Often in many different speeches and meetings people use the word 'persons'.Being told that the word 'people' is the pural noun of 'a person'.But many people around me use it especially when refering to a particle gruop.Is this correct?

Generally, "people" should be used as the plural of "person", but in law and notices, "persons" are used.
