Corporate Criminal Liability: Finding Settled Shores? A Comment on Iridium India Telecom v. Motorola Inc.

I had written a comment on the Supreme Court decision in Iridium India Telecom v. Motorola Incwhich had been published in Volume 6 of the NALSAR Student Law Review, released in 2011.

The decision looks at aspects of Criminal Law including corporate personality and quashing of process under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The decision reversed the Bombay High Court judgement that quashed the issue of process in the case, and in doing so imported the “Identification Doctrine”, well ensconced in common law, into the Indian jurisprudence on corporate criminal liability.

The comment is available on the NSLR Website at: http://www.clatgyan.com/nslr/2011/5.pdf
