 INTRODUCTION
This report examines the internship period at Tis Hazari Courts with Advocate
Mr. G.K. Chauhan. I have completed my internship under Advocate Mr. G.K.
Chauhan in the month of October-November and it was a great learning
experience for me. The internship gave me the opportunity to observe the
exchanges between the bar and the bench and learn about the working of the
legal systems and courts. I dealt with people directly and looked into their
problems under the able guidance of Mr. G.K. Chauhan. I visited different
Courts regarding different matters fixed in courts in daily routine where I got an
opportunity to observe their working. It was a valuable insight into the actual
working of courts and lawyers. Not all legal acts happen in courts, a lot of legal
mind is applied behind the canvas of court, inside a lawyer’s chamber. A great
deal about planning, counselling, legal drafting, brainstorming, and record
maintenance is taken up by a lawyer to make a good case.

The things I learned during my internship period can be enumerated as follows:

• Observing client interviewing and counselling

• Drafting of legal documents

• Filing criminal complaint

• Observing Examination-in-Chief and Cross-examination

• Getting uncertified copies of Examination-in-Chief

• Preparing List of dates and appendices

• Observing framing of charges

• Observing arbitration proceedings

• Drafting Statement of Claims and arbitration agreement

• Effectively using legal databases

• Observing final arguments

The internship diary gives an account of all the legal work that I undertook
during my internship period. It is divided in two parts

• PART A- It contains the factual and analytical information about the

internship. It has been presented as work undertaken in a date-wise manner.

• PART B- It contains two legal documents that I drafted during my internship

 PART-A

FACTUAL AND ANALYTICAL

INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP

DAY 1

I entered into the Chamber of Mr G.K. Chauhan , where I was made familiar
with their working style and how I would have to go about the work in future
for a month. I was being told about FIR and its 3 types, i.e. (a) When accused is
not found and hence case gets closed (b) When accused is found guilty and
therefore charge-sheeted or (c) When there is a false report, it is send for
cancellation by the Magistrate/Judge as the case may be. Then, Sir had asked
his assistant to take all interns to a Metropolitan Magistrate’s court no. 150, so
that we can see the proceedings of the court, as Sir was late. There I observed
the judge was dealing with a theft case “State v Untrance”. A woman had
lodged an FIR against an unknown who took her chain from main bazaar
Kashmere Gate. Police was not able to find the accused and hence Mr. Abhilash
Malhotra, MM closed the case after informing the lady and getting her consent.
It was the day when I realized the burden on Judges; they deal with more than
40 cases in a day. If every Judge starts dealing with cases speediously, then
there won’t be left anyone away from justice.
Thereafter, Sir came and he gave a brief about all the cases he was dealing with,
which were pending in the court. Because it was my first day of Internship, he
didn’t want to exhaust me with much work. So he normally explained me my
work which I was to start with from the next day and then I left for home.

Day 2
Firstly, I was asked to read Section 57 and Section 163-175 of Code of Criminal
Procedure and make an analytical report on it, which later on I had presented to
Sir. Thereafter, I was given a bail application so that I can go through it and see
how to draft it. It was in the matter of State v Imran where Imran was caught
red handed while he was trespassing. His bail application got rejected. Sir asked
me to read bail Sections of CrPC to have a better understanding about the
grounds when a bail can be granted and when not. After this I was given a case
file to read, in the matter of:

State v Manoj Kumar

• Manoj Kumar, a bus driver was arrested for negligently driving a bus under
section 279 read with section 304A of IPC.

• He was arrested after the due procedure of law was followed and an FIR was
registered against it.

• A charge sheet was submitted and a case was instituted in court.

• Statement of witnesses and accused were recorded.

• Basing on all the evidences and facts the court convicted the accused.

• Appeal to be filed, if preferred.

The reading basically made me aware about the practical procedure after an FIR
is registered.

Day 3
I was asked to read Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Regulation of
livestock market) Rules 2017. There was a recent case of State v Manikram
with which Sir was dealing. Attended hearing in the matter of:

State v. Manikram

• Manikram was involved in marketing of animals which is a crime in law.

• He was taking some cows in a truck when he was caught by police.

• After the due procedure of law, Manikram was arrested and his truck got
sealed.

• Manikram managed to get bail and therefore he had put an application in

court through Sir, for the release of truck.

• On the very day the case was put up for hearing.

• Court didn’t accept the application for the release of truck.

• Therefore, Sir with Manikram planned to make an appeal against the order.

State v. Akash

 This case pertains to the section 307,IPC (attempt to murder) and section
506 ,IPC (Criminal intimidation) alongwith the section 6 of POCSO act
 I read the chargesheet ,bail application and its denial by sessions
judge,statement of prosecution under section section 161 and 164 ,CrPC.
After the hearing, I discussed the ‘Sources of Law’ of Anticipatory bail with
Sir. Sir mentioned a few case laws for reading.

Case Laws

-Balchand Jain v. State of Madhya Pradesh (1976) [Introduced the concept of

anticipatory bail]

- Gurbaksh Singh v. State of Punjab (1978) [Concluded that FIR is not a

condition precedent]

- Chandrashekhar Rao v. Kamla Kumari (1993) [Said that Session Judge

should be approached for Anticipatory Bail]

- Somabai Chaturbai Patel case

Day 4
To have a bit more, better understanding about procedural law and when, what
sections to be used, another case file was given to have a thorough reading, in
the matter of:

Manohar Singh v. State

• It was a case of appeal to the High court against an order passed by the trial
court which convicted the appellant for the offence of kidnapping undersection
363 and 364 of the Indian Penal Code.

• The prosecution alleges that Sita, the main accused came to the victim’s house
claiming to be a worker. Anita (the victim’s mother) went inside for a minute or
two, when Sita left 10 taking Anita’s one and a half month old son with her in a
vehicle being driven by the appellant.

• Anita filed an FIR in the police station and a sketch of Sita was prepared and
circulated.

• During investigation, the main accused and the appellant were caught. Sita
revealed that she took away the child with an intention to raise him as her own
child. However, the child fell sick and his condition deteriorated every day.
When she realised that his situation was critical she left him and that was the
last time she saw him.

An appeal has been filed by the appellant on the ground that he was not
involved in the kidnapping and had no knowledge of the main accused’s
intention. His job was to take her from one place to another and thus pleads
innocence.

Day 5
Attended hearing in the case of:

IN THE MATTER OF:

State v. Mohan Kumar & Ors.

Three accused persons namely, Mohan Kumar, Nitin Rana and Jagminder
@Jagga Bhai intentionally collided with the vehicle (i.e. Four Wheeler Honda
City) of complainant Ankit Soni at Gulabi Bagh. The accused persons started
scuffling with the complainant in furtherance to commit robbery with the
complainant but the local public present there came in between and made hold
of accused persons. Complainant dialled 100 and Police was called at the spot
and the complainant was taken to Hospital for medical. After obtaining the
medical report and recording the statement of the complainant an FIR was
registered at P.S. Gulabi Bagh, Delhi. In this matter robbery was attempted but
not done. No article was evolved as the robbed one, and so sections of robbery
were not included in FIR. Now the matter is in court at the stage of prosecution
evidence.

SECTIONS INVOLVED: 323, 341, 506, 34 IPC

OBSERVATION: All the accused persons were on bail and they were present
before the court with counsel and the matter was fixed for prosecution evidence.
As the complainant was not present, so a next date of hearing was given and
court issued a notice for the appearance of the complainant.
ORDER/JUDGMENT: PENDING

Day 6
Hearing in the matter of:

Kashif v. Eshan Mirza Beg & Ors

• The accused borrowed monies amounting to Rs. 18,50,000 on different

occasions with the help of other accused on the promise that he would repay the
entire amount.

• The cheques bearing the specific dates & covering the said entire amount
were issued on complainant’s name.

• The accused kept convincing through e-mails and messages not to encash the
cheques on the pretext of giving him monies through cash payment until the
date of encashment lapsed.
• The complainant filed police complaint to the concerned ACP, DCP and the
SHO, but no action was taken by the police. Thus, a complaint u/s 156(3) was
filed. (U/s 405, 406, 415, 416, 420).

The case was listed for arguments and the following was submitted by the Ld.
Counsel of complainant:

1. Investigation was defective. The Investigating officer (IO) merely for the
sake of completing the investigation, called out the complainant one day before
the date of submission of the police report, wrote his statement and submitted
his report without recording, investigating and interrogating the accused.

2. The complainant has reasonable suspicion that the investigation carried out
by the concerned IO has been or is being influenced by the other accused. For
the purpose of fair investigation, a request was made to change the concerned
IO.

3. In the Police Report, The IO submitted that this is purely a civil suit & no
criminal case lies against it. The Ld. Counsel submitted that the accused has
absconded and the complainant is not the only victim whom accused has duped,
others are also cheated by him. The court, therefore, ordered for another
investigation and also reprimanded the concerned Investigation officer. The
Investigating officer has been asked to submit another report in the next hearing.

Day 7
The matter was up in High Court in the case of:

Ahmed Jamal Siddiqui v. Jamia Millia Islamia University

• The Petitioner- Mr. Ahmed Jamal Siddiqui, already a final year student at
Respondent 1 University, applied for various post graduate courses i.e. M.A
public, M.A (HRM), M.Sc. (Chemistry), M.Sc. (Maths with CS) & MCA, by
filling up online application form believing that he has entered all the details
correctly.

• When the result of M.Sc (Mathematics with Computer Science) was declared,
he came to know of his category which was marked Kashmiri Migrant. The
bona fide mistake could be attributed to some technical glitch of scrolling up
and down at the time of filling of online form.

• It was completely an inadvertent and bona fide mistake as he also marked his
category a general category for admission purposes.

• Immediately, petitioner made a representation to the Respondent 2 &

Respondent 3 by an application about his concerns of his merit not being
considered under general category and his name being shown under Kashmiri
Migrant category and requested to rectify such a bona fide mistake in respect of
courses whose merit lists were not out. In this regard, he also met respondent 3
personally. Thus, being aggrieved by no response from Respondents, Petitioner
again went to meet Respondent 3, nothing happened 13 except some vague
answers given by respondent 3 about taking some actions which were not
actually taken.

• The Petitioner had also filed an RTI to know the status of the application, but
no reply was tendered.

• Hence, the present writ petition.

The whole day went in High Court, presenting the writ petition. I didn’t get
chance to draft the petition of course as I am not a professional advocate right
now but I read the petition.
Day 8
Hearing in the matter of:

State v. Deepak Chaudhary

• Wife of accused namely Roshni committed suicide and she left behind a
suicide note in which she has written the name of his husband Deepak
Chaudhary.

• Allegations in the suicide note were of cruelty and harassment by Deepak on

Roshini.

• On the basis of the suicide note, sister of the deceased registered an FIR.

• The accused was arrested and at present is in judicial custody.

SECTIONS INVOLVED: 498A/304B/306 IPC

OBSERVATION:

• Accused was produced from the judicial custody with Counsel.

• Matter was fixed for arguments on charge under section 498A, Section 304B,
Section 306 of IPC.

• Arguments on charge were heard.

• Resulting thereof, charges were amended/modified to section 306 IPC only.

• The charges were altered as the suicide note did not have any allegations of
dowry demand.

• Now the matter is fixed for Prosecution Evidence.

• Date of next hearing was given.

Day 9
Started the day by hearing on the matter, in the case of:

Vishal Aggrawal v. Nitin Sharma

CROSS EXAMINATION

• The case of cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property against
the accused person was tried under section 406/420 of IPC 1860.

• The accused was alleged to flew away with amount of Rs. 6,00,000 of the
complainant.

• The cross examination of the complainant was to be done on that day.

• Counsels of both the parties were present.

• The cross examination of the complainant was done by asking multiple

questions regarding whether the accused was employed by him or not, what was
the term of his job, who managed the collection of payments, who managed the
accounts etc.

• The complainant was asked to produce the salary slips and other documents on
the next date. The cross examination was further deferred.

OBSERVATION

The judge actively participated and was listened to the complainant closely. The
counsel for complainant was scolded by judge for intervening and leading the
complainant. At various points the counsel for complainant tried to give hint to
complainant. But the counsel appearing for the accused was very sharp in
pointing out certain things that could turn out to be in his favor. It was good to
see both the Counsels arguing. The visit to this hearing was paid off
successfully. Later on after attending cases in the court, I was asked to research
on the liability of the defendant party in case of dishonour of cheque u/s 138 of
the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 and u/s 420 of IPC. I was required to read
case file of the running case.

Day 10
A written submission had to be filed for an appeal in the High Court in a case of
medical negligence and I was asked to assist in the drafting process in the case
of:

T.K. Chakravarty v. State

• The deceased/victim i.e. Mukesh Patra went with his father (respondent no. 2
namely Vasant Patra) to the appellant claiming slight pain in his knee.

• The appellant started the ATT of the victim stating that he was suffering from
TB of bone. Biopsy was also suggested, however, the same was not carried out.

• When the respondent’s condition worsened, the appellant assured his parents
that he’ll soon be okay.

• Later, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and had to get his leg amputated.
However, this was not where his sufferings ended and he lost his life.

• A case was filed against the appellant with an FIR being recorded under
section 304A of the IPC.

• The Delhi Medical Association as well as the Indian Medical Association

found him guilty. However, he filed an appeal in the State Authority where he
was proved innocent.

• The case went to the trial court and the trial court found him guilty.
• The appellant has filed an appeal in the High Court against the decision of the
trial court seeking the quashing of FIR under section 482 Cr.P.C.

I was asked to look into cases, journals or reports that felicitate the research
with respect to the said case and establish the following points:

1. Delay in treating osteosarcoma can lead to death or limb loss.

2. The ideal procedure for starting ATT was not conducted.

3. Giving the wrong treatment aggravated the victim’s condition: Side effects of
the wrong treatment led to the victim’s leg being amputated and finally his
death.

4. Look into the laws relating to medical negligence in India.

RESEARCH

Giving the wrong treatment aggravated the victim’s situation

The paper titled “Anti-tuberculosis medication side-effects constitute major

factor for poor adherence to tuberculosis treatment” published in their
journal by the Bull World Health Organ in 2008, Volume 86(3) discussed the
side-effects that TB treatment could have on patients. It provides:

“Two significant issues that require further clarification in Garner et al.’s

stimulating paper (Promoting adherence to tuberculosis treatment) are the
impact of medication side-effects on treatment adherence as well as how
adherence to tuberculosis (TB) chemotherapy should be defined and monitored.
The treatment regimen recommended within the DOTS approach is associated
with significant side-effects. Side-effects such as hepatitis, dyspepsia,
exanthema and arthralgia were responsible for termination of therapy in up to
23% of patients during the intensive phase. Medication side-effects were also
found to be significantly associated with defaulting. At Kyrgyzstan prisons,
where the author worked as a TB doctor in early 2007, medication side-effects
were among the most common reasons for patient non-attendance at DOTS
clinics. The author observed similar non-attendance and defaulting trends
among community-based TB patients in northern Nigeria during the 1990s. The
side-effects profile of TB chemotherapy is magnified in patients with concurrent
HIV treatment and/or prior history of hepatitis, and those being treated with
second-line drugs for multidrug-resistant TB, during 16 which as many as 86%
of patents may develop medication side-effects. To minimize the adverse
impact of medication and side-effects in TB treatment adherence, it is important
that TB health staff is adequately trained on their recognition and management.
Such training should include how to provide concise pre-treatment counselling
to patients on possible sideeffects of treatment. It is also important that
medications for managing side-effects should be ordered concurrently with the
ordering of anti-TB chemotherapy to facilitate timely and adequate treatment of
such side-effects.”

DAY 11
Bail application in the matter of:

State v. Rajesh and Others

• A police informer informs the police that some boys make a plan of robbery in
a petrol pump.

• The informer tells the police that in ST block, Rohini, the road which is
connected to gate no. 4, there is a silent house.

• In the house there are 5 boys which have a plan to rob a petrol pump.

• Police takes action at the movement and reach that place.

• Police arrests 4 boys whereas the 5 th boy manages to run away.

• A relative of Rajesh makes a bail application in court.

Sections under which the persons were arrested: 399, 402, 186, 353, 332,
307 of IPC and section 25 of arms act.

Sir asked me to draft a bail application for the arrested four boys.

Day 12
Attended the proceedings in the matter:

Mukta Mani v. Dinesh Kathuri

Appearing on behalf of the appellant

• The appellant filed the initial complaint due to the atrocities and harassment
she has faced from the very beginning of her marriage.

• It is a case of cross application for appeal.

• An appeal was filed by the appellant under section 29 of the Domestic

Violence Act, 2005 against the order passed by the Metropolitan Magistrate
providing maintenance of Rs. 20,000 only and seeks to raise the said amount.

• On the other hand, an appeal was filed by the respondent to abate the amount
of maintenance awarded by the court alleging that his wife was self-sufficient
and had the resources to maintain her.

• The appellant asserts that she has no source of income and is unemployed
while the respondent earns around Rs. 5 lakh per month and has a lavish
lifestyle which was not taken into consideration while providing maintenance
by the court.
• Inversely, the respondent contends that his wife leads a better life than him,
while he dealing in a business of electric wires manages to earn only Rs.
13,000-14,000 per month. Income Tax returns were attached as to substantiate
such claims.

• Evidence was produced by the appellant showing that the respondent is the
owner of a factory, owns a number of expensive cars and led an affluent life.

• The main complaint had been filed by the appellant under section 12 of the
Protection of Women from the Domestic Violence Act, 2005.

• Criminal appeal has been filed under section 29 of the Protection of Women
from the Domestic Violence Act against the order passed by the metropolitan
magistrate providing maintenance of Rs. 20,000 only.

• A next date for hearing was given.

DAY 13
Attended a matter at cross examination stage

Represented the complainant

Shalini Bangia v. Neeraj Bangia

• In the court of Ms. Manu Vedwan, Metropolitan Magistrate Mahila Court, Tis
Hazari application made under section 12 of the Protection of Women from
Domestic Violence Act, 2005.

• Marriage between the complainant and the respondent was solemnized in

1998. Post their marriage the respondent’s behaviour changed and the
complainant was subjected to aggressive behaviour and was also asked to part
away from her jewellery.
• She was not allowed to complete her education and was taunted every day for
not bringing sufficient dowry.

• The complainant alleges that the respondent is a drunkard and has had
multiple affairs post their marriage also and she lost one of her children due to
the physical atrocities she was subjected to.

• Even post the birth of her female child, her sufferings did not come to an end.
She was pressurised to have a male child even though she was not physically fit.

• There were instances where the respondent’s father-in-law tried to sexually

abuse her and her elder daughter.

• Thus, the complainant was subjected to extreme physical, emotional and

financial abuse by the respondents.

• The abuse in the matrimonial home has mounted to a point where the
complainant and her children were in danger of their life and it was important
for their safety to remove them from their matrimonial home and thus seeks
relief from the honourable court.

PRESENT HEARING

It was submitted by the proxy counsel for the complainant that the main counsel
for the complainant was not available and the Ld. Counsel for the respondent
submitted that she had to rush to the Hon’ble Delhi High Court as she is having
urgent matter pending there. Thus, in the interest of justice the matter was
adjourned and the next date for conducting the cross examination was given.

Day 14
In the matter of:
Anjali Dhawan v. Delhi Public School and Others

FACTS: Here, the Complainant was a teacher in the Defendant School and she
was removed from her job arbitrarily after extending her contract from time to
time many a times; stating that she is not qualified for the post. She had earlier
abandoned her job n the Architectural firm when she was convinced to accept
this job and pursuant to this she did B.Ed from CCS University, result of which
is awaited.

PROCEEDINGS: The Defendant school had to submit their written statement

but they could not do so stating a technical reason for the default on their part.
The Court fixed a next date of hearing after admonishing the opposite party and
said that it was the last chance for them to file the written statement and argue
the matter failing which they will lose their right to argue and the Tribunal will
proceed further with the proceedings as it was causing harm to the Complainant
who was appearing on every date diligently and had to go through the mental
agony due to the loss of job.

OBSERVATIONS: I observed that the Tribunal was quite strict in its course of
action which is appreciable as the conduct the Defendant party was causing
delay in serving justice and was also abusing the process of law. Think that such
stands and conduct of any party should be dealt strictly by the Court in order to
dissuade such malpractices.

Day 15
During the course of my internship, today was the day when I dealt with a
matter of high class people. I was really happy when Mr. G.K. Chauhan
informed me that we were to deal with a Home Ministry case today.
In the matter of:

Sushma Rani v. Ministry of Home Affairs and Anothers

FACTS: The petitioner was transferred from Delhi to Mumbai by the

Intelligence Bureau Department. She was not mentally prepared for such
transfer as she was a single mother of one boy; moreover, she had her parents in
Delhi who were also in their old age and required care and someone to look
after them. Therefore, this petition is against the transfer order to quash it and
place the petitioner in Delhi Branch.

PROCEEDINGS:

The Hon’ble court heard both the parties, it was the final arguments by the
counsel of the petitioner, he pressed upon the needs of the petitioner which
called for cancellation of this transfer order. It was urged by the counsel of the
petitioner that in order to meet the ends of justice, it was required to invalidate
the transfer order and stay all the further actions taken in furtherance of the
transfer order. The Court was convinced to grant the relief prayed by the
petitioner.

OBSERVATIONS: I noticed that court took into consideration the factors like
the responsibility of the petitioner towards her family, her mental and physical
condition and compared the pros and cons of the transfer while granting the
relief. The relief was granted after balancing the concerns of both the parties.

Day 16
Went to see a property matter at Karkardooma Court in the matter of:

Mahesh Singh v. I.S. Oberoi

FACTS:

Here, the Plaintiff was alleging that the area of stairs which was the common
passage for both the parties was his property and denied all the rights to the
Defendant. Basically, the dispute was a property dispute which was going on
from last 7 years or more.

PROCEEDINGS:

The court had asked the Defendant to submit an affidavit on record along with
the map of the property. The defendant submitted the affidavit but with a
blunder that he inadvertently missed to put his signature on the affidavit. The
Court severely censured the Defendant but took the affidavit on record and gave
next date of hearing.

OBSERVATION:

I think that Court could have been soft with the Defendant as he was a man of
80 years old and it was prima facie visible that he did not have any malafide
intention to cheat upon the Court. He was in hurry to reach the court as the
matter was already called in the court and I as a counsel for plaintiff was
arguing, he could not check the affidavit and affix his signature. I think that if
court had any doubt about the credibility of the Defendant, it could have asked
for a fresh affidavit then and there only for which even the defendant was ready,
rather he suggested this to the Hon’ble court.

Day 17
Sir was absent today so I attended normal Court proceedings.

It was a case of:

Megha Kalra v. State of Haryana

• The daughter-in-law of the petitioner had filed frivolous FIR in Faridabad

against the Petitioner in order to abuse the process of law. Hence, the
anticipatory bail application by the petitioner.

• The Hon’ble Court heard the arguments of both the parties and decided the
case on merit in favor of the petitioner granting her the anticipatory bail as it
was prima facie evident that the FIR lodged was a frivolous one.

OBSERVATION

The Court perused the FIR and the other documents produced by the Petitioner
while granting anticipatory bail. I think that the Hon’ble Court was very
cautious while granting anticipatory bail and laid down the conditions to ensure
the compliance with those conditions by the petitioner. Another case was
Mamta Chamoli v. Dr Chamoli on matrimonial dispute. The parties had
sought for divorce. The first motion petition was filed by both the parties. Next
date of hearing was fixed after 6 months. Meanwhile, it was suggested to the
parties to try to reconcile and they have the liberty to withdraw the case within 6
months. I learnt about the procedure followed in 21 the case of divorce by
mutual consent and how a Judge plays role in such cases. As in Hindu Dharma
marriage is considered to be a sacrament, so it becomes really tough for a Judge
to decide a case of divorce as the decision could offend the religious followers.

Day 18
We went to the Family Court of Tis Hazari Court,

In a Civil case I attended a date with my guide who was representing the
petitioner. The counsel of respondent was to do the cross-examination of our
witness. The Respondent’s counsel sought next date for doing cross
examination at which Magistrate got irked and warned him that cost will be
imposed for delaying the case. At this respondent’s counsel started
crossexamination. It was surprising to note that the cross-examination was
carried out by lawyers and typist was noting down the observations, as guided
by lawyers of both sides, whereas the Magistrate was busy with other case. This
was may be due to excessive pendency in courts but the purpose of carrying out
cross examination gets defeated as Magistrate could not have observed the
demeanour and conduct of witness for effective delivery of justice. obligation,
in the capacity of an advocate, increases when, the litigant belongs to needy and
lower strata of the society and further, is sometimes even illiterate

Day 19
In the matter of:

Munesh Rawat v. BSES Yamuna Power Ltd.

• The petitioner filed many complaints to the concerned officers and appellate
forums of the BSES Yamuna Power Ltd. regarding the procurement of the
electric connections at the illegally constructed property adjacent to her house,
but no action was taken by the authority. Further, the RTI application was also
filed but the authorities restored to nonaction and complete silence. Left with no
other option, the petitioner filed a complaint u/s 142 of Delhi Electricity Act,
2003 against the BSES Yamuna Power Ltd. praying for the removal of the
installed electricity connections.

OBSERVATION AT THE DATE OF HEARING:

- The matter was listed for hearing.

 PART –B

LEGAL DOCUMENTS DRAFTED

 CONCLUSION

The internship experience has been an eye opener for me and has helped me
develop a better understanding of the practical aspects of legal profession. It has
provided me with the necessary exposure to the application of law to realworld
issues. It was also fascinating to observe how the simplest of laws were
applicable in the most difficult of situations and how loopholes leave so much
scope for evaluation and improvisation in the field of law. My respect for the
profession has grown manifold looking at how much hard work and time is
invested by an advocate in the preparation of each case. I would like to
conclude with the vote of thanks and express my gratefulness for this
experience as well as for the patience shown to go through this internship diary.
