3. Read the passage and make a summary in one-third of its length and give a suitable title.
Lawyers (I confess I am one of them) are supposed to be governed by a code of conduct called legal
ethics, a term often compared to such oxymorons as military intelligence and political wisdom.
Indeed, the code of legal ethics is open to varying interpretations, most of which permit a great deal of
questionable behavior. But this does not distinguish it from any other set of rules by which human
conduct is supposed to be governed. Like all such rules, legal ethics are often more honoured in the
breach than in the observance.
Conduct is governed by values insofar as it is governed at all. The code of legal ethics, like law itself,
is a package of values reduced to writing, codified, and imposed upon people by the coercive power
of government. But mostly, values are not so much what is written in statutes, or even what we think
consciously, as they are what we have internalized in the process of living. My parents taught me
certain values, some by what they said, more by what they did. Some of the early values that still
remain with me are those I learned through association. I grew up with a bunch of hard-playing, hard-
fighting, mischievous, fiercely loyal country boys. To this day I find within myself such principles as,
‘Stand up for your friends, no matter what it costs you,’ ‘Play to win,’ ‘Never snitch.’
In addition to teachings, example by conduct, and associations, I also internalized values through what
I can only call ‘inspiration’. It came most powerfully via a combination of great teachings and great
living: Buddha, Christ, Ramakrishna, for example, or Lincoln and Gandhi in the sphere of politics.
Inspired values also came to me from great thought expressed through great art, as in Whitman,
Wordsworth, Emerson, Thoreau. These inspirational figures had in common an inner law that
completely governed their behavior without regard to, and often in derogation of, the laws and values
of their time.
Page-1/2
Law imposes the values of some segment of the population upon all the rest of the population. In a
democracy it is one form of the ‘tyranny of the majority’ or, all too often, the tyranny of an
economically or politically powerful minority. This is why Emerson said in Self-Reliance, ‘Good men
must not obey the laws too well,’ why Jesus drove the money changers from the temple. Law is often
corrupt, and it is always weak just insofar as its values are imposed from without rather than grown

from within by teachings, the conduct of others, associations or inspiration. If the values of the law
are not my values, I will break the law, and so will many people much of the time, all people some of
the time, and some people all of the time.
.
Unfortunately, at the present stage of its development humanity is incapable of achieving order
without law. One group’s idea of order is another’s idea of oppression, and so prisons brim with
people who are legally ‘criminals’ but who have done no external harm.
.
Nevertheless, although this is the law at its worst, law is the servant of order, and order in society is
the root value beneath all civil and criminal law. The fact that laws are often stupid and
counterproductive is merely the logical result of the fact that they are enacted by creatures who are so
primitive they cannot otherwise govern themselves.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF CORPORATE LAW
1. “The Protection of the minority shareholders within the domain of corporate activity constitutes one
of the most difficult problems facing Modern Company Law. The aim must be to strike a balance
between the effective control of the company and the interests of the small individual shareholders.
The Basic Principle relating to the administration of the affairs of the company is that the courts will
not in general, intervene at the instance of shareholders in matters of internal administration and will
not interfere with the management of the company by its directors so long as they are acting within
the powers conferred on them under the articles of the company”.

management of the company? Explain with the help of the decided cases.
b. What are the exceptions to the Majority Supremacy in matters of internal administration and
management of the company?

“The objects for which the company is established are to make and sell, or lend on hire, railway

engineers, and general contractors….”.The company entered into a contract with X, a firm of railway
contractors, to finance the construction of a railway line in Belgium. The company, however,
repudiated the contract as one ultra vires and X, brought an action for damages for breach of contract.
The contentions of X were that the contract in question came well within the meaning of the words
“general Contractors” and , was, therefore, within the powers of the company, and , secondly, that the
contract was ratified by a majority of the shareholders.
From the above facts, advise with the help of the decided cases and bring out the differences between
Indian Law and U.K. Law with regard to the Doctrine of Ultra-vires of a Company.
3. “Acceptance by management of the inalienable rights of shareholders as the true owners of the
corporation and of their own role as trustees on behalf of the shareholders. It is about commitment to
values, about ethical business conduct and about making a distinction between personal and corporate
funds in the management of a company”
From the above statement, elucidate the Basic Principles of Corporate Governance and bring out the
recommendations made by Narayana Murthy Committee under the Chairmanship of Mr. N.R.
Narayana Murthy with regard to review of Clause 49 of Listing Agreement and measures to improve

C.G. - FEDERALISM (HONS.)
1. “In a federal Constitution like ours where there is a division of legislative subjects but the
residuary power is vested in Parliament, such residuary power cannot be expansively
interpreted as to whittle down the power of the State Legislature. That might affect and
jeopardize the very federal principle. The federal nature of the Constitution demands that an
interpretation, which would allow the exercise of legislative power by Parliament pursuant to
the residuary powers vested in it to trench upon State Legislation and which would thereby
destroy or belittle state autonomy must be rejected.”
In backdrop of the above observation critically examine the judicial trend in interpretation of
residuary power. How do you reconcile this observation with the majority interpretation of
residuary powers in Union of India v. H.S. Dhillon (1971) 2 SCC779?
2. “Taxes may and do amount to restrictions; but it is only such taxes as directly and
immediately restrict trade that would fall within the purview of Article 301. The argument
that all taxes should be governed by Article 301 whether or not their impact on trade is
immediate or mediate, direct or remote, adopts, in our opinion, an extreme approach which
cannot be upheld.”
The above rule is subject to clarification-

‘Regulatory measures or measures imposing compensatory taxes for the use of trading
facilities do not come within the purview of the restrictions contemplated by Article 301 and
such measures need not comply with the requirements of the provisions to Article 304 (b) of
the Constitution.”

associated with the securities market. The amendment Act from time to time empowered SEBI to register and
regulate the working of the intermediaries like depositories, custodians for securities and also certain other
persons associated with the securities market like foreign institutional investors, credit rating agencies and
venture capital funds etc. SEBI was also given blanket authority to regulate other intermediaries or persons,
not named specifically in the statute, by specifying them through a notification. This obviated the need for
amending SEBI Act every now and then to deal with a particular type of intermediary or a person associated
with the securities market that may emerge in future”.
From the above paragraph, elucidate that to what extent SEBI is successful in protecting the interest of
investors in securities, promote the development of the securities market, and regulate the securities market.
Q. 3. “The system of transfer of ownership of securities prevailing till mid 1990s was grossly inefficient as
every transfer was required to be accomplished by the physical movement of paper securities to the issuer for
registration and the ownership was evidenced by the endorsement on the security certificate. The process of
transfer in many cases took much longer time than the time stipulated in the Companies Act or the SC(R)A.
A significant proportion of transactions ended up as” bad delivery” due to faulty compliance of paper work,
mismatch of signatures on transfer deeds with the specimen records of the issuer or for other procedural
reasons. All these problems had not surfaced overnight but these were compounded by burgeoning trade
volumes in secondary market and increasing dependence on securities market for financing trade and industry.
This underscored the need for streamlining the transfer of ownership of securities which was sought to be
accomplished by the Depositories Act”.
From the above statement, explain how Depositories system in India promotes and ensures free transferability
of securities with speed and accuracy in the stock market to develop Indian economy in the International
perspective and enumerate analytically the contribution of Depository Participant (DP) in this regard.
