Biography

Absar Aftab Absar is an Assistant Professor at Aligarh Muslim University Malappuram Centre, Kerela. Earlier before this engagement, he was an Assistant Professor at Lloyd Law College, Greater Noida, where he worked for a period of two and a half years. He has completed his B.A.LL.

He has a specialization in Criminal laws and a special interest in Restorative justice theory. The topics of his LL.M. Dissertation were “ Rape Laws of India and Saudi Arabia – A Comparative Analysis” and his Ph.D. thesis is “Doctrines of Plea Bargaining and Diyya – Islamic and Restorative Perspectives” are in a way unique as both of them there has not been extensive research and credit goes to Absar for carrying out an authentic first-hand study of both the topics. Apart from this, he has extensive research on Plea Bargaining(a criminal law model of solving cases akin to restorative justice) in various countries especially the United States which is considered a pioneer in the same Restorative Justice Theory. He has authored various articles the titles of some of which are “Plea Bargaining in India – An Appraisal”, “Restorative Justice in Islam with special reference to the concept of Diyya”, “ Plea Bargaining and its status of implementation in India”, “ Islamic Criminal Justice System and the Concept of Equity” amongst others. He has the distinction of getting one of the articles published in the highly acclaimed SAGE Publications and one more article has been submitted for consideration for publication. He is currently engaged in Criminal Law (IPC), Environmental Law, Cyber Laws, Law and Development, and Administrative Law which are one of the most demanding subjects of today. He believes in an interactive style of teaching and deploys various teaching aids to make the classroom more interesting and keep the students engaged.

Vision

Absar believes in researching new dimensions of Criminal Law and considers it important as no society is free of Crime, but crime if met effectively with a swift and certain Penal procedure can considerably be curtailed. He has through his research added a new dimension to the Indian Penal Policy by effectively comparing it with Restorative Justice Theory which has gained momentum in the contemporary Era. Absar has also researched the Islamic Criminal Laws and has compared them with some aspects of the Indian Law as well as laws of other progressive nations. His vision is to provide a blueprint of an effective criminal justice system where the punishment would be swift and certain and keep in mind the utmost interests of victims of crime.

Experience

Since February 2019 working as Assistant Professor in Lloyd Law College, Knowledge Park II, Greater Noida - 201306 (U. P.), India. Subjects taught to B.A.LL.B (Honours) students during the Academic Session 2019 - 2020 & 2020 - 2021 included Law and Media and Criminology and Penology. Law and Media was a new course for the applicant, who accepted the challenge of teaching this subject. The study material was readily available in the form of both print media and electronic media. The classes on both subjects were mostly interactive and students, in general, showed interest in classes. Teaching these papers was really a good and satisfying experience for the applicant. Students, in general, expressed contentment with the way the course was taken up and this was reflected by 95% of the students passing the course with good grades.

In September 2021, Absar got selected for the Aligarh Muslim University Malappuram Centre, Kerela for the role of Assistant Professor ( Contractual) and is currently engaged there, where he had taught a variety of subjects. He is also a member of the two committees of the Centre which are, the Health and Hygiene Committee and the Legal Aid Cell. 

The applicant did not get an opportunity yet to supervise post-graduate students as the college he has been teaching at takes up only B.A.LL.B (Honours) and LL.B (Honours) courses. Personally, the applicant is interested in Criminal Law, Comparative Criminal Law, Criminology, Constitutional Law, and Law of Tort.
