ANTICIPATION

Long have I been

They were to wait.

They searched for me all day

while I was in the woods far away.


Seasons came and ended

Snow softened with the smell of spring.

The mosses grew as the years blew

and they still anticipate with a sigh. 


I am a shadow in the doorway now

the contours of my absence already painted in the streets

long have they been waiting 

with lost hopes of my returning.


Greetings, I am a young legal professional and a proud Gorkha who’s eager as a morning bird, loves poetry and drama, listens to the Floyd and the Beatles, admires the court craft and is passionate about the little things that adds immense value.

The maintainability of an appeal before the high court or the Supreme Court depends on the narrow  determination/validity of issues of laws involved. The courts in appeal should be convinced that a  substantial question of law is involved for its indulgence into the matter and not mere question of  law. The legislation does not describe ‘Question of law’ and ‘Substantial question of Law’ but  judicial precedents overtime has shaped and differentiated its true meaning.

What is the test for determination on whether a Substantial Quest...

ARE SUBSIDARIES INCLUDED AS ASSETS OF THE PARENT COMPANY DURING INSOLVENCY.

Once a company goes into insolvency, the Resolution Professional (RP) is mandated to take over all the assets of the Corporate Debtor thereto but the IBC code imposes some statutory restrictions to the term ' assets ' stipulated under section 18 of the IBC code (herein after the code) Do subsidiaries come under the purview of insolvency of the parent shareholding company? It is a settled law that a subsidiary is a separate legal entity from its parent company as laid down by the celebrated english precedent in  Salomon v. A. Salomon & Co. Ltd. [1897] AC 22 . This foundational doctrine of a separate corporate personality has been consistently upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, most notably in the landmark case of Vodafone International Holdings BV v. Union of India, (2012) 6 SCC 613 , which has clarified that even a wholly-owned subsidiary does not lose its distinct identity and that its assets belong to it, not to its parent shareholder.  The statutory pro...
