in the criminal
procedure. The rubric under this head is intended to render an essential grasp of the
areas.

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Course Name:
UG/PG: UG

Number of Credits: 4

Level: 2

Objectives: Today, the functions of State are not limited only to maintenance of
law and order, adjudicating upon disputes and regulation of economic and social
life of individuals and groups. In addition to this, the modern State is also the
Protector, Provider, and Entrepreneur. The assumption of unprecedented
responsibility by the state has necessitated delegation of authority to numerous
State functionaries. The number of functionaries in carrying out these tasks has
ever been on the increase. The aggregate of such functionaries is an essential
component of modern administration. A formidable body of law has come into
existence for the purpose of exercising control over administration. For long,
administrative lawyers have primarily been concerned with such matters as
excess or abuse of power, mal-administration and abuse of discretion. However,
in recent years there has been a shift in emphasis from finding what the
administration may not do to what it must do.
Through this course on Administrative Law, students will understand the
structure and modus operandi of administration, the developmental
perspectives and attainment of social welfare objectives through bureaucratic
process. The role of the court in balancing the rights of individuals vis-a-vis the
administrative power and functions of State and the matters, is by facilitating or
hindering the attainment of these objectives.

Interpretation of Statutes

Course Name:
UG/PG: UG

Number of Credits: 2

Level: 2

Objectives:Interpretation is not peculiar to legal texts. Situated within the broader

framework of hermeneutics the interpretations of texts as a discipline is as ancient as
thought itself, beginning with the ancient Greeks. That said the interpretation of law is
in many ways distinctive.

The distinctive features of legal interpretation, more specifically statutory

interpretation, are contained within certain canonical rules that emerged out of
decisions of the English Courts. Traditionally stating and illustrating the application of
the rule using case law cover the course. The present course, however, includes not just
that but also an inquiry in to the epistemological foundations of legal interpretation. It
discusses various jurisprudential accounts that seek to justify legal interpretation in its
varied forms.

Further, the course is purposively discursive; it contains certain accounts usually

covered by ‘methods’ and not ‘interpretation’; say, such as a discussion of the forward
and backward looking aspect of precedent, the determining of ‘ratio’ by subsequent
forums; both of which are interpretive accounts not usually covered by the traditional
approach. The point being to acquaint learners with the myriad interpretive techniques
employed in adjudication.

Course Name: Law of Crimes Paper III: Criminal Procedure Code II

UG/PG: UG

Number of Credits: 4

Level: 2

Objective: The criminal process results in increasing expenditure from

government resources. At the same time, it confronts a crisis of intrusion into
the individual rights in order to protect the commonwealth. Obviously, Criminal
Procedure has to be just, fair, and reasonable to the accused as well as to the
victims. Undoubtedly the process is to be carried out in an objective manner.
Criminal Procedure, thus, makes a balance of conflicting interests. This imposes
a duty upon those connected with the working of the criminal process to abide
by the law and to exercise discretion conferred on them in the best manner.
Code of Criminal Procedure, originally enacted years ago, had undergone many
trials and experiments, too enormous to be placed within a classroom
discussion. However, the students should obtain a fair idea of how the Code
works as the mainspring of the criminal justice delivery system and should be
exposed to the significant riddles of the procedure. Juvenile Justice and
Probation of Offenders are combined with the study of criminal procedure.
These topics also have their roots in the criminal procedure. The rubrics under
their head are intended to render an essential grasp of the areas.
