Dear Friends,

It is my proud privilege to welcome you to the 2nd issue for 2009 of India Law Journal which is a global law journal with a presence in 4 countries namely India, Singapore, U.K and U.S.A.

This issue focuses on important legal issues like the pros and cons of the newly amended companies bill 2008, the LLP act introduced by the Parliament, free trade agreements, feasibility of live-in-relationships which is currently being debated in the Parliament and acquisitions in the past one year that have taken India Inc. global. This issue also focuses on the judicial interpretation on the foreign jurisdiction clause with respect to Bangladesh thereby giving us an idea as to how similar and how different are the laws of our sub-continent neighbours as compared to Indian laws. This month’s interview of the month deals with various topical issues which are being currently being debated about in the legal services sector in India while the historical trials section deals with the trial of Nathuram Godsay who was the assassinator of the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to all those who have extended their unflinching support for the launch of India Law Journal, particularly our esteemed Board of Editors. I also wish to convey my sincere gratitude to the erudite personalities who have contributed invaluable articles for publication. Your feedback will be extremely useful.
