'Commercial Driving License'

A Thing of the Past for taxis, auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws, e-karts and 2-wheelers

The Background

In a major boost to the public mobility sector in India, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) issued an advisory to the all licensing authorities, to exempt drivers of the following categories from obtaining an endorsement to drive these vehicles, irrespective of the fact that these vehicles may be used for commercial purposes.

  1. light motor vehicles (goods/ passenger),
  2. motor cycles with gear,
  3. motor cycles without gear,
  4. e-rickshaws/ e-carts,

This effectively means that commercial (transport) licenses would no longer be required for driving the listed categories of vehicles.

Aircraft Repossession vs Going-Concern Value: How India’s New Insolvency Framework Changes The Position Of Aircraft Lessors

Airline insolvency presents a particularly difficult problem for insolvency law because the assets most critical to keeping the airline operational may not belong to the airline at all. Aircraft are frequently held under operating leases. When an airline enters insolvency, therefore, the resolution professional (“RP”) may be required to preserve the corporate debtor as a going concern while the aircraft lessor seeks to enforce its contractual and international-law rights to recover possession of its aircraft.

The Evolution Of Workplace Sexual Harassment Law In India: From Vishaka To POSH

This article covers the evolution of laws in India on sexual harassment in the workplace, starting from the shortcomings of the pre-1997 law and leading to the introduction of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (“POSH Act”). It examines the impact of the Indian Penal Code, 1860; the lack of any specific remedy for sexual harassment at the workplace; the Bhanwari Devi incident; and, thereafter, the judgment in Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan on the constitutional and judicial recognition of sexual harassment at the workplace as a violation of fundamental rights.

INSOLVENCY MEETS ARBITRATION Convergence, Conflict, And Co-Existence In Asia

Insolvency and arbitration have traditionally occupied separate spaces: one collective and court-supervised, the other private and consent-based. That separation is breaking down. Across Asia, distressed companies are parties to ongoing arbitral proceedings, arbitral awards are being pursued against insolvent entities, and restructuring moratoria are colliding with arbitral proceedings in ways that neither the law of insolvency nor the law of arbitration has cleanly resolved.
