Is the Sanctity of Parliamentary Debate, Which Lies at the Core of Democratic Decision-Making, Being Compromised?

-
From the historical view where the core of parliamentary debates was based on public welfare, the utilitarianism principle where every individual was very much aware of being responsible for his/her words towards the public, their actions and reactions were under the basic rule. The decorum of parliament was maintained and the politicians were public servants thinking of a collective decision where the core value was to take a step in the public welfare way.

The 'sabha' and 'samiti' of the Vedic period, for instance, are indicative of consultative assemblies that played a role in governance. These bodie...

Cross-border , or international insolvency, refers to scenarios where a financially distressed debtor has assets and creditors spread across various jurisdictions . This predominantly concerns multinational corporations rather than individual bankruptcies, presenting unique challenges and considerations. The Jet Airways Case Study A prominent example of cross-border insolvency is the Jet Airways case. The airline found itself entangled in insolvency proceedings in both India and the Netherlands. Initially, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in India declared the Dutch proceedings void. However, a cooperation protocol was later established, identifying the Indian proceedings as the main proceedings and the Dutch proceedings as non-main proceedings. This case underscores the intricacies and judicial diplomacy required in cross-border insolvency matters. Key Challenges Jurisdictional Issues : Identifying the primary jurisdiction's court over insolvency proceedings remains a com...
