The passage of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992 provides constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and establishes a three-tier system of PRIs. It endows PRIs with powers and responsibilities to function as self-governing institutions and devolves powers to PRIs for economic development and social justice. As a result, over 2 lakh Panchayats have been constituted across India, manned by 34 lakh elected representatives, providing the broadest representative base in any country. However, the actual devolution of powers to Panchayats is left to state governments' discretion and the Act does not define the powers of gram sabhas.

May 26 allahabad high court rehab of migrantssabrangsabrang
This document is the summary of a public interest litigation case in India regarding migrant laborers traveling from their workplaces back to their home villages due to the COVID-19 lockdown. The petitioners argue that the governments failed to provide adequate support and arrangements for the migrant laborers, subjecting them to inhumane conditions on the roads and trains without food or water. The court notes that the Supreme Court is already addressing the transportation and food issues. The court orders the state government of Uttar Pradesh to explain their policies on providing medical facilities and treatment to migrant workers and stopping the spread of COVID-19 in rural areas, as well as their rehabilitation schemes to reduce future migration from the state for work.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

12/05/2020 1. In response to the directions contained in
paragraph 22 of the order dated 5th May 2020,
the State Government has made submissions in
the written submissions dated 12th May 2020.
Paragraphs 34 and 35 are the relevant
paragraphs. Though in the first part of
paragraph 35, it is stated that the Deputy
Commissioner, Ramanagar, while permitting
marriage function, ought to have specified the
number of persons permitted for the function
keeping in view the object of ensuring that there
is no crowding at any particular event, in the
next sentence, the State Government has
justified the action of the Deputy Commissioner
on the ground that there was no specific
prohibition on number of guests in the MHA
notification. The State Government has not
disclosed how many movement passes were
issued to enable the guests to attend the
function held on 17th April 2020. The learned
Additional Solicitor General of India appearing
for the Union of India seeks time to place the
response of the Central Government on record.
We grant time till next Monday, that is, 18th May
2020 to the Central Government to place the
response on record. We also extend time to the
State Government to place on record the details
of movement passes granted for the said
function.
2. In clause (v) of paragraph 34 of the written
submissions, the State Government has made a
policy statement regarding granting permissions
for holding of marriages. It is stated in clause
(iii) of paragraph 34 that in terms of the order of
1st May, 2020 of MHA, the marriages are allowed
as of date so long as requirements of
maintaining social distancing and maximum of
fifty guests are fulfilled.
3. Now, we deal with the issue of transportation

of the migrant workers who want to go back to
their respective places outside the State.
Reliance is placed on the order of the Ministry of
Home affairs, Government of India at Annexure-
R78 laying down the guidelines for transport of
such migrant workers. The written submissions
filed the State Government from paragraph 14
onwards deal with this issue. Though in the
written submissions, the State Government has
reiterated that the migrant workers from other
States will be permitted to travel back to their
respective States, even as of today, a large
number of migrant workers are found on
highways who are making an endeavor to walk
upto their respective States. One reason for this
is that the assurance of the State Government
that every migrant worker will be allowed to go
back to his home State has not reached the
migrant workers. They feel insecure about their
prospects of returning to their respective homes
and, therefore, in the entire State, we see a
scenario of the migrant workers walking on the
highways.
4. Our attention is invited to the protocol which
is required to be followed between the States for
transporting the migrant workers from one State
to another. Our attention is invited to the
correspondence made by the Nodal Officer for
the Migrants appointed by the State of
Karnataka with the Nodal Officer appointed by
the Government of Bihar. Annexure-R87 is the
letter dated 10th May 2020 addressed by the
Officer on Special Duty of the Government of
Bihar to the Nodal Officer appointed by the State
of Karnataka. It records the consent of the
Government of Bihar for allowing the transport
of stranded persons from the State of Karnataka
by special trains subject to the condition that
two trains per day be scheduled starting from
16th May 2020 to 20th May 2020 and subject to
the condition that the respective passenger
manifestos be shared in advance so that the
arrival stations in Bihar can be fixed. This means
that ten trains from the State of Karnataka will

Date of
Order Daily Order
be arranged from 16th May 2020 to 20th May
2020 for the benefit of the migrant workers from
Bihar to reach their State. By this time, the State
Government must have taken a decision
identifying the migrant workers who will travel
by these ten trains. The question is whether
those who have been identified to travel by
these special trains are made aware about the
facility which is extended to them.
5. Once there is a policy decision taken by the
State Government that all the migrant workers
from other States will be permitted to return to
their respective States by the special trains, the
assurance of the State Government must reach
the migrant workers, who have applied for
permission to travel. In fact, the entire list of the
persons who have applied to travel to other
States is available with the State Government as
all the migrant workers have registered
themselves on Seva Sindu portal.
6. As can be seen from the material placed on
record, the migrant workers are in a desperate
situation. As they have been deprived of
livelihood, they have made up their mind to go
back to their respective home States. The State
Government must ensure that its assurance that
every such migrant worker who has registered
himself will be allowed to go back to his own
State must reach the concerned migrant worker.
Perhaps if such an assurance is communicated
to the migrant workers, they will not be forced to
make an attempt to travel by road to their
respective States. The State Government must
take the help of all the Trade Unions and Non
Governmental Organisations (for short ‘NGOs’)
who are working in the field to ensure that the
assurance of the State reaches the migrant
workers who have already registered with the
State Government.

7. By way of a specific illustration, we may refer
to the migrant workers who want to go to the
State of Bihar. The State Government can always
inform through its agencies or NGOs or the
Unions to the migrant workers who are selected
to travel by ten special trains starting from 16th
March 2020 to 20th May 2020. The State must
assure that if large number of migrant workers
who wish to travel to a particular State are
located in one City, the State Government will be
arranging for transport from that City as well.
8. It is pointed out across the Bar that many of
the migrant workers who want to move back to
their respective States have not been paid
wages. The grievance about the non-payment of
the wages must be looked into by the State
Government and its agencies.
9. Another important issue is of the migrant
workers requiring to pay the train fare. As per
the order of the Ministry of Railways dated 2nd
May 2020, the State Government which arranges
for “Shramik” special trains is expected to pay
the train fare. In the State of Karnataka, the
policy of the State is to collect the train fare from
the migrant workers. In case of some States, the
concerned State Governments have agreed to
pay the train fares of the migrant workers who
are returning to the said States from the States
in which they are working.
10. Prima facie, it appears to us that considering
the constitutional rights of the migrant workers,
no one should be deprived of an opportunity to
go back to his own State only for the reason that
he has no capacity to pay for the transport. The
reason is that inability to pay is due to loss of

livelihood.
11. The Central Government through the Ministry
of Railways will have to look into this issue,
especially when the Home Secretary of the
Government of India by his letter dated 11th May
2020 addressed to the Chief Secretaries of all
the States has stated that the State
Governments should cooperate with the Central
Government for running more number of
“Shramik” special trains so that the traveling of
the migrant workers is facilitated at a faster rate.
Even in the last paragraph of the said letter, the
Home Secretary of the Central Government has
urged the Chief Secretaries to receive all
“Shramik” special trains without any hindrance
and facilitate faster movement of the migrant
workers to their native places. If the migrant
workers are unable to pay the train fare, it will be
impossible to facilitate their travel at a faster
rate. Therefore, apart from the Central
Government, even the State of Karnataka must
look into the issue and take immediate decision
on the question of paying railway fare of those
migrant workers who are not able to travel due
to their inability to pay.
12. The State Government and the Central
Government, during this difficult time, must
appreciate the major contribution made by the
migrant workers in a large number of public
projects as well as private projects which have
contributed to the improvement of the
infrastructure in all the States and the
improvement of economy. At a time when the
migrant workers who have made such a huge
contribution are facing distress, both the Central
and State Government must come forward to
help them to ensure that at the earliest, they
return back to their home States. Ideally, no
migrant worker should be deprived of an
opportunity to travel back to his home State if he
wishes to do so. Therefore, it will be appropriate

if the State Government immediately convenes a
meeting of all the Trade Unions, Employers’
Associations and NGOs in the State with a view
to ascertain whether any contribution can come
from the Employers’ Association, Trade Unions
and NGOs which can be used for bearing the
Train fares of the migrant workers who are not in
a position to pay the train fare.
13. Now that the migrant workers who wish to
travel back to their respective States have
registered themselves, the State Government is
made aware how many migrant workers want to
go back to different States. The State
Government must, therefore, work out a time
schedule for facilitating transport of these
migrant workers to their respective States. The
State Government should ensure that a broad
time schedule is communicated to the migrant
workers. The State can immediately do so in
case of the migrant workers of the State of
Bihar, who are going to be accommodated in the
special trains which will be run from 16th May
2020 to 20th May 2020. The Central and State
Government must find the solution on this issue
which will ensure that the rights of those
migrant workers who wish to go back to their
respective States are not infringed only because
they are in distress and are not in a position to
pay the traveling charges.
14. The responses of the State and the Central
Government on these aspects shall be placed on
record on the next date, that is, on 18th May
2020. The State Government must place on
record the details of the special trains so far
arranged from various places in the State of
Karnataka and the special trains which are
scheduled to run in near future.
15. Needless to add that considering the delay

involved in making available the traveling
facilities to the migrant workers, the State
Government must ensure that so long as the
migrant workers are not leaving the State, the
supply of ration/food to them remains
uninterrupted.
16. The State will have to also address the issue
of the facilities extended to the migrant workers
who are from the State of Karnataka and who are
working in other States. The State will also to
place its response on record regarding the
facilities extended to them for returning to the
State which will include the payment of train
fare. Necessary details such as requests
received by the State of Karnataka, steps taken
for repatriation of the migrant workers to
Karnataka etc., shall be also placed on record.
17. Our attention is invited to the letter dated 7th
May 2020 addressed by Shri Sharath
Bachegowda, a Member of Legislative Assembly.
The letter was addressed to the Chief Justice of
High Court of Karnataka. A copy of the letter be
supplied to the learned Additional Advocate
General so that the State can address the Court
on the next date.
18. Now turning to the issue regarding the
workers working on the project of Bengaluru
Metro Rail Corporation Limited (for short
‘BMRCL’), a written response has been filed by
the learned counsel appearing for the BMRCL.
During the course of hearing, we have indicated
to the learned counsel that better details are
required to be placed before the Court such as
the number of contractors engaged by BMRCL
and how many workers were working under a
particular contractor immediately before the
lockdown. Secondly, the figure of the number of
workers engaged as on 24th March 2020 will

have to be placed on record. Further, BMRCL
must place on record whether food and other
necessities of life are being supplied to those
workers who were working prior to lockdown
and who have not resumed the work.
19. Our attention is invited to a judgment of this
Court dated 18th August 2014 in Writ Petition
No.48094/2012 which specifically deals with
violation of the rights of the workmen working
on the metro rail project in Bengaluru. In
paragraph 11 of the written submission filed by
BMRCL, it is stated that the salaries have been
paid to the workers for a certain period. BMRCL
must also place on record compliance with the
directions contained in clause III of paragraph 5
of the said judgment and order. We also direct
BMRCL to state before the Court whether the
Monitoring Committee constituted under clause
I of paragraph 5 of the said judgment and order
has discharged the functions and duties
assigned to it in the context of what is stated in
clause II of paragraph 5 and paragraph 6 of the
said judgment and order.
20. The additional submissions shall be placed
on record by BMRCL in terms of the above
directions by 16th May 2020 so that this issue
can be considered by this Court on 18th May
2020.

the issues involved in this public interest

which is 18th May 2020.
