Season’s Greetings!
I am glad to announce the publication of the Vol. 17 No. 01 issue of the Indian Journal
of Law and Justice. The Indian Journal of Law and Justice has come a long way in the
last decade, from being a national law journal to being an internationally acclaimed
journal and from being a mere print version to having a website of its own, namely
ijlj.nbu.ac.in. Along with being enlisted by the UGC CARE, the journal is proudly
indexed with the esteemed SCOPUS, along with HeinOnline and EBSCO. Innumerable
scholars, academicians and professionals from the field of law as well as other social
sciences sectors have been relying on this journal for their scholarly publications and
have played a pivotal role in their early career success. I, along with my highly efficient
editorial team, pledge to build on the legacy of this journal. We are making an
endeavour to accept online submissions of articles and research papers to improve and
expedite peer review. We, as a team, shall continue to remain committed to making it a
forum that welcomes scholarship from a diverse and global group of authors, whose
ideas are at the cutting edge of law and policy research.
Keeping the trend of the Indian Journal of Law and Justice, authors across the globe
have contributed on varied topical matters and raised relevant and pressing questions in
their papers to enrich the journal. The current issue gives a glimpse into international
and national issues. The current issue highlights the legal strategies for Women’s
Empowerment in Bangladesh, the evaluation of the provisions of the Nigerian Official
Secrets Act and Freedom of the Press, Governance of Public Procurement in India,
Legal Rights on Frozen Embryos, Abortion Jurisprudence after the 2021 MTP

I thank all contributors for their submissions to this edition and their cooperation with
the editorial team during the production phase. I express my gratitude again to the
entire Editorial Team, whose commitment and perseverance made this publication
possible.
