OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Clause I: Comprehensive Declaration of Originality and Exclusivity By submitting your legal research, article, or case comment to the Joint Jurist  you are entering into a formal agreement regarding the exclusivity of your work. Every author must solemnly declare that the manuscript being provided is their original creation and has not been published, or even submitted for review, to any other platform anywhere in the world. This includes all online websites, printed magazines, domestic or international law journals, academic periodicals, personal or professional blogs, e-books, or any other digital or offline medium where a paper can be accessed by the public. The Journal takes the issue of “Double Submission” very seriously because it wastes the valuable time of our peer-reviewers and editorial board members who work hard to maintain the journal’s standards. If an author sends the same paper to two different places at the same time, it is considered a major ethical violation in the academic world. Therefore, once you hit the submit button, you are confirming that Joint Jurist  is the only place where your paper is being considered for publication.

 Clause II: The Binding Nature of the No-Withdrawal Mandate The administrative framework of the Joint Jurist  is built on the principle of professional commitment. Once a manuscript has been officially submitted to our editorial desk, it is immediately entered into our database and assigned to a specific editor for a preliminary plagiarism check and quality assessment. Because of the technical and human resources involved in this immediate action, the Journal follows a strict policy where a paper, once submitted, cannot be withdrawn for any reason whatsoever. We expect all authors—whether they are students, advocates, or scholars—to be 100% sure about their work before sending it to us. We do not entertain requests for withdrawal based on personal changes of mind, better opportunities elsewhere, or simple mistakes in the draft. This “No-Withdrawal” rule ensures that our editorial workflow remains smooth and that we can focus our energy on serious contributors who value the platform we provide. We believe that professional writing requires a high level of responsibility, and this mandate is in place to encourage a culture of dedicated legal scholarship.
 Clause III: Authorized Withdrawal Windows and Necessary Conditions While our rules are strict, we also believe in being fair to the authors who contribute to our journal. There are only two specific situations where we allow an author to formally request a withdrawal of their paper from our consideration. First, we respect your time; therefore, if the Joint Jurist  fails to provide you with any response—whether it is a selection letter, a rejection notice, or a request for revisions—within 3 working days from the date of your submission, you have the right to withdraw your paper without any questions asked. Second, if you still wish to withdraw your paper after this 3-day window has passed and the review process is already in an advanced stage, you may only do so by paying a mandatory administrative penalty of 350 Rupees. Without fulfilling one of these two conditions, a paper is legally considered to be under the permanent control of the Journal until a final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief.
 Clause IV: Enforcement Rights and Consequences of Policy Violation In the event that an author attempts to withdraw their paper in a way that violates the rules mentioned above, the Joint Jurist reserves the full right to take disciplinary and legal actions to protect its interests. If a breach of this policy occurs, the Journal has the discretionary power to blacklist the author(s) permanently, meaning they will never be allowed to publish with us again in the future. Furthermore, if a withdrawal is done in bad faith or without paying the required penalty, the Journal retains the right to use, archive, or publish the paper as it deems fit, as the author has failed to follow the agreed-upon submission contract. We may also charge the penalty of 350 Rupees as a fine for the loss of editorial time. In extreme cases of professional misconduct, such as submitting a paper that is already published elsewhere, the Journal and the Publisher, Advocate Suraj Shandil, may initiate formal legal proceedings against the author(s) under the laws currently in force. These measures are necessary to ensure that the academic community remains a place of honesty and mutual respect.
