ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Achieving a mile stone for any person alone is extremely difficult. However, there are
motivators who come across the curvaceous path like twinkling stars in the sky and make the
task much easier. It is my humble and foremost duty to acknowledge all of them.
Thanks, and acknowledgments are due to the ‘School of Law, ITM University, Raipur’; and
to my parents, who provided me an opportunity to complete my ‘post graduate studies’ by
granting me all possible help as and when required.
Thanks, and acknowledgements are also due to my supervisor, Mrs. Harsha Mishra, and to all
the faculty members, for their help and advice.
I would also like to thank my parents for their constant advice, encouragement and best
wishes.
