Editing Corporate personhood (section)

===India===

Under Indian law the corporate, managing bodies, etc. and several other non-human entitles have been given the status of the "[[Legal person#India|legal person]]". In court cases regarding corporate, the shareholders are not responsible for the company's debts but the company itself being a "legal person" is liable to repay those debts or be sued for the non-repayment of debts. The non-human entities given the "legal person" status by the law "have rights and co-relative duties; they can sue and be sued, can possess and transfer property". Since these non-human entities are "voiceless" they are legally represented "through guardians and representatives" to claim their legal rights and to fulfill their legal duties and responsibilities. Specific non-human entities given the status of "legal person" include "corporate personality, [[body politic]], [[Charitable organization|charitable unions]] etc.", as well as [[Trust_law#|trust estates]], [[deity]], temples, [[church (building)|church]]es, [[mosque]]s, [[hospital]]s, [[University|universities]], [[college]]s, [[bank]]s, [[railways]], [[Municipality|municipalities]], and gram panchayats (village councils), rivers, all animals and birds.<ref name=IndiaLaw>[https://qz.com/india/1636326/who-apart-from-human-beings-are-legal-persons-in-india/ "Birds to holy rivers: A list of everything India considers 'legal persons{{'"}}], ''[[Quartz (publication)|Quartz]]'', September 2019.</ref>
