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 This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions.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.

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.
2. Introduction
• Prison is where the criminal equity framework put its whole expectations. The correctional
mechanism, if falls flat will make the entire criminal methodology futile. The regulation
behind discipline for a crime has been changed considerably by the advancement of new
human rights statutes. The idea of transformation has turned into the watchword for prison
organization. Human rights statutes advocate that no crime ought to be punished in a pitiless,
corrupting or in a cruel way. Despite what might be expected, it is held that any discipline that
adds up to remorseless, humiliating or brutal ought to be dealt with as an offence by itself.
The change caused to the criminal equity framework and its correctional mechanism has been
embraced around the world and question of incorporation of the same in Indian scenario
remains unanswered.
• Internationally, it turns into an all-round acknowledged decision that the correctional
mechanism in criminal equity organization ought to agree to reformative arrangements. It is
likewise announced that all prisoners might be approached with deference because of their
innate respect and incentive as human beings. There is an arrangement of rights distinguished
by the international legal framework to spare the human poise and estimation of prisoners and
thereby the reformative topic of rectification. It is additionally emphatically contended that
the group can never endure a plan of adjustment that does not keep up an association with the
evilness of the crime done. This discipline dependably keeps up a subjective point of view.
The privileges of the imprisoned individuals must be perused regardless of this observation. It
is genuinely implied that there can be changed disciplines for the same offence; however, one
ought not to be dealt awfully while the sentence once pronounced by the Court goes on. In
this domain, the rights ensured under the international legal framework are to be investigated
and are to be incorporated in India
3. Concept of Prison
• Prisons serve as an arm of criminal justice system to punish the
deviant behavior of a miscreant.
• John Locke, the great English political theorist of seventeenth-
century expressed that men were basically good, but laws were still
needed to keep down ‘the few desperate men in society’.
• The Online Oxford English dictionary defines prison as, “A building
to which people are legally committed as a punishment for a crime
or while awaiting trial” In our country “Prison” falls under State
subject in List II of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of
India. The administration of Prisons falls under the ambit the State
Governments and is administered by the Prisons Act, 1894 and the
Prison Manual of the respective State Governments. Thus, States
have the preliminary responsibility and authority to change the
current prison laws, rules and regulations.
4. Background
• The cutting-edge prison in India began with the Minute by TB Macaulay in 1835. A
committee to be specific Prison Discipline Committee was delegated, which
presented its report in 1838. The committee prescribed expanded thoroughness of
treatment while dismissing every single philanthropic need and changes for the
prisoners. Following the proposals of the Macaulay Committee between 1836-
1838, Central Prisons were developed from 1846.
• The contemporary Prison organization in India is consequently a heritage of British
run the show. It is in view of the thought that the best criminal code can be of little
use to a group unless there is great hardware for the curse of disciplines. In 1864,
the Second Commission of Inquiry into Jail Management and Discipline made
comparative suggestions as to the 1836 Committee. In addition, this Commission
made a few recommendations with respect to convenience for prisoners,
improvement in diet, clothing, bedding and therapeutic care.
• In 1888, the Fourth Jail Commission was designated. On the premise of its
suggestion, a consolidated prison bill was formulated. Arrangements with respect
to the jail offences and discipline were exceptionally analyzed by a meeting of
specialists on Jail Administration. In 1894, the draft charge moved toward
becoming law with the consent of the Governor General of India.
5. Prisons Act,1894
• The Prisons Act, 1894 is the only consolidated
framework with regards to jail management and
administration which operates across all parts of
India. This is an antediluvian act which operates
without any amends to it. This act, however,
failed to resolve certain issues. The loopholes in
the act were subsequently addressed in the
report of the Indian Jail Committee 1919-1920
pertaining to the rehabilitation and reformation
of offenders, which were recognized to be as the
key objective of prison administrator
6. Indian Jail Reform Committee
• In the year 1919-20, the Indian jail reform committee, appointed to
suggest prison reforms was headed by Sir Alexander Cardew. The
committee took a stand on an international perspective after
observing the condition of prison across the globe and laid down an
inference that prisons should not only have a deterrent effect but
also have a reformative approach. The committee emphasized the
need for a reformative approach to prison inmates and dejected the
use of corporal punishment in jails. It suggested the utilization of an
inmate in productive activities. The Committee underlined the need
for aftercare programs for the released prisoners for the purpose of
rehabilitation.
• As a measure of prison reform, the Jail Committee further
suggested that the maximum intake capacity of each jail should be
set, depending on its shape and size. In the meantime, there was an
outcry for retention of solitary confinement as a method of
punishment.
7. Government of India Act, 1935
• The Government of India Act,1935 is an
important legislative framework which
resulted in the transfer of the subject of jails
from the Center list to that under the control
and administration of provincial governments.
This further condensed the possibility of a
uniform prison policy at a national level.
Thereafter the States started having their own
prison policies, rules and procedure
8. The Reckless Report, 1951
• The Government of India invited the United
Nations expert on correctional work, Dr.
Reckless in the year 1951, to embark a study
on the prison administration and to
recommend policy reforms. He made a plea of
transforming jails into reformation centers
through this report titled “Jail Administration
in India”. Furthermore, he also laid emphasis
on modification to be made in the outdated
manuals.
9. Indian Committees and Acts
• During the post-independence era various
committees and acts have been constituted to
tackle the problems relating to prison
administration in India. The following entails
brief insight into all the important committees
and acts
10. All India Jail Manual Committee
• The Government of India in the year 1957 accorded its
assent to appoint All India jail manual committee to
prepare a model prison manual. The committee laid
down its submission in the year 1960. The report made
forceful pleas for formulating a uniform policy and
latest methods relating to jail administration,
probation, aftercare, juvenile and remand homes,
certified and reformatory school, borstal schools and
protective homes, suppression of immoral traffic, etc.
Moreover, the report suggested amendments in the
century old Prisons Act of 1894 to provide a legal base
for correctional work
11. Model Prison Manual
• The committee prepared the Model prison
manual and presented it to the Government
of India in 1960 for its implementation. The
manual is the basis on which the current
Indian prison management is regulated. The
Model prison manual paved way for the
Ministry of home affairs, Government of India
in the year 1972, to appoint a working group
on prisons.
12. Working Group on Prisons
• In 1972, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, appointed
a Working Group on Prisons which presented its report in 1973. This
Working Group brought out in its report the need for a National Policy on
Prisons. Its salient features are as under: –
• (1) To make effective use of alternatives to imprisonment as a measure of
sentencing policy.
• (2) Emphasized the desirability of proper training of prison personnel and
improvement in their service conditions.
• (3) To classify and treat the offenders scientifically and laid down
principles of follow-up and after-care procedures.
• (4) That the development of prisons and the correctional administration
should no longer remain divorced from the national development process
and the prison administration should be treated as an integral part of the
social defence components of the national planning process.
• (5) Identified an order of priority for the development of prison
administration
13. Mulla Committee
• In 1980, the Government of India set-up a Committee on Jail Reform,
under the chairmanship of Justice AN. Mulla. The basic objective of the
Committee was to review the laws, rules and regulations keeping in view
the overall objective of protecting society and rehabilitating offenders. The
Mulla Committee submitted its report in 1983. The All India Jail
Committee focuses on bringing equilibrium between States and Union
territories on the legal framework concerning prison administration.
• The Committee suggested setting up of a National Prison Commission as
an enduring body to bring about modernization of prisons in India. The
Committee also made a proposition that the existing dichotomy of prison
administration at Union and State level should be removed. It
recommended a total ban on the atrocious practice of associating
together juvenile offenders with hardened criminals in prisons. The
Committee also recommended separation of mentally disturbed prisoners
and their placement in mental asylums. Another recommendation of the
Jail Committee was a vis-à-vis classification of prisoners on the scientific
and rational basis.
14. Prominent recommendations of the Mulla
Committee are:
• The condition of prisons should be improved by making adequate arrangements
for food, clothing, sanitation, ventilation etc.
• The prison staff should be properly trained and organized into different cadres. It
would be advisable to constitute an All India Service called the Indian Prisons
&Correctional Service for recruitment of Prison officials.
• After-care, rehabilitation and probation should constitute an integral part of prison
service. Unfortunately, probation law is not being properly implemented in the
country.
• The media and public men should be allowed to visit prisons and allied
correctional institutions periodically so that public may have first-hand information
about conditions inside prisons and be willing to co-operate with prison officials in
rehabilitation work.
• Lodging of under trials in jail should be reduced to bare minimum and they should
be kept separate from the convicted prisoners. Since under trials constitute a
sizable portion of the prison population, their number can be reduced by speedy
trials and liberalization of bail provisions.
• The Government should make an Endeavour to provide adequate resources and
funds for prison reforms
15. Krishna Iyer Committee
• The Government of India in the year 1987
appointed the Krishna Iyer committee to carry
out a study on plight of the women prisoners
in India. It has recommended the induction of
more women in the police force with a view of
their special role in controlling women and
child offenders. The committee submitted its
report in the year 1988 to the Government of
India
16. Subsequent Developments
• The Supreme Court in Ramamurthy vs. State of Karnataka laid
directions to bring about a unified national consolidated framework
on prison laws and to prepare a draft model prison manual,
subsequently a committee was set up in the Bureau of Police
Research and Development (BPR&D).
• In 1999, a Draft Model Prisons Management Bill was circulated to
replace the Prisons Act, 1894 by the Government of India but the
bill is still limping to find its place.
• The All India Committee on Jail Reforms (1980-1983), the Supreme
Court of India and the Committee of empowerment of women
(2001-2002) have all pressed on the need for a comprehensive
revision of the prison laws but the process of revision and
implementation have a remorseful future.
