Thank you so much :), and very sorry for the late reply. Adjusting to this new city and culture (nls/blr) has been overwhelming. I will be revisiting this thread in later years of my college and work hard to achieve the said standards.

(I assume the chances of you revisiting this thread are slim btw my bad)

Hello, I have provided my commercial space to rental for a company to run their retail store. Company name is not highlighted to preserve professional discretion, but a very popular QSR brand in India. The property is under mortgage and hypothecated with bank. The store is operational for 3 months now. To register rental agreement, bank should provide NOC to register rental agreement.

To provide NOC, bank is asking tenant to add a clause to the rental agreement stating that "Lessee would render their cooperation in case any recovery action is initiated by the Bank against the Borrower/Mortgagor in future including handing over the peaceful possession of the leased premises to the Bank, if demanded by the Bank. In such case, Lessee has no objection to deposit the rent directly with the Bank, if there is a written demand by the Bank to that effect and they shall not question the same".

Lessee is not agreeing to add this in registration document. Now bank is not providing NOC and hence registration of rental agreement is pending. As per advise from a lawyer(he also acknowledged that bank's ask is valid one) I have sent a register post with delivery acknowledgement letter asking the company to agree and add the condition requested by bank in rental agreement for which they have not responded yet. Lessee over email confirms that they are not related with bank in any matter and I should work with bank to get NOC. They have invested for their business in the rented property and they respond as "Lessee will abide by whatever is as per law. Lessee will not be limited to act as per Law and lessee has all right to safeguard and protect their huge investment as per law."

Now, I sit between 2 corporate companies standing in their own terms and I am helpless in the situation. Can anyone suggest how to go forward from here? What are the implications of delay in registering the rental agreement (for no fault of mine)? Is the demand from bank valid one? Is the hold by the lessee a valid one? I can be reached at ▮▮▮

So NLUs and law schools in general are usually left leaning. Sure you have the occasional few faculty and students being right wing, but you wouldn't say the entire department or university is RW. However with RW dominating every single area of the world and India since 2014. Which NLUs are heavily Rightwing or turning RW ???

He's fairly busy because he's friends with people who own the businesses that arbitrate - his business is not going away anytime soon. France has no relevance to the international arbitration landscape - he's moved there because it's close to the UK, saves him taxes (which the UK doesn't anymore), and is suitable for his current partner.

For those who don't know, the SJA was well aware of the report in the Telegraph about NKC's deeds at CU. The SJA did nothing because they are hesitant to take on the TMC government head-on, even in cases of patent illegality. They lack the guts of the students at JNU or Jadavpur.

Here is another scoop. Not sure if the SJA will come clean. But insider account, if true, explains why SJA piped down after the ridiculous protests.

The current batch of students owed over Rs 1.3 crores in pending hostel or mess dues. NKC has offered to raise the scholarship corpus while also installing AC systems in both the hostels for nearly Rs 4 crores. The PWD has already been awarded more than Rs 6 crores of contracts apart from the vertical extension of the academic block which will get extra set of elevators for an extra Rs 50 lacs. Reimbursement of moot court registration monies etc. Higher outlay for SJA and diluted scrutiny of advances made etc. Registrar will be the nodal point for most matters of SJA. Btw, the so called Rs 7 cr deficit is all fiction. The univ is floating on at least 16 crores of surplus and there is time more in reserves. All this will get highlighted in the EC on Oct 16.

SJA knows this. Hence to keep the sheep (that's us) grazing it issued hollowed ultimatum. But when the time comes, it would claim that student interests were upheld in its "strenuous negotiations" with NKC and therefore no more NKC eviction. Also if the EC wants NKC to stay on till Dec 31 or another extension thereafter what can the SJA do?

Now that you know what spiel is coming, choose wisely.

Why are you being cryptic? What are those skeletons? An old Kian reporting (very well done) on an inquiry done by serving and retired Andhra HC judges at NALSAR during VS regime had mentioned VCV in connection with distance education courses that did not have the necessary approvals. VCV never took up a position at Hyd since then. At HNLU there are contested versions of what he supposedly did or didn't when an alleged aggravated rape took place.

If you know of sticky stuff, kindly disclose.

I think everybody here has painted somewhat of a wrong picture. I recently gave the test, it is nothing like CLAT. It is in fact, way harder than CLAT. The English section is okay. The math section proceeded to ask me questions like speed of train if it passes by pole and stuff like that. Honestly hard for me, definitelty not the level we had in CLAT. Also, in logical reasoning, the pattern was more like AILET, and it was also harder than AILET I would say because there were some math questions involved here as well. The legal section was way off, they asked really random questions (even on maritime law?) which honestly I could not answer. Only 2 questions were from company law and contract each, one of them was on CPC. So yeah, be prepare for anything. They didn't take anyone from our uni btw.

Azim Premji MP campus is also listed as are quite a few Amity campuses. But this isn't a serious issue. During UPA regime when several univs including govt ones got blacklisted for more serious reasons, commissions kept getting made till almost all became shining exemplars of quality education within a year or two. A few also acquired INI and IoE status.

The VC of NUJS would know since he was very much present in one such blacklisted and subsequently platinum washed institution. The Noojies have no idea who they are dealing with.

Let me point out a genuine and fundamental issue with this firm. MS wants all the communication routed through him. He wants to approve the sabbaticals, he wants to approve promotions, he wants to approve the bonus amounts and increment amounts, he wants to approve even if somebody takes WFH.

Sounds like another MP .....

Competition law practice has no future in India. It’s 90% merger filings, most of which are routine and now reducible to templates and hence threatened by AI. Enforcement is weak.. The field attracts some of the worst lawyers, arrogant, petty, and impossible to learn from. No firm has decent mentors. Freelancers make it worse, poisoning the space beyond imagination. Unless you pair it with another practice, you are setting yourself up for a dead end.

I am a mid level SA doing Public M&A in tier 2. I’m thinking of transitioning to a newer team that does Public M&A. Who are the best young partners in the practice area who have a great career path ahead and hungry to be the next best thing? This is with the intention to reach out to interview.

before some dummies come here and say that this is paper wealth, know that if others are willing to buy perplexity's shares at the current price, it isn't paper wealth anymore and can turn liquid any time arvind wants. he probably foresees becoming richer down the line so he wont sell right now i guess but even without selling today, he can take a loan against these shares and enjoy a crazy ass lifestyle.

Begin by negotiating for a 25% increase over your current compensation. This will help position your salary at a level that is typically 1.5 to 2 years ahead of your current pay trajectory within the firm. When discussing your rationale for the increase, emphasize the transition from a consultancy (retainer) arrangement to a full-time employee (FTE) position. Highlight that this change may limit your ability to optimize your tax structure and could impact your eligibility for performance-based bonuses. To strengthen your case, present data on your bonus payouts over the past three years—especially if you are with a top-tier organization—to illustrate the potential loss in variable compensation.

There are three main problems I see with it:

- No focus on communicative English, improving writing skills

- Bias towards the left in subjects like history and socio

- Stereotypical Western view of legal history. Not looking at ancient legal regimes in different Indian kingdoms.

Hi- has anyone interned, or knows someone who has interned, at the Chambers of Sr. Adv. Soli Cooper. What is the work envronment like, and the workload for interns? Does Sir, or his associates, give serious research work to the interns, or is it the type of an internship where you just follow the advocate from court to court (or arbitration to arbitration)?

The specific answer to your question: can't say, really depends on university admission statistics. However, there is one thing that these schools certainly won't do. They won't be as successful as people think they will at inducting kids who go to them into those global elite networks. The logic is obvious, so let's address it point by point - here's the stuff all those people quoted in the article won't tell you, from an Indian who actually lives in the UK.

1. Key point: they are the outposts, "offshoots", not the real thing. They aren't Harrow. Or Charterhouse. No Salopian, Harovian or Carthusians are going to treat these graduates as one of their own. This is because these schools would be viewed by them as fundamentally different. Their "catering to the local environment", operating on a different calendar, adapting of the curriculum... all that makes these guys second-class. For god's sake! George Malory went to Charterhouse - the guy who might have been the first one to climb Everest - we don't know. Obviously, great flex for a Carthusian. You think any Carthusian with even the smallest amount of common sense will allow some Indian interloper to claim that legacy, too? Of course he won't - especially if he is an Indian Carthusian (ie, one who went to the original Charterhouse in the UK)!

2. Culturally, these guys might be brought up to be similar, but they're certainly not the same. Working on Indian dramas in your acting class? Sorry. Unless you're doing the British cannon, you're different in their eyes - doesn't matter if you went to one of these schools, one of the local international schools, or an Indian board school.

3. That ▮▮▮ woman in the article says they "don't care about exams"? Damn it, the British are a society who are very unforgiving of academic failure! If this is true, then these schools are fundamentally un-British in their way of educating people. At Eton, for example, they used to (not sure if they do anymore) have a custom where if you performed badly in a test, the teacher would return it with the paper ripped in a corner to you. Eton publishes statistics about its GCSE (10th grade board exam) results on its website. The universities in Britain don't have this culture of allowing students to make up for failing an exam without severe mitigating circumstances by repeating it, taking the repeat seriously and then performing well in the repeat. You get only two attempts at an exam or assessment in any module/course you take - the first, and if you fail that, a "resit". And the resit is really not much of an attempt anyway, because the universities restrict how much you can achieve in that attempt to and give you the minimum pass mark only, not the full grade. That's unless you have evidenced mitigating circumstances (like death in the family), in which case the "resit" is treated as a first attempt, and there are no caps imposed. I personally saw this happen to a friend of mine while studying at university in Britain and went through the uni's academic regulations (and those of comparable unis), so am not bullshitting. Do you really think a culture like that will be suitable for students who went to a school that "doesn't care about exams"??

4. The comforts described are also fundamentally un-British. Read up on Nehru's writings about his school experiences. Cold showers, for example. One of the bonding factors for British school and university alumni is to talk over those kinds of things: being forced to take a cold shower (because the water heating system was out of order) on a winter's day, for example.

Therefore, from an Indian in Britain (and educated there after school): Parents, either send your kids to the original versions of those boarding schools (12 hour flights away) or send them to a typical international school in India, if you are sure you want them to migrate abroad. Or even just send them to local schools and save loads more money at that stage. If the kids are clever enough and you (and they) play your cards right, as that person said about the hypothetical ISC and IB candidates, they'll manage to get through the British unis nevertheless, and might even secure a job afterwards - there are plentyful examples of such in the legal sector in the UK (Indians who were schooled in the local schooling system, went to unis in the west and are working at high-paying law firms). Because I'd certainly not send any kid of mine to these places.

I don't know much about NUJS but having spent 5 years at GNLU, I can attest to the fact that the quality of professors at GNLU is simply nowhere near NUJS. We have at best 2-3 professors who are actually knowledgeable in their subject and know how to teach. The rest are horrendous.
