The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) issued a press release Monday. The release outlines its plans for the country’s 75th anniversary of independence, as well as its own 75th anniversary in 2022-23. Education sector related issues and the formation of committees to aid in the implementation of the NEP were also discussed.

In a press release dated 9th August 2021, student organisation Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) announced its plan to hoist the National Flag at 1,28,335 locations across the country on 15th August 2021- India’s Independence Day. They have also planned to work on internships, Tiranga marches, social media campaigns, short films on forgotten warriors, and so on.

Sidharth Yadav, the National Media Convenor of ABVP, said “We plan to engage the entire young community with the celebration. In Delhi, we are hoisting at 647 bastis. A big number of students from DU have volunteered and the experience they are getting while visiting these bastis is already heart-warming. I am sure that we will be successful in taking the celebration to the last man in the line and also develop a perspective amongst University students.”
Bharat Sharma, ABVP’s Delhi Media Convenor, added “until now, flag hoisting has largely been a government ritual. We intend on taking it to the masses.”

Furthermore, the organisation has decided to form a committee in each state. This committee would make recommendations to the governments, administrations, and universities for ensuring timely implementation of the National Education Policy.

The organisation is also celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2022-23. In light of the celebration, the ABVP has decided to take on large-scale campaigns. A one-day National Executive Council meeting was held on August 1, 2021, in Bhopal via a virtual and physical medium. In this meeting, the organisation passed two resolutions and an appeal.

The first resolution referred to the problems in the education sector during the Covid-19 period. They have also demanded a solution from the Central and State Governments. The second resolution discussed the country’s current situation and called for action. The council has decided to expand the ‘Parishad Ki Paathshala’ activity nationwide. They have also decided to establish the ‘Ritumati’ campaign for women’s health and empowerment as an amplitude across the country.

Three years since the decriminalisation of Section 377, and the Indian Queer community continues to be on the receiving end of prejudice and discrimination. But with compulsory heterosexuality being guzzled down everyone’s throat, and the archaic patrolling of the borders of sexuality and gender identity, are we really surprised?

TW: mention of suicide, homophobia, conversion therapy

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an Indian family deep in the trenches of society, will forever be plagued by the longstanding preoccupation of “log kya kahenge?” Miss Austen’s wordy prose aside, you would have to be an extremely lucky individual if you have somehow managed to escape this cultural obsession with propriety. It is hard to escape, impossible even for some.

And yet for others, it is an obsession that is oftentimes deadly. Last year, a queer woman from Kerala died of suicide after being forcefully subjected to conversion therapy. Two years before that, a lesbian couple died of suicide after being shunned by the world for their love. “We are leaving this world to live with each other. The world did not allow us to stay together,” is what their last words were, courtesy of a note that they left.

Social movements in India, like the feminist movement, have to a larger extent, been able to establish some legitimacy amongst the Indian public because of collective pressure on political authorities by these groups.

In comparison, the queer movement has struggled to gain the same form of legitimacy in society. A lesser number of people are willing to advocate for queer concerns or publicly identify as queer and advocate for queer activism. And in most cases, we can safely attribute this silence to the Indian social attitude towards sexuality and gender identity. This rigorous and despotic policing of the borders of “normal sexuality” means that fears of many kinds are commonplace in the lives of people under the rubric of queer. This, coupled with intersectionality, makes the lives of many queer people cramped with fear and shame, reflective of societal sentiments.

“Talk more about it!” or “Be vocal about your problems!” It is easy to ask people to advocate more outrageously about their issues when your own head isn’t on the chopping board. And when talks of queerness in the conventional Indian setup are centred around pathological and criminological perspectives- around conversion therapies and social isolation- with what right would we dare ask the queer community to self-identify?

How can we blame them, when parents value their social standing in a stunted and backward society more than their children’s happiness?

Perhaps I am merely parroting what you have already read in hundreds of articles. Or perhaps this might lead to a belated cognizance within many. But your allyship to the queer community

means nothing when it is practised only in a safe space. Your threads about queer subtext in Indian mythology are useless unless you’re willing to take them beyond your Twitterverse. This society is more brutal than what we perceive, discussing issues at large while sitting at the dinner table with people who think the same as us. What’s the use? They already know. It’s time to move past them.

The University of Delhi (DU) witnesses a diversified plethora of students from different parts of the country seeking admission each year; for the thirst for educational opportunities and exposure to the dimmed lights of the capital city.

The skyrocketing cut-offs at the University of Delhi is something that the nation already knows about. It’s a very daunting task to get into the University of Delhi once the cut-offs are released. However, there is a very limited yet diverse quota for those students who excel in other Extracurricular Activities along with their academics, the Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) quota.

Pre Covid, the ECA selections included an auditioning process and then allotment of colleges to the aspirants, but since last year, the auditions were dropped (will the auditions be there this year or not will be notified soon). As the entire admissions process was online, the students were judged on the basics of the certificates they submitted. 

ECA is one of the biggest reasons why the crowd at the University of Delhi is such a diverse one. You get students scoring very high in academics and students who have made a mark in an extracurricular field all at one place. All the artists out there have a very fair yet scrutinized chance of getting into DU. As the percentage drop for ECA students is very high, the seats are very limited for them. The allotment of colleges is a centralized procedure, i.e after the entire process, the University itself allots colleges to the aspirants with respect to their positions in the merit list and in line with their preferences.

“According to me, the only thing to keep in mind if applying for DU through ECA admissions is by checking the notification board of the Delhi University official website on a daily basis. Don’t miss a day and keep looking for the new updates. Last year the ECA admissions were a bit different than the previous years but I could easily figure out the whole process only with the help of the information available on the University website as well as the college websites. Moreover, there are many official email IDs to which you can send your queries or concerns and believe me and don’t worry they reply. So if you ask me, I would suggest not to take stress and to be updated for new instructions from the notification board.”

Mahasweta Sarma, Political Science (Hons), Miranda House, Indian classical and light (vocals) category

A complete list of ECA quotas of admissions in years 2020-2021 is available on Delhi University’s official website, along with the names of colleges and the quotas that they reserve for each activity. The University will definitely upload a fresh list this year as well.

Categories under ECA

Various ECA categories under which the student can secure admission at the University of Delhi are:

  • Creative Writing (English and Hindi)
  • Debate (English and Hindi)
  • Digital Media (Photography, Animation and Film Making)
  • Divinity
  • Fine Arts
  • Music (Indian and Western: Vocal and Light)
  • Music (Instrument: Indian and Western)
  • Theatre
  • Quiz
  • National Service Scheme
  • National Cadet Corps
  • Dance (Indian Folk and Indian Classical)
  • Yoga

The procedure of Admissions in 2020-2021

Last year the ECA admissions were primarily ruled out as due to COVID-19 protocols physical auditions were not possible so the University cancelled the ECA admissions. But later the admissions process was restored without the auditions. The following steps were supposed to be taken by a student who wanted to get the admission via ECA category.

  1. Register as for the ECA category under the DU UG Admissions portal.
  2. Select the categories you want to apply for and upload the certificates relevant to that particular category. Duly check the dates along which the certificates will be accepted.
  3. maximum of 5 certificates was allowed to be uploaded last year under each ECA Category.
  4. After some time, the University releases a merit list with the descending order of marks that the student got against the certificates they uploaded.
  5. If there are any discrepancies with the allotment of marks, there is a window given to resolve that and then the University releases a fresh list. Kindly be very alert during this window period.
  6. Once the final merit list is out, students are given options to select their desired college, under their respective categories. A maximum of 10 colleges, in the order of preferences, were allowed last year.
  7. Then the University allots the colleges to the aspirants and then there is a window period given when the student needs to submit their fees and confirm their admission in the allotted college by the University.
  8. After that, the allotted college contacts the student to sign an undertaking, which complies the student to represent the college at various levels under the ECA category they have secured their admissions in.

Some points to keep in mind while applying under ECA by an ECA Student

  1. It is mandatory to first register and apply on the common UG Admissions portal at the University’s Website.
  2. If you want then apply under more than one ECA category, the seats for ECA students are very few, so give your best shot under maximum categories.
  3. Students usually do not fill in all of the 5 slots available for certificates. Especially, during these unprecedented circumstances, when the auditions are least likely to happen, your certificates will carry a lot of marks. Give priorities to International, National, State, District, and then School level competitions certificates.
  4. Thoroughly go through the notification that the University releases for the admissions for ECA students.
  5. The window period for rectifying your marks in the merit list is quite scrutinized, be very vigilant during that time.
  6. Select the colleges by your preferences and try filling up all the columns to be on the safer side.
  7. If auditions happen, then be well versed with the current affairs, especially for the students who want to apply under the Debate or Creative Writing Category.

DU Brings Back ECA Admissions Without Trials

Following the recent events, we tried to locate what language our nation speaks—of hate or of Mir?

“I knew that language is the most private and yet most public things.” – Arundhati Roy, In What Language Does Rain Fall Over Tormented Cities?

What language do we speak altogether, collectively as a nation? 780, or the ones actually recognised? Of love or of hate? Do we even speak together, ever?

I learned in my history class about imagined communities. Are we just one true imagination that exists with all its hypocrisies with just one name that binds us together? The peculiar curiosity about your identity starts somewhere around our age only, I think India never got out of that phase, she is still trudging the path of curiosity to know all about it.

Being trilingual, I get how difficult it can be to brainstorm with three words meaning something somewhat similar but never the exact same. How does India manage with so many? We read about diversity since first grade. In the language, I read it, “Anekta mei ekta.” At times, I think her diversity could never get out of this essay. It tried and tried, but it was such a high pedestal that returning was never an option, but we found out her invisibility on the streets at times, for we all read or maybe heard it – India: A Land of Diversities.

But whose language does India actually speak? Of Ghalib or of those who went rallying against Fab India when it named its Diwali Collection Jashn-e-Riwaaz, which loosely translates into a celebration of tradition.

The social media went mad with hails of ‘NO Abrahaminsation of Hindu Festivals’. And amidst this, a Markazi Khayal came to me that what word could we substitute for Khyal in Kabhi Kabhi mere dil mei Khayal aata hai? Or maybe what would we substitute when the people actually discover that the words Hindi, Hindu and Hindostan are from Persian Arabic? Did I miss a class of Language partition when the words of Urdu casually entered the conversations and even a bit of Shudh Hindi found its place with slang from the local dialect?

The Partition happened when, during the British era, the Hindustani language broke up into Hindi and Urdu, and since then, the graph has been up and down with the ‘language’ that we decide to speak publicly, sometimes of hate and sometimes of mir.

According to a research paper about the decline of Urdu sounds,

First, the decline of Urdu sounds began in the 1990s, which marks the rise of the Hindutva politics and the beginning of the mushrooming of cable television networks.”

So, this is the language I have been referring to the language that the current hegemony chooses to speak.

A good thing about Grammarly is that you can set the tone of language that you want to deliver your content in, and it rectifies the words accordingly. What would the tone be when people don’t let Munawwar Faruqui perform in Goa for 500 people would set themselves on fire. The organisers received threats from several Hindutva groups, and shows in Raipur, Surat, Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Mumbai had to be cancelled. Munawwar was also arrested for a joke he did not tell, and the apex court that granted him release said the tone of the FIR was vague and no apparent reason for his arrest.

Clearly, the cancel culture in our country goes a different way, where the dominant group shuns the language that it does not want to hear, be it just the name of the collection, an advertisement that talks of love bonds, or anything that might prick the forces of Hindutva. Who will be the next Kaifi saheb, perhaps Ghalib or the true sense of diversity that we talked about on pages?

Although Hindi’s victory has been a resounding one, it does not seem to have entirely allayed its keepers’ anxieties. Perhaps that’s because their enemies are dead poets who have a habit of refusing to really die.” – Arundhati Roy, In What Language Does Rain Fall Over Tormented Cities? 

There is a linguistic relativity hypothesis that says our language shapes our thought, and Arundhati writes in her essay that a country’s public language is its own public imagination. So, the next time you say ‘ye Ishq nahīñ āsāñ itnā hī samajh liije ik aag kā dariyā hai aur Duub ke jaanā hai’ know that in the current context it literally applies to the word Ishq for someday people might take offence for its existence because of its source.

All this is to say that we in India live and work (and write) in a complicated land, in which nothing is or ever will be settled. Especially not the question of language. Languages.” – Arundhati Roy, In What Language Does Rain Fall Over Tormented Cities?

Art has poured its fervour into the struggle for independence and continues to shape the struggle for the reclamation of Azaadi in post-independent India in continuation with its tussle with censorship

Throughout the years the call for Revolution and Azaadi has been infused with various art forms. Be it lines of poetry or the dead silence on the faces of actors, Art has always been the medium to convey the turmoil that boils within. Indian People’s Theatre Association, IPTA and Progressive writers adopted the bravado to speak for the unheard in times of independence struggle. 

The power that these bare words encompass is beyond any hegemony, which is the reason why Art is the first to be censored whenever any establishment fears downfall. Dinkar’s direct attack on the then Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru shocked the entire nation. Ramdhari Singh Dinkar’s act of reading those four lines in the Parliament to criticise Nehru remains one of the most revolutionary acts. 

Safdar Hashmi’s murder, Sultan Majroohpuri’s arrest, the defacement of paintings from the CAA protest sites and many such incidents tell the tale of how revolutionary Art drives the course of change and thus trembles the pillars of hegemony.  

Saadat Hasan Manto was censored in his age of writing and what’s peculiar is that censorship in the age of the 21st century isn’t leaving his side. After the genocidal sloganeering on Sunday at Jantar Mantar, a post was doing rounds on Instagram. The post had lines from the movie Manto (2018) where Saadat Hasan says, “He is Muslim enough to be killed”, depicting the Islamophobic scenario. Instagram found this to be against its community guidelines and removed this post uploaded by @con.scientizacao. Meanwhile, the slogans asking for genocide remain on various pages. 

“If you cannot bear these stories then the society is unbearable. Who am I to remove the clothes of this society, which itself is naked.”

-Manto

 These are not just bland phrases that promise good days ahead while hollowness shrieks from inside them. These are the cries of the turbulence stated barely, set in the beauty of expressions.

The words of Pash, Faiz, Dushyant Kumar, Kaifi Saheb and many others still resonate with the masses. Is it because of the immortality of those words or our struggles have not really evolved?

As the words of Habib Jalib and Majrooh Sultanpuri continue to tell thousands of stories of their age encompassed in them, we can hope that ours too will live on to tell about the people who stood in the face of the odds. People who questioned the essence of Azaadi and rightfully demanded it. We hope the words and art of Amir Aziz, Satish Acharya, Varun Grover and various other artists keep speaking for the deliberately silenced.  

These words from Dushyant Kumar, truly depict the role of Art in organising, agitating and leading people towards the path of change and not merely giving up in the face of the oppressor.

Meri Zubaan se nikali to sirf Nazm bani, tumhare haath mei aai to ek mashaal hui.

DU Beat’s Sex Amma column started off as an anonymous advice column for students delving into college life and exploring their sexuality and identity. It was a column meant to facilitate a conversation on something normal, but so often frowned upon. It was supposed to be a safe space for students to discuss personal issues and educate readers about topics considered taboo with people their own age, with no fear of judgment or assumption. And for the past 13 years, has continually been so.

Criticism and feedback are what keeps a public forum relevant. DU Beat is where it is today because of a combined effort of the team as well as our viewers and audience that makes us, us. A column that had started with good intentions – in an attempt to tackle serious and important issues in an accessible, easy and humorous manner – ended up derailing from its original goal, and turned into something that goes against some of the main principles of DU Beat – clarity, facts, and most of all, respect.

We firmly believe that talks about sex and sexuality, especially in a society that outlaws them as much as ours does, is extremely important, and thus, should continue. After reading the feedback provided by Amal Mathew’s article for the LiveWire, we took the author’s comments into consideration and realised that it was coming from a valid place. We took a long, hard look at ourselves and, as is our duty, decided to course correct.

The misplaced use of words and analogies to describe something as natural and intrinsic as sex can misinform and confuse readers – an end result that is far from our intention. We never meant to showcase disrespect or disregard for any community, and for the hurt caused, we would like to humbly apologise. Our leadership is committed to making our platform a place where everyone feels respected and valid, and we shall be taking active steps to right our errors.

The main points raised in the article were:

  1. Sex Amma’s content contains misplaced words and descriptors that can confuse readers – the food analogies were specifically called out.
  2. Sex Amma’s content uses culturally insensitive tropes and language to talk about sex.

Here are the redressal steps that our editorial team will be committing to:

  1. We shall work to provide clear and unambiguous language when discussing and educating our readers about sex. We realize that while the food analogies were written with the aim to amuse, they can be misinterpreted and confuse the reader. Therefore, we will be rethinking the manner in which Sex Amma offers advice and do away with the using of food as an indicator for certain body parts.
  2. Food and cuisine are extremely important aspects of our identity; we realize that using these as analogies can come across as distasteful, even though that was not our intent. Moving forward, the editorial team shall do away with using culturally significant descriptors and language, and work harder to make our content more inclusive and accessible.

We hope to ensure that Sex Amma is a column that provides a space for talks about sex and sexuality with no disrespect. Though these steps might be belated, we are fully committed to correcting our mistakes.

Sex Amma, ultimately, is a character created as a progressive, strong woman who is not afraid to talk about sexual health. Female sexuality is often frowned upon, but Amma is unabashed and here to help the students of DU without judgement or condescension. We will ensure that with the help of these steps, Sex Amma, as a column, goes back to what it was originally meant to be – a column to educate our readers about traditionally censored topics and experiences.

DU Beat’s Sex Amma column started off as an anonymous advice column for students delving into college life and exploring their sexuality and identity. It was a column meant to facilitate a conversation on something normal, but so often frowned upon. It was supposed to be a safe space for students to discuss personal issues and educate readers about topics considered taboo with people their own age, with no fear of judgment or assumption. And for the past 13 years, has continually been so.

Criticism and feedback are what keeps a public forum relevant. DU Beat is where it is today because of a combined effort of the team as well as our viewers and audience that makes us, us. A column that had started with good intentions – in an attempt to tackle serious and important issues in an accessible, easy and humorous manner – ended up derailing from its original goal, and turned into something that goes against some of the main principles of DU Beat – clarity, facts, and most of all, respect.

We firmly believe that talks about sex and sexuality, especially in a society that outlaws them as much as ours does, is extremely important, and thus, should continue. After reading the feedback provided by Amal Mathew’s article for the LiveWire, we took the author’s comments into consideration and realised that it was coming from a valid place. We took a long, hard look at ourselves and, as is our duty, decided to course correct.

We know everything is confusing, uncertain, and downright frustrating right now- and the university’s apathy towards the students giving examinations has further exacerbated the stress of the current times. But amidst this emotional rollercoaster, here’s an OBE rewind piece about some things you could do to ensure that the upcoming OBE exams are as stress-free as possible during these turbulent times. 

In the run-up to the examinations, make sure to take care of your mental health. Download your admit card and recheck all the details. Prepare only as much as you can, and as much as you need to. Take frequent breaks, stay hydrated and make sure to unwind after a long day of going through study material or preparing summaries. If there is anything that the previous OBEs have taught us, it is that they require a very specific kind of preparation, which does not always include memorizing the text or practicing writing answers, as we do in conventional examinations. Open book examinations lean more towards the technical knowledge and understanding of the text, including all the big ideas in the study material and going over past papers and guides to predict the patterns of question papers.

A student from Lady Shri Ram College for Women says, “We created small study groups and helped one another with summaries to understand and comprehend different parts of the course, and prepared these to easily refer during the exams. We worked together during these uncertain times and our trust and cooperation got us through our previous OBEs stress-free.”

Working together with friends or classmates is a good idea during these times, as OBEs do not require students to memorise the details, rather compile these together from different readings of a particular topic after internalising the basic concepts.

The night before the examinations, remember these examinations aren’t indicative of your academic prowess or merit and we are all going through difficult times. Prepare a top sheet with your name, roll number, college, paper code and course name to scan on top of the answer script and upload. This will prevent any added stress of having to write that on the day of the exam. Prepare either ruled or blank A4 sheets to write the examination  and try logging into the portal to ensure that the login details are all in place. Ensure that you have the contact details of the examination nodal officer for your college in case of any discrepancy.

During the examinations, it can get stressful. Paired with time management issues and the time-consuming process of scanning and uploading, many face extreme difficulties in uploading on time before the portal crashes, and sometimes even upload the wrong pdfs. An easy fix for this is to scan every answer after writing it, verify that all the pages are in order and label it according to the answer number so that it is easy to upload at the end, rather than leave all of them to be done in one go as it  adds to your stress and anxiety. The best app to scan answer scripts with is Adobe Scan, but other alternatives include Google Drive Scan and Office Lens, although they might be slower.

Another student from Hansraj College says, “I faced difficulties in compressing the files before time ran out and the portal crashed, after which I had to email my answers separately.” A good preemptive measure to make sure that compressing and uploading are easy during the examinations is to bookmark SmallPDF or PDFCompressor Applications to your laptop’s bookmarks bar for easy access to prevent confusion in the last few minutes of the OBE.

If the portal crashes, do not worry. A teacher from Daulat Ram College expresses, “I get panic-stricken messages when the portal crashes in the last hour of the OBE, with students asking for help and worrying that they will be given a zero because they were unable to upload. The portal gets overburdened by the sheer number of people trying to upload at the same time, but I tell them all not to worry, and that they must follow the required procedure for their answer scripts to be considered.” This procedure is twofold: continue uploading answers until the end of the 5th hour, which is the extra hour in case the portal crashes in the designated time, and if you are still unable to upload, take clear screenshots including the time stamp of the portal failure or network issues. As a last resort, email the examination officer of your college with all the answer pdfs attached, clearly mentioning name, roll number, paper code, the reason for not being able to upload and screenshot evidence for the technical failure. Your paper will be considered granted you have legitimate reasons for not being able to upload.

Finally, we are all in this together. These are unprecedented times and everyone is fighting their own battles. No one expects you to ace your Open book examinations or top the class during a global pandemic. Be kind to yourself. Good luck with your exams!

Because an IOU is not always legally binding and the repayment terms may be non-existent, lenders and borrowers should consider limiting the amount of any loan secured in this way. Anything above a friend or family member’s comfort zone should be secured with a more formal promissory note, not an informal or verbal agreement. An IOU is primarily used as a financial placeholder for small debts or nominal payments. For what? He glares over at her. Its been a long day, and he is starving.

Travis County’s first purpose-built courthouse was a modest two-story stone structure built in 1855 near Republic Park in downtown Austin. This courthouse was replaced by a larger building in 1876 and was eventually demolished in 1906. The second Travis County Courthouse was a three-story limestone building designed in a monumental Second Empire style, built along the south side of the Texas State Capitol. The county’s needs outgrew this building, too, and in 1931 it was replaced by the current courthouse, after which it was used as office space for Texas state agencies and then finally demolished in 1964.[1] The Heman Marion Sweatt Travis County Courthouse is the county courthouse for Travis County, Texas. Located in downtown Austin, Texas (the county seat), the courthouse holds civil and criminal trial courts and other functions of county government (https://lectoraworkshop.nl/2020/12/19/travis-county-courtroom-user-agreement/). Clearing requirements have brought about significant changes to derivatives documentation. While uncleared derivatives continue to be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master agreement and a Credit Support Annex, cleared derivatives require further documentation such as: (i) clearing agreements, (ii) give-up agreements, and (iii) collateral transformation agreements. This webinar discussed the recently released FIA-ISDA Cleared Derivatives Execution Agreement–a template that can be used by participants in the cleared swaps markets in negotiating execution-related agreements with counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives that are intended to be cleared.

On May 23, 1999, Owen Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri during the Over the Edge pay-per-view event in a stunt that went wrong. WWF broke kayfabe by having television commentator Jim Ross repeatedly tell those watching live on pay-per-view that what had just transpired was not a wrestling angle or storyline and that Hart was hurt badly, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.[133] While several attempts to revive him were made, he died from his injuries. The cause of death was later revealed to be internal bleeding from blunt force trauma. The WWF management controversially chose to continue the event.[134] Later, Jim Ross announced the death of Hart to the home viewers during the pay-per-view, but not to the crowd in the arena.[135] While the show did go on, it has never been released commercially by WWF Home Video wrestling agreement. Q. Who can be a partner in a firm? A. Ordinarily, it is individuals who constitute partnerships. A lunatic can also be a partner through his guardian. Similarly, a minor can be admitted to the benefits of a partnership but he is not responsible for loss. Apart from the natural persons, a limited company can also enter into partnership not only with a natural person but also with another limited company. However, a firm cannot be a partner in another firm nor can be an Association of Persons (AOP). Q. Is it necessary to form a company or a partnership firm to start a new business? A. No, it is not necessary to form a company or a partnership to start new business. Business can be started as a sole proprietorship. Q. Is a written partnership agreement required for partnership? A. Yes. Many family run businesses consider it unnecessary to have a Partnership Agreement when they know and trust the people they are in partnership with so well. In fact, it is on these such occasions when it really is crucial that a Partnership Agreement is in place. The last thing a family wants is discord between family members caused by disagreements regarding work or money.

If all of the above apply, you may be able to avoid a court order and get a temporary guardianship instead. A temporary guardianship agreement is a private agreement that does not require a judge’s approval. When it comes to the early stages of divorce or allocation of parental responsibilities cases, one or both sides may need court intervention to make sure a proper division of parenting time or decision-making is in place. In some cases, a parent may wish to maintain the status quo in terms of their time and involvement with the children. In others, physical separation between the parents may lead to one parent preventing the other from having any time with the children at all. If the parents are unable to agree to temporary custody arrangements, courts will readily authorize a hearing to get orders in place (temporary guardianship agreement colorado).

In fact, the 21-person moderator team is made up of lawyers, but also subject matter experts in many fields, including law enforcement and child protective services. Trust is a big part of any deal, and a situation where youve been hired and promised shares but never received any is a major breach of that trust. But does that trust translate into something legally binding, that when broken, gives you options for legal action? But in that case, if Sam had already started performing the work associated with the promotion and Martin was aware of this, then it is more likely that a court would recognise the verbal agreement as binding. What often happens is that negotiations are legally binding and agreement was reached verbally with an intention to write it down later but this didn’t happen.

Roommate agreements often contain a mediation clause, which requires roommates to seek some form of third-party mediation before taking any action. It’s a good idea to include such a clause. At the end of the day, the roommate’s action affects you, and vice versa. An agreement to mediate gives you more control over the dispute. The issues you include in a roommate agreement can range from major to minor. This form also helps people solve little problems before they become big problems. If you were to neglect using a contract with your roommates, you may face a few of the following: For example, lets say one roommate fails to pay rent. Under these laws, the other roommates must pay the missing money, or the law can get involved http://kzeniya.com/home/archives/10298. And, the transfer duty is 1.5% of the property value. Stamp duty charges also differ based on the nature of the property like residential or commercial and type of area like rural or urban. In todays world to purchase a house, we need to consider a lot of factors as the cost of the property, type of house, location, and many more.

Gratefully Telangana government has launched the IGRS Telangana portal to guarantee transparency and liability in land transactions (link). The agreement should also cover the description of the rental property under the lease. There may be several presents inside the rental property. At times, landlords do not really add descriptions when buyer who has already taken a look on the rental property, thinking there is no point of adding details. They should definitely add the details of the rental property under the lease agreement. Furthermore, the lease agreement should include descriptions about kitchen area, common area, bathroom, parking facility etc. The project is estimated to cost 1.1 lakh crore (US$15 billion),[39] including the cost of 24 trainsets, interest during construction and import duties.[40] JICA agreed to fund 81% of the total project cost 88,087 crore (US$12 billion), through a 50-year loan at an interest rate of 0.1% with a moratorium on repayments up to 15 years[41] and the remaining cost will be borne by the state governments of Maharashtra and Gujarat.[42][43] 20% of the components used on the corridor will be supplied by Japan, and manufactured in India.[44] JICA officials visited Mumbai in January 2014 to discuss the details of the project, and made selective site visits to the proposed route link. If your neighbour responds positively to the notice served and the work can commence with their permission, then you most likely wont need to hire a party wall surveyor. Before the party wall notice is posted, have a chat with your neighbours about it first. Something so official can sometimes seem intimidating and so its better to discuss the process with them beforehand. Planning permission is not required to serve a party wall notice and, because you will have up to a year to start work once the notice has been served, it is a good idea to do this as soon as possible in order to avoid delays agreement. The right or privilege, in respect of scheduled international air services, of transporting, via the home State of the carrier, traffic moving between two other States. This means that an airline can carry passengers or cargo between two foreign countries, provided that the aircraft touches down in the airlines home country. The sixth freedom is not like the first five, as it is not incorporated as such into any widely recognized agreements amongst air services. The first freedom is the right to fly over a foreign country without landing.[6]:31 It grants the privilege to fly over the territory of a treaty country without landing more.

A major point of difference between centralized organization and decentralized organization is the direction in which the flow of information happens. Centralized organizational structures focus management authority and decision-making in a single executive team, with information flowing from top managers to various business units. Decentralized organizational structures, on the other hand, look more like multiple smaller representations of a single structure, featuring management redundancies and more close-knit chains of command. Understanding the difference between these two fundamentally different design philosophies can help you create an effective structure for your business. Once a company establishes its management levels, it must determine whether the business is set up as centralized or decentralizedopposite ends of a spectrum (http://www.threeriversweb.com/2021/04/08/briefly-explain-the-differences-between-centralised-and-decentralised-agreements/). If you dont have a real estate purchase agreement, you and the other party to the contract will not have a clear understanding of your rights, the possible risks, and any economic implications of those potential risks. Without an agreement, it will be much more difficult to negotiate the scope of each partys liability and enforce your legal rights. You may use a Real Estate Purchase Agreement for any type of residential property purchase or sale, as long as the home has either been previously owned, or construction will be finished prior to the closing date on the contract. What is Escrow? When you purchase a property, it is held by a third-party until the closing or possession date. It keeps the property, and any funds, from changing hands until all aspects of the agreement are met, such as home inspections, insurance information, and financing (here). The more important elements of the draft agreement are these:[21] The withdrawal agreement provides for a transition period until 31 December 2020, during which time the UK remains in the single market, in order to ensure frictionless trade until a long-term relationship is agreed. If no agreement is reached by this date, then the UK will leave the single market without a trade deal on 1 January 2021. Closely connected to the withdrawal agreement is a non-binding political declaration on the future EUUK relationship. On 15 November 2018, the day after the agreement was presented and received backing from the cabinet of the UK government, several members of the government resigned, including Dominic Raab, Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.[28] This triggered Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, which sets out the procedure for a Member State to withdraw from the Union, beginning a two-year countdown to withdrawal entry into force of the withdrawal agreement.
