Question 1: [50 marks]

You are an Assistant Professor at the OP Jindal Global Law School. The Executive Dean of the Law School has asked you to develop a comparative research project involving the concept of due process as embodied in US Constitutional Law and in Indias Constitutional Law. As a first step, he wants you to write a report explaining the fundamentals of comparative research and how it can be employed in this research project.

In other words, you are NOT to write in detail about how due process operates in the two legal systems, rather your focus should be on how the comparative method can be utilized to understand the nitty-gritty of the due process in the two legal systems.
