Poor disposal practices of e-waste can lead to serious data breaches, as discarded electronic devices often contain sensitive personal and corporate information. Cybercriminals exploit these vulnerabilities through data recovery techniques, insider threats, and weak recycling processes. This chapter explores the intersection of cybersecurity and e-waste management, emphasizing the urgent need for secure disposal strategies to mitigate data privacy risks. The study highlights the various risks associated with improper e-waste disposal, including unauthorized data recovery, supply chain vulnerabilities, and regulatory gaps. It discusses the importance of adopting secure data erasure techniques such as cryptographic wiping, multiple-pass overwriting, and physical destruction of storage devices. Additionally, it underscores the role of certi ied e-waste recyclers in ensuring compliance with data protection standards and environmental regulations. Given the evolving landscape of digital security and sustainability, the chapter advocates for a comprehensive approach involving legal frameworks, corporate policies, and public awareness initiatives. Strengthening cybersecurity measures within e-waste management can help safeguard personal data, reduce identity theft risks, and support a more responsible digital ecosystem. Future strategies should focus on regulatory enforcement, technological advancements in secure disposal, and widespread education to promote sustainable and secure e-waste handling practices in India.

With courts burdened by massive pendency and procedural inefficiencies, ODR offers a technology-enabled alternative that integrates traditional Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods with digital tools such as video conferencing, electronic filings, digital signatures, and secure online platforms. This chapter critically examines the evolution, legal framework, institutional adoption, and technological architecture of ODR in India, highlighting its role in enhancing access to timely and affordable justice. The study analyses the statutory foundations supporting ODR, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, alongside judicial recognition of virtual hearings and electronic evidence. It further evaluates policy initiatives such as the NITI Aayog's ODR Policy Plan and sector-specific implementations by regulators like RBI, SEBI, and consumer dispute authorities. Emphasis is placed on the technological dimensions of ODR, including cybersecurity, data protection, digital authentication, artificial intelligence, and emerging applications of blockchain.

Women can now share in agricultural land, claim possession of agricultural land, seek compensation for unlawful dispossession from agricultural land, share in joint Hindu family property, gain control over property they acquired for their own benefit, have limited rights concerning the dwelling house, and stand as heirs in the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers Act. The Hindu Succession Amendment Act expanded the inheritance rights of Hindu women, other than some limited rights pronounced in a earlier act. This paper presents and discusses the theory and practice of the Hindu Succession Amendment Act by challenging some of the most common myths that persist in contemporary Indian society and by adding an empirical component to related policy debates. Looking at case studies in different states, it documents the status of Hindu women's rights under the Hindu Succession Amendment Act.

Its deployment ranges from enhancing cybersecurity infrastructure and predictive policing to facilitating sophisticated cyberattacks, such as deepfakes, autonomous phishing bots, AI-generated ransomware, and algorithmic manipulation. Simultaneously, AI systems themselves are increasingly being targeted by adversaries through techniques like data poisoning and adversarial attacks, exposing critical vulnerabilities. The legal and regulatory frameworks to govern such dual-use technology, however, remain fragmented and underdeveloped across jurisdictions. This paper undertakes a comparative legal analysis of the regulatory approaches to AI and cybercrime adopted by India, the European Union, and the United States. It identifies the key strengths and shortcomings of each model, examining the extent to which existing legal instruments address the attribution of liability, automated decision-making, and protection of digital rights in the context of AI-driven cyber threats. While the European Union moves towards a unified and risk-based approach through the proposed AI Act, the United States adopts a sectoral, innovation-driven model, and India grapples with regulatory vacuum amid fast-paced digital transformation. The paper aims to contribute to the discourse on harmonising AI governance with cybercrime control and proposes strategic legal reforms in India by drawing insights from global best practices and institutional experiences.
