WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.

6. Due to New experiment of National Law University Model started in the form of
National Law School of India University Bangalore in 1987. We are able to attract the
talented and potential students for legal education

a. Interdisciplinary courses
• We are able to do interdisciplinary linkages and provide full fledged and
specialized degree courses/programs on :
• Law & Social Science
• Law & Commerce
• Law & Business Management
• Law & Science
• Law & Technology
But no law school in India able to launch full fledged degree programs on:
Natural Resources & Law
Medical Science & Law etc.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
6. b. Gaps between law in books and law in action
• We are also able to go on minimizing the gaps between law in books and law in
action like:
• Promoting the application of Clinical legal education
• Student internships during the course
• Faculty internships during the course
• Required inputs from the practicing lawyers, judges and law
officers/managers holding the leadership positions in the Corporate world.
• But the practice is followed mostly in National Law Universities and good
private law schools while in the govt. law schools and small private law
schools it is very rare.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
7. c. Curriculum as per the professional needs
• To 15% Law graduate producing schools are able to go on updating the
curriculum and syllabus as per the changing time.
• But the practice is very rare in the 85% Law graduate producing schools
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
8. d. Teaching of skills and outcome based process.
• It is very rare and depends on the institution and a particular faculty
• Law being a challenging professional course the entire focus should be on out
come based teaching-learning process and skill development.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
9. B-Challenges
1. Lack of full fledged refined and updated common curriculum at national level as per the need
of the hour.
2. Though the CDC of BCI and UGC provided the syllabus of some courses but that is neither
perfect nor updated even a single time since it was circulated by UGC 1997 and by the BCI in
2010.
3. Lack of professionally competent faculty
4. Lack of required library resources
5. Lack of proper utilization of technology in the teaching learning process
6. Difficult to retain good faculty due to big gaps between the salary of law teachers and the
corporate law professionals
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
10. B-Challenges cont..
7. Attitude of the most of the law schools and law teachers that just to provide a
degree than to create a professionally competent and skilled law professional
8. Attitude of the law students that just to get a degree than to transform
themselves into an excellent law professional
9. Lack of vision of professional bodies and their control on mushrooming of non-
competent law schools
10. Non Compliance of the most of the law schools of the BCI standards of Legal
education implemented in 2010
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun

producing Universities to make them comparable to the best in the world on a
Global Benchmark
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
12. C-Further up gradation and reforms-cont..
1) setting goals,
2) organizing the program of instruction,
3) delivering instruction, generally,
4) conducting experiential courses,
5) employing non-experiential methods of instruction,
6) assessing student learning, and
7) evaluating the success of the program of instruction.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
13. How to go ahead and What to be done.
-Setting Goals
1. Law schools should demonstrate a commitment to preparing their students for bar
examinations and for law practice.
2. They should engage in a continuing dialogue with academics, practitioners, judges,
licensing authorities, and the general public about how best to accomplish this goal.
3. Law schools should clearly articulate their educational goals and share them with
their students.
4. Law schools should shift from content-focused programs of instruction to outcomes-
focused programs of instruction that are concerned with what students will be able
to do and how they will do it, as well as what they will know on their first day in law
practice.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
14. How to go ahead and What to be done.
-Setting Goals- Cont…
5. The primary goal of legal education should be to develop competence, that is,
the ability to resolve legal problems effectively and responsibly.
6. Law schools should help students acquire:
a. the attributes of effective, responsible lawyers
b. including self reflection and lifelong learning skills,
c. intellectual and analytical skills,
d. core knowledge and understanding of law,
e. professional skills, and
f. professionalism.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
15. Organizing the Program of Instruction
1. Law schools should organize their curriculums to develop
knowledge, skills, and values progressively;
2. integrate the teaching of theory, doctrine, and practice; and
teach professionalism pervasively throughout all three/five years of
law school.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
16. Delivering Instruction
1. Law schools should use teaching methods that most effectively and efficiently achieve
desired educational objectives, employ context-based instruction throughout the program of
instruction, and employ best practices when using any instructional methodology.
2. Law schools should create and maintain healthy teaching and learning environments.
3. Law schools should enhance the quality of their programs of instruction with technology
and by making appropriate use of practicing lawyers and judges.
4. Law schools should have effective teacher development programs and establish learning
centers
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
17. Assessing Student Learning
Law schools should use best practices for assessing student learning, including
criteria-referenced
• assessments, multiple formative and summative assessments, and various
methods of assessment.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
18. Evaluating the Success of the Program of Instruction
1. Law schools should regularly evaluate their effectiveness and use best practices for
conducting such evaluations.
2. Many of the recommendations do not have cost or time implications, and others have none
beyond the initial effort involved in making the transition from current practices. It will
require hard work and, perhaps, additional or reallocated resources to implement some of
the recommendations.
3. We have no doubt, however, that the major impediment to reforming legal education is a
lack of vision and commitment, not a lack of resources.
4. Hopefully, this seminar provides some of the needed vision and will inspire more people to
become committed to implementing positive changes in legal education.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
19. Suggestions
1. Every disputed should be looked as a public interest dimension
2. 65 Skills which are fundamental to the success of a law profession are the outside
of the realm of Law. therefore the students should also be engaged in the other
interlinking areas.
3. Due to the growing importance of the mediation around 55% cases are settled
through mediation process.
4. For the demand of Social justice we should no more only rely on adversarial
system
5. No system can survive without a research & development. Therefore in-depth
research is required to see the dimension of socio-economic context.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
20. Suggestions cont…
6. To fill the gap of skill set required for a lawyer there should be one year diploma
program which every one aspiring to become a lawyer should pass
7. Continuing legal education should be given utmost importance to upgrade the
standards of Law teachers, lawyers and Judges
8. A comprehensive re-look of the entire legal education is required due to
globalization by a high power committee
9. Every state should have an academy of lawyers and emphasis should be given on
improving communication and research ability of the lawyers
10. A National level law teacher academy is required to be established to train and
upgrade the teaching standards of law teachers. Special emphasis should be given to
improve the skill of research, teaching and ethics.
Dr. Tabrez Ahmad, Director, College of Legal Studies, University of Petrolium & Energy Studies, Dehradun
21. Suggestions cont…
11. A diploma for the law teachers should be started to fill the gap of required
skills as a law teacher
12. We require a legal education Act passed by Parliament
13. We should establish a world class legal education and legal profession to
sustain the challenges posed by the Globalization and convert the threat into a
opportunity
