Looking back, at the point in time when MAOCARO happened
to be changed and replaced by CARO, the pros and cons of the change was
subjected to a critical /analytical study in interested circles. In a published
article –, The Hindu Business Line : MAOCARO to CARO its writer
wrote saying, in effect, that the opportunity could have been seized and exploited to “simplify” the auditor’s report. May be, that is an angle
sounding attractive hence may have to be borne in mind , if so minded, before
the new proposal is given a shape and finally brought into being, for whatever
it is worth. Provided that is believed to help in any improvement, as aspired
from circles having independent and impartial outlook towards the widely and
loudly clamoured for,- the ultimate aim of ‘good governance’ in corporate
sector.

<> As is expected to be
known, whenever an extant law (specially, if it is the complete code, as
herein) that comes to be repealed and replaced by an entirely new law(code),
problems (legal cum practical) do inevitably arise,. That is precisely the
object behind in incorporating in the new code itself suitably framed
'Miscellaneous' provisions for easy and expeditious resolution; through mainly administrative instructions,
in the name of public circulars, directives, and the like.For one such
instance, refer Sec 297 and 298 of IT Act, 1961,by which the erstwhile, decades
old, 1922 Act came to be repealed.
Subject to looking up again, it
is believed that , the “transitional provisions” found a mention in the previous comment,
though said to be not exhaustive, do provide the safety-valve / holds the key for letting
off the steam, to prevent any otherwise possible but validly objectionable retroactive operation
of the new law.

The Companies (Removal Of Difficulties) Seventh Order - dated 4th Sept 2014
“In the
case of a Government company or any other company owned or controlled, DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY, by the Central Government, or by any State Government or
Governments, OR PARTLY BY the Central Government and PARTLY BY ONE OR MORE
State Governments,..”
On the
first blush, one is left with a serious doubt whether the substituted
provision, in terms, is adequate to remove in a wholesome manner, rather take
care of all possible or conceivable difficulties bound to be faced with. Such a
doubt arises if due regard be had to the inherent clumsiness/lack of clarity
surrounding the words in BOLD FONT and the wisdom gathered through past
experience and disputes centered on such words conventionally used in certain
other statutes; for instance, the law or income-tax.
Over to, besides law pundits at large, the concerned authorities, for an in-depth application of mind / prudent deliberation, sooner than later.
Over to, besides law pundits at large, the concerned authorities, for an in-depth application of mind / prudent deliberation, sooner than later.
Further, on a quick reflection, the other
crucial words, -OWNED or CONTROLLED , too may be recalled to be so deficient as
amenable to varying interpretation,leading to like controversies; reference is
to issues which surfaced in the wake of Vodafone and certain other topical
cases, and the ensuing long drawn litigation.

Last week’s Schumpeter column
in the Economist carries a provocative idea that involves a complete
relook at the way boards of companies are structured and operated. It
borrows a proposal from an article titled “Boards-R-Us: Reconceptualizing Corporate Boards” authored by two leading US corporate law academics. The column summarizes the proposal as follows:
In the May edition of the Stanford Law Review Stephen
Bainbridge of the University of California, Los Angeles, and Todd
Henderson of the University of Chicago offer a proposal for fixing
boards that goes beyond tinkering: replace individual directors with
professional-services firms. Companies, they point out, would never buy
legal services or management advice from people only willing to spare a
few hours a month. Why do they put up with the same arrangement from
board members? They argue for the creation of a new category of
professional firms: BSPs or Board Service Providers. Companies would
hire a company to provide it with “board services” in the same way that
it hires law firms or management consultants. The BSP would not only
supply the company with a full complement of board members. It would
also furnish it with its collective expertise, from the ability to
process huge quantities of information to specialist advice on things
such as mergers.

Paper on Corporate Insolvency Laws in India
Posted: 08 Aug 2014 03:53 AM PDT
Professor Kristin van Zwietenhas posted on SSRN a new paper titled “Corporate Rescue in India: The Influence of the Courts”, the abstract of which is as follows:
India
is poised for significant reform to its corporate insolvency laws,
including the introduction of a new rescue procedure. The reforms follow
two decades of sustained criticism of the law, critics complaining of
lengthy delays and a range of related costs in the disposal of
proceedings. This article focuses on the most notorious of India’s
existing insolvency procedures, a corporate rescue procedure established
under the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act 1985. On
the eve of its repeal, the article presents the results of an
investigation into how this Act operated over time, and why. Its central
contribution is to report new evidence of the influence of the courts
on the operation of the Act. The article reveals how key provisions of
the Act were interpreted and reinterpreted by judges in attempts to
rescue companies destined for liquidation, and to protect some of their
stakeholders (especially employees) in the interim. The evidence of
these innovations offers a new and compelling explanation for why the
rescue procedure became slow and costly. Acknowledging and understanding
the influence of the courts on the operation of this procedure may help
to guard against India’s new corporate rescue procedure suffering a
similar fate.

QThe bench said: "In this analysis, we hold that the place, situs or venue of judicial inquiry and trial of the offence must logically be restricted to where the drawee bank is located."
"An interpretation should not be imparted to Section 138 which will render it as a device of harassment, that is, by sending notices (about the bouncing of cheque under Section 138) from a place which has no casual connection with the transaction itself, and/or by presenting cheque(s) at any of the banks where the payee may have an account," the bench said.
"It is also now manifest that traders and businessmen have become reckless and incautious in extending credit where they would hereto fore have been extremely hesitant, solely because of the availability of redress by criminal proceedings," the bench said referring to the rapid increase in institution of cases under Section 138 of NI Act after it was made a criminal offense.
