as one of the leading law colleges in the country. The College has always strived for high

standards in imparting the knowledge for the development of all round personality of its

students.

As the name suggest “Vidhi Kiran” which means ‘Light of Law’, in the same manner

unique minds should come together and catalyze great thoughts and create a unique

experience. The fest has already commenced its journey in this direction.

The events in Vidhi Kiran are designed in all inclusive style which will provide the students

with the necessary skills for legal practice and develop self-confidence. This is a dynamic

ABOUT G. J. ADVANI LAW COLLEGE

G. J. Advani Law College was established under the aegis of the HSNC Board in the year 1977. Over the years, we have been recognized and ranked as one of the leading law Colleges in the country. G. J. Advani Law College has been a centre of excellence for legal studies and has produced several lawyers and legal minds of repute. We take pride in the fact that we promote co-curricular as well as extracurricular activities with great enthusiasm.

We strongly believe in our motto ‘Dharma Rakshati Rakshite’.....Vidhi Kiran is our most recent attempt to breathe life into this principle.

OBJECTIVE OF “VIDHI KIRAN” For many celebrated years the students of G. J. Advani Law College have gained experience and exposure by representing in various competitions at State, National and International level. These escapades inspired us to host our first Inter Collegiate Law Fest ‘VIDHI KIRAN’, in the year 2010-11 which also showed us the way to host a National Level Law Fest in the year 2011-12. Thus it gives us immense pleasure in announcing again our National Level Law Fest- “Vidhi Kiran, 2017-18”.

This Law Fest, as the name suggests, aims at spreading the ‘Light of Knowledge’ and bringing together the most creative and intellectual minds from Law Colleges across the country. It also encourages and inspires the law students to play a proactive role in their professional life later, by participating in the Fest. Also, through this festival, we hope to create a platform where students and faculty members from various law colleges in Mumbai and all over India can exchange their ideas, thus leading to the creation of a rich bank of knowledge for the progress of the society.

As the ‘KIRAN’ spreads in all the directions, similarly our aim to host various events under one roof of the fest is to cover various facets of legal field. This will provide the students with the necessary skills for legal practice and instill self-confidence. Efforts are on to organise such National Level Fest at the G. J. Advani Law College at least once a year, hereon… The events of the Law festival are: 1) Parliamentary Debate Competition 2) Letter to the Chief Justice Competition 3) Late Barrister H. G. Advani Memorial Moot Court Competition 4) Late Dr. L. H. Hiranandani Memorial Extempore Moot Court Competition.

2. MOTIONS 2.1 The motions for both preliminary and the final rounds will reflect a specific and well-known theme, and each of the two rounds will comprise of a motion.

3. PREPARATIONS

3.1 The teams have 30 minutes preparation time until the commencement of the debate in that round.

3.2 Competitors are expected to have a working knowledge of current events, history, political affairs, the social issues, etc.

3.3 Printed and prepared materials may be used during the preparation period. No access to electronic media or electronic storage or retrieval devices is permitted after motions have been released. This includes but is not limited to, all kinds of computers, electronic data banks, cellular phones, etc. Printed and prepared materials may be accessed during a debate, but may not be used by a speaker holding the floor.

3.4 Teams must prepare on their own. Once motions have been released, there must be no contact between debaters in a particular team and coaches, trainers, friends, observers or any other individual for the purposes of any kind of assistance. Such contact and assistance would be deemed as a ground for disqualification.

4. THE FORMAT OF THE ROUNDS The debate will consist of 6 speeches. The first four speeches are called "constructive”. The last two are "rebuttals." The order is as follows:

SPEAKING ORDER:

1. Prime Minister, or 1st Affirmative – 7 minutes

5.4 After POI has been offered, no further clarifications may be sought either by the speaker holding the floor or by the member offering the Point of Information, except strictly in situations where the Point of Information is clearly inaudible, and therefore a repetition of the same is necessary.

5.5 Points of Information are marked for their strategic use under ‘Method’, and for their content under ‘Matter’. Unwarranted use of points of information can be marked down under ‘Manner’.

6. ADJUDICATION 6.1 Debates are generally adjudicated by panels of three adjudicators, or where, this is not possible, by a single, senior adjudicator. The “Best Speaker” of the competition shall be determined on the basis of overall individual points in Final Round of the Competition.

6.2 Adjudicators will arrive at their decisions on an individual basis. A majority decision will prevail for each round of the competition.

7. DEFINITIONS 7.1 The definition is the interpretation of the motion as put forward by the Prime Minister in his opening remarks. There must exist a clear and logical link between the definition and the wording and spirit of the motion. The onus for establishing how the definition ties in with the given motion lies completely upon the Prime Minister. All subsequent speakers will only have a clarificatory role.

7.2 The definition should State the issue or issues arising out of the motion to be debated and State the meanings of any terms in the motion requiring clarification.

7.3 The definition should not be: 7.3.1 A truism (a matter Stated as fact).

7.3.3 Wholly unreasonable (displaying no clear or logical links to the motion).

8. CHALLENGING THE DEFINITION 8.1 The Opposition can challenge the definition advanced by the Government only on the basis of one or more of the above-mentioned conditions. The opposition must clearly State the individual condition/conditions based upon which it is challenging the definition.

8.2 The definitional challenge must be made in the speech of the Leader of the Opposition.

8.3 In the event of a challenge, the Leader of the Opposition must do all of the following – 8.3.1 Must justify his/her rejection of the definition. 8.3.2 Must supply a substitute definition. 8.3.3 The Opposition benches must then go on to negate the substitute definition. If the Opposition does not do all of the above it automatically loses the debate.

8.4 The onus to prove that a definition is unreasonable is on the Opposition, and will not be presumed by the adjudicators.

8.5 Definitions should not require members of the house to have access to, or possess, specific or expert knowledge.

8.6 If a definitional challenge is upheld, the team making the challenge wins but if the definitional challenge fails, then the team making such a challenge loses.

8.7 If more than one condition is stated as a ground for a definitional challenge, for the challenge to succeed it is sufficient that any one condition is upheld.

9. CRITERIA FOR MARKING THE DEBATE (BOTH FOR PRELIMARIES AND FINAL) 9.1 Teams failing to turn up for the debate on time, and with no valid reason, will lose the debate. The other team will then face-off against a stand-by swing team [non-competitive for the purposes of the competition] constituted by the host College.

LETTER TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE COMPETITION

Date: Saturday, 24th

February, 2018 No. of Participants: Each team will comprise of 2 participants. In the first event of Vidhi Kiran, we introduced a unique event- “Letter to the Chief Justice” competition. This event was inspired by cases where concerned members of civil society in India wrote to the Chief Justices of various High Courts or the Supreme Court, on Inland Letters or post cards, to draw attention to pressing issues. These letters were later converted into writ Petitions/SLPs. One such case is that of D. K. Basu & Others v/s State of West Bengal & Others, wherein D. K. Basu attached a newspaper article to an inland letter and sent it to the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court, to bring light to the issue of custodial deaths. Along similar lines, we have conceived this event, which entails writing a letter to the Chief Justice of India on an inland letter. General Rules:

1) The topic for the letter will be disclosed 15 minutes before the start of the competition, at the venue.

2) A blank Inland Letter will be provided to the participants at the time of the competition. 3) The letter should be hand written in English.

4) Participating teams should enter only their team code in the space provided for the address on Inland Letter provided to them. 5) The time allotted to write the letter will be 1 hour.

Guidelines for writing the letter:

1) Avoid excessive use of legal terms. Participants should keep in mind that this is a method of appeal used by the common man. 2) Clean and legible handwriting is welcome. 3) The letter should be formulated so as to emphasize the larger public interest of the given topic.

LATE BARRISTER H. G. ADVANI MEMORIAL

MOOT COURT COMPETITION, 2018

MOOT COURT PROBLEM

Citizens v/s The State of Indies

The State of Indies is the second most populous country in the world and has

democratic system of governance with a structure which is federal in nature and with a

unitary bias.

The State of Indies is also the largest democracy in the world and boasts of having a

population which is diverse in terms of its language, religion, caste and culture and

practices. The State of Indies is popular for its unity in diversity.

The State of Indies has a written Constitution which in its third part deals with the most

important facet of fundamental rights. State of Indies is a developing country and has

recently made rapid progress and growth in terms of technology and skill development.

The third part contains different provisions which are based or borrowed from different

Constitutions of the world like the American Constitution, the Irish Constitution and

many other constitutions. The third part of the Constitution of the State of Indies

guarantees to every individual fundamental rights amongst which are Articles 14, 19

and 21, and which rights have been popularly quoted as golden triangle.

The Supreme Court of India has in two judgments - in the case of M.P. Sharma and in

the case of Kharak Singh held that right to privacy is not a fundamental right. However,

the said question again fell for consideration before a recent nine judge bench which

while overruling the earlier two judgments, held that privacy is a fundamental right.

In the elections held in 2014 in the State of Indies, after a long time a singular political

party has come into power and now the said party has introduced the Aadhar Act which

makes it mandatory for all the citizens of the country to have an Aadhar Card and to link

the same to their respective bank accounts, phone numbers, income tax accounts etc.

The validity of the said Aadhar Act has been challenged by the citizens on the ground

that it violates the fundamental right to privacy and that the Govt wants to control the

details of all individuals. On the other hand, the government has argued that the act

does not breach the right to privacy.

In this backdrop, the matter is now listed before the Apex Court of Indies for final

arguments. Both parties are free to advance arguments in this behalf. Reference may

be given to various other such similar prevailing laws in various countries, both

developed and developing.

Note: 1) The laws and procedure of Indies are Pari Materia with the Laws of India.
