legal awareness programs and identify the
socio-legal issues prevalent in the
community. By utilizing a scientific
questionnaire, they assess day-to-day
problems, levels of literacy, and the lack
of legal knowledge.With the support of the faculty, students offer legal advice to address
routine, social, and economic challenges. This outreach initiative has been an

MOOT PROPOSITION

1. Devanala1, one of the largest Country in Asia has a rich history in time with a
Democratic Federal System of Government. The policies of Federal
Government promised to make Devanala, one of the most developed Countries
in the World by 2028 as well as one of the most prominent tourist destinations.
The abundant flora and fauna, the eco-system in the islands privy to the Union
of Devanala was astounding and one of its kind, attracting lakhs of tourists
every year. One of the Islands of Devanala was Dvipa which had been rated
to be the most beautiful destination in the World having pink sand beaches.
Kutira was a luxury resort in Dvipa which attracted numerous tourists
including lone female travellers who considered the island as a safe haven.

2. Raktasura, a member of an ethnic group in Dvipa, a minor then in January

2019, along with three adults committed offenses under sections 354 and 376
of the Devanala Penal Code, 1860. Despite Raktasura being the accused who
committed the most heinous acts to the victim, he was remanded to the detention
center as he was 16 years at the time of commission of crime. While in
detention, he underwent psychiatric evaluation and was diagnosed with a
Multi Personality Disorder having shades of being violent and a threat to
others with or without provocations, more so towards women with sadism
and perversion.

3. In response to rising crime rates, particularly against tourists, the police

Commissioner of Dvipa introduced ‘ankle bracelets’ equipped with GPS
tracking for individuals with criminal antecedents and perceived to be a threat
to society. Raktasura, now employed as a pool attendant at the Kutira Luxury
Resort, was identified by the police as a candidate for wearing the ankle
bracelet due to his criminal history and tendencies as per his psychiatric
evaluation.

the year 2024, that Kotwal who was the Police Chief in Dvipa, proposed that
4. Despite widespread protest on the ground of privacy and colour of law, etc.,
pertaining to the system of ankle bracelets, the Police made Raktasura wear an
ankle bracelet. Mr. Joshi, a tourist at Kutira spotted the ankle bracelet on
Raktasura while he was discharging the scope of his duty in Kutira. Mr. Joshi
used AI Chat bots and other software to hack into the Data Records of Police to
find out the crime and act of Raktasura despite all reasonable precautions by the
Police Department. The technology accessed, and revealed all the details regarding
Raktasura’s criminal past. The Police Department failed to take necessary steps to
protect the Data in accordance of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 2.

5. Mr. Joshi being the National Editor for the ‘Verdict Times’ a prominent news
channel, was fond of uncovering and disseminating new information. Mr. Joshi
was shocked by Raktasura’s identity and criminal conviction and hence
published the information on media. Subsequently, Raktasura was
unceremoniously terminated from his e m p l o y m e n t at Kutira, as he was
seemed to be a threat to the guests. The media, sensing the whereabouts of
Raktasura started hounding him in order to interview about his story pertaining
to wearing ankle bracelet and breach of his privacy.

6. Raktasura moved the Supreme Court of Devanala by filing Writ Petition alleging
violation of his fundamental rights as guaranteed under Constitution of
Devanala, 1950, including Right to Privacy and Right to be left alone. He also
claimed for compensation jointly and severally for damage to his reputation and
regulation of AI in terms of Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and violation
of “Right to be Forgotten” by arraying the Commissioner of Police along with Union
of Devanala as Respondents.

7. The Commissioner of Police and the Union of Devanala, anticipating

Raktasura's legal action, had filed a caveat to the court. At the time of admission
of the above, Raktasura’s lawyers espoused Right to Privacy, Right to be Left
alone and Right to be Forgotten, and alleged that antecedent bad character or
conviction cannot be used to vex Raktasura and asserted the importance of
individual’s right.

19
2. For the Purpose of this Moot Proposition, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 1993 stands
notified by the Union Government of Devanala and the said Act shall be used for adjudication of
the moot proposition.
8. In contrast, the Commissioner of Police of Dvipa along with Union of Devanala
argued that the said Writ Petition espousing interest of society is required to be
protected. In accordance to the peculiar facts of the case and the restriction of
Article 19 of the Constitution of Devanala, free movement of certain persons is
required to be arrested if they are a threat to the society and also pressed into
argument of Right to Life of the citizens of Devanala.

9. The Supreme Court of Devanala recognizing the need to balance individual

rights with societal interests, issued notice to all parties involved and listed the
case for final arguments.

ISSUES

i. Whether the Hon’ble Supreme Court has the jurisdiction to address the
issues raised by Raktasura in Writ Petition as under the Constitution of
Devanala, 1950?

ii. Whether Dvipa has violated any fundamental right of Raktasura and is it
justified to introduce a system of Ankle Bracelets to be worn by the
convicts?

iii. Whether the State failed to take necessary steps to protect the Data as per
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023?

iv. Whether Dvipa can be held liable to compensate Raktasura for the acts of
Mr. Joshi in publishing his personal information in Media?
