Synopsis On Annual General Meeting/Extra Ordinary General Meeting With Ordinary And Special Businesses And Ordinary And Special Resolutions with Companies (Postal Ballot) Regulations, 2018
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.

Any estate planning attorney has his or her share
of horror stories from years of working with
clients to create an estate plan.
4. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Whether its issues regarding
ownership of property or family
disputes of a loved one's estate.
5. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Or, if they do create a plan, they
don't consider all of the potential
issues that may arise. The reality is,
even the most basic estate plan can
go a long way toward avoiding
family conflict.

AN IMPORTANT TIP ABOUT YOUR
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
7. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Regardless of how many assets you have, you should
obtain an estate planning attorney to draft an
appropriate will to ensure that your family, and the
court, have a clear roadmap for how you want your
estate handled.
8. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Always REMEMBER that the value
of an asset is not always seen in
terms of money. Some property will
have more of a sentimental value.
9. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Discuss the value of certain assets
with your family ahead of time to
avoid problems in the future if you
leave that property to the "wrong"
person.

AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION WHEN
DRAFTING A WILL
11. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Never rely solely on your expectation that
your children will be able to decide who gets
what.
12. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
In many cases, money and property
can divide a family quicker than
anything else.
13. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
You should not assume that your
family will simply accept every
provision you include in your WILL.
Do your best to discuss potential
areas of conflict with them while
you are still able to do so.
14. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Don't forget to review you will every
few years, or whenever there is a
major change in your life
circumstances, such as the addition
of new family members, divorce, or
changes in you financial situation.

19. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Trusts are usually complicated estate
planning instruments which, if not handle
properly, may not be valid.
20. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
The best thing to do is seek the
assistance of an estate planning
attorney who will understand the
tax consequences and benefits of
the various types of trusts.
21. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560

successor trustee along with your
primary trustee. There are various
reasons your chosen trustee may

in the future.
23. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560

The possibility of incapacity is
always there. Just in case, you need
to choose a trusted friend, associate,
or family member to have power of
attorney over your affairs in case
you become incapacitated.
25. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
This is a tremendously powerful
appointment, as the person you
choose will have the ability to make
most of the financial decisions that
you would normally make, so trust
is of the utmost importance.
26. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR
HEALTH CARE
27. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Also, do not neglect the need to address
your medical care, as well as your financial
affairs.
28. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
A health care power of attorney, just
like a financial power of attorney,
gives your agent the authority to
make health care decisions on your
behalf.
29. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
AVOID THIS MISTAKE WITH DURABLE
POWERS OF ATTORNEY
30. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
Do not assume that your spouse will simply
take over and handle things for you if you
become incapacitated.
31. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
It is possible that your spouse won't
be available. For instance, if you
are both injured in a car accident
and both are incapacitated then you
will need someone to handle your
affairs.
32. 7616 LBJ Freeway #120, Dallas, TX 75251Phone: (972) 386-4560
If at all possible, your financial
power of attorney and your
healthcare power of attorney should
not be the same person. That way,
no one person will have nearly
complete control over your future.
