Size of Act must be large enough (Law)

 §1. Parliament draft laws which are necessary for running the country within the frame of Constitution. Let us say constitution reflects the society and its values which it wants to realize.

§2. The problem of incomplete contract is about the inability of contract framers to envision each and every possible future events within premises of contract. As contract is framed to avoid dead weight loss and to facilitate the efficient exchange of promises. Revision of such contracts to accommodate new conditions requires additional cost. 

§3. In legal premise, Act formulated by legislation can be viewed as social contract. It is unlike private law to be enforced, agreement among people of the country. To formulate such, people elect the most capable person among themselves. Rules and regulations are often left to be articulated by administrators. Rules are for implementation purposes rather than to formulate principles and basic understandings.

§4. Hence, the Act to be formed by legislators must be argued enough, to encompass all conditions to address all circumstances in the future that can arise out of such agreed terms in the society. There is always problem of incomplete contract in such Acts. Rules driven laws bear the huge cost in the country due to incomplete contract. Cost of revision of such contract will be minimal compared to social cost due to such incomplete contracts.

Hindu Jurisprudence- Smriti And some property law

I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...

Sabda Bramha-Words are everything

They say Om is Sabda Bramha Vayu is Pratakshya Bramha I(Aatma) am Bramha I am the essence Sounds and letters ignite the mind They are capable of saying new things to mind Though not against Rit of the Bramhanda But they dont repeat they enlighten If that word be Om or Ram or Radha or Radhe or Bramha or Agni or Indra or Savita or ...

Dharma - Nyaya

(To clear my thought process ) Dharma is that which bears, that which provides stability to a thing, a person, or a nation in motion. Nyaya is specific to the individual; A person who abides in Dharma may still be affected by the Adharma of another who fails to uphold it then the State/Society must inject Nyaya to tha specific person or group or even state. Jurisprudence (in my limited understanding and information ) could not ditinguish between these two concepts and confused it with morale, divine rule, command, society, economics etc. These two are related, but Dharma is what guides the Naya but here it has nothing to do with legal system, it is independent and move with truth, whereas Naya alone requires legal system. Hence, Jurisprudence has long divorced its essence of Dharma (somehow natural school using reason could hover around truth) and focus on legal system alone. ..................
