THE BLIND SPOTS OF INDIAN CORPORATE LAW: SHADOW TRADING, FRONT, RUNNING, AND INFORMATIONAL ASYMMETRY
Abstract
Indian securities law structures its prohibition of trading abuses around a single conceptual trigger: unpublished price sensitive information relating to a listed company and its securities. That framework works tolerably well for the classic case of an insider trading in his own company’shares. It works poorly and, to the point, not at all for the […]
Abstract
Investment treaty arbitration, built on the device of a standing offer to arbitrate contained in bilateral investment treaties (BITs), has become the principal means of resolving disputes between foreign investors and host States. This paper examines how that mechanism operates, why it was preferred to the available alternatives, and where its design now strains, particularly […]
Abstract
A prospectus is the instrument through which a company speaks to the investing public, and the law attaches liability to what it says and what it leaves out. This paper examines the civil, criminal and regulatory consequences of a misstatement in a prospectus under Chapter III of the Companies Act 2013, read with the securities-law […]
Abstract
India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) already runs on algorithms: returns are matched by machine, taxpayers are ranked by risk, and invoices are authenticated through a central portal. Within seven weeks in mid-2026, two High Courts quashed GST proceedings tainted by artificial intelligence (AI), and in doing so raised a question that tax law had […]
Abstract
Institutional arbitration is widely regarded as the preferred mode of resolving complex commercial disputes, yet arbitration in India remains dominated by ad hoc proceedings that depend heavily on the courts. This article examines why, despite successive reforms to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, institutional arbitration remains underutilised in domestic practice. It analyses three dimensions: […]
Abstract
The intersection of international commercial arbitration and competition law presents significant legal and regulatory challenges, particularly in disputes arising from transnational cartels. While arbitration offers an efficient, neutral and confidential mechanism for resolving cross-border commercial disputes, its consensual and private character raises concerns regarding the enforcement of mandatory competition laws designed to protect market integrity […]
Abstract
This article treats droit administratif as a legal technique as much as a body of French law. It traces the movement from the ancien régime’s suspicion of the judiciary, through the nineteenth-century habit of the administration judging itself, to the consolidation of the Conseil d’État as a true court after 1872, and it maps the […]
Abstract
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, has significantly reformed corporate debt recovery in India. A recurring challenge concerns the dual-capacity creditor, an entity that provides both financial loans and operational services to a single company, often securing both exposures with one shared asset. When a company enters liquidation, the law requires these hybrid claims to […]
Abstract
The transition from mechanically operated automobiles to software-defined and increasingly autonomous vehicles unsettles the conceptual foundations of product liability. A conventional product defect is ordinarily understood as a condition existing when a product leaves the manufacturer’s control; cybersecurity vulnerabilities, by contrast, may emerge after deployment, remain latent until exploited, propagate across an entire vehicle fleet, […]
Abstract
The problem of juvenile delinquency and drug abuse is one of the most intractable issues to face modern criminal justice systems, and is on the cusp of meeting four disciplines: criminology, adolescent psychology, public health, and child rights jurisprudence. This paper will examine the family, socioeconomic, psychological, and environmental factors that may put youth at […]
