PROPERTY LAW


Property law is the area of law which governs various kinds of ownership and tenancy in real estate property, within the common law legal system. In the civil law system, there is a distinction between movable and immovable property. Movable property corresponds to personal property, while immovable property corresponds to real estate or real property, and the related rights and obligations thereon.

It consists of amongst others, the following parameters:

Property rights and rights to people:
Property rights are rights over things enforceable against all other persons. By contrast, contractual rights are rights enforceable against particular persons. Property rights may, however, arise from a contract

Property rights and personal rights:
Property rights are also distinguished from personal rights. The dividing line between personal rights and property rights is not always easy to draw. For instance, is one's reputation property that can be commercially exploited by affording property rights to it? The question of the proprietary character of personal rights is particularly relevant in the case of rights over human tissue, organs and other body parts.

CRIMINAL LAW


Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime. It regulates social conduct and prescribes whatever is threatening, harmful, or otherwise endangering to the property, health, safety, and moral welfare of people. It includes the punishment of people who violate these laws. Criminal law varies according to jurisdiction, and differs from civil law, where emphasis is more on dispute resolution and victim compensation than on punishment.

The various essential Elements in Criminal Law can be described as follows: The criminal law generally prohibits undesirable acts. Thus, proof of a crime requires proof of some act. Scholars label this the requirement of an actus reus or guilty act. Some crimes – particularly modern regulatory offenses – require no more, and they are known as strict liability offenses (E.g. Under the Road traffic Act 1988 it is a strict liability offence to drive a vehicle with an alcohol concentration above the prescribed limit). Nevertheless, because of the potentially severe consequences of criminal conviction, judges at common law also sought proof of an intent to do some bad thing, the mens rea or guilty mind. As to crimes of which both actus reus and mens rea are requirements, judges have concluded that the elements must be present at precisely the same moment and it is not enough that they occurred sequentially at different times. Actus reus Actus reus is Latin for "guilty act" and is the physical element of committing a crime. It may be accomplished by an action, by threat of action, or exceptionally, by an omission to act, which is a legal duty to act. Mens rea Mens rea is another Latin phrase, meaning "guilty mind". This is the mental element of the crime. A guilty mind means an intention to commit some wrongful act. Intention under criminal law is separate from a person's motive (although motive does not exist in Scots law). Strict liability Strict liability can be described as criminal or civil liability not with standing the lack mens rea or intent by the defendant. Not all crimes require specific intent, and the threshold of culpability required may be reduced or demoted. For example, it might be sufficient to show that a defendant acted negligently, rather than intentionally or recklessly. In offenses of absolute liability, other than the prohibited act, it may not be necessary to show the act was intentional. Generally, crimes must include an intentional act, and "intent" is an element that must be proved in order to find a crime occurred. The idea of a "strict liability crime" is an oxymoron. The few exceptions are not truly crimes at all – but are administrative regulations and civil penalties created by statute, such as crimes against the traffic or highway code. Fatal offenses A murder, defined broadly, is an unlawful killing. Unlawful killing is probably the act most frequently targeted by the criminal law. In many jurisdictions, the crime of murder is divided into various gradations of severity, e.g., murder in the first degree, based on intent. Malice is a required element of murder. Manslaughter (Culpable Homicide in Scotland) is a lesser variety of killing committed in the absence of malice, brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished capacity. Involuntary manslaughter, where it is recognized, is a killing that lacks all but the most attenuated guilty intent, recklessness. However, Settled insanity is a possible defense. Personal offenses Many criminal codes protect the physical integrity of the body. 

The crime of battery is traditionally understood as an unlawful touching, although this does not include everyday knocks and jolts to which people silently consent as the result of presence in a crowd. Creating a fear of imminent battery is an assault, and also may give rise to criminal liability. Non-consensual intercourse, or rape, is a particularly egregious form of battery. Property offenses Main articles: Criminal damage, Criminal Trespass, Theft, Robbery, Extortion, Dacoity, Burglary and Fraud Property often is protected by the criminal law. Trespassing is unlawful entry onto the real property of another. Many criminal codes provide penalties for conversion, embezzlement, theft, all of which involve deprivations of the value of the property. Robbery is a theft by force. Fraud in the UK is a breach of the Fraud Act 2006 by false representation, by failure to disclose information or by abuse of position. Participatory offenses Some criminal codes criminalize association with a criminal venture or involvement in criminality that does not actually come to fruition. Some examples are aiding, abetting, conspiracy, and attempt. Mala in se v. mala prohibita While crimes are typically broken into degrees or classes to punish appropriately, all offenses can be divided into 'mala in se' and 'mala prohibita' laws. Both are Latin legal terms, mala in se meaning crimes that are thought to be inherently evil or morally wrong, and thus will be widely regarded as crimes regardless of jurisdiction. Mala in se offenses are felonies, property crimes, immoral acts and corrupt acts by public officials. Mala prohibita, on the other hand, refers to offenses that do not have wrongfulness associated with them. Parking in a restricted area, driving the wrong way down a one-way street, jaywalking or unlicensed fishing are examples of acts that are prohibited by statute, but without which are not considered wrong. Mala prohibita statutes are usually imposed strictly, as there does not need to be mens rea component for punishment under those offenses, just the act itself. For this reason, it can be argued that offenses that are mala prohibita are not really crimes at all.

CIVIL LAW


Civil law is a branch of the law. The law relating to civil wrongs and quasi-contracts is part of the civil law. The law of property is embraced by civil law. Civil law can, like criminal law, be divided into substantive law and procedural law. The rights and duties of individuals amongst themselves is the primary concern of civil law. It is often suggested that civil proceedings are taken for the purpose of obtaining compensation for injury, and may thus be distinguished from criminal proceedings, whose purpose is to inflict punishment. However, exemplary or punitive damages may be awarded in civil proceedings. It was also formerly possible for common informers to sue for a penalty in civil proceedings.

Civil law in broader sense is a branch of law which is the general part of private law. The basis for civil law lies in a civil code. Before enacting of codes, civil law could not be distinguished from private law. After that some special areas of private law began to develop, such as commercial law and labour law. Civil law itself has the general part. It consists of capacity and status.

The Civil Law can also be defined as body of rules that delineate private rights and remedies, and govern disputes between individuals in such areas as contracts, property, and Family Law; distinct from criminal or public law. Civil law systems, which trace their roots to ancient Rome, are governed by doctrines developed and compiled by legal scholars. Legislators and administrators in civil law countries use these doctrines to fashion a code by which all legal controversies are decided.

In a nut shell, the Civil law covers disputes between individuals, companies and sometimes local or central government. Civil law disputes are generally the cases in court that are not about breaking a criminal law. For example, disputes over business contracts or debts, or disputes between neighbours.

As a consequence of this, there has been a fast increment in the interest for house and house-destinations here. So as to oblige this expanding request, countless and Property Dealers have come into picture and have been framing private formats without taking after the obligatory methodology and necessity of law making the honest buyers to endure. To turn away this setback, it is vital that the expecting buyers of relentless property in Bangalore have some learning about the way of the property proposed to be obtained by them to spare themselves from the danger of putting resources into the steadfast property with no substantial and attractive title.

There are just two powers, which have been approved to support designs in and around Bangalore viz., Bangalore Development Authority [B.D.A.] and Bangalore Metropolitan Rural Development Authority [B.M.R.D.A]. While the BDA supports the design gets ready for development of formats in the terrains falling inside of the metropolitan ranges, BMRDA endorses format gets ready for arrangement of format in the grounds arranged in the edges of Bangalore. Getting endorsement for the area transformation and design development from BMRDA is less tedious, less costly and simpler when contrasted with methodology set around the BDA.

Complete advancement arrangement: For arranged improvement of a city, legitimate street system, parks, open space, urban civilities, and an appropriate affirmed design is essential. BDA is the power accountable for arranging and improvement to Bangalore Metropolitan Area. Complete Development Plan [CDP] is readied by BDA under the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961. The last CDP was arranged and affirmed by Government in the year 1995, which is still in power.

In such locales, power, water, sanitation and common luxuries won't be accessible to the site proprietors however giving of these offices are the obligatory necessities as imagined under the Karnataka Town Planning Act, 1961.

3.Sites assigned by Co-agent social orders subsequent to getting endorsement for arrangement of format from BDA or BMRDA alongside request of arrival of locales.

4.Sites shaped in the private design, affirmed by BDA or BMRDA alongside request of arrival of destinations.
