1. GENERAL CRIMINAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

1.1 What authorities can prosecute business crimes, and are there different enforcement authorities at the national and regional levels?

India has a quasi-federal political structure comprising 29 states and seven centrally administered Union Territories. It has a democratically elected Union Government (also called the Central Government) and each state has its own democratically elected state Government. The police are a state subject, and therefore both the establishment and maintenance of a police force are in the hands of the state Governments. Each state has a police force. Investigations are normally handled by the police force of the state where the crime has been committed.

What Is A “Predicate Offence” And Why Does It Matter In Every ED Investigation?

The Enforcement Directorate's power to investigate money laundering cases hinges entirely on a fundamental legal concept: the predicate offence. Without a legitimately registered scheduled crime serving as the foundation, can the ED legally pursue a money laundering investigation?

India’s Arbitration Regime: An Overview

India had a prime role in laying the foundation of modern-day arbitration. It was amongst the six Asian nations to have signed the Geneva Convention on the Execution of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1927. As noted jurist, Mr. F.S. Nariman points out – none from the Americas subscribed to it. Later, in July 1960, India was amongst the 10 original signatories to the New York Convention and the fourth country to ratify the same. The USA ratified the New York Convention a full 10 years later in 1970 and the UK in 1975. China and Singapore ratified the Convention fairly recently, in the mid-1990s
