A demerger is a corporate restructuring process in which one company split into two separate entities. The primary legislation (other than share transfers, for which there exist special regulations) that will govern demergers in India is prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013 and the Income Tax Act, 1961. By breaking apart, a company can increase its operational efficiency, hone in on its core competencies, and realize their value for greater shareholder gain, as each of the spun-off ventures can focus on its
unique market. It requires approvals from NCLT, shareholders and regulatory bodies like the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and, in some cases, the Competition Commission of India (CCI).

Waseem Mahmood — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, built on the Blue Nile, has been one of the most disputed legal issues in the area of international water law. The paper examines key legal questions pertaining to the GERD with regard to the principle of equitable and reasonable use, prohibition to cause significant harm, and poor execution of a binding tripartite agreement between Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan. The paper will analyze the historical treaties, particularly those of 1929 and 1959, which have long governed the distribution of the Nile's waters but today are a source of tension because of the rejection of its legitimacy by Ethiopia. It also goes on to analyze the role of international law in resolving transboundary water conflicts, underlining the United Nations Watercourses Convention and the role of international diplomacy. The GERD case illustrates the potential complexity of balancing the right of an upstream state to develop resources within its borders and dependency on shared water resources for states downstream. This paper assesses legal positions of parties involved and negotiation efforts against the overall larger implications for international river management and conflict resolution.
