A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a business structure where partners have limited liability, meaning they are not personally responsible for the debts of the business beyond their agreed contribution. It is governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008.

In contrast, a traditional partnership is governed by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, where partners have unlimited liability and can be held personally liable for the firm’s debts.

Key differences:
LLP is a separate legal entity, has limited liability, requires registration with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and offers more flexibility with less personal risk. A regular partnership is not a separate entity, has unlimited liability, and is easier to form but riskier for partners.

Police can search a home without a warrant in India in certain situations. Under Section 165 of the Criminal Procedure Code, if the police believe that important evidence is present and getting a warrant would cause delay, they may conduct a search. Similarly, under Section 41, if police are arresting someone without a warrant and suspect relevant evidence is at their premises, they can search the place. In urgent cases like chasing a suspect or preventing harm, searches can also be done. Consent from the occupant also allows a legal search. Special laws like the NDPS Act or UAPA may also permit warrantless searches under specific circumstances.
