like any juristic person, a company is a legal entity, apart from it's members? Capable of rights and duties of its own. Elucidate this statement.

  Certainly, the concept of a company as a juristic person, also known as a legal person or legal entity, is a fundamental principle in corporate law. It means that a company is treated as a distinct entity separate from its individual members (shareholders or owners). This principle has several key implications: 1.

What is Conceptual Position of Federalism ? Challenges before the Indian Federalism and Nature of Indian Constitution. Explain Cooperative Federalism.

  Conceptual Position of Federalism Federalism is a political system where power is divided between the central government and the constituent units (usually states or provinces) that make up the country. The central government and the constituent units have their own distinct powers, and neither can interfere with the other's constitutional responsibilities. At its core, federalism represents a balance between centralization and decentralization. The central government has certain powers that are essential for governing the country as a whole, such as defense, foreign policy, and national security. At the same time, the constituent units have certain powers and responsibilities that are better handled at the local level, such as education, healthcare, and law and order.
