Treatise on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (Law and Practice)
Treatise on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (Law and Practice) is a comprehensive and authoritative reference work offering an in-depth, section-wise, sub-section-wise, clause-wise and sub-clause-wise analysis of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC). Designed for both academic study and practical legal application, the book provides detailed commentary on the Code along with extensive legislative and judicial references. The book includes a dedicated chapter on Principles of Interpretation, covering important rules of statutory interpretation and significant Indian and foreign case law, including principles relating to non-English words and phrases. It also provides the date of commencement of each section, relevant notifications, legislative history, Notes on Clauses and amendments to the Code, making it a valuable resource for understanding the evolution and application of the IBC. Each section is preceded by a synopsis highlighting the key issues covered, enabling quick reference and efficient research. Complex provisions are analysed and presented in a clear and structured manner for easy understanding. The treatise also provides an incisive analysis of important judgments of the Supreme Court, High Courts, NCLT and NCLAT, offering practical insight into the interpretation and application of insolvency and bankruptcy law. An exhaustive subject index facilitates quick retrieval of topics, while the appendix contains the texts of relevant Regulations, Rules, Guidelines, Circulars, Orders, NCLT Rules and NCLAT Rules. This book is an essential reference for insolvency professionals, advocates, judges, company law practitioners, legal researchers, law students, corporate professionals, creditors, resolution professionals and anyone dealing with insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings in India.
Treatise on Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (Law and Practice)
Snow White's Treatise on Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) is built to cover the subject in its finest detail — a research-based, section-wise, sub-section-wise, clause-wise, and sub-clause-wise commentary designed to be a genuinely authoritative reference rather than a summary treatment of the Act. Every important concept and proposition affirmed by the Supreme Court, High Courts, and the PMLA Appellate Tribunal has been worked directly into the commentary on the relevant sections, so readers get judicial interpretation alongside the statutory text rather than having to cross-reference separately. A dedicated chapter on Principles of Interpretation is aimed specifically at the Bench and Bar, helping resolve difficult interpretive questions using established principles of construction, and is backed by important Indian and international case law on reviewing non-English words and phrases. Each section carries its own Legislative History — drawing on the Parliamentary Committee Report on the Prevention of Money-Laundering Bill, 1999, and Notes on Clauses from the 2005, 2009, and 2012 Amendment Acts, along with a gist of amendments made through the Finance Acts of 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019, and the Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 — giving readers the full evolutionary context behind each provision. A Synopsis prefacing every section flags the key issues covered by each sub-section, clause, and sub-clause, making it far easier to locate the specific point you're researching without reading the whole section end to end. An Exhaustive Subject Index rounds out the volume, reinforcing its role as a standard, go-to reference work on PMLA rather than a quick bare-act read.
Treatise on Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988
Dr. Dilip K. Sheth's Treatise on Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988, now in its 2nd Edition, Reprint with Supplement 2024, is a substantial 990-page hardbound treatise on a law that's grown significantly more consequential since the 2016 amendment expanded its scope and enforcement teeth. Rather than a bare-act treatment, this is a full commentary-style work aimed at unpacking the finer legal and practical issues around benami transactions — what qualifies as one, the presumptions and exceptions built into the Act, attachment and confiscation proceedings, and how the Benami Property Transactions Appellate Tribunal and courts have approached contested cases. The 2024 Supplement keeps the treatise current with recent developments, making this a dependable, in-depth reference for tax practitioners, property lawyers, chartered accountants, and enforcement authorities dealing with benami property investigations, litigation, or compliance advisory work.
