V. Ramasubramanian, J.1. $ 700 Billion bail out plan', 'Wall Street vanished', 'Lehman Brothers went belly up', 'Bear Stearns consumed', 'U.S. National Debt Clock runs out of digits' and 'AIG gone up in smoke' are some of the captions which have hit the headlines in recent times. All of those news items have a common denominator, called 'derivatives' and this case is all about derivatives.2. Since this appears to be the first case of its kind in India (subject to correction) where derivatives contracts are challenged as illegal and void and also since the jargon is not too familiar even to P.Ramanatha Iyer (of Law Lexicon) and Black (of Law Dictionary), a brief prelude has become necessary before we plunge into details.

Lord Siva in Guru Gita (Skanda Puranam) praises the Universal Guru thus:Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devo Maheshwara Guru Saakshaat Parabrahma Tasmai Sree Gurave Namah.(Guru is Brahma, Guru is Vishnu and Guru is the God Siva. Guru verily is the Param Brahma -- the Supreme Being. I (Siva) salute that auspicious Guru). This is the reason why we Indians bow to Guru -- a TEACHER and place a teacher on a pedestal just below the parents. The character and conduct of a teacher is expected to be more like a `Rishi' and as loco-perentis. We will shortly refer to two Supreme Court judgements in this regard. 2. This occasion to remind ourselves of these expectations as to 'the status and dignity of a teacher' has arisen in view of this petition which is filed by a male teacher against whom such charges are held proved which allege Moral Turpitude and Misconduct by such teacher involving exhibition of immoral sexual behaviour towards girl students of the 1st respondent co...
