Sr. Advocate Prof.Bhim Singh participates in Legal Seminar in Mumbai

Mumbai, 27th April. Prof.Bhim Singh, Sr. Advocate, Supreme Court of India & Sr. Executive Member of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) participated in the national seminar/conference in Mumbai today which discussed legal effects of the British time Law in India on Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code. The seminar was inaugurated by Justice N.V. Ramana, Judge of the Supreme Court of India. Chief Justice of Mumbai High Court presided the seminar. The debate ran for the whole day criticizing the code and its after effects on the businessmen and the money lenders. Prof.Bhim Singh who is Sr. Executive Member of SCBA felt hard on the subject and said that bankruptcy vis-à-vis loan takers and after effects of this process does not have any effect on more than 70% of the population in India as this subject was closely related to the high power traders and businessmen in the country. He expressed hope that institutions like Bar Associations should come out with the democratic socialist doctrine which was the soul of Constitution of India as was intended by the constitution framers in 1950. Prof.Bhim Singh who travelled the whole world on two-wheels for more than five years and studied the working economy in Asia and Africa in particular said that the old colonial laws framed by the then rulers lost their relevance after India attained democracy. It is the total failure of the Parliament which has been working for the protection of growth of the traders and millionaires instead of implementing the doctrine socialism and to make people’s oriented democracy. He said that it was shocking that Parliament of India could not bring in common laws for the citizens of India nor it could introduce pro-people economic system supported by the legislation but the Parliament had proved failure to introduce the pro-people legislation instead it has remained singing phrases for the black and anti-proletariat laws.

Secretary), Mr. Vikas Bansal (Treasurer), Mr. Rohit Pandey (Jt. Treasurer) Mr. Upendra Narayan Mishra, Ms….
