What are the for and against arguments for bicycle helmets?..

Answer / Shiv Ram

For bicycle helmets:
1. Safety: Helmets can reduce the risk of head injuries, concussions, and brain damage during accidents.
2. Cost-effectiveness: A helmet can be a small investment compared to hospital bills resulting from an accident.
3. Legal Requirements: Some jurisdictions mandate bicycle helmets for riders of all ages or specific age groups.
4. Role Modeling: Setting examples of safety practices, such as wearing a helmet, can encourage others to do the same.

Against bicycle helmets:
1. Personal Freedom: Some argue that adults should have the right to decide whether or not to wear a helmet without government intervention.
2. Discomfort and Heat: Helmets can be uncomfortable during long rides, especially in hot weather.
3. Reduced Visibility: Helmets may obstruct the rider's peripheral vision or reflect light at night, potentially causing distractions.
4. Perception of Danger: Wearing a helmet might unintentionally convey that riding a bicycle is inherently risky, which could discourage people from cycling.

In the Companies Act, 1956 there is no ward as ‘Wholly Owned Subsidiary’ (WOS), WOS means a company of which entire equity share capital is held by other Company. For example A company holds entire equity shares of B Company in this case B Company is WOS of A Company. Question: Now the Question is X company has paid up equity share capital of Rs.50000 (5000 shares each of Rs.10).Out of which Y company holds 4990 shares in its own name and remaining 10 shares Y Company holds in its name in 10 different folios (one share in each folio) along with 10 different individuals in the style first name is of Y limited and second (joint name) of individuals like A,B , C…… to J.In such case will X limited be deemed to be a WOS of Y Company ?
