Doaba Publications has a rich legacy of academic publishing spanning over four decades, marked by a sustained commitment to scholarly excellence and interdisciplinary inquiry. Its journal publishing journey includes significant early works such as the Journal of Literary Criticism, including the special issue on Comparative Poetics (Vol. 6, No. 2, December 1983) and the special issue on Sanskrit Poetics and Western Criticism (December 1985). These publications laid a strong intellectual foundation in literary studies and critical theory.
This tradition of serious academic engagement has continued to evolve, extending into contemporary fields such as legal studies through the SGTU Law Journal. Vol. 1, Issue No. 1 (2024) features a wide-ranging collection of articles on important socio-legal issues, including stalking and voyeurism, science in policing and criminal justice, unethical clinical drug trials, same-sex marriage, passive euthanasia, disability and employment rights, climate action under SDG 13, the legal status of senior citizens, sexual violence against men, and mediation in insurance claims. The issue also includes a case commentary on Bilkis Yakub Rasool v. UOI, 2024 INSC 24.
Building on this foundation, SGTU Law Journal, Vol. 2, Issue No. 1 (2025) further broadens the scope of discussion by addressing pressing legal and policy concerns of national and global relevance. The issue includes articles on sustainable critical minerals governance, the transformation of waqf institutions and the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, pre-censorship and artistic freedom, the legal implications of the new space race, admissibility of electronic evidence, custodial violence, corporate responsibility across nations, procedural delays in adjournments, acquittals in POCSO cases, the dark web and its legal implications in India, and the functioning of Foreigners Tribunals in Assam. It also carries a case commentary on In Re: “City Hounded By Strays, Kids Pay Price”.
Together, these journals reflect the enduring vision of Doaba Publications: to promote rigorous academic dialogue, preserve intellectual traditions, and contribute meaningfully to contemporary scholarship across disciplines. From literary criticism to modern legal discourse, Doaba Publications continues to bridge tradition and relevance through its distinguished journal publishing programme.
