Course Name: CATCH 22 IN POLITICS

Course Code: T6299

(UG/PG): UG

Number of Credits: 4

Level: 4

Introduction

The term Catch 22 was coined by Joseph Heller in his novel of the same name in 1961. He used
the term to describe situations which are difficult to resolve or escape as the options are mutually
conflicting, resulting in situations where people are trapped due to contradictory rules and
values.Modern Nation states are supposed to be welfare states. But we live in an age where
politics appears to be devoid of ethics; where power politics are played out in the name of
humanitarian interventions, and where we are forced to question every act of the government and
judgment of the courts.

This paper will look into issues which make us as a civil society feel trapped because of
contradictory rules and interests.

Learning Objective(s):

1. This paper through current events will analyze and appraise various aspects of politics
2. Compare and contrast policies and decisions of various governments across the globe in
terms of parameters like ethics, morality, social justice, humanitarian interests and so on.

Pedagogy:

1. Interactive class discussions on every concept. Small class size


2. Use of articles, news clipping, videos, etc to further explain concept i.e. enable a practical
understanding of the concept.
3. Evaluations are conducted throughout the semester to ensure that the students’ learning
outcomes are appraised.

The term Catch 22 was coined by Joseph Heller in his novel of the same name in 1961. He used
the term to describe situations which are difficult to resolve or escape as the options are
mutually conflicting, resulting in situations where people are trapped due to contradictory rules

where politics appears to be devoid of ethics; where power politics are played out in the name
of humanitarian interventions, and where we are forced to question every act of the
government and judgment of the courts.
This paper will look into policy issues which make us as a civil society feel trapped because of
contradictory rules and interests.

Learning Objective(s):
3. This paper through current events will analyze and appraise various aspects of politics

terms of parameters like ethics, morality, social justice, humanitarian interests and so
on.

Assessment-1: Make/Solve a Puzzle

Your project is to create a Word Puzzle that will reinforce your ability to correctly spell
and remember the definitions of vocabulary words used in contract law. You must use
at least 20 terms/phrases/cases, but you may use more if the puzzle maker website allows.

You must bring two printed copies of your puzzle to class, which has to be approved by me. One copy
will be given to a
classmate to complete, and the other copy will be submitted to me.

First, go to the back to the concepts that you have studied and create a
list of at least 20 terms and definitions.
Then go to one of the following FREE websites to build your word puzzle. You may build
any type of puzzle you like: crossword puzzles, word jumbles, etc.

You will have to clearly state what laws apply in such a situation.
(iii) Analysis- From your understanding of the law, concepts and case laws, why or
how did you reach the reasoning? And what is your analysis of the issue
stated before? Any references to case laws studied.
(iv) Conclusion- Summation of the above and answering the issue.

Assement-3: Comparative Analysis

Important Instructions

What follows are the standards and norms I expect from you in your conduct relating to this course:

1. Regular attendance in the class is necessary. I will not repeat lectures or explain what we have
covered at an earlier date again, because you were absent in the said class. The onus is on the

Academic Year 2013-14 Page 9 of 5

Page 61
student to figure out what was covered in the class and come having read it. After which if the
student has any questions or clarifications, I shall answer, but only after the scheduled class.
2. You will note that I have assigned marks for class participation. Kindly note that the marks for
class participation is as per my assessment of you as a ‘participant’ in class. Asking question in
the class is not the only criterion for judgment. It will depend on how you conduct yourself
through the entire semester in terms of your work, assessment, performance, behaviour,
consideration of time, doing your homework and last but not the least doing the ungraded
assignments.
3. Unless you have a documented disability accommodation or have otherwise received my
express permission, I will not permit the use of laptops or any other electronic device in class.
4. When you are asked to read a judgment, I expect all of you to come prepared.
5. If I have circulated a reading, I expect you to have come reading it for the next class, we will
discuss and I shall clarify any doubts that you may have.
6. Every student is required to give me a notice of at least 3 days, if he is unable to give a
scheduled test.
7. Absences from tests or delay in submission will be condoned only for students who are
representing the college in an event or sport or extra-curricular activity or hospitalization or
death in the immediate family or marriage in the immediate family. This should also be
intimated to me. OTHERWISE NOT EXTENSION OF DEADLINE.
8. The following will not count as legitimate excuses for late assignments: “Printer problems”,
“bike had a puncture”, “pen drive or computer crashed”, “busy with other assignments”, “But I
emailed it”, “my dog ate it” or “I couldn’t get up on time”.
9. In case of surprise tests that I may conduct in class, please note that I do not take retest except
for aforementioned cases.
10. If you arrive late, leave during class time or depart early (without prior permission from me), it is
the professional equivalent of being absent. I WILL keep track of these “professional violations,”
and to the extent they exceed three occurrences YOUR GRADE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
11. We may not cover in class all the material assigned for a given class period, though you remain
responsible for reading and understanding all the material. Parts of the reading will be
background information that you will be expected to read, study and learn on your own. You are
welcome and encouraged to raise questions and doubts in class, or discuss with me outside of
class, questions on any assigned material.
12. Everyone is required to “accept invites” or add yourselves on ‘ACADLY’; all class and assessment
related announcements and any other related information will be posted on it. I suggest that
you familiarize yourself with the application.
13. You will note that the schedule I have shared with you is a general outlook how your semester
will look like for this course, kindly take note that I have deliberately left a few hours open from
the mandated 60 hours, as there ‘might’ be hiccups along the way.
14. If you need to bring anything to my notice, I am available on my email address and mobile.
There are times when I do not receive calls, but you may email me instead.
15. I am fairly regular and on time to classes, unless and until I have been given some
emergency/important work by the college or if I am debilitated because of illness. I usually try to
give prior notice for my absence.
16. Kindly note, I usually take extra classes on Saturdays or later in the evening on a weekday
(according to convenience of the majority), if I have been unable to take lectures due to college
work (eg: college related trips etc.). If you have a problem with this please discuss it with me in
person.
17. I am a fairly genial person even though a few may be intimated by my bark. Kindly note that if
you want to speak to me regarding any matter ranging from studies, roommate issues, hostel
life, landlord problems, demonetization, jobs, movies (with dialogs), music, Pune, or any other
matter which might have a legal temperament, please do get in touch with me. I have not
‘bitten’ any student in the past, so you are proverbially safe.
Academic Year 2013-14 Page 10 of 5

18. ABOVE ALL, please do not try to pull a fast one on me, just because you can. I expect civility (not
obedience) and willingness to learn when you are in my class.

Course Name:Family Law

Course Code: T1042

(UG/PG):UG, Semester 4

Number of Credits:4 (60 Hrs)

Level:3

Introduction

The course structure proposed here aims to provide adequate legal perspective to the basic
concepts relating to Family as an institution. It also aims to give an overview of some of the current
problems arising out of inequalities that are writ large in many of the Family related concepts. The
students are to be encouraged to view Family Law as not just a part of our Legal System based on
Personal Laws but also to as a vehicle of achieving democratic values enshrined in constitutional
directives in a progressive way.

Learning Objective(s):

1. Understand and appreciate the legal framework on which the institution of marriage is based
2. Understand the larger significance of the legalities of marriage as a part of the constitution of
India.
3. Grasp how family law can be used to bring about desirable social change.

Pedagogy:

Aim of employing interactive and dialogical methods will be to develop an ethos of reflection rather
than critical analysis. Teaching will be focused at explaining basic concepts with reference to
contextualizing doctrines with real life situations. Encouragement to trace actual case studies will
develop interest, enthusiasm and empathy. Assessment and feedback will be directly rewarding
understanding. Students will be asked to students being asked to argue cases based on Conflicting
points (Moot Court), or to draft a legal opinion about applicability of some legal provision to a factual
situation (Opinion Writing) and discussing articles or theme papers on various doctrines /cases to
initiate a critical analysis of the view expressed therein (Critical Comment). The students will also be
made to discuss and debate in class the latest amendments in the law. Students will also be shown
selected documentaries to increase their understanding on the subject. Students will also be taken
on a visit to the local family court to observe legal proceedings.
