Hello Experts, I want a legal opinion. I was having a conversation with my friend and he told me that in certain situation clear title of property can be transferred from one person to another without Registry and without paying any stamp duty. eg. Partnership firms property. If a Plot is owned by a partnership firm with some partners. If the plot is brought by reconstituting the partnership firm by getting our names added in the partnership firm and retiring the existing partners in the partnership firm. By this process--- PLOT CAN BE BROUGHT BY NOTARISED PARTNERSHIP DEED ONLY NO REGISTY IN SUB REGISTRAR NEEDED NO STAMP DUTY HAS TO BE PAID TO GOVERNMENT . CLEAR TITLE WILL BE TRANFFERED BY THIS PROCESS I Don't what law says, BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE??????

Background:

Counterfeiting has emerged as one of the major problems globally. Counterfeit goods, including medicines, auto parts, electrical components, toys, food and beverages and many others, can be dangerous and can potentially harm or even kill consumers. The massive infiltration of counterfeit and pirated goods drains $1 trillion from the global economy and robs over 2.5 million jobs. The impact and consequences of counterfeiting are far-reaching. Not only does it infringe on intellectual property rights, the counterfeit goods also pose direct threat to consumer health and safety. That is why a countrywide cooperation as well as public and private sector collaboration to detect and decisively combat  counterfeiting activity has become the need of the hour. A truly integrated approach, involving key stakeholders such as global, national and local law enforcement bodies, NGOs, technology solution providers and corporations, can pave the way for the development and implementation of strategies to stop counterfeiting in its tracks.

The secret to  success is focusing your energy, not in fighting the old, but building the new! 

Today, we are in the era of transitional change and  revolution in the legal field.

Chief Justice Bhosale of Telangana & AP High Court in a recent dialogue quoted that the "Indian judiciary is going to crumble under its own weight".

This is owed to the inefficiency of the process and the large population, which makes the  future of judicial dispute resolution hazy!

A survey of 1000 largest corporates of the US showed that 79% of them used  ADR for dispute resolution which shows the new global shift in the legal arena. 

Now, being a new field, it is loaded with question marks at every step. For efficiently building and growing with the 'new' what we need as young lawyers is  guidance. 

And so, LAWyersClubIndia in collaboration with Gaurav Goyal, MCIArb has requested Mr. RATAN K SINGH FCIArb for a webinar on  Career in  Arbitration'. 

Mr. Singh is a pioneer in the field of arbitration practice and has decades of experience, having argued many cases, chaired numerous matters as an  arbitrator and lectured students and  lawyers all over the world. 

Excited?
Join us for this magnificent hour at 4 on the 22nd.
