Janpath New Delhi-110011 Tel. :23012708 April 5, 2013 FOREWORD With the launch of this edition, The Indian Student Law Review is taking yet another step forward towards its goal of improving the flow of ideas, knowledge and information. The Law Journal in its second year, has made an attempt to expand its reach by circulating this edition internationally, thereby reaching out to the avid learners of Indian law, world-over. At the outset, such an effort is commendable and deserves great praise. The most significant literature in the legal profession is in the hands of law students. It is my belief that a law school journal must act as a forum for the expression of views and ideas on issues, which need careful deliberation and discussion. It must inspire and train further, students, to undertake serious research and writing that will make a difference to them and to the society. The Indian Student Law Review is an entirely student driven initiative as the same has been conceptualised, formulated and executed by students. The Journal provides an annual opportunity to not only consider a range of legal issues, but also to think about the numerous ways in which we may argue about, and study the law. This publication is an opportunity for the students to enhance the depth of their understanding and knowledge of the law, and to push their academic and intellectual boundaries. i This edition carries in it, lectures, articles, notes, case comments and book reviews of a very wide spectrum from different fields of law. Justice P.Sathasivam, Judge, Supreme Court of India's, lecture on the Companies Act, provides a detailed picture about the prospective Companies Bill 2011, the social responsibilities of companies and also as regards the Competition Act, 2002. Justice F.M. Ibrahim Kalifulla, Judge, Supreme Court of India, has emphasised the significance and essence of ‘Law Day', through his article titled, "Law Day & the Evolution of our Constitution", by charting out the evolution of our Constitution, by way of analysing our great constituent assembly debates. Justice M. Jaichandren, Judge, Madras High Court, makes an excellent presentation of how the Corporate Social Responsibility model can be made effective and can aid people with disabilities. The combined work of the aforementioned distinguished academicians, legal luminaries and students, gives us a reason to believe, that the Indian Student Law Review will become an important forum for discourse in the field of law, combining years of wisdom and experience, with the vigour of youth and fresh thinking. I look forward to the Indian Student Law Review's contribution to the legal field, and am confident that in the future, this journal will invite the attention of legal scholars and experts from across the globe. I convey my congratulations to the Editorial board for all their efforts in bringing out this edition and wish them the best in their future endeavours. (DR. JUSTICE B.S. CHAUHAN) ii MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF PATRON At the outset I am very glad to know that the Second Volume of the Indian Student Law Review (ISLR) published by the students of the School of Excellence in Law of the Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University is ready for release. The maiden issue of the Indian Student Law Review has made such a nice impact that the Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University Journal (ALUJ) has taken a clue and formatted its publication on the lines of the Indian Student Law Review. On a positive note, this indicates the spontaneous move to change on the part of the Editorial Board of the ALUJ on one side as well as the quest for improving the standards of publications from the Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University. In this regard, I would like to place on record my sincere appreciation to the Editorial Boards of both the ALUJ and the Indian Student Law Review. The Second volume of the Indian Student Law Review has an article based on the Special Lecture delivered by Mr. Justice P. Sathasivam, Judge, Supreme Court of India, on the first C. Hari Krishnan Endowment Lecture on Corporate Law at the University last year. I sincerely hope that the best practice of publishing articles based on the special lectures organised at the Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University by eminent persons and experts get periodically published, both in the ALUJ and the Indian Student Law Review. Similarly, there is an article written by Mr. Justice F. M. Ibrahim Kalifulla to instil in the minds of young students of law and lawyers about the significance and essence of the ‘Law Day’.
