take all possible measures to produce legal intellectuals who can meet the needs of law courts,legal firms, the judicial system, business
associations and education sector. Since, there are many appealing avenues in the multifaceted field of legal practice and jobs, comprising of
both government and Non-government spheres, the legal environment has undergone many drastical changes. I can remember that in the
early decades, that is from 1950s to 1990s, a large number of students choose the subject of law without any consideration of future career
prospects. But in current scenario, students are more concerned and knowledgeable about their career choices. In this revised scenario, we
propose to instruct and train the law students, who come from all walks of life, having different cultural, social and educational background, at
one common platform. With so many social issues prevailing around such as crime against humanity, particularly against women, corruption
and cyber crime, raising excellent law graduates has become essential in these days. We plan to spread legal knowledge and equip young
minds with the capacity to analyse and develop answers to modern problems. by setting up conferences, symposia, workshops, mood courts,
and seminars.

MOOT SOCIETY INTRODUCTION
Mooting is one of the most essential skills for any law professional. Moot courts or mock trials are
usually based on hypothetical cases, involving emerging or unsettled areas of law. Law studens, who
participate in these activities, are given opportunity to develop their research, legal writing and oral
advocacy skills in a mock courtroom setting. Additionally, moot court presentation inculcates
professional legal etiquettes in the students which equip them to adapt with courtroom practices.
A Moot Court Competition provides a platform to bring in different perspectives of the same case
before the judges and audience. Moot Court Competition, therefore, is the process where a student
can analyze a given problem with its proper legal background, make research about its historical
supportive articulations and demonstrate the same before a panel of judges after proper arguments
in ethical and professional manner. It brings the Law graduates close to real courtroom environment

 MOOT PROPOSITION
Ms. Jasmine aged 16 is a young and beautiful Muslim girl. She studies in 11th standard having medical
background. Being a laborious child since childhood she only concentrates in her studies and she is not
easily distracted by things happening around her. One fine day, the school she was studying in,
organized a science seminar and various eminent speakers were invited. Mr. Rajiv, a Hindu boy aged 28
years was also invited as a guest speaker because of his extra ordinary achievements in the field of
medical science. Ms. Jasmine, being one of the students attended the seminar. Awestruck by Mr. Rajiv’s
amazing discourse and professional communication skills and display of knowledge in the field of
medical sciences. Ms. Jasmine started considering him as her role model. Also, captivated by his charm
and personality, Ms. Jasmine in the wake of seeking guidance for further studies approaches Mr. Rajiv.
She managed to secure his contact number through the pamphlets distributed during the seminar.
The very next day she calls him for guidance in the medical profession and also complemented him for
his extremely attractive personality and communication skills. Surprised by her confidence in such an
age, Mr. Rajiv expressed his gratitude towards her compliment and guided her efficiently for future
endeavours in the medical profession. Soon Ms. Jasmine started contacting Mr. Rajiv frequently for
one or the other reasons. The relationship of guide and student soon turned into the relationship
offriends followed by meeting for coffee dates, going on long drives and sharing their secrets with
each other and this went on for two months.
Suddenly, one day Ms. Jasmine confessed her feelings to Mr. Rajiv. Mr. Rajiv who was also astonished
by her beauty but was reluctant to take the first step due to the age difference accepted her proposal
happily. The friendship soon turned into relationship. The fact of this relationship was no more a
clandestine affair and Ms. Jasmine parents started objecting to this. Ms. Jasmine with each passing day
was getting determined to marry Mr. Rajiv who was equally supporting her in her decision to marry
him. There were several attempts by parents of Ms. Jasmine to make her understand about the adverse
consequences of this relationship and also warned her if she did not listen to them. However, all they
had to face was a debacle. Ms. Jasmine parents also threatened Mr. Rajiv to stay away from their
daughter but all went in vain and one fine day Ms. Jasmine voluntarily eloped with Mr. Rajiv. Both of
them directly went to the temple and solemnized their marriage according to Hindu ceremony.
Sensing the threat to their life from Ms. Jasmine’s family, the couple sought legal advice. Their counsel
Mr. Bhalla advised them to file a writ petition under Article 226 read with Article 21 of the Indian
Constitution in the judicature of Hon’ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana. The case was listed, and the
matter was called up for hearing. Mr. Bhalla appearing for the petitioners argued before the Hon’ble
High Court seeking directions from the Hon’ble High Court to concerned Superintendent of Police as
he pleaded that if the relief is not granted the couple might become the victim of Honour Killing. In his
petition, Mr. Bhalla attached the photographs of their marriage that were taken during their marriage
ceremony in the temple.
He further contended that Ms. Jasmine who was one of the petitioners in the present case is a Muslim
girl governed by Muslim Personal Law and in Muslim Law, Puberty and Majority are one and the same
thing and it is a presumption that a person governed by Muslim Law attains majority at the age of 15
years since Ms. Jasmine has crossed the age of puberty, she is free to marry any person of her choice
and there cannot be any sort of interference in her decision. Hence, they are validly married to each
other and are seeking protection. At the outset, the Court following the precedent in the case of Yunus
Khan v. State of Haryana opined the law is clear that the marriage of Muslim girl is governed by the
Muslim Personal Law, the Court further held that the danger to the life of the couple in fact was real and
being a constitutional Court addressed their apprehension and passed the order issuing directions to
the Superintendent of Police for the protection of their fundamental right of their Life and Liberty
under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution but without making any remarks regarding the validity of
the marriage of the couple. The Court further observed that merely because the petitioners have got
married against the wishes of their family members, they cannot possibly be deprived of fundamental
rights as enshrined in the Constitution, it being the grundnorm. The Court did grant the asked relief
without entering upon an exercise to evaluate the evidentiary value of the documents placed on
record. The Court also observed that this Order shall not be construed in the sense to not initiate any
action against petitioners, for violation of other laws, by them, if any. Alongside, the Hon’ble High
Court also granted the custody of Ms. Jasmine to Mr. Rajiv.
In pursuant to this Order, the couple started living together. After six months, the couple started
having persistent arguments on one or the other things. These continuous arguments and this sore
relationship mentally drained Ms. Jasmine. Being frustrated with all this, Ms. Jasmine decided to return
to her parents who were any day happy to welcome her back alone. Mr. Rajiv made no attempts to
bring Ms. Jasmine back which turned this marriage into a bogus relationship. Convinced by her
parents’ advice and realising her mistake, Ms. Jasmine decided to end this marriage and thereby she
along with her parents approached the police to register an FIR against Mr. Rajiv as she has now
believed that Mr. Rajiv took the benefit of her adolescence. An FIR was registered under Sec 361 and
Sec 503 IPC, Sec 3 and Sec 4 of POCSO and Sec 9 & Sec 10 of Child Marriage Prohibition Act. Following
this FIR, medical examination of Ms. Jasmine was conducted at a Govt. Medical College and the doctor
gave his expert opinion that the possibility of attempted sexual intercourse cannot be ruled out. Mr.
Rajiv came to know about all the proceedings that were being initiated against him through a common
friend and approached Mr. Bhalla again for his legal advice to protect him against the penal
consequences who in return, filed on his behalf an Anticipatory Bail Application which was denied by
the District and Session Court.
Thereafter, he moved to the Hon’ble High Court which allowed his Anticipatory Bail Application.
Mr. Bhalla on behalf of Mr. Rajiv moved another Application under Sec 482 of CRPC for quashing of
FIR which was registered by the police on the instance of Ms. Jasmine against him, before the
Hon’ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana. The Counsel for the petitioner pleaded that it was in
pursuance of the Orders of this very Hon’ble High Court, that the estranged couple were living
together as husband and wife and he drew the attention of the Hon’ble High Court to the fact that it
was this Hon’ble Hight Court which granted the custody of the informant (Ms. Jasmine) to Mr.
Rajiv. Submitting his final arguments, the Counsel of petitioner, Mr. Bhalla pleaded that the FIR is
liable to be quashed in the light of above Orders by this very Hon’ble Court. He also
questioned the charges that were levied against his client in the light of above Orders. The Hon’ble
High Court rejected the petition for quashing of FIR as it relied on the fact that they had already in the
above-mentioned Order made clear that the Order granting the protection to petitioner was not
meant to immune the petitioners from any legal action that could be initiated against them for
committing any offence under other statutes, if any. Crestfallen and aggrieved by the decision, Mr.
Rajiv decided to challenge the Order of Hon’ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana before the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India sensing the gravity of the present issue, in
absence of any particular legislation and also for framing the guidelines regarding the disposal of such
cases granted the petitioner a Special Leave to Petition under Article 136 of the Indian Constitution.
Notices were issued to the concerned parties i.e., State of Punjab and also the Union of India. Argue
from both sides.
Issues raised:
• Whether the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana was justified in granting protection to the
estranged couple under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution or not?
• Whether the Order granting the custody of the estranged wife to the petitioner immune him from the
subsequent offences, if any or not?
• Whether the FIR against Mr. Rajiv is liable to be quashed or not?
• Whether the Hon’ble High Court under the shield of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution indirectly
promoted Child Marriage and by passed any other special statutes?
• Whether in such cases the personal laws take over or it is the special statutes that takes the lead
