Shruti Bedi — 2025-01-25

Counter-terrorism law is a major challenge to any country since it incorporates a wide range of regulations of domestic law. Its multi-layered nature makes it imperative for academics to highlight comparative insights with a view to resolving the threat. The changes in the mode, tactics, and targets of terror attacks have evolved and become more complex; terrorist cell groups continue to grow, and the nature of terrorist networks across national borders ensures that terrorism cannot be tackled effectively by ordinary means. This paper employs comparative doctrinal research that aims to analyze and understand the similarities and differences between legal rules in India and Indonesia. This paper takes on the challenging endeavor of scrutinizing the counter-terrorism legislation of both countries. It delves into the obstacles confronted by both countries, offering systematically organized details on their current anti-terrorism legislations. The aim and objective of such discussion is to draw inspiration and perceptions from one another’s jurisdiction to evolve a better law. The result of this study shows that, in India and Indonesia, the current counter-terrorism legislation heavily supports the authority of the State, often at the expense of civil liberties for citizens. It is essential to develop a holistic counter-terrorism framework that allows the State to effectively thwart terrorists and their activities, while simultaneously safeguarding the fundamental rights.

Limited Liability in Corporate Group: A Critical Examination under Common Law and Shariah in Malaysia

Nazri Ramli — 2025-01-25

Limited liability is a default rule in company law that protects shareholders from shifted-business risk in a company to external parties. Its application in the corporate group setting is heavily criticized for causing harm to the subsidiary’s creditors particularly. While this rule is proposed to be refined due to its rigidly unreasonable privilege and lack of justice, it becomes more complicated where the Shariah-compliant businesses have adopted this rule as their corporate structure. Despite this, the Malaysian company law recognizes the distinct legal personalities of entities within corporate group regardless their businesses are typically operated as a single entity. Contrastingly, limited liability is not established in Islamic business entities like sharikah (partnership) because the latter entails a single entity premised on a sharing-business risk among the partners. The study undertakes doctrinal analysis to examine the application of limited liability in corporate group under the Malaysian company law and compare it with the Shariah principles of sharikah. The study relies on the library-based research in collecting and gathering the data to support this methodology. The paper proposes to show whether the conventional rule of limited liability could be directly applied to group of companies operating Shariah-compliant businesses which supposedly comply its corporate structure with sharikah. The paper concludes that such direct application is untenable due to different natures and business structures. Examining this comparison is substantial to explore the essential of forming a new business model for Shariah-compliant corporate groups structured based on sharikah principles.
